Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 260

"Are you alright?" Charlotte helped the person on the ground to get up.

"What's wrong with your friend? My family is not short of money. I want him to pay the price!" The man pushed the money away.

"It's like this. His family has some influence and may not just leave it be. Why don't we find a winwin solution?" Charlotte asked tentatively.

If she were to drag the Hart family back into this at this juncture...

It would be too chaotic.

It would be better to just let things go.

"Oh, it's not a big deal that I was beaten up. It's just that this is a public area. If you make trouble, you can't just settle things like this"

"I can tell from your words that you're from a respectable family. If we can have a private chat, that would be best. But him? He's used to getting his way in his own city. Look..."

The man looked at Avery, who was sitting at his table with his fists clenched. He looked as if he wanted to tear everything apart.

Forget it.

He would just take it as having met a rabid dog today.

"What about this, beautiful? I definitely won't be picking up that money. Get him to sign me a check. I want to see who his family is."

"Alright."

Charlotte walked over and asked Avery for a check.

Avery had previously been aggravated and he had heard the man curse him out, so he was naturally in a bad mood. Now that he had calmed down, he felt guilty toward him. He signed a check for 100,000 dollars and handed it to Charlotte.

After all, the man's injury seemed to be quite serious. If the matter was brought to the court, if the other party insisted on pressing charges, he might be charged with assault.

Impulsiveness really was the devil.

When the person received the check and saw that Avery was from the Hart family, he immediately changed his attitude. The unexpected turn of events stunned Charlotteirst, he apologized to Charlotte and Avery. Then, he left the cafe with his group. Before he left, he left a business card for Avery. You would have thought that he had been the one who had attacked Avery.

Charlotte was stunned by the unexpected turn of

events.

"I didn't know you were so influential in River City."

"So, my sister is still alive while Irena is dead," Avery answered coldly.

"Don't get mad, calm down for a bit, we..."

"Charlotte, I always felt that we were fated to meet. Just as I was about to meet you, it seemed like we could have met before the arranged date. The moment I saw you on the plane, I knew that we could talk business."

Charlotte was silent.

Avery suddenly got up and held her hand, staring straight into her eyes. "Even if you are no longer cooperating with me for the sake of the Jane family, the original intention of our cooperation has never changed. I still think we can work well together."

"You've gone too far." She wanted to pull her hand away.

"No, listen to me. Charlotte, I believe that this is fated. Today, I want to help you solve your difficulties, so I would like to propose that we cooperate together."

"We have been cooperating with each other for a long time. Can you let go of me now?" She was extremely annoyed.

Avery let go of her hand, but kept staring at her. "I want all the Stevens family members to disappear from the face of the earth. I want them gone from the gene pool and from society."

Charlotte didn't respond. She unconsciously reached to touch her wrist.

There was a bit of coldness in her fingers.

"I'll think about it."

"You can just create opportunities for me, you don't need to dirty your hands."

"I'll need to think about it," Charlotte said resolutely, "But we can deal with the Stevens family first. Don't worry, even if I don't have a way to be your weapon, I won't stop you from making a move. I know how much you hate them."

Avery was completely relieved.

What he feared the most was Charlotte's mercifulness. Just because she said that she wanted to deal with the Stevens family didn't mean that she would get rid of all of them.

If that was the case, he would find someone else to work with and not have to rely on her.

They were about to go their separate ways.

The two of them walked to their cars.

Avery's heart sank as he watched Charlotte get into the car.

"Charlotte."

Charlotte turned around to look at him. "Yes?"

"I have to see Zoe again in these few days to verify her relationship with Irena."

"Okay, no problem."

Charlotte sat in the car. She didn't know where to go for a while. Maybe she should go to the office to make some preparations, but she didn't feel like going for some reason.

She looked in the rearview mirror. Avery was still standing on the side of the road, as if he was thinking about something.

This matter was still a little too serious.

No one could process it in just one night.

In the end.

Charlotte still went to the office. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Shane sitting in her seat and using her computer.

"You're really making yourself comfortable." Charlotte took off her coat and threw it on the sofa. She sat in the chair opposite him.

"It's fine to ask Cole about me if it helps you solve problems, but why did you get Peter to investigate me?" His eyes were cold.

"The people in the Fuller Group are all ingrates."

"So?"

"I'm not investigating you. I just want to know how you started your business and how much hardship you've endured. My heart aches for you, Shane." Charlotte looked at him very seriously.

Her heart ached for him?

Countless women tried to get close to him in order to gain some benefits from him.

He knew that she had always been different, but he never thought that she would one day stand in front of him and say that her heart ached for him.

Did she know that the term was usually used by those who were stronger toward someone weaker than them?

Even though he felt many emotions in his heart, Shane still looked calm and indifferent. "It's unnecessary."

Those words were so cold that Charlotte couldn't tell how Shane felt.

"It doesn't matter if you think my adoration is unnecessary. I feel the need to do this for you!"

"What I mean is that... it's unnecessary to investigate me behind my back. You can just ask me directly."

Ask him directly?

Charlotte's eyes lit up. "So, are you willing to tell me what happened?"

"It's only the past."

"That's great." Charlotte placed her hands on the table as she looked at him with an expectant expression, "Please tell me."

An hour later, the story that Shane gave had already been gone through by Peter and Cole. It was not too complicated.

The Fuller Group was originally a family- run enterprise. Since Theodore was outstanding, everyone trusted him very much and handed the company over to him.

After a few years, Theodore married Raina in order to obtain a piece of land to expand his company.

Two years after their marriage, Shane was born.

When Shane was three years old, he had already learned to read. When he was five years old, he had passed grade four in piano. He was always at the company's office as a child.

All of this was so unreal that it sounded like a dream.

When he was thirteen years old, Yale had noticed him, but he didn't go to school there. After a period of homeschooling, he passed the entrance examination and got into another Ivy League school. There, he obtained an economics degree.

If he had come from a normal family background, it would have been an amazing achievement.

However, he came from the Fuller family...

Shane naturally wanted to enter the Fuller Group.

"The family- run business was originally divided into different branches, and the selection of CEOs was also relegated to outsiders. I was an exception."

Shane's appearance caused the profit of the other members of the Fuller family to decrease.

Fuller Group became Theodore and Shane's playground. The Fuller family was dissatisfied and even created a concerted uproar. It was also because of this, Shane decided to start NC Company.

He might as well take away all the profits he brought.

"That's why you felt something was wrong when Christopher first appeared..."

"That's right."

"That move was really cruel. He is your best friend, and also your biological brother. How could they?" Charlotte was very angry.

Shane didn't react so strongly. "Christopher and I don't regard each other as brothers. Breaking apart was a matter of time for us."

Even so, it was still very cruel.

"No one believes that we are brothers," Shane added.

Charlotte's heart suddenly ached again. She didn't know how to comfort Shane, or perhaps Shane didn't need her comfort at all.

Both of them were silent for a long time.

The ringing of Charlotte's phone broke the silence.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She glanced at the screen and frowned in surprise.

"Who is it?" He could not see her screen from his angle.

"Oh, it's Rick..." Charlotte replied, "Should I pick up?"
