Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 470

In the end, Avery decided to settle down in Brine.

Olive stayed behind as well.

Initially, the issue with his residency was an extremely difficult matter to solve but Charlotte only made two calls before it was settled. Avery clicked his tongue in wonder. Charlotte asked him not to tell anyone else about it. After all, a person's connections were only useful if kept secret. Otherwise, it would just be gossip. Fortunately, Avery was a reasonable man. Not only did he keep quiet about it, he told people who asked about it that the matter was still in the process.

It wasn't until he officially bought the house that he announced his residency. It had been three years since he decided to stay, so no one cared whether it was true or not.

In the past three years, Shane had been performing at different places. Charlotte would be with him each time and Cassius would dance for him occasionally.

It was worth mentioning that Cassius was already at the pinnacle of success. Many artists, entertainers and songwriters had signed under him. Directors and screenwriters also couldn't wait to stay at his house all day. He himself was a big IP with many promising artists working for him. Now, he had a bright future.

Braden and Anne had also settled down in Brine. They relied on some of Anne's assets to live. Occasionally they would go grocery shopping together hand in hand.

They had a car, a house and some deposits. They had the ability, money and time to live a life free from the chaos of the world. They were basically living the lives of gods.

In a blink of an eye.

Caleb and Ryland were released from prison. Both of them were sentenced to prison for five years and fined 1 million dollars for attempted murder and tax evasion.

Kendall and Rick returned to the country as fast as they could when they received this news. They arrived at the prison before Caleb and Ryland could leave.

"You still remember you had a brother and a father?" Caleb's eyes went red with fury when he saw her. He raised his fist and rushed forward. Rick grabbed his hand and said coldly, "You don't need me and Kendall to remind you of what evil things you've done. Avery and we may have contributed to the situation you're in but in the end you just reaped what you sowed!" "Reaped what we sowed? Rick, can you assure us that your hands are clean..."

"I can assure you."

Caleb was instantly speechless. Kendall gently held Rick's hand from the side. "I used to think there are no clean businessmen in the world too but after I met Rick and the rest of them, I suddenly realised it doesn't matter if you're clean or not. What's important is helping the people in need."

"Even if Rick is dirty, he is still trying to help everyone. His money is in the right place."

Caleb pursed her lips. "Isn't it all for your own selfish desires?"

"Rick, forget it." Kendall sighed.

For the past few years she was with Rick, she had gradually understood the other's logic. They made money to give back to the society in order to bring greater benefits towards them unlike his father and brother, who only wanted to expand their family's riches. Rick and the others never cared about these. They only wanted to live their own lives and do what they should do.

If the people they wanted to take advantage of were extremely evil, they would not be softhearted either.

That was them.

The righteous ones.

"Since we have nothing else to say, please choose a country. We'll give you a piece of land with a decent house. You'll have bodyguards and housekeepers. They would protect and take care of you twenty-four hours a day. We would also provide you with any other needs such as vacations and so on." Rick paused. "It's a prison and you have no choice."

After he finished, he and Kendall left without waiting for an answer. At the same time, he signalled for the men behind him to apprehend the both of them.

He could vaguely hear them cursing behind his back but he couldn't care less.

"Rick, it's a good thing that I've always liked you." Kendall held Rick's hand tightly with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Shouldn't you say that it's fortunate that you like me?" Rick burst into laughter.

"It's the same thing."

Indeed.

As long as the two of them were together, it was the same.

After the problem with the Stevens Family was completely solved, Charlotte no longer had any worries. She developed the company so that it was even more renowned than before.

"Christopher will be released in a few days, we..." Zoe, her assistant, reminded her in a low voice.

The company had grown bigger and it was on a much larger scale but the people around her remained the same.

Now.

Zoe was the chief assistant, her husband, Peter was the chief adviser and also one of the directors of the company. For many years, they had accumulated wealth far beyond any ordinary person. It could be said they had a complete transformation. They had become a shining

diamond that the world could not ignore.

Charlotte put down the documents in her hands and answered, "I know. I would meet with him later and see what choice he makes."

"Although the people from the Fuller family didn't die, they do have a lot of resentment against you. I also don't understand, why did you protect Christopher before?"

Charlotte didn't reply. She simply smiled.

Zoe sighed and said, "Alright, I

understand. It was so Shane would have another family to talk to, right?" "Well, Raima chose to go to the nursing home as I expected. After all, she doesn't like me and Sheryl. Besides, now that Freddie's here, that villa is just right for them and the housekeepers. Avery and Irena could also have some privacy in their own villa."

"But you and Shane... You have been apart for so long these few years. You said you were going to get married, but even Sheryl is about to become an adult soon."

"Come on, there are still five years before she becomes an adult."

"Don't you remember? You've already known Shane when Sheryl was only five years old."

That's right.

In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed.

Just as Charlotte was lost in her thoughts, her phone rang. She glanced at it and her eyes darkened. She immediately stood up and said, "Cancel all of today's meetings."

"What's wrong?" Zoe was shocked when she saw her grab her keys and bag in a hurry. She watched as Charlotte paced around in a blur.

For the past few years, Charlotte rarely acted this way.

"Shane is in trouble. I have to go and see him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Charlotte directly rushed out of the office.

Shane was in trouble?

Wasn't he performing?

What happened?

In the hospital.

Shane laid on the bed. He tried many times but he couldn't raise his left hand.

In fact, from the moment he fell off the stage, he had already expected this. In the future, he might not be able to use his left hand at all. Instead of feeling disappointed, he felt that this was inevitable. He had been playing the piano for so many years but he never mixed around. He enjoyed so many resources yet he never befriended anyone. It was normal for others to be jealous of him.

In addition, he was no longer in charge of the company. He had left everything to Charlotte but they weren't married...

Therefore, it wasn't surprising if others would think he was a pushover.

"Shane!"

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a familiar voice.

He leaned to one side. Charlotte entered his ward with beads of sweat on her forehead.

"I'm fine," he said.

"The doctor has already told me that

your hand can't move for now. But that's okay, I've asked Skylar to find the best doctor. I've also asked Peter to deal with the people who did this to you. They wouldn't think about touching the piano again from now on. I'm sorry..." Charlotte held onto his hand.

His hand was so cold.

Shane raised his right hand and asked in amusement, "What do you have to be sorry for?"
