Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"I am Mr. Gibson's colleague. My nis Charlotte Emerson. You can callLottie." Charlotte answered politely.

Christopher's mother smiled and nodded to the two of them. "My nis Agnes, but people callAg. Use whichever nyou prefer." Next, it was tfor Christopher, Zoe, and Agnes to catch up. It had nothing to do with Charlotte.

She didn't say much. Instead, she listened to one side.

Christopher's mother had a completely different character from him. It could be seen that she had been a straightforward and unrestrained person when she was younger.

From the conversation, Charlotte found out a few things- First, Christopher's father was Theodore Fuller. He and Shane were half-brothers.

Secondly, after Agnes got married, her husband supported her a lot. He even supported her decision to beca nun. Now, he delivered meals here every day. The two of them could be said to be very loving. Third, Agnes had thought very clearly about the issues of the past. It is God who gives and, therefore, God can take away. She said if you couldn't bear to look back on the past, then you shouldn't look back. From what she could tell, Christopher taking revenge on Shane had nothing to do with his mother.

She should not have meddled too much in the matter of NC Company anyway.

As Charlotte thought about it, her thoughts drifted to an unknown place in the distance.

Soon, the thad cfor dinner. Agnes's husband cto deliver her food, and the three people said goodbye to her.

They went to a restaurant next to the church. After Christopher ordered his meal, he didn't say a word more. Zoe looked at him and then looked at Charlotte. She coughed softly.

"Mr. Gibson, let's talk plainly. The most important reason why I cto see you this thas to do with NC Company." Charlotte looked at Christopher.

"With the way Shane treated you, you're still thinking about helping his company?" Charlotte was silent.

Christopher continued, "He is preparing for his wedding with Tiffany. Maybe in a short time, he will marry..." "I have 20% of the shares of NC Company. If Shane wants it, I will give it to him unconditionally." Christopher's pupils suddenly contracted.

Charlotte let out a bitter laugh and sighed. She looked at him seriously and said in a gentle tone, "Stop it. Don't go on like this. You won't win. If you tell Shane everything now, maybe you can still be friends." "I'm afraid I can't." "Mr. Gibson, you..." "At this point, I can't stop anymore. The only way through is forward. I'm like a warrior who has pledged to die for the cause. This is my life. Since Theodore has died, I cannot get closure for my hatred. I can only take revenge on his son." "But you won't win." Charlotte didn't understand.

20% of the shares was enough to determine the conclusion.

She could join the board of directors of NC Company and be equally matched with them. Or she could give the shares to Shane.

No matter which method she chose, Christopher would lose for sure.

"Lottie, you kept saying that you will give the shares to Shane, but why are you allowingto stand at this moment?" At that moment, Charlotte was speechless.

It was true.

If Shane really wanted to deal with Christopher, he would ask directly to take back the shares.

"He thought that I wouldn't take NC Company down with me. He also thinks that he can smoke out the people supportingand deal with them in one stroke." "He's absolutely confident that he's blessed by the gods, while I'm just one of his many stumbling blocks. He doesn't need your trump card. One day, when he wants to restructure NC Company and has to determine the risks, he will have one less thing to think about." "If I weren't doing everything above board now, I would expose the fact that you own shares. That would allowto compete with Shane on the slevel." "I'm only looking for a fair fight." A fair fight.

Christopher had lived an ordinary life. But what he wanted wasn't wealth. He was already a son of the Gibson Family. Although he wasn't well- treated, he still lived comfortably.

If he took over NC Company, the only superficial change would be that he would drive a 5 million dollar car rather than a 1 million dollar one.

However, the internal change would be his heart.

His heart was riddled with holes. He had to use the bones of those in NC Company to fill it.

"I have nothing to say." Charlotte stood up. "But I will use every method I can to stop you." "Lottie, Shane already has someone else. Why don't you let yourself go?" Christopher looked at her retreating back and felt both sad.

She turned around and said, "I'm not stopping you because of NC Company. I'm doing it for the Emerson Corporation." Christopher smiled gently. "If you want it, I can give it up immediately. After all, it's just a tool to me." A tool? "Was my mother's death also a tool in your eyes?" "That was just an accident." "Elaine didn't say that." "She is just a person who likes to show off to others. I don't have to risk my life for a chess piece." Since he had said so, she believed him.

Charlotte grabbed her things and left. Zoe suddenly fell into deep indecision. She knew that if even Charlotte would not stop Christopher, then Christopher would definitely not stop.

She often heard that the most beautiful story in the world was the salvation of those steeped in darkness by heroes of the light.

However.

Those who could be saved wouldn't wait for the heroes to show up. That was why they had becentrenched in darkness "You don't have to find anyone else to talkdown." Just as Zoe was thinking about how to save Christopher, the "dark villain", he spoke.

Zoe felt prickles run down her back for the first tin her life. She looked at him and forced a smile. "Why do you think it's me?" "It could only be you." "I don't quite understand. Although we are colleagues, we..." "Zoe, you like me, but I advise you not to waste your ton me." Zoe's grip tightened on her glass. She had never thought that her first crush, her first love, would end with such a sentence.

Don't waste time.

"If you think I will lose and you can't letgo, why don't you wait until Shane wins and visitin jail?" "I don't think that you will lose. I just think that, since you are friends, you don't have to..."

"Ms. Watson, you've always been so decisive and logical. Why are you bringing up friendship to in such bis provokesituation?" Christopher's smile grew colder and colder. "You're not Charlotte. If you go on, my words won't be so nice anymore." Zoe let go of the cup and clenched her fists. She bit her bloodless lip and her body couldn't stop trembling.

What did he want to say? It was all her dumb fault for sticking her nose into his business? But the truth was that she just couldn't leave him be.

Just like how Charlotte had brought out the recording, how could she bear to watch someone she deeply loved jump into the lion's den? But what if he insisted on jumping, or had already jumped? "I will accompany you," Zoe answered in an instant.

Her calm returned to her.

She smiled hollowly. "What happens to you is closely tied to me. From now on, I'll be on your side."

Christopher was very surprised by this answer. He smiled and touched his lips, but the chill in the bottom of ver his eyes was even more piercing. "Do you think that I will have feelings for you if you accompanyin this wild endeavor?"

Zoe shook her head and said, "I can't convince myself to sit and watch as you and Shane becenemies. So the only thing thing I can do is choose another way. If you want, I am willing to stay by Shane and be your spy." "I don't really trust you." "It doesn't matter. You will definitely finduseful. More times than you might think." That day.

Christopher saw the third great woman in his life.

The first person was Agnes, the second was Charlotte, and the third was Zoe.

It was a pity that, in his boring life, women were not that important. They were often his chess pieces.

"It's up to you. Now that the matter has cto this, there's no point inrejecting it." "Let's drink to seal the deal, partner." Zoe swallowed the drink in front of her and felt its bitterness in her heart.

To be a double agent was the best plan she could cup with to help both parties.

It was also the only way.

She had sacrificed herself for a brighter future.
