Braden put his mobile phone away and returned to Anne's side. He reached out to shield his eyes from the bright sunlight and squinted. "Honey, we may need to go back early." "Alright. By the way, have you called Shane?"

"Well..." Braden suddenly remembered that he had asked everyone except the other party. "I'll ask him now."

Shane didn't answer his phone. It was 9 o'clock in the morning, which should be around 8:30 in the morning back there. Shane should have woken up.

After several calls, someone finally picked up the phone.

"Speak." Shane's voice was hoarse, his tone impatient.

"What the hell is going on? Christopher called me out of nowhere and said he won't be taking me as an enemy."

"He withdrew his shares. He apparently returned 5% of his original shares to me."

"What? So you two turned against each other?"

"Ha."

"Stop sneering. What has actually happened?"

"5% of the original shares." Shane's voice was flat as if he was narrating a story that had nothing to do with him.

Braden shuddered violently.

Christopher used to have 12% of shares. Why was there only 5% left now?

"Who did he sell his shares to?"

"And when did he sell it?" Braden thought.

Braden rubbed his temples. "Did he plan this beforehand, or did it happen out of the blue?"

"I don't know."

"Cough, brother, I'm asking this on behalf of my wife. You and Char-"

Before Braden was able to say". He had already hung up the phone. He wanted to ask if he needed to return to the country, but the question was stuck in his throat.

He put away his phone awkwardly and said, "I don't think Shane needs us. We're not going back."

"Did he say anything about Lottie?" Anne asked, curious.

'I didn't even finish mentioning the word

"Charlotte" before he hung up."

"That's great."
