"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.

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

Charlotte was stunned for a moment and her hands froze.
