Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

“I’m sorry, did my father steal your woman?” Charlotte retorted with a smile.

All of a sudden, there was a dead silence.

No one had expected that Charlotte would talk back. Not even Avery and Shane.

They all felt that in the face of such an unreasonable and disgusting man, the rational response was to ignore him and let it be.

“Are you provoking me?” Mr. Kent slammed his hand on the table. “You’re younger than me, how dare you talk to me like that?”

“I’m sorry but I’ve never seen an elder who is as shameless as you. It’s bad enough that you take advantage of your own seniority, your breath even stinks like rotten eggs.”

Avery couldn’t help but laugh.

Mr. Kent pointed at Charlotte and said, “I have to teach you a good lesson today?”

Charlotte had never been afraid of anything since young. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a cold smile. It was as if he could do whatever he wanted but she would not be intimidated.

As the president, Ashley felt that it was not appropriate for them to do this but he also did not like Avery.

Who in the world would like Avery?

Thus, he let Mr. Kent do whatever he wanted with Charlotte.

Just as Charlotte prepared herself to face Mr. Kent, she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

Charlotte felt as if the whole world was spinning. In an instant, she could only breathe in the scent around her.

She froze for a moment before raising her head subconsciously.

Shane had appeared behind her at some point.

He stretched out his hand to cover her eyes. As she was about to struggle away, she heard a muffled groan from Mr. Kent. She stopped moving.

Then she heard Shane’s cold voice next to her.

“How dare you bully my people?”

Charlotte’s body stiffened.

Ashley immediately stood up with a smile when he realized the situation had got out of control. “Mr. Fuller, I think there’s been a misunderstanding. Mr. Kent didn’t know Miss Charlotte is with you.”

“You may not know she is on my team, but don’t you know my company is working with Avery?”

“This…” Ashley quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

Who would have thought that Shane would speak up for Avery?

Shane had always been known as a cold and apathetic person.

At this time, Elaine stood up to take charge of the situation. She wanted to play nice. “Mr. Fuller, there’s no need to make the situation worse because of a woman. Why don’t we sit down and talk it through? Besides, Mr. Kent has already suffered the consequences of your anger. What do you think?”

“Christopher, take care of your b*tch.”

Shane didn’t even bother to give Elaine any attention at all.

Elaine’s face turned dark in an instant.

Christopher smiled lightly and stood up. He gently grabbed Elaine’s arm and pulled her back then forced her to sit back down. “Sorry, Mr. Fuller. Miss Elaine is a little slow-witted.”

“Yes, yes, yes, our people are too ignorant. Mr. Fuller, please forgive them.”

The whole matter should have ended by then.

However, Shane looked down at the woman in his arms and asked gently, “Are you happy with the result?”

Charlotte shook her head in a daze.

“Then let’s go.”

Shane and Charlotte left together.

The people who were left at the table stared at each other.

This news quickly traveled around.

Soon, the news reached Rick’s ears.

Rick put down the document on the desk and said with a straight face, “I see.”

“Young Master, our company has a complete transportation system. There’s no need to attend this sort of meeting at all. Can you inform Miss Charlotte to not…” The assistant suggested.

“The NC Company also has a complete transport system. Why did he join the Airline Union?”

“Is it… for Miss Charlotte?”

Rick sneered. “You’ve worked for me so many years, do you only care for gossip?”

“Sorry, sir!” The assistant immediately apologized.

“On the surface, the Airline Union may seem like a group of weaklings coming together. In reality, it’s a group of strong competitors teaming up. It’s not easy to get in. Shane must have sacrificed something unexpected if he had the guts to leave the table with Lottie alone.”

“Then… ”

“He wants to take over the Airline Union then takes control of Christopher’s networks and Ashley’s funds.”

The assistant came to a realization. “That’s why he needs help.”

“That’s right. He needs Avery and Charlotte’s support so I should say the Jane Corporation picked up some benefits from this too.”

The assistant sighed a breath of relief.

He still hadn’t learnt anything after working for Rick all these years. In fact, he was even blinded by personal feelings.

Rick looked at the title of the document again. The words “Charlotte Emerson” felt like a knife stabbing him in the heart.

He became more and more insecure.

At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door to inform Rick of Sheryl’s arrival.

Rick got up and tidied his clothes. “I’ll leave the company to you for the time being. Call me if you need anything. I’m taking Sheryl to the amusement park.”

“Yes, Sir.”

The assistant watched him leave.

Rick slowly disappeared from his sight.

He touched the corner of his mouth and sighed.

He didn’t know if his master was too calm or that he was already used to the heartache.

His reaction was too unusual.

Shane had taken Charlotte away in front of everyone. Mr. Jane had not even been married to Charlotte for more than a month.

Compared to the deceit Mr. Jane was worried about, he was more worried about his personal feelings.

…

At the pavilion by the lake.

Charlotte stood beside the pavilion, enjoying the rain and wind on her face.

Her hair was already half wet.

Shane took off his suit and put it on her but he didn’t stop what she was doing.

After a while, Charlotte sneezed loudly.

Only then did she turn around and sat down in the pavilion.

Shane followed her into the pavilion.

“Thank you.” Charlotte clung on tight to his suit. She was really cold at the moment.

“You knew it was cold, yet you still went in the rain?”

“I wasn’t in a good mood. Don’t you feel the rain will help freshen you up?”

“You’re crazy.”

Charlotte snorted and looked towards the lake with her hands behind her head. “Didn’t you bring me here to relax?”

Shane looked at her as he pursed his lips. He swallowed hard, making his Adam’s apple bob.

Her wet hair hung over her shoulders.

Her empty eyes stared off into the distance.

From his point of view, she looked perfect.

“I didn’t ask you to go under the rain.”

“You didn’t stop me either.”

“Do I have any reason or right to stop you?”

Charlotte was caught off guard by his words.

Only then did Shane look away. His jaw tightened and he said weakly, “Rick has sacrificed a lot for you. Since the both of you are now engaged, I won’t cross the line. You can relax.”

“Thank you,” she whispered.

Thank you?

Shane didn’t look at her.

He didn’t know when the rain would stop.

Charlotte looked at the ripples on the lake, her heart was oddly frustrated. She thought it was because of Shane but she had kept her distance from him and their conversation had remained mostly indifferent…

Suddenly.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Charlotte came back to her senses and answered the phone. “Hello?”

“Mommy…” It was Sheryl’s voice. She was sobbing.

Charlotte’s heart suddenly sank. “Baby, don’t cry. What happened? Tell me slowly, okay?”

Sheryl was out of breath and cried, “Daddy Rick was playing with me, then Aunt Anne was suddenly kidnapped. Daddy Rick went to save her but Uncle Braden said he couldn’t get in touch with him…”

‘What should I do?’

Charlotte immediately went into a state of utter panic.

Firstly, she wasn’t a hacker. Secondly, she didn’t know who kidnapped Anne. Thirdly, even Rick can’t handle the situation, what can she do?

Shane noticed that Charlotte was feeling anxious. He walked to her side and asked, “What’s the matter?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Daddy!”

Sheryl shouted at the top of her voice.

Everything would be fine with her super daddy here!
