Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Chapter 192 Rick’s Forced Marriage



“I, I’ll think about it,” Charlotte muttered.

“I don’t have the time to wait any longer. Give me an exact time. Do you want to stay by my side or leave that dangerous man?”

“I… ”

Tears started to well up in her eyes.

Rick’s heart had softened, but he forced himself to be cruel and asked straightforwardly, “It’s not that you can’t let me go, you can’t let him go. Why? Do you want to be treated by him… like this?”

She shook her head. Of course, she didn’t.

“Well, then you deserve this don’t you?”

“…” Charlotte felt no need to explain this further.

“Can you make my heart ache even more?”

Bang-

Rick smashed the table beside her.

Charlotte curled up into a ball and hugged herself tightly.

There was no harm in marrying Rick.

He treated her so well and he liked Sheryl so much. If she married him, she could manage the Jane Corporation and be his handy partner.

He could go and manage the Jane Corporation overseas when he gets busy. She could help him hold the fort here and when the branches here became more stable, she would go manage other new areas.

There was nothing wrong.

In fact, it was a very good and perfect plan.

Rick didn’t care about her past. She would definitely rely on his tenderness in the future.

He was good on the inside out, she had no reason not to like him.

The facts were clear when she rationally thought of the pros and cons. However, she still couldn’t make up her mind.

Could it be she was the type that wants the best of both worlds? The more she couldn’t have something, the more she yearned for it. She held on tight to her back-up while loving another man.

It was true.

She admitted that she had no self-respect.

Charlotte whimpered as she covered herself under the blanket.

Perhaps before Shane sent Tiffany away, she could hold back her feelings. But now, she had no other way.

She didn’t know if marrying Rick was a choice or an escape.

Rick walked out of the room.

He watched Lottie curl up in pain through the glass.

He clenched his fists as his eyes turned red.

He didn’t want to make such a blunt and unpleasant statement. However, he thought Charlotte wouldn’t have any hesitation since she was raped by Shane.

Was he really that bad in comparison to Shane?

“Sir, here’s what happened in the past few days.”

Rick took over the documents and read through them silently. Once he was done, he asked, “Who’s the person going by this username, ‘Wild forest’?”

“According to the IP addresses of our investigation, it should be Zoe Watson.”

“Zoe Watson… can you make an appointment?”

“She tried to get in touch with us that night but we were on a flight so…” His assistant lowered his head.

From the information he obtained,

Charlotte wasn’t very close to Shane. Her actions could be considered as helping Shane out of desperation.

If it hadn’t been for the incident with Christopher, Charlotte wouldn’t have anything to do with Shane.

Obviously, Charlotte didn’t offer herself up to Shane.

Rick raised his hand to rub his eyebrows. “Did you find any information of them checking into a hotel?”

“Shane checked into a room alone but according to surveillance they rarely stayed in the same room. Maybe they didn’t want to interfere with each other’s business. However, after the night of the product launch, Shane left with Charlotte.”

“Why?”

“Uh, I’ve asked around. Some said that Shane looked quite upset. Also, Charlotte helped them persuade Rex to continue working together.”

Huh.

Rick suddenly smiled.

The assistant did not understand and asked in confusion, “Sir?”

“Charlotte wanted to help that b*stard resolve the issue with Rex but he thought she was protecting Christopher.” Rick clenched his fist and continued, “He’s just a proud, arrogant and selfish b*stard.”

“How did you figure that out?”

“I know Lottie but I know Shane even better.”

“So, this is all because Miss Charlotte helped someone out of kindness?” The assistant suddenly felt guilty.

He thought Charlotte knowingly had sexual relations with someone while on her period.

D*mn it.

He quickly apologised, “Sir, I only lost my temper on Miss Charlotte because you were getting scolded. I’ll apologise to her when she wakes up.”

“It’s fine. You work for me, it’s normal for you to have my best interest in mind. I’m not mad. Don’t worry.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Get in touch with Christopher, I want to work with him.”

“What?”

“I want Shane to disappear from this city.”

Rick’s voice was cold with no expression on his face.

This was what he looked like when he was angry.

Squeak, squeak-

“Don’t…”

Charlotte, who left the ward, walked out to hear this sentence.

Rick turned around, his heart ached at the sight of her weak and broken appearance.

Rick’s assistant immediately said, “Sir, I’ll contact Christopher and Zoe. It’s cold outside, you better talk to Miss Charlotte inside.”

“Okay.”

As he left, Rick pushed Charlotte into the room, then closed the door and drew the curtains.

He pinned her down on the bed without another word.

His lips and body were inches away from hers.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Charlotte struggled for a moment before giving up. She was too weak.

“Do you like this?” His voice was soft but his actions were different from the past.

Charlotte shook her head with a bitter smile.

She knew no words could explain herself clearly.

As long as he didn’t despise her, she was willing to do anything if this would make things easier for Rick.

Rick smiled. His arms were straight, even so, Charlotte wasn’t able to break free from him. If Shane really wanted her, she wouldn’t have been able to escape.

He got up and stood by the window.

“You don’t want me to hurt Shane, do you?”

“Yes.” She nodded.

“Give me a reason why.”

“If you were to deal with him, you’ll surely suffer a great loss… I, I don’t want to…”

“For me, or for Shane?”

“Of course it’s for you.”

Rick turned around and asked, “Why didn’t you tell Shane you were trying to save the deal between him and Rex, not Christopher?”

Charlotte’s was completely dumbfounded.

Rick was too smart.

She imagined he would have investigated this matter but she didn’t expect him to guess her thoughts based on the information he obtained.

“You are afraid that he will know of your feelings for him. You’re sure he will choose Tiffany due to the past. You protected him, because you knew Christopher was the son of Theodore Fuller, but Shane is unaware of that, am I right?”

“Yes…” she muttered.

“If you marry me, I can help you deal with Christopher together and restore Shane’s position in the company without hurting him. Of course, you can refuse but I will send you abroad immediately. Don’t worry, I will take good care of you and Sheryl. However, you would have no say in what I do to Shane.”

Charlotte had no choice.

Marrying Rick would solve all her problems in an instant.

“Let me think about it.”

But in the end, she still hesitated.

“You refuse to marry me because of the person you care and love the most, isn’t it? Charlotte Emerson, don’t you remember how much pain Shane Fuller has brought you? The pain I felt was even worse!”

“Rick, I’m sorry.”

“You’re sorry for me? You should be sorry for yourself.”

Charlotte’s face went pale as she bit her lips and said nothing. The moonlight on her face made her look even more fragile.

But Rick no longer felt any pity for her. His attitude was firm. “The Charlotte I liked has a mind of her own. She knew when to move forward and when to quit. She’s a courageous and intelligent woman, nota weak and timid girl who’s now trapped by love.”

“However, she will always be Charlotte. I’ve made up my mind to love her from the beginning to the end. I will give you your last chance because I still haven’t given up on you. But one day, I’ll give up and…”

“No one would care if you’re in pain or not.”
