Sweet Divorce

"Charlotte, why do you care so much about Rita's relationship with Liam?" Mason didn't understand.

Recently, because the goods wouldn't sell, everyone of the Brown family was worried. Especially Mason.

He was in charge of the clothing business with which something went wrong.

Mason grabbed Charlotte and said with reddened eyes, "Charlotte, forget about Rita. Think of a way to help me sell those clothes."

"You useless man! You are begging our daughter? Do you have no shame? If you had not offended the wholesalers, we wouldn't have been in such a position!" Grace Davis, who had been sitting at the bedside, pushed Mason hard.

"Mom, don't do this to Dad!"

Charlotte glared at Grace and went to help Mason up.

"Dad, don't worry, I've figured out a way to help you with this mess."

"What are you going to do?" Mason's eyes were full of expectations.

"You'll know later," Charlotte replied mysteriously.

The last few times, she had been so careless as to give Rita chances to please their grandma.

This time, she wouldn’t make the same mistake again. Not just that, she would beat Rita!

"Charlotte, you keep secrets from me? Tell me." Mason was curious.

Charlotte patted him on the shoulder confidently. "Dad, I can only tell you not to worry. I will help you."

After all, what she was going to do this time was her strong suit!
