Second Marriage novel Chapter 89

"Well, Kennedy and I are half-brothers."

Manfred explained softly, “Things are a bit complicated, but Kennedy grew up outside and was back few years ago, so his pattern of getting along with us is strange. Plus his leg was injured, he was irritable. Kennedy suffered a lot, and Grandpa wanted to make up for him, so he gave the position as president to Kennedy. Of course, he was capable. Even if Grandpa did not give him that position, he would have that relying on his capability.

Charlotte: …… she did not expect such a story.

But, Kennedy grew up outside? And they were half-brother?

At the thought that Kennedy's mother could be a mistress, Charlotte's heart has an indescribable feeling.

Probably because she had been a mistress, so…

Thinking of this, Charlotte pursed her lips, remembering the appearance of Kennedy. Was he irritable because of this?

"Don’t mention it in front of Kennedy, or he will be angry." Manfred smiled faintly at Charlotte, “Can you understand?"

Charlotte looked at him, did not say anything, just nodded.

After arriving at that intersection of the Moore family, Manfred thoughtfully parked the car.

"Thank you, I'll go first." Before Charlotte left, Manfred called out to her and then handed her a bag, "This is an extra cake that my secretary bought, but I don’t like sweet things. Here you are."

A cake?

Charlotte paused, she also did not like it.

"No need, Manfred"

"Take it, don't you girls love to eat?" Manfred put it into her hand. And she had to take it and got off the car.

After saying goodbye to Manfred, Charlotte stood at the intersection for a while before walking inside, carrying the cake in her hand.

How should she handle the cake? The cake was a gift, she didn’t feel good about throwing it away, but she could not eat it.

The she called Diana, she liked sweet things.

When she took out her cell phone and was about to call Diana, a familiar vehicle passed by her and then slowed down.

Charlotte subconsciously glanced sideways and met the icy eyes of Kennedy, and all her movements stopped in place.

She had got off the car less than a minute ago. Did he see that? At the thought of this, her face paled.

However, Kennedy just coldly glanced at her and then withdrew his gaze. Then the car drove away.

At the same time, Diana picked up the phone.

"Hello? Charlotte? Hello?"

Diana's questioning voice kept coming from the other end of the phone, and only then did Charlotte come back to her senses and put the phone to her ear.

"Diana."

"Charlotte, what are you doing just now? How come you didn't respond to the call?"

Only then did Charlotte smile and explain in a soft voice, “I was walking on the road."

"Are you okay?"

"Yes."

"What do you want from me?"

Charlotte looked at the cake in her hand, "Don't you like to eat cake? I happen to have one in my hand, do you want it?"

Diana immediately agreed, “Yes, yes, where are you? I'll come to you right away."

So Charlotte said a place to meet and hung up the phone before going to a nearby cafe.

Not long after sitting down, Diana came.

When she saw the cake, Diana's eyes were glowing.

"Dear Charlotte, you are really my good bestie, you can even grab the cake from HAPPY cake shop!"

HAPPY cake shop?

Charlotte tilted her head, “Is this cake very famous?"

"Of course!" Diana could not wait to pick up a spoon and scoop a mouthful of cream, "It is the most famous cake store in B City. The store owner is very strange, he only makes ten cakes every day. I often line up to buy it, but I failed to get one. I didn't expect you to be able to buy it, it's amazing."

It was difficult to buy one. Then how did Manfred's secretary get it?

But this was not something she should consider.

"By the way, how is the matter you helped me to check? Is there any news?" Charlotte asked casually.

Hearing this, Diana looked up at her with scream on her mouth, “That is why you bought me cake today?”

Charlotte glared at her, “Yes, I need your help, so I have to be more attentive."

"Come on, but for the sake of the cake, I'll tell you good news." Speaking of this, Diana's expression suddenly became serious. She put down the knife and fork in her hand and spoke solemnly.

"We have now helped you find where the button was produced, and who to use it. My brother is already trying to contact that designer. But I heard that this designer has a strange fetish, all the things are sold by himself, and only sold to acquaintances, or to a destined person. The buttons used in only two suits. One of them sold rather sensationally because the designer was so famous that many people offered high prices for it, so he sent the one with the button directly to a charity, which passed it on to the auction house. I heard that it was sold for one million dollars. Of course, the person who shot it is a famous foreign businessman, who already has a wife and children. We have investigated him, he has never been to China, so this person can be ruled out."

Hearing this, Charlotte could not help but suck in a breath, she was shocked.

That button was so amazing.

One million dollars, how much money was that be?

"We are still investigating. As long as we contact the designer, we will soon know where the suit had been sold to, but it is certain that you will have a bright future!"

Hearing the last words, Charlotte did not feel well.

A bright future? She had never thought of it that way, and if he had a strong background, she was worried.

She would rather he was an ordinary person.

She lowered her eyes and her mood suddenly seemed to be bad. Diana thought her words had hurt her and explained in a panic, “Charlotte, don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to look down on you, I'm just glad you met a very powerful man!"
