"Daddy, you'll protect Mommy, too, right?"

Sheryl asked expectantly.

Charlotte, who still had her back to them, froze instantly. She even paused in her action of wiping away her tears.

She didn't expect that she would also want to hear his answer.

"Yes."

Shane glanced at the woman standing in front of him before looking at the little girl again. Although he only said one word, it was enough to convince those who heard it.

"Shane, take Sheryl to the car first. I want to be here a little longer."

Charlotte said pleadingly.

Charlotte watched the two figures, one big and one small, move far away. She slowly smiled bitterly at the person in the photo and said, "Mom, that is the man I married. He treats me very well."

Charlotte sat in front of the tombstone for a long time, so long that she lost feeling in her legs. Then, she slowly stood up.

"Mom, Dad... passed away. I can't bury him with you. Although I don't know what happened that day, I'm sure you don't want to see him."

The corners of Charlotte's lips raised bitterly. She continued, "I've never hoped for him to die, even when I hated him the most. Now, although the Emerson Corporation is no longer in my grasp, I will seize it back."

With a determined look in her eyes, Charlotte quickly turned around and left.

She was afraid that all her emotional scars would be discovered.

"Mommy, you've finally come. Daddy and I have been waiting for you for a long time." Sheryl says with an anxious expression on her face.

"I'm sorry."

Charlotte gently apologized to the man leaning against the body of the car. In the next second, her chin was easily lifted. Her eyes stared into Shane's slightly angry ones. "Charlotte, do you know what it means to be a married couple?"

Shane suddenly asked in a condescending tone.

Charlotte opened her mouth slightly, but the
