Chapter 143
Chapter 143
In the beginning, Charlotte didn't take it seriously, but when she saw the names on the report, she was completely stunned.
Sheryl and Shane were father and daughter!
Charlotte's pupils suddenly contracted. Her hand, which was holding onto the paper, trembled as tears of excitement welled up in her eyes.
Sheryl was saved.
She had found Sheryl's father, which meant that she could have the operation. The doctor said that after the completion of the operation, there was no danger of relapse before the age of eight.
As long as they found her father before the age of eight and found matching bone marrow, they could definitely do the transplant. The blood cancer, namely leukemia, could not do anything to Sheryl.
Charlotte tightened her grip on the documents. She tidied them up properly and put them back into her bag.
She couldn't wait to rush to the old mansion now and kiss Sheryl's face all over.
Just as she was so excited, the sound of a key opening the door came.
Squeak—
The door was pushed open.
Charlotte excitedly stood up.
As she watched Shane walking towards her, her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
"I..." She couldn't wait to tell him that Sheryl was his daughter and that she was ill. "I have something to tell you."
"Let's end the contract."
Before Charlotte could say anything, Shane spoke. He was straightforward and did not give her any chance to go first.
Charlotte was rooted to the spot. She didn't know where to put her hands. She asked in disbelief, "What, what did you say?"
"Let's end the contract. In addition to the villa, I will give you another 50 million dollars."
End the contract, and he would give her 50 million dollars?
Charlotte laughed, "50 million? Is this... compensation?"
Shane raised his eyebrows and remained silent. If you observed carefully, you could see the thoughtful look in his eyes.
It was a pity.
Charlotte did not notice this touch of thoughtfulness.
"Shane, I don't care about your money. I don't want any of it." She took a deep breath and tried to control the pain in her chest.
"What do you want then? As long as the contract is ended, I can..."
"I don't care about anything you can give."
Charlotte grabbed the bag tightly in her hand.
It didn't matter. She could find another way. Even if she lost everything, she would try her best to cure Sheryl.
"I've been in love with Shane since I was ten."
"One day, he will marry me."
Tiffany's words echoed in her ears.
It seemed that she did not need to seek confirmation anymore. Shane would marry Tiffany.
He cared about her, so he couldn't wait to break the contract with Charlotte.
Charlotte calmed herself down and raised her head expressionlessly. She met Shane's gaze and said, "I don't want anything from you."
Shane pursed his lips and tightened the hanging hand on his side into a fist. He had just been testing her to see how she would react. And now she couldn't wait to be rid of him?
The scene at the engagement party was still seared into his brain.
"Are you sure?" He was so arrogant that he could only say the three thin words.
"The marriage contract was originally brought up by you. I'm very grateful that you've taken care of Sheryl and me this past while. Thank you," Charlotte said as she paused for a moment. "I'm going to take Sheryl away right now."
"Wait." Shane said in a deep voice, "Wait until Grandma returns to Hartsville before taking Sheryl."
Sure enough, he had only signed the marriage contract with her for the sake of Mrs. Fuller Senior.
Charlotte smiled. From a few days ago until now, she had been worrying about her personal situation so much that she had become completely numb.
She just realized that she was relying on him, and she didn't want to let him go. But, in a blink of an eye, she was going to part ways with him.
"Okay, I will pick Sheryl up after Mrs. Fuller Senior returns. I will give you a letter of resignation as soon as possible in the next two days."
As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte left with her bag.
Bang—
Although the world was so big, there was no place for her to stay.
The paternity test in the bag became very hot. She thought for a moment before finally taking it out and throwing it into the trash can.
In any case, she didn't need it anymore.
Cole, who had been waiting downstairs, saw this scene and curiously stuck his head out.
Why had Ms. Emerson come down as soon as Mr. Fuller had gone up?
Within the living room.
Shane took out a small box from his pocket.
He opened the box and threw it on the coffee table.
The necklace he had bought while abroad had been given to Tiffany in a fit of anger, so before he came back, he had gone to the pawnshop to have a look.
