Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 149



Chapter 149

Charlotte was startled for a moment. She drank some water to hide her emotions.

Rick continued, "Right now, NC's situation is not serious. Maybe it's just another one of Shane's plans. He might have suspected that there is a mole in NC, so he played along with Christopher. It's also possible that Christopher is the mole."

"Christopher is a good person." Charlotte immediately retorted.

"There are no good or bad people in the capital market, only profit and loss."

"It's merciless." She lowered her head.

"A few years ago, you promised that by learning, you could definitely take back what you have lost. Are you backing down now?"

"I didn't!"

Charlotte replied in agitation, "I'll get it back in my own way. I don't necessarily have to do it how the capital market does it."

Rick was not annoyed at all. He stretched his body and tapped the armrest of the sofa lightly with his long fingers. "Lottie, have you done anything productive after returning to our home country for so long? Without capital to back you up, you won't even be able to walk through the gates of the Emerson family."

"Yes." Charlotte thought.

"He was right."

She said that she wanted revenge, but in fact, she did not have the courage to cut off all means of retreat.

She was like a frog in warm water, slowly watching herself being boiled to death in the pot.

"Let's not talk about Christopher for the time being, but you have to be clear about what is going to happen next."

"I... got it."

Charlotte didn't expect this.

In the end, what made her qualified to face the Emerson Corporation and Elaine was not hatred nor anger, but Rick's gentle and patient voice.

After a week.

Every day, Charlotte would recite all kinds of terms to an extreme state. She had no basics in finance, and she had to start learning everything about it by reading "The Wealth of Nations".

Fortunately, Rick was always beside her. He

could explain difficult problems in a simpler way, making it easier for her to learn finance than at school. As for deeper problems, she did not have enough time to settle them due to her being in a rush.

In the week alone, NC's stock prices fell. Emerson Corporation had purchased nearly 30% of the shares, and Shane only had about 40% of them.

If things went on like this, it was just a matter of time before NC would have a new chairperson.

"This isn't right." Rick looked at the report and found that there was something wrong with it. "When Shane created NC, which was a wholly-owned enterprise, he should still have 60% of the shares in addition to the old shareholders of the Fuller Group."

"20% of the shares have disappeared." Charlotte also noticed the problem.

"I don't see any information on any share transfer notaries."

So he hid his shares?

No, there was no way to hide shares.

The only way was to transfer it to someone, but who would Shane transfer 20% of the shares to?

Rick asked his special assistant to send

Charlotte back to the villa. After sitting alone in the office for a long time, he finally asked his secretary to call out everything under Charlotte's name.

He finally found the 20% of shares that might not even be found by anyone in the whole world.

Shane actually hid the shares under the name of the woman who he married and divorced in secret.

Not to mention the people of the Emerson family, even Shane's former best friend, Christopher, who had participated in this scheme, would not expect the whereabouts of these shares.

Charlotte was Shane's trump card.

Rick closed his eyes.

"From the point of view of the capital market, I should make Charlotte transfer the shares to me now and let Shane disappear in the capital circle..."

NC was excellent in both angel investments and A rounds. They invested in dozens of companies, large and small.

Not to mention that they still had properties under their name.

20% of NC's shares was almost equal to the lifelong wealth of the top ten wealthiest people in a city.

After a while.

Rick opened his eyes and undid his necktie. He took out his phone and tapped on the word "Anne" in the contacts.

"Brother?" Anne seemed to be in a mall, and the noise over there was very loud.

"How did Shane and Charlotte get divorced?"

"According to Lottie, it's because of a woman named Tiffany Allen. Do you want all the information? It's quite complicated."

"Send it over."

The information was already with Anne, and she sent it to Rick in less than half a minute.

Rick then sneered and asked, "Do you actually believe this was the reason?"

Her elder brother's voice was so cold.

"Lottie said that she decided to help Shane and Tiffany get together. I don't know the specific situation and I can't make judgments."

"Alright."

"Brother, what happened exactly?" Anne asked cautiously.

"Nothing much. Have fun with Braden. I'll transfer another one million to your card later."

"I love you. I wish you and Charlotte will get together soon!" Anne exclaimed and hung up.

Rick, on the other hand, looked at the information in hand with a dark expression.

Would Shane, who was willing to place his life stakes on Charlotte, turn around and get together with another woman?

His plan would only be finally complete after he got his shares back from Charlotte.

If he got together with another woman, once Charlotte decided not to cooperate by returning his shares after divorcing him, he would immediately fall from the position of NC's president.

"It seems that we have to fly home sooner than we thought."

He wanted to see how Shane carried out his final plan.

For three consecutive weeks, Charlotte was finally able to make a relatively correct judgement based on the current market conditions under Rick's and high- pressure training.

Of course, she still couldn't compare to those from professional university courses. However, as an executive and a negotiator, it was enough for her to understand a little about finance, and the data would be settled by others.

It was finally the day Charlotte returned to her country.

On the same plane, Rick, his secretary and his special assistant were all present.

"Brother, do we just leave everything overseas as it is?" Anne was very worried about it.

"There is a professional CEO, and the investment department has been expanding the foreign market. They have very unique insight." Rick explained.

Anne nodded, not fully understanding.

By his side, Charlotte smiled and added, "If I remember correctly, the company had invested in the largest online shopping platform nine years ago. In theory, we can earn more than ten million a month by relying solely on the 12% of shares on the platform."

This project alone was able to give an annual net profit of a hundred million.

This was the dream of so many investment companies locally and abroad.

"That's right, I didn't expect you to also have investigated the internal information of the company." Rick praised.

"How could I not do something productive when I was raised to such a position by you."

"Wait a minute, what are you guys talking about?" Anne's face held a look of incomprehension. "What do you mean by the company's internal information?"

"It's like this..."

Charlotte didn't expect that Rick didn't tell Anne about Charlotte's role in the local project. She thought it was a decision Rick had made after discussing it with Anne.

That made her very nervous. What if Anne thought that she was taking advantage of their relationship to get such resources and opportunities, and what would happen to their friendship...

Unexpectedly, Anne's expression lit up when she heard this. "Brother, this is a good move!"

Charlotte was speechless.

She almost forgot that this was Anne, a woman who couldn't wait for her to take advantage of their family's property and to marry her brother.

"This is not a private matter, but a public matter. It's a proposal agreed by the top management of the company." Rick smiled.

"Lottie is amazing." Anne immediately started praising Charlotte.

Braden, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and licked the corner of his lips.

There were generally two proposals in letting the higher-ups agree with this decision and allowing Charlotte to take over the business in the local market.

Firstly, Charlotte had an extremely impressive record, which forced the higher- ups of the Jane Corporation to look at her in a different light—this was obviously impossible. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Secondly, the Bet- on Agreement. Rick and Charlotte had to make sufficient profits within the time limit, or else Rick would have to pay an even higher price.

Rick was being too kind to Charlotte.

Braden smacked his lips and said, "Anne, is the Jane Corporation a 100% holding company?"

"How is that possible? Who would still be a 100% holding company if they are already in the top 500? We have all been through several rounds of financing." Anne complained mercilessly, "You don't even know about this?"

Braden smiled. Just as he was about to say something, a pair of gentle eyes laced with a hint of sharpness fell on him.
