Garrison hastily let go of Sotiria’s hand, and his gaze turned cold as he turned to look at Jordan.“Come in.”“Okay.” Jordan stroked her black-rimmed glasses as she walked into the ward and said, “I came right away after your call. I’ve finished the discharge formalities, and the doctor said you can go home now.”Garrison nodded indifferently.Jordan came up to Sotiria and studied her tear-stained face meticulously. “Tiria, I’ve heard about the marriage between Mr. Connor and Lorraine. If you feel like crying, then cry it out. Keeping everything inside will affect your mental health.”Sotiria lifted her brows and acted as if she did not care about it.“What are you talking about, Jordan? What does it have to do with me if they are getting married? Why do I have to cry?”“Tiria…” Jordan patted Sotiria’s shoulder comfortingly. “Alright, then! Their marriage is none of our business. We don’t care about them, and we definitely won’t cry for them!”The three of them then left the h
“Garrison? Can’t you see that my followers are taking pictures of me? Where are you taking me to?“Garrison, let go of me!“Garrison…”Lorraine struggled with all her might, yet she could not break herself free from Garrison’s grip. Garrison grabbed her wrist tightly, pulling her into the city hall.Lorraine’s followers all dared not to stop Garrison when they saw the grim expression on his face.Zachary looked indifferently as Garrison and Lorraine walked further and further away, as if this scene had nothing to do with him.Thump!Garrison kicked open the door of the city hall, startling the group of staff who were talking and drinking coffee inside. One of them even dropped his glass on the floor, releasing a loud “clink” into the air as it smashed into two pieces.After roughly two seconds, a male staff member stood up discontentedly and snarled, “Hey! What the hell is wrong with you? Here is our working space! Who gave you the permission to barge in like this? Get the hell
“Gary, I may hate Charlotte, but she doesn’t even know who she is right now. What’s the point in antagonizing her with this? I don’t know how those people found out about my marriage registration with Zach. They came on their own, you’ve completely misunderstood me.”Just then, Garrison gradually calmed down. Upon careful consideration, marrying Zachary was Lorraine’s long-time dream. Her marriage registration to Zachary was enough to send her into cloud nine. Under these circumstances, she would not deliberately create problems to make Zachary unhappy…However, when he saw Sotiria sobbing in the car, he was immediately placed into a stupor and felt a great urge to make Lorraine pay.He lowered his gaze and looked at Lorraine’s hand. His voice turned gentle. “I overreacted and used a lot of force. Does it hurt?”“Hey! I’m on cloud nine, brother. I feel as if I’m the luckiest girl on earth. I wouldn’t feel any pain if I had to take another knife for Zachary, let alone you grabbi
“Gary!”A million thoughts ran through Lorraine’s head as she gently tugged Garrison’s hand from behind him.“We’ve already come so far, and we can’t turn back now. You need to be more optimistic. You need to think that maybe once Carlie regains her memories, she would have grown to love you after being with you for so long and would have completely forgotten about Zach.”‘Sigh!’Garrison took a deep breath.‘How I wish it would turn out that way! However, I am keenly self-aware. Over the past four years, I would spend time with her whenever I had free time. Even though her heart was drawing closer and closer to me, her feelings for me resembled the love between siblings. I can never seem to sense any romantic feelings from her at all… If God really felt sorry for me and made Carlie let go of Zachary and make her develop passionate romantic feelings for me, I’d do everything in the name of God to repay Him for this blessing!’Clack!Garrison opened the door to leave.Lorraine,
At this time, Lorraine had already gotten into the car with Zachary and drove off. Now that their favorite celebrity had left, the fans immediately dispersed, leaving a few internet celebrities at the venue, taking videos and live streaming.…Lorraine returned to the hospital.When one was depressed, days would pass like years. However, when one was overjoyed, time passed quickly and fleetingly. The day turned into night in the blink of an eye.Zachary, Ivan, and Jebediah had all gone home, leaving Lorraine all alone, standing in front of the window. She held her marriage certificate with Zachary in her hand. Every time she saw her picture with Zachary, she couldn’t help beaming.“I knew you’d be too happy to fall asleep tonight. I was right. It’s almost 1:30 a.m. now, and you’re still drowning in happiness, unable to get over it.”Lorraine only realized that someone had entered her ward when she heard that voice. She didn’t turn around. Instead, she steadily replied, “I thought
Jebediah was overjoyed. “Okay.”He released Lorraine as soon as he said this.Lorraine picked up her marriage certificate first and carefully placed it next to her pillow. Then, she lay on the bed with a slight bend in her delicate and slim legs. “Come on then. However, my stomach area is injured so I can’t take your weight. You need to be careful, so don’t press yourself on me.”Jebediah nodded in surprise.The luxurious special ward bed began to shake.Jebediah placed his strong arms by the sides of the pillow and suspended himself above Lorraine. At first, he didn’t notice anything different. However, he slowly realized that Lorraine wasn’t just smiling up at him, but her eyes were exceptionally gentle…He longed for Lorraine, but Zachary was the only one for Lorraine.Even though he had committed a lot of sins for Lorraines, even though Lorraine had always returned his favor with physical intimacy, every time she “repaid” him, she would show no signs of emotions, as if she
Jebediah couldn’t take it anymore. He suddenly got up and rolled off the bed, then smashed his strong fist against the window.Crash!The strong, metal-like tempered glass shattered, turning into countless pieces of glass, and poured onto the ground like a waterfall.Jebediah couldn’t be bothered with the pain in his hand. He turned around and strode towards the door.The smile in Lorraine’s eyes gradually turned cold as she stared at him, walking further and further away.As soon as Jebediah had left, a nurse who had heard the noise rushed into the ward in panic.“Miss Larson, I heard a loud noise. Did… Ah! The window broke. What happened?”Lorraine shook her head smoothly.“I was fast asleep. I woke up from that loud noise too. When I woke up, I saw that the window was broken. I’d like to know what happened myself.”…“Zachary… Don’t come any closer! Zachary!”Sotiria was startled away from a nightmare. She was dreaming of Zachary again.She wiped away the cold sweat on h
Garrison suddenly tensed up. “Your sister-in-law has been in a bad mood lately, and I’m afraid she can’t help you with anything. You can leave now. If you need anything from her in the future, just let me know, and I will help you to inform her!”“Garrison, why are you so nervous when I said I’m looking for Tiria? In any case, she’s your wife. Do you think I will harm her?”As Lorraine was talking, she began to walk toward Sotiria.“No! You can’t get close to her!”Garrison grew even more nervous and grabbed Lorraine’s arm.“Nothing good can ever come from you coming to Tiria at this time. You stay away from her!” he said as he dragged Lorraine toward the door.Garrison’s strength was great, and he was determined to “chase” Lorraine out of his house. As such, he lifted Lorraine, who was slim and in weight, like a doll without any difficulty, and threw her out of the door.Just when he was about to close the door, Sotiria’s voice erupted. “Garrison, how can you treat your siste
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a
“Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
“What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon
“Don’t forget who I am. There’s nothing that I can’t find out as long as I want to know... Aaaah—“Baby, you‘re hurting me. Don’t be too greedy... Oh, slow down, I’m on the phone. Oh. Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay. You should
Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