He had chosen a necklace that was even more suitable for Charlotte. The seller said that this necklace was called the "Flower of Fate".
The gem looked like a drop of water, but its texture was more like a diamond, rather than a crystal.
He had thought that, after knowing that he would break off their contract, she would at least ask why. Then, he would take out the box, saying that he was teasing her or saying nothing not all.
He wanted to see if she would be affected if he wanted to escape this situation.
Obviously, the answer was no.
Shane closed his eyes.
In his mind, the image of Christopher wiping away Charlotte's tears for her replayed over and over again. His rationality was burned with the rage that was produced from his jealousy.
When Cole heard the sound coming from upstairs, there was only a mess on the ground.
He went over to Shane and said, "Mr. Fuller, your hand is injured. I'll call Doctor..."
"There's no need." The man said in a husky voice, "Go and tell Tiffany that I agree with her request."
"What? Didn't you say you wanted me to refuse her?" Cole didn't understand.
What had Ms. Emerson said to Mr. Fuller? NôvelDrama.Org content.
Was Mr. Fuller being impetuous?
Cole was a yes-man. Although he wanted to ask, he did not dare to.
"Go."
"Yes, sir."
The only thing Cole could do was inform Henry while he started the vehicle again.
As he passed by the trash can, he hesitated and decided to stop and have a look.
Among the pile of trash, Cole found a brown paper envelope.
There were three big words on the paper envelope-To Anne Jane.
Anne Jane?
"Could it be that Mr. Fuller had quarreled with Ms. Emerson because of Ms. Jane?" Cole thought.
Cole was careful. He picked up the document and wiped its filthy surface with a wet napkin.
After a few days, when Mr. Fuller's mood was slightly better, Cole would tell him that he found this envelope from Ms. Emerson, and maybe he could save their relationship.
A few days later.
Charlotte submitted her resignation, and Mrs. Fuller Senior also returned to Hartsville. Charlotte then brought Sheryl with her.
Sheryl had been looking forward to being with her Daddy and Mommy. She had been happy at first.
But when she saw that Charlotte was in a bad mood, the little girl was very sensible and didn't ask about it. She only accompanied Charlotte quietly.
On that day, Sheryl nudged Charlotte awake.
"Mommy, Mommy, your phone keeps ringing all the time." The little girl lay down beside her with the phone in her hand.
Charlotte leaned over and patted her head. "Thank you, darling."
When she looked, she found that there were more than 20 missed calls on her phone. Half of them were from Anne and the other half was from Braden.
She sighed and dialed back.
"Are you looking for trouble? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing!" Anne roared on her end.
"And say what? That I was abandoned by Shane? Quick, come and comfort me?" Charlotte's voice was hoarse.
Anne was silent for a moment and sighed. "Where are you? I'll go over right now."
Charlotte glanced at Sheryl next to her and said, "I'm at a hotel. Let's find a place to meet."
"Charlotte, you're so silly. Didn't you know that you could have come to my house? Are you trying to piss me off, you dummy!" Anne screamed. She wanted to step through the phone, grab Charlotte's head and violently knock on it.
"I didn't want to bother you. After all, you just got engaged."
"It's an engagement, not a wedding." Anne was furious. "I don't care. Come to my house immediately and bring my precious Sheryl with you!"
"Thank you."
After she heard those two words, Anne's anger grew even more potent. "How dare you thank me!"
And yet.
When Charlotte appeared in front of her, Anne couldn't say a word.
Charlotte looked so haggard.
Anne gave Charlotte a tender hug and leaned over to look at the little girl beside her.
Sheryl was calm, and it seemed that she didn't know what had happened yet.
Anne sighed. "Were the documents I gave you useless? Why did you still quarrel with Shane?"
"I didn't quarrel with him, I..."
"Lottie!" Braden, who had been on the second floor, also saw Lottie. He hurriedly ran downstairs and said, "You need to follow me to NC Company right now. We will talk to Shane and tell him that your child is his. He definitely won't mention divorcing you again."
