Baby, I Found for You an Awesome Daddy

Charlotte felt uneasy being stared at him. She stood up and tried to start a conversation with him. “Have you guys finished talking?”

“Yup.”

“Uh, then I’ll go in first.”

Shane didn’t respond.

Charlotte walked past him, into the ward.

Shane was too domineering over her. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down but her heart was still racing.

“Have you been chased by a wolf?” Rick smiled when he saw her out of breath.

“Pretty much. Maybe even scarier than a wolf.”

“Does Shane know how ruthless he is in your heart?”

“He’s not a ruthless person. He’s… In short, he’s scary.”

Rick smiled.

Of course, he knew that Shane was not ruthless in her heart. On the contrary, she probably thought very highly of him.

She once said that Shane was a god.

For the few days Rick was in the hospital, Charlotte had been taking care of him.

Occasionally, he would hold a video conference.

Before Blake was arrested and sent for questioning, he released news that was damaging to the Jane Corporation. Furthermore, with Rick heavily injured, he couldn’t show up and give an explanation. The whole situation sent people into a panic fit.

Charlotte was basically running between the company, the hospital and the Airline Union every day. She even asked Anne to pick up and drop off Sheryl at the kindergarten.

After a few days, she felt so tired she could fall asleep at any time.

On this day, Charlotte was dealing with some follow-up problems of a new project at the company. There had been a major error during the negotiation so she had to deal with it personally.

It didn’t matter if she was in the Jane Corporation or the NC Company, she always didn’t see eye-to-eye with the negotiating team.

“Miss Charlotte, we’re in trouble!”

Rick’s assistant suddenly barged into her office.

Charlotte was startled. She put down the documents and looked at him. “What’s wrong?”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s Blake Reau. He was released on bail and then somehow he found out that the young master’s shares were no longer in his hands. He has told the media about this…”

“What!?”

“Now the stock price has dropped drastically. My phone is blowing up. going to blow up, so you want to find a way.”

Charlotte muttered, “I’ll go to the hospital first and discuss this with Rick.”

“By this time, the hospital must be crowded by the news media.”

“Then…” Charlotte was dumbfounded.

Should she ask Shane to transfer the shares back?

She didn’t even know the details of the agreement between the two people. Based on what Shane said before, Rick gave his shares to Shane because he wanted to marry her…

What right does she have to ask back for the shares?

However, Rick was now seriously injured and she only had 20% of the Jane Corporation’s shares together with Anne. She needed 51% of shares to have a say in any company affairs.

“Help me contact Mr. Fuller of the NC Company.”

In the end, she decided to contact Shane reluctantly.

The assistant froze before lowering his head. “Ms. Emerson, the reason young master handed over the shares to Mr. Fuller was to not…”

Damn it.

The young master had asked him not to speak of this matter.

Charlotte wasn’t aware that Shane already knew Sheryl was his daughter.

The assistant took a deep breath and continued, “To not appear at the wedding. Young master would be upset if he knew you went to see him.”

“Do you have a better idea?” Charlotte was surprisingly calm.

“I… ”

“I just need to persuade Shane to come with me before the media and tell them Braden is the major shareholder at the NC Company, then since Anne and Braden are now engaged, Rick transferred all his shares under Shane temporarily.”

Using marriage as an explanation for the shares transfer?

The assistant’s eyes lit up. “Ms. Emerson, this may actually work.”

The idea was indeed feasible.

But would Shane agreed to do it?

Charlotte clenched her fists tightly. Her eyes were bright with determination as she said, “Contact Mr. Fuller.”

The assistant nodded politely. “Yes, I’ll call…”

Before the assistant could finish his words, Charlotte’s cell phone rang. She was shocked when she saw the caller ID.

It was Shane…

“Mr. Fuller.” She answered the phone.

“I saw the news.”

“Can I trouble you with something?”

Shane didn’t expect her to have a plan. His lips curved upwards. “Okay, but what can I do for you?”

She was a little more quick-minded than he thought.

He had thought that she would need to rely on him to come up with a solution.

Charlotte tightened her grip on her phone. Her lips trembled slightly as she asked, “What do you want?”

“Sheryl.”

“No! She’s my daughter!” Charlotte raised her voice. Her other hand gripped tightly on the table’s edge.

“Rick would only be discharged from the hospital in half a month. You wouldn’t have time to take care of her in the meantime anyway.”

Charlotte tried her best to keep her tone calm. “So?”

“Leave Sheryl to me for half a month.”

“… ”

Charlotte was speechless.

Shane didn’t say anything.

After a few moments, Charlotte surrendered herself to fate and sighed, “Why?”

“She is also my daughter.”

“She’s not!” Charlotte denied.

“She thinks that I am.”

Charlotte bit on her lips. Soon, a mark appeared on her lower lip and some blood streaked down the corner of her mouth.

The assistant was stunned. “Ms. Emerson, you’re bleeding…”

Charlotte waved her hand and said, “It’s fine. Arrange a press conference with the media. I will be attending it with Shane.”

“Okay.”

The assistant left.

Charlotte calmed herself down and told Shane about her plan.

Shane was listening but his eyes were fixed on the high-rise buildings in the distance. His fingers were tapping rhythmically on the table.

Charlotte’s strategy was good. At the very least, it was a perfect diversion for the situation without exposing her personal connection with Rick.

Besides, it was time to make Anne and Braden’s relationship public.

“Sure.” Shane finally answered.

“I’ve already asked Rick’s assistant to arrange a press conference. I’ll send you the address later.”

“Alright.”

The call was over.

Charlotte let out a sigh of relief but she felt a twinge of sadness in her heart.

After all, Sheryl was his child. Shane spending so much time with Sheryl…

She couldn’t help but worry.

…

On the top floor of the NC Company, inside the vice president’s office, Christopher leaned leisurely against his chair as he enjoyed his afternoon tea.

“Why don’t you deal with the Jane Corporation? Now is the perfect time to do so.” Elaine slammed a stack of documents on his table, trying to hold in her anger. “We have a chance to…”

“Do you know who currently holds his shares?”

“Who cares? At least we can beat him now.”

Christopher looked at Elaine as if she was an idiot. “Do you think it’s that easy to suppress someone?”

Elaine was annoyed. “Isn’t it?”

“There are three ways to do this. The first is through public opinion. I bet the Jane Corporation would be able to come up with a solution in less than an hour. Secondly is the economy. Their current asset is around a billion dollars. Even if we try to suppress them they would only lose a small part of it but we would be widely exposed. Thirdly is the cargo. Now that the Jane Corporation is working with Avery Hart, transportation is the least of his worries.” Christopher’s smile was warm but his eyes were cold. “Now tell me, how are we supposed to suppress them?”

Elaine never understood how any of these worked. She knew how to play some tricks behind people’s back but she’s clueless when she had to do it aboveboard…

Her face turned pale. “Are we going to let go of such a good opportunity?”

“I’m afraid the one you want to deal with isn’t Rick, but Charlotte, right?” Christopher pointed out her true motive in a short sentence.

“Right now, Charlotte still has Rick to back her up while she’s still tangled up with Shane. Once she has the chance to enter the Emerson Corporation and take it away from me, your plans will be ruined too!”

Christopher put down his cup and gracefully picked up a white handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth. “I’ve warned you not to go after Charlotte.”

“Even you!” Elaine asked frustratingly, “What’s good about her?”

What’s so good about her?

Christopher couldn’t help but think of that lollipop.

“You are not as good as her.”
