Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 392

Rick chuckled. "I did a background check before recommending him to you. I will not talk about other aspects of his life, though. But I'll say that he has already refused Christopher, and he is short on money. Am I clear?"

Charlotte nodded immediately, "I think I understand what you mean. I'll contact him right now. I have his contact information. However, should we call him here or find another place? After all, outsiders are still under the impression that you and Avery are estranged. If someone discovered that you two were actually on good terms, it might be quite troublesome."

"He doesn't have to come over. He just needs to do it according to my list. You can contact him with my phone, and I'll talk to him."

"All right."

Charlotte, Rick, and Avery went to work. Kendall was left twiddling her thumbs, so she resorted to playing games on her phone. Rick had already reassembled her phone, hence there was no need to worry about being located. However, her phone ran out of juice. Kendall lowered her head in frustration. She was unable to help and she did not have a phone to kill time with. What else could she do here?

Suddenly, Rick grasped her hand. She turned her head to him and he handed his phone to her, "Avery is done with Charlotte's phone. You can use mine."

"You still have business to attend to. I'm fine." Kendall waved her hand and did not take the phone.

"It's okay." Rick smiled and stroked her head. "It's boring for you to be here alone. You can install apps or watch videos."

Kendall held his phone and felt restless. She didn't know what to play, or how to return the phone. She could only sit stiffly in place.

Charlotte and Avery paid no attention to Rick and Kendall. Charlotte had managed to contact Luciano and had a lot of things to discuss with him. Avery was busy sniping all the information sent by the other party and giving Cassius the exact time to upload the video. Two of them were racing against the clock. Rick was seated on the sofa, drinking coffee and eating biscuits. At this point, there was almost nothing left for him to do.

After staying up the whole night, Charlotte fell asleep at the table. Avery found several assistants to take over his assignment.

At five o'clock in the morning, Rick received a call from Shane. After briefly explaining the matter, Shane only responded lightly. In the next two hours, all their problems disappeared in an instant.

Charlotte and Avery easily solved every single problem and they were very excited. Charlotte found a hotel nearby to rest, while Avery slept in his own shop. By the time Kendall and Rick left the cafe, there was only twelve percent of battery left on Rick's phone. His phone did live up to its reputation of having a durable battery life.

It was five o'clock in the morning and the sky was still dark. It started drizzling and Rick took off his coat and draped it on Kendall. "Who do you think was the best today?"

"Shane." Kendall replied without thinking, "If he hadn't called at the end to help Charlotte and Avery, we would probably still be working."

"Only him?"

"No, I think everyone did their best, but Shane was the best," Kendall explained.

Rick shook his head with a smile. "Have you ever thought how did Shane help accurately?"

Kendall failed to come up with an answer and hung her head dejectedly. "Rick, I know I'm dumb. You don't have to highlight it."

Amused, Rick started laughing. "Fine, I'll tell you

the answer."

The most powerful person.

It was Luciano.

Although Luciano did not make an appearance, he cooperated with Charlotte and Avery and left a client server open, so Shane could connect in the shortest possible time and upload all his resources without being discovered by Avery and Charlotte. If this matter was left in the hands of Avery and Charlotte, they definitely would not be able to complete one- third of what Luciano achieved.

Kendall finally realized how powerful Luciano was. Curious, she asked, "Rick, have you seen him? What kind of a person is he?"

"Are you interested in him?"

"I'm not interested, I'm just curious. He should be tall and handsome, like those heroes in TV series and movies."

"Sorry to disappoint, but Luciano is an ordinary person."

Ordinary?

Kendall blinked. Although she wasn't disappointed, she still felt that it was quite strange. Simple, ordinary, these words didn't seem to measure up to a genius. But Rick had just painted Luciano as

a mastermind.

As Kendall and Rick got into the car, their clothes were damp.

Kendall took off Rick's clothes, folded them properly, and held them in her arms. "Shall we go home now?"

"Yeah, are you sleepy?"

"A little bit."

"Then let's go back first. I'll head to the office after taking a shower and sleeping. You can charge your phone, too."

"All right."

Rick drove past the hotel where Charlotte was staying the night. He saw a familiar car and shook his head with a smile. He sighed, "Who else would do such a thing?"

"What is it?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"It's nothing."

That car belonged to Shane, whose license plate and model were the same.

Sometimes he was really envious of Shane who dared to fearlessly express his love. Rick couldn't, he wasn't that bold.

Avery slept for a while. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon.

He tidied up his things in a hurry and went home.

Sheryl and Olive ran to him and made a big fuss over him. Despite feeling tired, he still took care of them before returning to his room to take a bath and sleep.

As soon as he lay down, he remembered that Cassius should have uploaded a video at this time. He took out his phone and as expected, Cassius was already trending with multiple platforms showing his video.

Avery clicked on it.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cassius. I apologize for not speaking out regarding recent events. I'm very grateful to Ms. Emerson for helping me get out from under my company. Without her, I wouldn't have a chance to stand here and make this video."

With this sentence alone, Avery knew that there would not be a problem.

Cassius did not mention him and Rick, which was enough.

Avery turned off his phone and went to sleep.

At the same time.

Charlotte was also watching the video. She had just woken up, plopped against Shane's chest eating a bowl of strawberries and apples with a fruit fork in her hand.

"The purpose of this video is to stop the rumor mill. Firstly, I did not help my fans with the lawsuit. This was all the company and the team. Secondly, I never wanted to be their puppet. I am a person, and I have no strings. Yes, I admit that my brother's father needs money, and my brother is seriously injured. Therefore, I have to join the entertainment industry to pay my debts. But it doesn't mean that I am not human."

"I have my own hobbies. I love cooking. In this account, you can see the dishes I made in the past."

"I like flower arrangement. I usually go out for a jog and get some fresh air."

"My social circle is actually very limited. It's not as complicated as I claimed on the Internet."

For the first time, Cassius was introducing himself to his fans and oblivious passerby.

For some reason, the rims of Charlotte's eyes reddened.
