"Well..." Braden felt that it was not easy to be a reporter but he did not dare to talk back to his wife, so he could only keep quiet.

"Let's go." Charlotte calmly ended the conversation.

Anne glared at Braden.

Braden touched his nose unhappily. It was hard enough to chase his wife, but it was even harder to coax her. It was extremely difficult to have a sweet life with his wife. It was very difficult for him.

"I don't like sour foods."

"Uh, I also bought some apples."

"Lottie, I don't like fruits."

Rick was still looking out the window. "I was dealing with the reporters here in the afternoon. Suddenly they all left, one of them told me you arranged a press conference with Shane, right?" "Yes, I thought of a plan with Shane's help..."

"Did you know Shane has never been present in any press conferences?"

Charlotte was stunned for a moment and her hands froze.

"Did you know Shane has never praised a company in public?"
