Shane didn't answer Rick's question. Instead, he turned around at the corner of the corridor. Then bent over and grabbed Charlotte's wrist, who thought she was hiding very well.

She was dragged forward by him and couldn't help but ask, "Shane, how do you know I'm here?"

He walked straight toward her without any hesitation.

Shane didn't want to answer her dumb question.

He led her outside. When they reached their car, he finally parted his lips and said, "Do you have a conclusion regarding what you've seen today?"

"Yes," Charlotte replied. "Kendall has a great relationship with Ryland and Caleb. However, I feel like the relationship between her and Caleb is very superficial. Caleb seems to dislike her and Rick."

"You're partly correct. The one that Caleb hates is not Kendall, but Rick." Shane opened the car door and said, "Continue."

Charlotte got into the car with him as she described the three things she noticed about the three members of the Stevens Family.

Firstly, Rick was able to touch Kendall affectionately in public, meaning that Ryland and Caleb had approved him. However, Caleb didn't seem to like him very much. That was enough to prove that the Stevens Family were dominant between their cooperation, while Rick was just a tool they used to make connections with Jane Corporation.

Secondly, all the information showed that the Stevens Family was not as competent as the Jane family. When Caleb wanted to marry Anne, he was directly rejected by the Jane Family. However, judging from the interaction between the three members of the Stevens Family and Rick, the weak one was obviously Rick.

Thirdly, Rick had always been gentle and polite, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a temper. When he recognized her and Shane, Rick only followed Shane out of the hot spring pool and didn't expose the two of them in public. This was actually not in line with his character.

"Based on these three points, I think that it's abnormal for Rick to ingratiate himself with the Stevens Family. It's abnormal for him not to confront us too. Unless..."

"He has other intentions." Shane hit the brake and stopped right in front of the red light.

Charlotte nodded seriously. "I suspect that the Stevens Family is trying to do something to Jane

Corporation by manipulating Rick. But their plan has been seen through by Rick. He wants to use himself as bait and confront the Stevens Family instead of being swallowed by the Stevens Family."

"Not bad." Shane nodded.

"But he doesn't seem to have any intention of teaming up with us either. He probably thinks that it's already enough for him to get help from us," Charlotte continued.

This behavior still didn't conform to Rick's personality.

Logically speaking, he should have found someone to cooperate with during times like this.
