"I, I'll think about it," Charlotte muttered.

"I don't have the time to wait any longer. Give me an exact time. Do you want to stay by my side or leave that dangerous man?"

Tears started to well up in her eyes.

Rick's heart had softened, but he forced himself to be cruel and asked straightforwardly, "It's not that you can't let me go, you can't let him go. Why? Do you want to be treated by him... like this?"

She shook her head. Of course, she didn't.

"Well, then you deserve this don't you?"

"..." Charlotte felt no need to explain this further.

"Can you make my heart ache even more?"

Bang-

Rick smashed the table beside her.

Charlotte curled up into a ball and hugged herself tightly.

There was no harm in marrying Rick.

He treated her so well and he liked Sheryl so much. If she married him, she could manage the Jane Corporation and be his handy partner.

He could go and manage the Jane Corporation overseas when he gets busy. She could help him hold the fort here and when the branches here became more stable, she would go manage other new areas. There was nothing wrong.

In fact, it was a very good and perfect plan.

Rick didn't care about her past. She would definitely rely on his tenderness in the future.

He was good on the inside out, she had no reason not to like him.

The facts were clear when she rationally thought of the pros and cons. However, she still couldn't make up her mind.

Could it be she was the type that wants the best of both worlds? The more she couldn't have something, the more she yearned for it. She held on tight to her back-up while loving another man.

It was true.

She admitted that she had no self-respect.

Charlotte whimpered as she covered herself under the blanket.

Perhaps before Shane sent Tiffany away, she could hold back her feelings. But now, she had no other way.

She didn't know if marrying Rick was a choice or an escape.
