Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 88

"Do you have anything else to ask?"

"What else do you want me to ask?" Christopher wasn't at all afraid of Shane, who was the most powerful man in River City. He suddenly laughed in a low voice. "Shane, we brothers should get together sometime."

"Alright."

Christopher stood up gracefully after he got his answer. He walked towards the door, then stopped without turning around.

"I don't like it when people speculate about me and I won't speculate about others as well."

With that, he closed the door and left Shane in silence. With the closing of the door, the sound came to an abrupt end.

Shane looked out the window coldly with his hand in his pocket. He looked like a king overseeing his country.

At this moment, in the Emerson family.

Charlotte brought her suitcase down from the taxi. She sneered when she saw the villa's tightly shut doors.

She didn't care how hard the future would be, she was willing to do whatever it takes to get what she wanted.

"Who are you looking for?"

At the front door, the butler glanced at her in confusion. There was a trace of annoyance in his eyes as he yawned. He clearly had no intention to open the door.

"Elaine Emerson."

"Madam is taking a nap now. You can wait outside for a while."

The butler couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Charlotte's plain clothes. "The Emerson family is not a place for the homeless anyways," he muttered under his breath.

The coldness in Charlotte's eyes stunned the butler for a second.

"I'm at the door."

Charlotte picked up her phone and dialled a number as she looked at the butler's adamant attitude.

She didn't expect the landline was still the same after so many years...

The corner of Charlotte's mouth curled up in a bitter smile. This string of numbers was probably the only thing she's familiar with within this villa.

"Lottie! Come in quickly. Didn't Mr. Fuller send

you here?"

Elaine slowly descended from the flight of stairs in the living room.

Charlotte clutched her luggage tightly with patience. Her hatred for the woman was written all over her face.

"Shane has a job. Besides, I'm not a woman who hinders a man from success, am I?"

Charlotte suddenly became intrigued and addressed Shane intimately. Her mood turned for the better when she saw Elaine's powdered face warped up.

"Open the door."

"Lottie, your father is waiting for you at home.

Come in quickly."

Charlotte must admit it was impressive how fast this woman was able to change her character all the time. It was almost miraculous.

"You're finally here. Since you're back, you'd better behave yourself."

Timothy's voice sounded a little short of breath.

"I'm back because not back because you're threatening me. Timothy, I'm going to work in the Emerson Corporation."

Charlotte suddenly raised her head. The unfamiliar look in her eyes made him swallow back his insults.

"Timothy, Lottie's just concern for you. Now... calm down. You have to look out for your health."

Elaine put her hand on Timothy's heaving chest and made a weak attempt to calm him down.

She would not allow this sick man or anyone else to ruin her plans.

"Timothy, Charlotte's mom did leave her 10% of the company's shares, so she's completely eligible to enter the company."

"Cough! Cough!"

Timothy pointed at Charlotte and said breathlessly, "Since you've made up your mind, cough, you'll have to start from the bottom."

"Mr..."

Cole knocked on the door but he stopped instantly. He stared at the scene before him with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes to make sure that it wasn't a dream.

If he wasn't mistaken, that cake was bought by himself.

He remembered very clearly that his dear president hated desserts the most!

Who could explain to him the events that happened before his very eyes?

"What's the matter?"

Shane didn't even raise his head.

"Mr. Fuller, the meeting is starting in three minutes,"

Cole answered weakly. He noticed the little girl in Shane's arms glancing at him oddly. "Mr. Fuller, why don't you let me look after little Miss. You can go attend the meeting." Cole offered without a second thought.

"No, I'll take her with me."

Shane didn't notice Cole was so shocked, his jaw almost dropped. He raised his eyebrows and continued with a menacing look in his eyes, "Is there a problem?"

"N...no."

He wouldn't dare to have a problem.

"Daddy, what is a meeting? Can I really go?"

Sheryl looked at him in confusion. Before Shane answered, she continued, "Is it like the parental meeting Mr. Tall gave me?"

"Who is that?"

Shane suddenly raised his eyebrows. According to his investigation, Charlotte didn't have any brothers or cousins.

Sheryl lowered her head as she suddenly had a gloomy feeling. "Daddy, are you jealous? Mommy is yours now. You don't have to be afraid," she said softly.

Shane's lips twitched a few times as he stared at this mischievous kid. She was simply a mini version of Charlotte.
