Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 173

Soon, it was the day of the charity event.

Because of some matters, Rick had to arrive a little later.

Charlotte walked into the hotel alone and was brought into the main hall by an usher.

The place was similar to a movie or concert hall. In the center there were five or six huge screens, which made it convenient for people to see what was going on in the middle of the venue from any angle.

The seating were sofas. They were accompanied by small tea tables with iPads on them. It was very convenient to call waiters from outside, or to buy snacks and drinks.

On it were the words: All additional proceeds will be included in the funds for this charity event.

Charlotte ordered fish and chips and a glass of soda water. The food came very quickly, arriving in less than five minutes. The ingredients were very fresh.

Soon.

The party began.

Rick hadn't arrived yet, but Charlotte did not feel stressed about it. In any case, she had just come because of formalities. Once the Jane Corporation gave the check to the host it would be done.

Because of the great influence of the Jane family, they were arranged toward the beginning of the ceremony. Charlotte handed a check of 300,000 dollars to the host.

This was a hard and fast rule made by the organizer. The donation couldn't be less than 50,000 dollars or more than 300,000 dollars.

Charlotte left the stage, but someone stopped her.

The lights were dim, so no one else could see this alcove.

She looked at the woman wearing a champagne- colored dress with a calm expression. "Miss Allen, what can I do for you?"

"You used someone else's child to bind Shane to you. Don't you think you're a bit too much? He's going to marry me soon, but he has to raise your child for you." Tiffany raised her chin and looked haughtily down at her. "I won't let you ruin my life."

"How do you know that the child is not Shane's?" Charlotte retorted.

She hated being provoked.

Tiffany's face changed suddenly. "You! It's impossible!"

"You can continue to fight for the life you want, but there is no need for you to be arrogant here. Mrs. Fuller Senior likes Sheryl. This has nothing to do with Shane."

"Humph, you dare to say it's not your trickery?" Tiffany grabbed her arm hard.

"Trickery?" Charlotte thought.

If she had wanted to use Sheryl to bind Shane to her...

She would have done it when they had had their divorce.

Charlotte shook off Tiffany's hand and was not bothered to say anything more.

Tiffany watched her leave, but her lips curled up. "Charlotte Emerson, I've already prepared a 'surprise' for you. Enjoy it."

Back at her seat.

Charlotte was bored and ate her fish and chips. Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

She had thought that it was Rick. After all, it was about time for him to arrive.

But when she took out her phone, she found that it was Shane. Why had he sent her a message?

Charlotte opened it with suspicion.

"Come outside."

There were only two simple words.

She frowned. "What's the matter?"

"I have something to tell you. Come to the second floor immediately. I'll wait for you here."

Shane was here too?

For some reason, his tone made her uncomfortable.

She instinctively felt that this was not his typical tone of voice.

Charlotte hesitated.

What if Tiffany had said something to Shane and he was looking for her about Sheryl? What would she do then?

In the end, she still decided to go meet him.

On the second floor, she waited for a long time but didn't see Shane. When she was about to go back downstairs, a man suddenly grabbed her on the shoulder.

She immediately resisted, but she was not as strong as he was.

Charlotte didn't know how she lost consciousness. It could have been a psychedelic drug, or maybe she had been strangled into unconsciousness.

The point was.

When she woke up again, she was in a room.

Her clothes were immaculate, but in front of her was a man taking off his clothes.

Panicked, she subconsciously moved backward to hide. When the man wasn't looking, she used the corner of the table to cut the rope around her hands.

She quietly took an ashtray.

"Hey, lady, you're awake?" The man's figure was not bad, and he was not ugly. He didn't look too old either, more like a college student.

Charlotte looked at the man coldly.

The man walked towards her. "Don't worry, I have some good skills. It's not the first time I'm doing this. Cooperate with me for these two photos, okay? So it won't hurt or anything."

When she saw that he was about to approach her, Charlotte raised her hand and smashed the ashtray against his head.

She took advantage of the man's dizziness and immediately threw herself toward the candle on the wall. She didn't care if her hands hurt or not. She protected the flame and threw it on the sheets.

Suddenly, there was a sea of fire between her and the man.

After she did all this, Charlotte leaned against the wall and gasped for air. The man seemed to have given her something before. Her vision was blurred, her hearing was reduced, and her limbs were also very weak.

If she wanted to leave this place...

She had to use her brains.

"Damn, why can't you be obedient? What benefit will you get if you burn the place like this?" The man held his head and gnashed his teeth. "I'm going to kill you!"

Charlotte watched as he walked over step by step. Suddenly, she took off her clothes and threw them at him.

The exquisite coat caught on the fire and landed on the man's body.

As the man shouted, he reached out his hand and threw something at Charlotte.

Charlotte raised her hand to block it, only to find a gash in her arm. The man's trousers were burned, but he continued to walk towards her while cursing. He even kept throwing things at her.

She didn't know which floor she was on...

Charlotte looked at the window nearby.

Forget it.

Besides, staying here would get her nowhere.

Charlotte took a deep breath and covered the wound on her arm. She stumbled to her feet and ran to the glass window.

"Where are you going? Come back, come back now! See if I don't kill you! B*tch, damned woman, don't run if you have the balls. You actually messed me up..." The man cursed and sped toward her.

It was too late. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Charlotte threw herself out of the window violently.

As the glass shattered, she took out her phone and made a call to Rick.

She hoped that he could find her.

She was in a daze. After the violent collision, she couldn't feel anything.

In the hospital.

Rick's eyes turned red from his anger, and the joints of his hands left a lot of bloody marks on the wall.

Anne held his arm to stop him from doing anything stupid.

The bright red light above the closed operating room door in front of them was particularly dazzling.

Braden panted as he ran over. "I... I've already completed all the procedures. Don't worry about it. I'm taking a break now."

"Where is Shane?" Rick's voice was so cold that it could freeze water.

"I don't know. I have already contacted him. Rick, you can rest assured that I will definitely stand on you and Anne's side. With something like this happening to Lottie, I won't hide anything from you."

Rick didn't even look at him. He pushed Anne's hand away and slowly took out his wallet.

This era.

It was the era of cashless payment.

Few people brought their wallets with them now.

However, there was something that he could only place in his wallet—Charlotte's photo.

This item was more useful than anything.

Anne opened her mouth but dared not say anything. She only sighed.

The door of the operating room suddenly opened.

"The patient's condition has stabilized. It's just that some glass has cut her neck, and more than 20 stitches were made, so there may be some scarring," the doctor said.

"Are you saying that she's fine now?" Rick looked up and asked.

"Yes, during this time, she should take care of her nutrition."

"Okay, thank you."

Charlotte lay on the bed that was being pushed forward by someone.

Her hair was disheveled and she wore an oxygen mask. She was covered with a navy blue blanket.

The only differences between a living person and a dead person being sent out of the operating room were a mask and white cloth.

Anne saw the injuries on Charlotte's neck and face and felt her heart ache. She grabbed Rick's hand and said, "Rick, Charlotte is such a beautiful woman. Now she's injured all over, how will she

get married in the future..."

"I don't mind." Rick's eyes became redder. He gnashed his teeth and said, "If Shane doesn't give me an explanation this time, I will... take my revenge on NC Company and the Fuller family!"
