Chapter 241
Rick gave evidence.
Upon hearing this news, Charlotte was shocked. At that time, Kendall's appearance at the crime scene was a foregone conclusion. Just like that, Rick was actually able to bring out all sorts of data to prove that Kendall was by his side at that time and not at the crime scene, to prove that Kendall did not kidnap Sheryl.
Because there was new evidence submitted, the case had to be retried. Kendall was released on parole.
Charlotte, who was resting at Shane's villa, kept receiving various threatening emails. No matter how strong her resolve was, she would not be able to withstand such verbal attacks for so long.
Charlotte showed self-harm behavior.
On the day he got the news, Shane left the people in the conference room behind and went straight home.
Her self- harm was caused by too much stress. Charlotte used a box knife to cut a few stripes on her finger, but she was far from damaging her muscles or arteries.
Charlotte was lying on the bed, her listless eyes staring at the ceiling. She was like a puppet without a soul.
Shane looked at her and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He tilted his head and asked, "How is she?"
Cole couldn't help but shake his head. "Miss Charlotte has been under too much psychological pressure recently. The doctor suggested that we go out more often and be in the nature. It is no longer suitable for her to stay in River City, but..."
There were so many things that Charlotte and Shane still needed to do in River City. How could they just leave without a second thought?
That was without mentioning the other stuff.
Charlotte had helped the fishpeople back then, which meant she had a lot of public benefit activities that required her to raise fund at any time. She couldn't leave the city for too long.
"How much more time will it take to transfer the shares?"
"Today is the day."
"After the transfer, you must go to NC Company to announce that I have transferred all my shares to Christopher Gibson and forfeit my authority."
Cole was not surprised at all. He nodded seriously. "I see. How are you going to deal with Miss Charlotte?"
Shane looked at her lying in the bed, and the sadness showing in his creased forehead deepened. "Settle all her things and pass them to me. Take care of them today. I want to take her abroad."
"Yes, sir."
Two hours after Kendall was released, Shane suddenly announced that he would hand all his shares over to Christopher.
Since it was Cole who had handled this matter, no one believed the news even though the public had received this news.
But soon, Shane held a press conference.
"I'm going to withdraw from the board of directors of NC Company and hand over all my shares to Christopher Gibson."
Shane only said one sentence throughout the whole process. He did not give the reporters any chance to ask questions, and did not prepare any VCR.
With this simple sentence, the whole of River City was instantly shocked.
Countless companies extended their olive branches to Shane.
No one thought that Shane had lost in his fight against Christopher. Everyone thought that Shane had only finished playing. Not only was his reputation not affected, but more people wanted to draw him over to their side and let him join their camps.
Shane Fuller.
The name had become a legend.
No one could contact him.
Charlotte was still lying on her bed. Even when Zoe was talking to her about Shane, she couldn't hear a single word. She only heard a voice talking.
She kept muttering to herself, "What about Sheryl?" She had fallen into her own world and could not extricate herself from it.
It was night.
Shane went home.
Zoe reported Charlotte's situation to him.
"You must be tired. Take a break. You can take some time off." Shane brought out a check and said, "Have a good rest."
"This..." Zoe felt guilty.
"Take it." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"Mr. Fuller, I understand your kindness, but this is too much money."
"Go buy a house. You can pay the mortgage using the funds here. If you find a place you like, go straight to Cole and he will settle the formalities
for you."
Zoe was instantly moved. She bowed low and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Fuller." "You should thank the fact that you took good care of her." Shane walked past her and went upstairs.
Indeed.
Shane was so kind to her and repaid her loyalty mainly because of Charlotte.
Zoe was grateful.
Shane pushed open the bedroom door.
Charlotte, who was lying on the bed, reacted. She slowly turned her head and looked at him.
"Shane, where is Sheryl? Is she okay? How is she?" She reached out and wanted to grab him, but she fell down from the bed powerlessly.
Shane helped her up. "She's in the cleanroom, waiting for the operation."
"Operation?" She blinked her eyes.
"I will give her my bone marrow."
The bone marrow transplant had no effect on him. It was just a simple extraction. On the contrary, it was better for him to stimulate the function of his body.
Charlotte stared at Shane for a while and suddenly smiled. Her eyes turned red again. She was crying and laughing on his shoulder. It was no different from being insane.
Shane knew that she was under too much psychological pressure.
"I don't think it's necessary for you to marry me now. Then you won't be under that much pressure."
Charlotte shook her head.
Her stress had nothing to do with Shane.
She was afraid that Sheryl would disappear as soon as she turned around, and she was even more worried that Sheryl's condition would not be better after the operation.
She was worried that...
Charlotte didn't know what she was worrying about, but in her heart, she just couldn't get over it.
"When the operation is over, I'll take you to X Country and have fun."
"What about Sheryl?" She asked nervously.
"She will be in the cleanroom. Don't worry, no one can hurt her."
It was only when Charlotte heard the three words 'the clean room', that she would let it go.
Even bacteria couldn't get in, so it must be very safe.
She kept thinking about it and fell asleep just like that.
Looking at the thinner woman in his arms, Shane's heart ached for her.
He tried to weaken his grip as much as possible. His long fingers gently patted her shoulders. He listened to her gentle and quiet breathing, and his heartbeat slowed down along with hers.
If he didn't love anyone in his life, it didn't matter.
But if he could love someone, that person had to be her.
For some reason, Shane had the impulse to love someone for the first time in his life.
His so-called love was to give her all the best things.
Shane had once again become a hot topic of discussion.
He was no longer the director or chairperson of NC Company. It was only now that everyone noticed his investment company.
None of them suffered any losses.
If they could rope him into their own camps, it would change the fates of all the big and small businesses under their banner.
Not only Shane could make a big company
stronger, but he could also make a small company grow in the shortest time.
"They said that you gave up NC Company because you have the ability to create another one. What do you think?" Braden was lying on the sofa haphazardly, wearing sunglasses.
"I'm not interested." Shane drank coffee and thumbed at his tablet.
"I really don't understand. Isn't NC Company the empire you built with your own hands? Why did you give it away to someone just like that?"
"Why not?"
"Wow, that really pisses me off."
Braden wasn't even bothered to deal with him.
This was NC Company, after all. Even 1% of its dividends was worth a few million dollars. How could he say "why not"?
Braden licked his lips and said, "Wait, I don't think it's right. If you give up NC so soon, doesn't it mean that you have other avenues? Buddy, you're so mean. If you want to make money, take me with you."
"Sure, give me two billion dollars."
"How can I get so much money? I can do 300 million at most." Braden pursed his lips.
"Will I make you lose money?" Shane looked up at him coldly.
There was bound to be no loss, but he didn't have so much money anymore.
Braden put on a wry smile and said, "It's not like you don't know that my family always asks me for money. 300 million dollars is really too much. If I give it to you, I will probably only have a few hundred thousand dollars left."
"If 300 million dollars gets you 10 per cent shares?"
"I don't care about that. Even if you only give me one per cent, I'm sure I can make a profit with you."
Braden and Christopher were totally different. He had 100% trust and loyalty to Shane.
Shane nodded. "Sure."
At that time.
Zoe went downstairs and said, "Mr. Fuller, Miss Charlotte has already woken up. You asked me to remind you to go up."
Shane turned off his tablet, got up and walked upstairs.
He was in such a hurry...
Braden raised his eyebrows.
It was a blessing in disguise. It seemed that Shane and Lottie's relationship had warmed up a
ittle.
