Chapter 223


    Zoe promptly picked up the phone. "Lottie."


    "Why did I receive your resume?" Charlotte went straight to the point. "Did Shane make you do


    this?"


    Zoe kept quiet for a while and said, "I left NC three days ago. This is what happened.."


    The first thing Zoe asked Charlotte was whether she remembered when Charlotte took her ce to


    go on a business trip with Shane and Christopher while they were still working in NC.


    Charlotte remembered that of course. If it wasn''t for that incident, her rtionship with Christopher


    wouldn''t have improved.


    It was precisely that time.


    Zoe''s father''s remarried wife''s daughter had passed away. So, she had to go back to attend the


    funeral. It was simr to why she lost her job at NC this time. Her father went to NC and said that


    Zoe didn''t fit to work in such apany.


    Shane and Christopher didn''t hold back while defending her. But Zoe could already predict her


    father''s reaction if she insisted on staying in NC.


    "I know that I can report to the police, and there arews to protect me, but my father is now a


    madman. No matter how powerful the judge is, it makes no difference in front of him. After all, he is


    my father..." Zoe smiled bitterly.


    He had always been strong and resolute, but he was a fool when it came to family affairs.


    That was why.


    Zoe resigned.


    Shane begged her to stay, hoping that she wouldn''t give up all the effort she had made and her


    promising future because of a ridiculous person.


    Moreover, she was a spy on both Christopher and Shane''s side, so Christopher also didn''t want her


    to leave.


    But she loved NC and didn''t want NC to get involved in public gossip.


    "I saw your recruitment information just now and thought, I can help you out a little since it''s still not


    apany yet. At least, I won''t have too much time to overthink," Zoe exined.


    "That''s...fine too." For a moment, Charlotte didn''t know what to say.


    "Maybe fate brought us together," Zoe said with a smile.


    "I''ll hire you then. I''ll take down the recruitment post and start choosing a house as well as the


    company address tomorrow. I''m going to be very busy."


    "Alright."


    People said that things would be less exhausting if men and women work together.


    But Charlotte thought that working with Zoe was not exhausting as well.


    After working for an entire day, Charlotte was extremely tired. She cleaned up the rented house and


    went back to her room to sleep.


    She still had to get up early in the morning to study the trend of several leading businesses from a


    few industries. She also had to do some on-the- spot surveys. Then only she could decide which


    industry should herpany settle on. This was the mostplicated as well as the most crucial


    part in the early stage.

    Zoe returned to her own home and took out her phone to dial Shane''s number.


    Shane quickly picked it up. "How was it?"


    "Lottie has already moved into your house, and thepany address is also the building you


    chose," Zoe answered respectfully.


    "What task did Christopher assign you?" "He asked me to keep a close eye on Charlotte and don''t


    let the two of you have any contact. Although Lottie had already told Mr. Gibson that she would


    never give her shares to Mr. Gibson, Mr. Gibson had never given up."


    "Well, tell him that it won''t affect me. Just let him make some money."


    "Yes."


    "Get as much information about Emerson Corporation as possible. I''m going to start the acquisition


    n."


    "Got it."


    After the call, Zoe stared nkly at her phone.


    Charlotte was so lucky.


    She always thought that Mr. Fuller wouldn''t care about Charlotte anymore, but he still didn''t leave


    her alone when she was in a difficult situation.


    If only she could meet someone like this, even if it wasn''t for love, she would be satisfied too.


    The news of Charlotte''s resignation blew up in the trading industry.


    Soon, Rick had also announced the annulment of his marriage with Charlotte.


    The engagement happened as fast as lightning, and the speed of their annulment was beyond


    prediction as well.


    Cole ced some documents in front of Shane and summoned up the courage to ask, "Mr. Fuller, I


    really don''t understand what''s going on with Mr. Jane. He tried so hard to marry Miss Charlotte.


    How can he give up just like that?"


    "It''s because of me."


    "Ah?" Cole was stunned.


    Shane looked at the documents in front of him with a calm expression. His thin lips parted slightly


    as he said, "To deal with Rick, it''s useless for me to just be close to Charlotte. I want him to believe


    that everything appeared to be a coincidence, and it''s even because of what Charlotte had done


    that caused these coincidences."


