Chapter 204 Heart Ached for Rick

After the engagement, Rick stayed to see off the guests while Anne took Charlotte home. He was afraid if they stayed longer something might happen due to the threat. He would feel much better if they were both at home. 

After the last person left, Rick stared at the empty church hall. He didn't feel as happy as he had imagined. 

Everyone had witnessed him fulfil his wish and realised his dreams. He shouldn't be in such a low mood. 

His phone vibrated in his pocket. He quickly collected his thoughts and answered the call.  

"Hello?"

"It's done," It was Shane.

Rick smiled. "Yes, it's done."

Shane was standing in a tall building in the capital of another country. He looked out at the skyscrapers and said, "I mean I'm done with my business. You can have your shares back."  

"Do I look like someone who makes vain promises?" 

"True gold fears no flame." 

What he meant was someone of integrity would not be afraid of any accusation.
