"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.
