Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 359

"That is to say, the person who gave Braden the clothes doesn't know what he likes or even his size? That's why his outfit is so strange. Look at this pair of pants and shirt. They are not of the same style." Charlotte pointed at the monitor screen.

"Yes." Shane nodded. "That's why you guessed that it wasn't Christopher."

"If it wasn't Christopher, who else could it be? Could it really be Caleb?" Charlotte bit her lip.

"That's a good thing."

"Indeed, if it wasn't Christopher, at least Braden wouldn't need to worry about his life. You made the right choice by not calling the police earlier." Charlotte clicked open a webpage. Initially she wanted to check the maps but she had a bad sense of direction so she gave up eventually.

She didn't know where Braden and Anne were.

It was heart-wrenching.

In the alley.

Braden was lying on a reclining chair in the courtyard. His hands were shackled and his feet were tied up but this did not affect his mood. He was humming a tune while ordering the man beside him to feed him a piece of watermelon.

It felt good to have someone wait on you whenever you open your mouth.

"Hey, do you think this is a holiday?" Caleb felt furious when he saw him this way. Why is there no response from the Collins and Jane family? Even if they didn't care, why hadn't Shane responded?

Was Braden not his best friend?

"Isn't it?" Braden shrugged and moved into a more comfortable position. "Did you expect me to cry and beg you to release me? Don't worry, even if you killed me I will thank you for helping me leave this dull world. Not only will I not hate you but I will love you for it."

Caleb twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "There isn't a single normal person by Shane's side."

"I think Avery is normal."

"You're disgusting."

"It's a pity that Avery and Shane are no longer friends. I haven't seen him for a long time," Braden sighed sadly. "I heard that your sister is with that b*stard Rick, right? Don't you think he is insane?"

"He's your brother-in-law." Caleb took a chair and sat down in front of Braden.

He didn't have time the past two days, now that he sat down and talked to him, he noticed this guy was quite interesting.

"So what if he's my brother-in-law? Can't I hate him? He's neither capable nor good looking. I don't even know why my wife treats him like a god. It's so disgusting.” Braden ate another bite of watermelon.

"He's not capable? He controls the Jane Corporation, how can he not be capable?"

"Don't you know why Mielle was killed? It was because there was no point in killing Rick." Braden looked at Caleb exasperatedly. "You're quite interesting. You and Rick are partners but you don't know these?"

Caleb really didn't know what had happened between Rick and Mielle. At most, he only knew of the situation but he didn't know the details.

"Hey, according to you, the Jane Corporation would be finished soon under Rick?"

"Would Shane allow him to end it? Think about it.” Braden yawned. "Why would Shane support me? Because he has no other way. Everyone could clearly see Christopher's other intentions. He wants Shane out of the NC Company. But I'm different. Although I'm not as useful but I'm loyal."

"You mean, Rick listens to Shane?"

"Or else?"

Caleb's face instantly darkened. "So, he never meant to work with the Stevens family?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe it's Shane's idea to work with you. Maybe it's Shane who wants to work with you."

"Shane wants to work with us? My sister kidnapped his daughter. Why would he want to work with us?"

"Huh? Didn't you know your sister was hypnotised by Christopher? No, you don't even know about this matter?"

How could Caleb know about this?

The people who had tested for hypnosis were Shane and Rick. Neither of them told others about it. Even Kendall herself didn't know what had happened. Of course Caleb didn't know this. But Braden obviously wouldn't tell him this. He told Caleb it was him who realised the situation and brought Rick for the test, then he brought Kendall and told them not to tell anyone.

"Initially I planned to tell you a few weeks after this has ended. But who knows, I have actually forgotten about it while talking with you." Braden curled his lips casually.

"You really thought about it?"

"Think about it, you would definitely look for Christopher if I told you. Don't you think Christopher would drive a wedge between you and Rick?" Braden snorted coldly. "Let me warn you, don't always treat others as fools and think you are the smartest. You think I'm able to stay by Shane's side for so long because I'm outstanding? It's because I'm quick-witted."

Caleb was silent. Braden looked so easy going but in reality, his words were very profound. His logic was also very clear.

"I know what you mean." At this point, Caleb could only go along with Braden.

Braden changed his posture again. He clapped his hands and ordered Caleb to take away the watermelon. "Let me tell you, Rick is a sucker that can be hypnotised. What great things can he achieve? If I hadn't investigated this matter thoroughly, he would have fallen out with Avery too. He had already lost Shane and Charlotte, he will have a hard time getting back up."

"So, at that time, Rick made a fake testimony for my sister because of Christopher?"

"Yes. Christopher's woman, Elaine, you know her, don't you?"

"Yes." "You know that Elaine is Charlotte's stepmother,

don't you?"

Who would've known about this? Who would've thought about it?

Ryland gaped at Shane in disbelief as he said, "Didn't they release the news that Christopher bought the Emerson Corporation after the previous chairman died then he helped his woman obtain a higher position?"

"Do you believe this nonsense? Then why did he choose the Emerson Corporation? That time Shane and Charlotte weren't even together," Braden whistled as he spoke.

Did he twist the truth?

He didn't.

At that time, Charlotte hadn't been with Shane.

It was also true that Christopher's acquisition of Emerson Corporation had nothing to do with Charlotte. Who could say it was related to them except for the people who were involved?

No one could.

"Then I understand. After the death of the chairman of Emerson Corp, Elaine went to Christopher and asked him to help her secure her position in the company. Besides, Christopher had always been dissatisfied with Shane. Am I right?"

"Then I would have to tell you the third thing."

"What is it?"

"Christopher is Shane's half-brother."

As soon as he said that.

Caleb immediately stood up from his chair. He strode to Braden's side and took the bonds off his hands and feet. He helped him up and asked, "Should we talk somewhere else?"

"Oh, now you're treating me well?" Braden snorted. "I'm telling you I've been holding in my annoyance for the past few days. If you don't treat me to a proper meal to appease my anger, I will not say a word."

"Of course, I would even send you back now." Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Caleb only realised the mistake he made now.

The man before him seemed to be Shane's best friend. He looked like he was the most useless and freeloading person but in reality the information he had was just as useful as Avery's!
