Shane nodded. "Answer it."

After the last time, if Rick could still call her, it meant that it was something important.

Charlotte nodded. She picked up the phone and placed it to her ear, "Rick?"

"Are you investigating the Stevens family? I don't intend to cooperate with them. The investment they gave me is an accident. Don't get the whole Stevens family involved because of you and Kendall, and what happened between the three of us. It's not good for you."

"Is it not good for me, or for Kendall?"

Rick was shocked into silence by Charlotte's question. He kept silent.

Charlotte didn't say anything else. Now that the tables had been turned, and they had different teammates and people she cared about, their thoughts were completely different now.

"It's not good for both of you."

"So, you are not only showing concern for me, but also for Kendall's welfare. Not only did you allow Kendall to hurt my daughter, but you also think that I should let her go. Rick, do you have a conscience? Can you still say that you're a human being?" Charlotte sneered.

Her hands were trembling a little.

If Rick had not made this call, she would feel that they had broken up peacefully.

Did he actually want her to let Kendall go?

How dare he? Did he think she was a saint?

Kendall had hurt her child. Did he expect her to congratulate her on a job well done?

Of course not!

Shane came to Charlotte's side and held her shoulders with both hands. Charlotte calmed down for a moment. She turned around to look at him and gave him a reassuring look. She was only aggravated and not angry.

Shane didn't take his hands away. He stood by her side quietly, like a guardian giving her strength.

"Rick." Charlotte spoke up once again, "We aren't friends. I'm very grateful that you once liked me, but that's all in the past. Let's just leave it be."

She would always be grateful that, in her most difficult times, the Jane siblings had helped her.

However...

She could not live in gratitude forever.

Without waiting for Rick's reply, Charlotte immediately ended the call. At the same time, she also muted her phone.

"No one will disturb you anymore. Let's continue talking about the matter between you and Christopher. Why did you say that no one thinks of you as brothers?" Charlotte placed her phone back into her bag.

"Your mood..."
