Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

One minute passed.

Rex was very surprised. “Does Shane know about this?”

Charlotte smiled bitterly, “I wouldn’t have come here alone if I could say these words before him. I’m sorry for lying to you but we had no choice.”

“I have a question.”

“Please go ahead.”

“You didn’t even flinch when he kissed you in public. The hickeys on your neck were obviously from these few days. You say you are Mr. Jane’s fiancee but Mr. Fuller…” Rex shook his head. “You are not a simple woman.”

Charlotte stretched out her hand and gently touched her neck. She lowered her eyes and said, “Mr. Rex, I’ve never said this to anyone but I guess I can tell you.”

“Oh?”

“As long as he’s happy, I don’t mind being berated by people.” She suddenly looked up at Rex with determination. “As long as I have a way to help him, I’ll never stand by.”

“What’s the reason?”

“I… maybe I love him very much.”

That’s why.

She was sad after the divorce, she wanted to help him after returning to the country. She even slept with him after knowing he wanted to protect Tiffany for Heidi’s sake.

Rex laughed and shook his head. “If my daughter were still alive, I’m afraid she would be ten years older than you so you all are just like children to me. I don’t want to be involved in all these twists and turns. I just want to know where the ring is.”

Charlotte opened her bag and took out a small blue box.

Rex took out the ring from the box and nodded with satisfaction. “take this ring.”

“Huh?” She was stunned.

“I hope that you can take this ring and find your true love. If it’s Shane, I will give him an identical ring tailored for men. If you marry someone else, you can give Shane the ring and ask him to return it to me. How does that sound?”

How does that sound?

Charlotte and the others were all stunned.

This ring was worth more than 300, 000 dollars.

Although she could afford to buy it, Rex was being too generous by giving her the ring.

She took a deep breath and refused to keep the ring. She returned the box to Rex and sighed, “I will never be with Shane. He has someone he loves, I…”

“Someone he loves? Does he know how to love others?”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Rex’s voice was full of surprise.

Charlotte was speechless upon hearing that.

Rex laughed again as he put the ring back into the box and handed it to her. “Just think of it like a bet. I’m betting 300, 000 dollars that you won’t be together. If I won, you’ll have to return the ring to me. If I lose, I’ll pay you another 300, 000 dollars. It’s a sure win.”

“I…”

“By the way, I think Shane didn’t manage to tell you that for this true love series, you’ll have to work with a male star. So you’ll have to keep this ring.”

“What about the other ring…”

“I’ll take it with me. This is my agreement with Mr. Fuller.”

Charlotte could only sigh and agree to this winning bet.

He left the compartment and returned to the living room.

Rex immediately saw the chipped off teacup. “Mr. Fuller, you have a very good assistant.”

“Why do you say that?”

“It’s nothing. Let’s continue with the announcement.”

Shane already expected that Charlotte had straightened everything out with Rex when they hadn’t come out after one minute had passed.

He didn’t say anything but just nodded slightly and led the way for Rex.

Since the issue with the ring had passed, Rex openly discussed the truth at the opening event. He mentioned he admired Shane’s fast reaction at the moment and hoped the ring thief would not make the same mistakes again.

“My God, it was all an act?”

“Mr. Fuller was so serious about that kiss…”

“He was even smiling.”

“It’s such a pity that Mr. Fuller isn’t an actor.”

“No, I’ve always felt something was wrong,” one of the employees said. “It is said Mr. Rex doesn’t tolerate those who aren’t trustworthy. His wife’s affair had caused the death of his daughter which was why he hates betrayal the most.”

His words caused an uproar among the audience.

That’s right.

This was considered fraud, wasn’t it?

But Mr. Rex forgave Mr. Fuller?

It was all too unexpected.

No matter how the crowd speculated, the annual launching of the product ended perfectly.

Charlotte wanted to go home by herself, but Shane dragged her onto his car without another word.

She watched him drive down an alley and turned off the car lights.

Just as she was worried he was going to kill her, the car stopped at a cliff.

In the distance.

The city was dimly lit. Even though it was before dawn, the street lights still illuminated the roads under the dark sky.

Shane unbuckled his seatbelt and got off the car. Charlotte hesitated for a moment before following him.

“What did you say to Rex?”

His voice was cold.

Charlotte was silent.

The first words she said to Rex were, “Christopher is Theodore Fuller’s illegitimate child. He and Shane are not friends.”

Later, she explained how she knew of this.

But obviously,

she wasn’t going to tell this to Shane. As of her knowledge, the Shane she knew was either going to destroy Christopher or die trying.

“I didn’t say anything,” she said in a low voice.

“Did you sell out yourself?” He asked sarcastically.

“What do you think of me?”

“What? Didn’t you just sell yourself to Rick?”

“How dare you!”

Charlotte was so angry that she felt her head spin.

She grabbed Shane’s arm and stared at him. “Am I such a cheap woman in your heart? I clearly know you don’t care about me, why would I still trade my own body for your project?”

“You sold yourself for 70 million dollars?”

“Shane, are you heartless? Don’t you have a conscience?” Charlotte’s eyes turned red. “Or do you think that those few minutes were enough for Rex to sleep with me?”

“Who knows if you made a deal with him in private.”

“You… ”

Shane grabbed the hand on his arm with a cruel smile on his face. “Otherwise why would a man with such strong principles forgive Christopher and the whole company with just a few words?”

“I didn’t make a deal with him!”

“Speaking of Christopher, it seems that you are trying to help him, not me. If this project goes down the drain, Christopher would not be able to get away with the video on your hands.”

Charlotte felt so wronged and angry.

But she didn’t know how to refute it at all.

Shane’s heart sank when she said nothing.

As expected, she did it for someone else.

He suddenly burst into rage and pushed her on the car hood with his hands.

Charlotte let out a cry of surprise. The license plate scalded her calf, leaving a mark on her leg.

After driving for so long through the mountains on the outskirts of the city, the engine was burning hot.

It hurt so much.

She groaned softly and tried to bend down to touch her calf but she was quickly held down by Shane. He grabbed her calves and raised them up.

“Let go of me!” She screamed in shock.

What was this b*stard going to do to her?

Shane ignored her as he took off his belt and tied up her hands. Then, he pulled off his necktie to bound her hands with her neck.

This time, it was impossible for Charlotte to escape from him unless she suddenly grew wings.

The stars in the sky were shining brightly.

But the stars in her heart fell one by one.

Her warm tears were quickly dried by the blowing cold wind.

She cried as she hoped for someone to save her so she could explain everything to Shane.

She didn’t say those words for Rex’s or Christopher’s sake. It was all for Shane. She didn’t care about the 70 million dollars, but she was afraid he would lose that money because of her.

Why was she so shameless?

This had happened again and again yet she could never seem to remember how distrustful this man was toward her.
