Charlotte refused to believe it. The sadness in her eyes flashed and she shouted, not willing to give up, "You just admitted that you are Ms. Coco."

When Charlotte saw Ms. Coco's weathered body tremble, she was even more convinced that she hadn't been mistaken. She continued to try to reason with her.

"Ms. Coco, I don't know why you didn't say goodbye back then and why I couldn't find you. But now that you're right here in front of me, I will wait until you are willing to talk to me. "Gunther, close the door. They've mistaken me for someone else and will be leaving now."

The woman who had been referred to as Ms. Coco shouted at the young man standing by the door.

"Okay, Mom."

A metal door completely sealed off Charlotte's heart. When she saw Ms. Coco's attitude, she was even more convinced that what happened back then was not an accident.

"Cole."

The cold and ruthless voice made Cole, who had been standing silently to one side, shiver all over. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Fuller."

"There's no need."

Of course Charlotte could tell that Shane was trying to help her. However, she still wanted to use her own methods to do it.

"Mr. Fuller?"

Cole looked at Shane with a conflicted expression.

"Let her deal with it herself."

At that moment, Shane looked at the woman next to him in a new light and admired her even more.

There had always been two kinds of women surrounding him. One type was those who only knew how to compete for a man's favour. The other kind was way too scheming.

But this little woman before him didn't seem to belong to either of them...

"Thank you."

Charlotte's voice was a little weak, but Shane, who was only a meter away, could hear it clearly.

An hour later...

Almost everyone who passed by couldn't help but glance at the handsome man and beautiful woman standing outside the door. Nevertheless, there was no movement from behind the closed door. "Mr. Fuller, it seems to be raining."

Cole couldn't help but point out. When Shane glared at him coldly, Cole could only shut his mouth obediently.
