Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Shane took the phone away from Charlotte and asked Sheryl to explain what happened again.

Shane turned on the loudspeaker on the call and handed back the phone to Charlotte. "Take this. Stay in contact with Sheryl. I'll go look for them." "Alright." Charlotte agreed.

"Mommy, daddy will definitely help us!" Sheryl suddenly stopped worrying.

Charlotte smiled bitterly.

Of course, she knew Shane would be able to solve the problem but asking Shane to solve Anne and Rick's problem...

Ugh! At the end of the day, she was still too weak. She couldn't even think of a solution to her problems.

Shane quickly found out Anne and Rick's location through the GPS system. He sent the location to Braden and Charlotte, then sent speople to search for them.

Charlotte tried to comfort Sheryl. She was about to rush over but Shane stopped her.

"It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you," Shane offered.

"You've already sent someone over..." Charlotte was trying to say this had nothing to do with Shane. She was already very grateful for his help. Why did he have to go personally? "Rick's shares are still with me. If the kidnapper wants him to hand over the Jane Corporation's shares, I'll have to be there." Wait a minute.

Charlotte looked at Shane in shock. "What did you say?" Shane looked at her thoughtfully. "Rick sacrificed everything for the sake of romance. That includes your engagement." At that moment, Charlotte felt so dizzy as if her world was turning.

The meaning behind Shane's words was clear, Rick had made sagreement with him to ensure the engagement ceremony would go on smoothly.

The price Rick paid was the shares he owned.

"How much of his shares did he give you?" Charlotte asked, her voice was trembling.

"All of them." She closed her eyes and succumbed to fate.

What a joke.

That's just how Rick was.

"Let's go. Anne is still waiting for you." "Shane... Can you return his shares to him?" Charlotte subconsciously grabbed onto his sleeve.

Shane turned around and looked at her trembling fingers. His eyes darkened and he asked sarcastically, "What's the price you're going to pay?" "Do you want to work withor sleep with me?" In an instant, Charlotte let go of his sleeve.

Shane sneered mockingly and said, "Rick has sacrificed everything for you but your everything is still in the hands of someone else. So, what's the point ofreturning the shares to him?" Reality.

It was all too real.

Charlotte didn't even have the tto feel sad before she fell into despair.

Rick had given her everything but she didn't even know how to face him now let alone repay him.

Charlotte sat in Shane's car silently for the entire journey.

In a warehouse.

Rick was beaten to the extent that the corner of his mouth was bleeding and his face was slightly swollen.

Anne was blindfolded and gagged up before him. She was trembling in horror and fear.

"Well done, Rick Jane! You transferred all your shares right after you received my threat. Do you think I'd run out of ideas just like that?" Bang! A man who looked out of his mind whipped him.

Rick let out a muffled groan. His arm had already been beaten to the point it was all wounded.

"If you don't tellwho's holding your shares by today, you can die along with your sister! Hahaha..." "Blake, you wouldn't have a clue where the shares are if you killed me." Rick looked at him with a sneer, his eyes were red and bloodied.

"It doesn't matter. I already have nothing to lose. At worst, I'll beat you to death and get sentenced to death. Hahahah, my life is worth nothing. If you died, it would be a real tragedy." He was a lunatic.

Rick had given up all hope by this time.

He had only told Sheryl he was coming here. She's just a child. No matter how smart she was, she would not be able to save him.

Moreover, even if he told Blake the truth, he still wouldn't be able to escape.

He had been too impulsive. He rushed over without a second thought when he heard his sister was kidnapped. He was too irrational.

After a few more beatings, Rick had lost the strength to speak. He didn't even react when a cold bucket of water was poured over him.

Blake grabbed his hair and laughed crazily. "Rick, you didn't expect this day to come, did you? Why didn't you run a background check on the Reau Family before destroying us? Mental illness runs in the family, hahahah..." Boom- A rustle cfrom somewhere.

Blake immediately becalert and took out a switchblade from his pocket.

Rick struggled to open his eyes as he looked towards the blinding lights.

He smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Blake didn't expect he would be found. He picked up the blade and rushed towards Rick.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Rick covered his abdomen as he fell to the ground with a grunt.

Blake was still not satisfied. He raised the blade again. This time, he aimed for his head. Unfortunately, he failed.

Shane had run to his side, kicked off the dagger in his hand and took control of his hands at the stime. Charlotte ran towards Rick and untied the rope on his body, "Rick, are you alright? Rick, you bled so much, you..." "I'm fine." Rick shook his head.

It was just a knife to the abdomen, not a fatal wound.

He struggled to point towards the opposite direction.

Charlotte looked in the direction he pointed at and saw Anne. She immediately ran over to untie her.

Anne's eyes were red. "Lottie, I'm sorry, I should have listened to you..." "It's alright, it's alright." Charlotte couldn't possibly blher right now.

Anne leaned into Charlotte's arms and sobbed quietly.

After Shane subdued Blade, he helped Rick up and said, "I've already called 911 before I came." Rick smiled and closed her eyes. "Mr. Fuller, you're always so reliable." "Charlotte already knew about the shares." "You, really don't want to oweanything?" Rick opened his eyes again.

"I was just testing her reaction." "It seems that her response is inclined towards me, isn't it?" "Yes."

Rick's smile deepened. He touched the wound on his abdomen gently and sighed as he looked at the blood on his hands, "Initially, Dwanted to give the Reau Family a second chance. I guess that won't be needed now. I'll need to recover for a period of time. Later, my assistant will give you the information. I'll leave the Reau Family in your hands." Shane nodded understandingly. "I'll return your shares the day I get rid of the Reau Family." "Do you insist on turning our friendship into a business exchange?" Rick was speechless towards Shane.

He couldn't understand.

It was just his shares.

Speople might think it was something very important but it didn't matter as long as they trusted each other.

He was willing to trust Shane.

Shane looked at Rick's wound and said, "Just because I helped you doesn't mean I'm giving up." "You..." Rick smiled frustratedly. "You just can't forget her?" "If it wasn't for Charlotte, we would have truly becfriends." Shane stopped speaking to Rick after he finished. Then, he brought him aside to wait for his wound to be treated.

Rick tried to probe him on with a few more words. But he stopped after noticing Shane wasn't responding.

Forget it.

It didn't matter.

On the other side, Charlotte had only remembered that Rick was seriously injured after speaking with Anne. She quickly let Braden take care of Anne With then rushed to Rick's side. The ground was covered in blood...

Charlotte's eyes turned red. "Rick, I'm sorry, we clate." "It's okay." Rick was leaning against Shane at the moment. He looked up weakly and asked, "But, who informed you? Was it Braden?" Charlotte shook her head. "It was Sheryl." Rick was stunned. "How did she know?" Charlotte explained to Rick the details of the phone call.

After she finished, Rick said in awe, "I was talking with Braden on the phone when my car was suddenly blocked off. My phone was also out of signal. I've already given up as I thought Braden wouldn't be able to figure out what happened. I didn't expect Sheryl to save me... It was good to have a daughter like her.
