Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 248

"We now have the information, shipping routes, and technique. All we need to do is to turn the tables and we can cause issues for their shipping routes," Shane said in a light tone.

"That..."

"You're not ruthless enough."

Shane pointed out Charlotte's biggest problem with just one sentence.

The fact that she could think of holding up the cargo proved that she had the intention at least to mess with the Emerson Corporation. But since she only wanted to hold up the cargo, it meant that her methods were not cruel enough.

Holding up the cargo would have no effect in a day or two days, and a few months of it might not hurt them badly but would cause them to have a deficit. If they did it for a year, it would hurt the Emerson Corporation, but at the same time, it would cause them some issues too.

She still wanted to be courteous with them. She wanted them to suffer a loss, but she didn't want to go too far.

She was too idealistic.

"I see. We have to hit them where it hurts, so that they won't hit us back."

"You're smart."

"Then, can you tell me which company you're working in? I want to..."

She wanted to do something for him.

Shane didn't answer directly. A few seconds later, he said the name of the company.

Charlotte had heard of this company before. It was also one of the companies in the shipping partnership, and they had a good relationship with Mr. Cullen.

"Wait, Shane, are we still in the shipping partnership?"

"Yes."

"So then..."

"It's inevitable that we'll encounter them."

Charlotte nodded solemnly, but deep inside, she was sighing.

To her and Shane right now, the shipping partnership was definitely not very helpful. In fact, they could even be considered enemies. Under such circumstances, they still had to go to meetings for it.

The situation was akin to them trying to outwit the other.

Charlotte was a little worried, but more than that, she was looking forward to it.

She knew that she was walking into danger, but that thrilled her.

The next day.

Charlotte and Shane arrived at the office together.

Sheryl was with Cole and the newly hired tutor. At noon, she also sent a message to them.

Charlotte took out her phone and watched the video sent by Sheryl. All of her exhaustion seemed to have vanished in an instant.

"Mr. Fuller, Ms. Emerson."

He pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Charlotte came to her senses and raised her head to look at the door. "What's wrong?"

"I found out that Jane Corporation has obtained shares of Emerson Corporation recently, so I can conclude that Rick is cooperating with Christopher," Peter said.

Rick was cooperating with Christopher.

Charlotte started to have a headache.

I see.

"In addition, we still haven't found any trace of Tiffany, but from her behavior, she has already disappointed Mr. Fuller, so she is very likely..." Peter did not continue.

"Alright," Charlotte replied.

Peter left.

For some reason, Charlotte's gaze turned to Shane. Was Tiffany's loss of control within his expectations?

Shane noticed that she was looking at him. He looked up at her and asked, "Hm?"

"You and Tiffany..."

"We'll talk about it later."

Fine then.

Since Shane said that, Charlotte definitely wouldn't ask any more questions.

When it was time to get off work, Charlotte took her documents and walked to the underground parking lot. When she came to her car, she had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She felt a chill on her back.

She shook her head and dispelled the ominous feeling. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. Shane had only agreed to meet in a minute.

Charlotte leaned against the car as she flipped through the documents.

In two days, she would go to the shipping partnership meeting. It would be the best time to help Shane regain his position then. She did not want Shane to be looked down on.

"Charlotte!"

The voice sounded a little familiar.

Charlotte turned around and looked toward the source of the sound suspiciously.

It wasn't easy for her to stay by Shane's side. If she could get rid of Charlotte, she would be able to replace Charlotte like she did her older sister.

She was just one step away.

If only Shane wasn't with Charlotte now.

She had clearly found out that Shane had been looking for a job recently, so he didn't have time to deal with Charlotte. How did he end up appearing by Charlotte's side?

Was her luck really that bad?

Soon.

The police and paramedics arrived at the scene.

Tiffany confessed to having hurt Shane with a knife, so the police took her directly to the police station.

Charlotte helped Shane into the ambulance and would follow him to the hospital in it.

"Miss, you'd better go to the police station and give your statement," the policeman reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the right state of mind to give a statement now. I want to confirm my...my friend's condition first before going. Is that alright?"

The policeman nodded. "Only good will come from you giving your statement. You can decide when you want to go on your own. I will report directly to the hospital for the investigation records."

"Okay, thank you." Charlotte watched the policeman leave.

At this time, Shane was already lying on the ambulance's stretcher.

Charlotte sat down beside him and found that his wound had been treated by the paramedics. His bleeding had stopped for the time being.

"Are you alright?"

"We're only friends?" Shane's focus was on something completely different from hers.

He had taken this knife for her, which meant that he did not care whether he was injured or not, much less how injured he would get.

But she actually said that they were only friends.

This made Shane unhappy.

"I..." Charlotte was at a loss for words.

She just did not know how to address him. She couldn't call him her husband, since they weren't married. She couldn't call him her fiance either, since they weren't engaged.

No matter what she said, it seemed that nothing was right.

That was why.

She had used the word "friend".
