"Ah, Ms. Emerson!" One of them noticed Charlotte.

"Ms. Emerson, we're not here to gossip. It's just that we're a little tired from working..." Another person was trying to explain.

The first person had been in the company for a long time. He knew that it was better to shut up than to explain right then. He quickly pulled the second person back and did not allow her to keep speaking. Charlotte patted both of their shoulders. "Don't be nervous. Letask you a question. Who do you think has the greatest benefit in this matter?" The biggest benefit? Both of them were stunned.

She was actually gossiping with the two of them. The bespectacled woman who hadn't spoken just now raised her hand. Charlotte nodded at her, indicating for her to speak.

"I thought it was Rick, but after Mielle died, everyone would suspect him. Even if he hates Mielle, he should have been more discreet," the woman with glasses said.

"That's right. And then?" "So I think that the Emerson Corporation, NC Company, and Prospera, who have all been expanding abroad recently, all could have been the culprit, but I still feel that there was a personal grudge involved since she was killed outright." NC Company was expanding abroad? Charlotte froze for a moment. "You're saying that NC Company is expanding abroad?" The woman pushed her glasses further up her nose and nodded. "Yes, their funds are being transferred abroad, and NC Company and the Emerson Corporation have always had close interactions. The two companies are almost adjacent." "Which department do you belong to?" "Well, Ms. Emerson, I'm from the design department, but a friend of mine works at NC Company." "Go find Peter and tell him about this matter. After that, you can have the next two days off on paid leave." Charlotte turned to the other two. "You guys continue your break. I've said before that as long as the company's bottom line is the top priority, you're free to do whatever you want. There's no need to be so nervous when it comes to chatting." After she said that, Charlotte turned around and left the pantry.

A long tafter Charlotte left, the three of them cto their senses, as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"Ms. Emerson doesn't seem to be mad at us." "Hey, Rene, why did Ms. Emerson ask you to find Mr. Brown?" The woman in glasses shook her head and said, "All I know is that Ms. Emerson treats us very well." "You're right. I thought she would definitely criticize us this time. I've heard that Ms. Emerson and the Jane Corporation's Mr. Jane are..." "Hey, stop talking nonsense. Let's go back to work." The other fled from Rene's side like they were running from the plague.

She knew that it was not that they didn't want to gossip, but they were afraid that she would pass the gossip on to Ms. Emerson.

The human heart was unpredictable, and no one knew who would turn out to be mean-spirited.

Charlotte originally thought that, at the very least, she would be able to obtain snews tomorrow.

But she didn't expect that Peter would give her a file that afternoon.

NC Company was indeed transferring assets abroad. It was not Christopher himself only, but the whole of NC Company. According to the information obtained by Peter, this news was known by very few people in the country. Rene knew about it because her friend at NC Company held a high position.

It was also her friend who had recommended her to cto this company for a job.

Charlotte immediately confirmed with Shane that this friend of Rene's was indeed Shane's informant, but he was in a very weak position and was not very important. To ask him to resign would not be fair to him, so Shane did not make any moves at all. He still left him in NC Company.

"Are Christopher and Elaine and Rick competing with each other?" Charlotte muttered to herself as she looked at the documents.

"Good news." Shane's voice cfrom the earphones.

"Ah, you haven't hung up yet." "I'm fine, thank you." There was a hint of impatience in his words.

Charlotte scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and said, "No, I mean, I thought you ended the call..." Shane didn't answer. After a while, Charlotte heard voices from over the phone.

Should she hang up the phone? Charlotte scratched her eyebrows. She was too embarrassed to interrupt Shane, but she also felt that it was rude to eavesdrop on him, even though she couldn't understand a word that he was saying to the others.

"If you have any questions, just ask me. I will answer them when I am free," Shane said.

"Are you in a meeting?" "Yes, but it doesn't matter." Charlotte was moved. She gripped her phone and lowered her head. "I'll try my best not to trouble you." This time, Shane didn't answer immediately. After he spoke to the other party for a long time, he just said a few words...

"I don't mind being troubled by you." At first, Charlotte was reading documents very seriously, but when heard this, her ears immediately turned red.

She finished her work in silence. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Shane's voice sounded again, "Peter toldthat Rick went to the office.

What's the matter?" Charlotte cback to her senses, "It's like this..." The matter was simple and not complicated.

Shane had been silent for a long tafter listening to this. Charlotte was still very nervous, because she had promised Rick that she would tell Shane about it. If doing so made Shane unhappy... "Poor thing." Unexpectedly, Shane said those two words.

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. "Um, do you mean Rick?" "Yep." There was a rustling sound from Shane's side. It sounded like he was flipping through a file. "Mielle looked down on him. She only had a good relationship with him because she wanted to find the spy. However, Rick was always very kind to her." "Why did she look down on him? Isn't Rick's prestige in the Jane Corporation very high?" Charlotte felt that it was very strange.

"Rick is different from me. He relied on my father to get his position." In an instant, Charlotte understood.

In Mielle's opinion, Rick got the position only because his father preferred boys over girls. So she looked down on Rick too, but Rick didn't think that way. Or, even if he knew that Mielle looked down on him, he was willing to support her because of how outstanding she is and because she's younger than him.

In other words, between Mielle and Rick, only Mielle would take the initiative to kill Rick, not the other way around. Rick loved Mielle from the bottom of his heart.

"Shane, do you know where Anne and Braden are?" Charlotte felt that her best friend would definitely know about the Jane family's private matters.

But it had been a long tsince she had heard anything from them.

"They're traveling. Don't disturb them. If they don't approach you, don't ask them." "Oh, fine." Again, there was silence.

Charlotte was flipping through the documents when her fingers paused suddenly. "Christopher has the Jane Corporation's shares..." "What's that?"

"12% of the Jane Corporation's shares. How does he have so much?" Charlotte quickly flipped through the documents, Just now, she did not look at the section related to Christopher in Peter's investigation. She thought that she and Shane knew enough about what would be in the report. She never expected that there would be fresher news...

Charlotte had a bad feeling. Could it be that the matter with Mielle had something to do with Christopher? "I'll tell you in person when I get back." "Alright." Charlotte tidied up the documents and put them into the drawer.

According to Shane, he would be back in a few hours.

When she thought of this.

Charlotte suddenly cto her senses. "Shane, the matter that you're investigating abroad, does it have to do with NC Company and the Jane Corporation moving abroad?" "More or less. The main thing has to do with the Stevens family and Joe Hills." "Then..." She seemed to have nothing to handle.

Charlotte thought for a moment and suggested, "Then I'll hang up now?" "There's no need." "But, I have nothing else to say to you." There was a long silence on Shane's end. Then, he said, "Don't hang up either way."

Charlotte had just wanted to ask him why when a very noisy noise cfrom his end. It was as if he hadm pushed open the door from a quiet coffee shop and then walked into the street. There were trees lining the street. And a bustling crowd had gathered under the trees. At that moment, Charlotte suddenly knew why Shane didn't want to hang up the phone.

She didn't want to hang up, either.

Although they were just small om earphones, she kept feeling like, listening to all this was like being right next to Shane. The distance between them was drawn into almost non-existence. Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
