Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 188

Shane must be the devil...

Charlotte leaned against the wall as she walked out with her legs crossed.

She didn't even dare to think of the time in that corner.

She felt so guilty and disgusted, she just wanted to vomit.

Shane didn't pay her attention. He strode away and continued to talk cheerfully with the businessmen on the spot.

Charlotte endured the pain in her lower abdomen and walked to the bathroom. She sat in a stall for a long time before going out to wash her face.

"Hey, aren't you Miss Charlotte?"

A woman spoke in a sarcastic, high-pitched tone.

Charlotte took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. She was too lazy to pay any attention to her.

Elaine quietly took out a small blue box from her bag. She walked over to Charlotte and pretended to be concerned. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Do you want me to get you a doctor?"

"I don't need your fake concern. Get out of my way."

"You really are stubborn. Alright, I'll leave you alone." Elaine glanced into her and walked into the bathroom with a smug smile on her face.

Just wait and enjoy the surprise that I've given you, Charlotte.

The high and mighty only heir of the Emerson Corporation?

Hmph.

It was nothing but a facade. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She was a defeated opponent.

Elaine's idea was very good.

Charlotte returned to the venue, then sat down in a corner.

Her head hurt as she didn't feel well so she sat down to rest.

She could vaguely smell his scent.

In an instant, Charlotte was half awake. She hurriedly stood up and walked aside but her legs gave way and she stumbled to the ground.

Shane put both of his hands into his pockets, he had no intention of helping her.

Charlotte sat on the ground, rubbing her sore ankle as she glared at him.

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Hmm? Asking me for help?"

She bit her lip and shook her head, tears rolled down her cheeks again.

He was bullying her.

It was normal for the poor to be bullied by capitalists.

She struggled to stand up and stumbled a few steps forward. "I can stand up by myself. I don't need you."

"Sure you can," he said flatly but she could hear the sarcasm in his words.

Shane grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the center of the venue, regardless of whether she could keep up with him.

Everyone's gaze fell on her.

Charlotte was so embarrassed she wanted to die.

However,

the launching of the product was delayed.

The women's ring of the true love series was lost.

Everyone was in a mess.

"That ring is worth 300,000 dollars!"

"Who is so evil, my God."

"Fortunately, today's event is private. If the media was present, the NC company would be all over the news."

The crowd was in a panic.

Shane frowned slightly. Was the ring from the true love series really lost?

That thing was not exactly valuable but the diamond on the ring belonged to Rex Adler's late daughter. They had invited him here to witness the change in the diamond.

NC wasn't really an expert in the field of luxury so he invited a well-known collector to promote the product's popularity.

"Why don't we search everyone's personal belongings?" Someone suddenly suggested.

The security inspected the guests at the event.

Although Charlotte was standing next to Shane, she was not exempted.

"Found it!"

An employee took out a small blue box from Lottie's bag and said.

Immediately, everyone stared and murmured around her.

This...

Charlotte was stunned. When did that thing appear in her bag?

She knew better than anyone that she didn't take it.

She subconsciously looked over at Shane, wanting to give him an explanation but he just stared at her coldly.

Charlotte was so hurt by his gaze, she didn't want to explain herself anymore.

Even he did not believe her.

She would be wasting her efforts if she said anything.

"I'm the one who took this ring."

Who knows the man next to her suddenly spoke.

Charlotte's body stiffened. She didn't even want to lift her head.

"Let me introduce her to everyone. This is my girlfriend. I wanted to propose to her so I stole the ring to give her a surprise."

To tell the truth...

This reason was too farfetched.

Shane should understand the whole process better than anyone.

Didn't he know there was an event launch later?

It would be fine for him to take the ring after the product launch.

At this time, Rex, who was sitting in the first row, stood up and applauded. "Mr. Fuller is a really romantic person. It's a pity that your girlfriend didn't see the ring before the launching of the product."

"She's indeed very slow." Shane nodded and said apologetically, "Rex, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. I think this is very romantic. For me, the meaning behind this ring is not only true love, but also eternity. It bears my love for my daughter." Rex was an emotional man. He strode towards Charlotte and asked eagerly, "Can I see this young lady wear the ring?"

"Of course."

Shane took the box with the ring and got down on one knee. Then, he held out Charlotte's hand and put the ring on her finger.

The audience cheered on while some people took pictures.

Charlotte couldn't figure out what was going on at all. She just stood there like a statue.

"True love should be given to the one true love." Shane stood up with a tender smile no one had ever seen.

"It really was Mr. Fuller who took it..." Someone mumbled.

"I think so. Look at the smile on Mr. Fuller's face. I've never seen him treat anyone so gently."

"That woman looks so familiar. Is she Tiffany?"

"It's obvious the president's wife wanted to keep her privacy. She's not even showing her face."

Elaine, who was standing amongst the crowd, had a vicious look on her face.

She did not think that her plan would backfire and cause Lottie to become the centre of attention.

How could she be so lucky!

Why would Shane risk his image and character to perform such a romantic gesture?

Elaine was so jealous, it was written all over her face.

Elaine glared at Charlotte's back and stomped away in her 12-inch high heels.

In the middle of the crowd.

Charlotte stared at Shane, who was on one knee, at a loss for words.

"This young lady is so happy she doesn't know how to respond." Rex laughed and patted her on the shoulder. "Young woman, don't worry, marriage is a part of life."

"I, I'm too touched..." she whispered.

Shane got up, put his hand behind her head and pulled her into an embrace. "Rex, I might need this ring for another two more days."

Rex shrugged. "That's fine. Just use this as your wedding ring. There are still other necklaces and rings in this product launch. True love should be given to those who have found true love."

"Thank you."

"This ring is nothing compared to our friendship." Rex laughed heartily.

Under the protection of Rex and Cole, Shane brought Charlotte away from the venue.

Back at the hotel room.

Charlotte took off the ring and handed it back to him. "I didn't take this, I don't know why it appeared in my bag, it..."

"Is this important? Think about how to act as my fiancee in front of Rex for the next few days."

"Act, act as your fiancee?" Charlotte was dumbfounded.

Why did she have to play his wife again?

"Rex is a senior and important customer. He is straightforward and absolutely hates to be deceived. It doesn't matter if you're my girlfriend or not, you have to be the owner of this ring." Shane turned around and looked at her blankly.

Charlotte didn't know what to say.

Shane sneered and said, "Maybe you can make it clear to Rex now and pay me 700 million for compensation."

"But I didn't take this ring..."

"Does it have anything to do with me? If I hadn't stepped in just now, you would've been brought away by the police. It is a 300,000 dollars ring! You would be jailed for life."

Charlotte was hopeless. Shane was right. She had been too careless. She deserved to be caught. What's more, Shane was willing to help her cover up the lie now...