    "Are you saying..."


    "The kidnapping case indeed has nothing to do with me, but everything that happened after the


    kidnapping case was within my expectations."


    Because Rick was hospitalized, he couldn''t stay with Charlotte all the time. That made Shane


    absolutely anxious and uneasy.


    The better Charlotte managed thepany, the more effort it meant that she had to put in for him.


    That worried Shane more. He thought that it was a form of pity.


    Under these circumstances, Charlotte repeatedly approached Shane, who Rick saw as a threat. If it


    was just Charlotte herself who was being close to Shane, there was still room to salvage the


    situation, but Sheryl was Rick''s boundary.


    "Moreover, Rick knew that Sheryl was my child and also knew that I knew about this. But Charlotte


    had no idea. So, she believes that the rtionship between her and me only needs to be the same


    as that of an ordinary rtionship."


    "You mean, because Charlotte didn''t care to avoid arousing suspicion in their rtionship, and that''s


    why Mr. Jane..."


    "That''s right."


    Cole was speechless.


    After a long while, he finally spoke, "You''ve done so much just to get Miss Charlotte back to your


    side? But why don''t you tell her directly?"


    "I want her to fall in love with me, of her own free will."


    Cole was silent.


    He finally understood.


    The reason Mr. Fuller divorced Ms. Emerson was to save face.


    Mr. Fuller forced Ms. Emerson to leave Rick also because he didn''t want to lose face.


    It was the same reason Mr. Fuller treated Ms.


    Emerson kindly.


    He only cared about his ego and dignity in every situation.


    Cole could understand Shane, but he couldn''t fullyprehend Shane.


    Shane never really cared about anything, so why would he care so much about his reputation in


    Charlotte''s impression?


    It was exactly because he cared about her that he had expectations for her.


    In a swift of time, it was already half a monthter.


    NC and Jane Corporation didn''t have much of a change.


    The only big news was the official establishment of Charlotte''spany.


    Thepany mainly focused on transportation and cold chain technology.


    Avery had also ended his coboration with Jane Corporation and directly partnered with Charlotte''s


    company.


    At that time, many people in the industry were optimistic about Charlotte. After all, she was


    supported by Avery.


    In the past half month, Charlotte didn''t contact


    Anne, and neither did Anne contact her. She didn''t dare to ask her and could only let their friendship


    die.


    It happened to be Children''s Day on the 1st of June.


    Shane ordered Cole to bring Sheryl back to Charlotte.


    When Sheryl saw that Charlotte''s house had changed, she ran to her excitedly and said, "Mommy,


    you don''t live with Uncle Rick anymore? Then why don''t you live with daddy? Daddy''s house is


    huge!"


    "I can''t live with him." Charlotte smiled bitterly and stroked her hair. "Sheryl, today is the 1st of June.


    Mom will take you out to y, okay?"


    "Can I suggest a small wish?" The little fe fluttered her eyes.


    "Except for letting mommy and daddy be together."


    Sheryl immediately became upset. She pouted her lips and said, "Daddy is very nice to me.


    Although godfather is kind to me too, daddy is daddy after all..."


    To divert her attention, Charlotte had no choice but to bring Sheryl out to y.


    The n was very sessful in the beginning. But while Sheryl was ying, she suddenly began


    to mor for a chance to see her daddy, and she said she wouldn''t give up until she saw him.


    Charlotte was forced to hand her phone to Sheryl so that she could contact Shane.


    As soon as Sheryl got the phone, she immediately turned around and dialed the number. After the


    call was answered, she even walked to one side and looked at Charlotte with vignce.


    What was going on?


    Her daughter still had to hide from her while she was calling a weird uncle?


    Sheryl moved closer to the speaker of the phone and whispered, "Daddy, I''ve sessfully carried


    out my n. Come here quickly."


    "You did a great job."


    "Then can you bring me a small cake when youe?"


    "Of course."


    Sheryl smiled happily, and her cheeks were a shade of rosy pink. "Daddy, as long as what you said


    is true, I will definitely help daddy!"


    Daddy said that her godfather, Rick, bullied mommy. He even said that Rick had kicked mommy out


    of his house. Sheryl didn''t believe it at first, but now it seemed to be true. Her godfather was truly


    horrible!
