As Charlotte was finishing her cake, she didn't notice someone was approaching her from a distance.

"Mr. Fuller, I haven't seen you for a long time. You still look as handsome as ever. No one can take their eyes off you."

This voice...

Charlotte stopped eating her cake and looked at her.

It was Elaine.

Shane didn't even glance at her. He looked at her arm which was around Christopher, and asked, "Is this your new toy?"

"Mr. Fuller, you're kidding." Christopher gently pushed Elaine away and said, "I'm now the biggest stockholder of the Emerson Corporation, it's my duty to support Miss Yuliana. Besides, with my presence, the relationship between the Emerson Corporation and the NC Company had improved a lot. Isn't that good?"

"Sure," Shane replied coldly.

This was one of his biggest traits. He was able to kill the conversation with one word.

As Charlotte ate the cake, the fork fell to the ground by accident.

In an instant.

Elaine and Christopher turned to look at her.

Elaine saw the cream on the corner of her mouth and mocked disdainfully, "It's been so many years yet you're still like a child. Don't you know what kind of occasion it is? Aren't you ashamed to be eating such a thing beside Mr. Fuller?"

"Well, if I don't act like a child, you can't live up to the title as my stepmother. Mr. Fuller was right, we should care for our reputation." She put down the cake and wiped her mouth with a napkin.

She wasn't wearing any makeup.

The color of her lips was naturally bright red.

Elaine, who was wearing a thick layer of makeup, clenched her fists. Her feelings of envy and bitterness throughout the years resurfaced at that moment.

However, she put on a smile on her face. "Everyone's pursuit in life is different," she said in an extremely gentle tone. "At least, I'm winning now." "Not necessarily."

Shane wrapped his slender fingers around Charlotte's waist and pulled her to his side.

Charlotte leaned into his embrace and smiled coquettishly, "That's true. Your pursuit was my father's. My pursuit is Mr. Fuller's."

"You!" Elaine's face turned pale with anger. She clenched her fists and glared at Charlotte.

Christopher kept a faint smile on his face. He did not want to get involved between the three of them.

Charlotte brushed her hair over her shoulders and gave Elaine a wink. "Sorry, Miss Yuliana, Mr. Fuller and I have other affairs to attend to. Excuse us for now."

As they left, Elaine bit her lips and stamped her foot hard.

"Are you angry?" Christopher whispered into her ear.

"Mr. Gibson, you said before that as long as I worked with you, no one could come against you!"
