Charlotte calmed herself down and asked, "How far along is Lorraine?"The doctor replied with an ingratiating smile on her face, "I'm not very sure about that as well, but based on my years of experience in medicine, I can deduce that Ms. Larson is probably 40 to 45 days pregnant."'Just as I expected!' Charlotte heaved a long sigh of relief.She heard from Garrison that Zachary had been forced to agree to the engagement with Lorraine three years ago because she and Miranda had tricked him.However, Zachary did not want to marry Lorraine at all. As such, they made a pact together. If they couldn't meet someone suitable for each other after five years of engagement, they would get married.The purpose of Zachary doing that was to force Lorraine to voluntarily give up on him. He had been distancing himself from Lorraine, and since there was a good chance that he did not consummate with Lorraine after their marriage, the father to the baby in Lorraine's womb was definitely not Zach
After learning from Zenios that Zachary was now working in his company headquarters, she went into her car and made a beeline to Zachary’s company headquarters.The two security guards at the door stopped Charlotte when they saw her.“Miss, please show us your working pass.”Charlotte had been here before, so she knew that only the employees of this company and those who were close to Zachary could enter. As such, she tried to calm herself down and said, “I’m Zachary’s friend. I have something very important to tell him, so let me go in.”The fatter security guard took a step back with fear and made way for Charlotte when he heard her calling Zachary by his name. However, the skinnier security guard remained standing in front of Charlotte. “I’m sorry, but you’re not Mr. Connor’s friend.”Charlotte was a little nervous, but she willed herself to stay calm. Then, she raised her chin up and replied in a condescending voice, “Do you want to lose your job? Do you not know that thos
Zachary, who was as handsome as a god, opened his thin lips and spoke in a cold tone. “Speak.”The two guards released Charlotte but kept their eyes on her warily in case she continued to approach Zachary.Charlotte stared at the two bodyguards, then glanced at the more than ten people around her. “This involves your reputation and pride. It would be a disaster if your company employees heard this. Let’s go somewhere quiet. I’ll speak to you alone.”“No need.”Zachary curled the corners of his perfect lips icily.“One should learn from their mistakes. You’re unruly. I’m worried that you’ll pounce on me again if I speak to you alone, just like yesterday.”“Uh…” Charlotte’s face blushed furiously as she remembered how she forcibly kissed Zachary yesterday.The employees around them were too afraid to make a sound due to Zachary’s powerful, intimidating aura. However, at that moment, they were either sniggering in secret or shooting disdainful glances at Charlotte.Charlotte rem
Meanwhile, another female employee immediately collapsed from shock.At that moment, Zachary’s perfect, glacier-like face showed a crack. His already deep, icy pupils seemed to turn into two bottomless whirlpools.“It’s perfectly understandable for you to hate my wife because you want me to be your lover. But I’m warning you, I won’t let anyone slander my wife. If you continue doing this, I’ll make sure you’ll never speak again!”Charlotte’s body trembled from the sight of his ice-cold pupils.He, on the other hand, quietly removed his gaze from her face, pushed her aside, turned around, and left.“Zachary!”Charlotte couldn’t care less at this point. She yelled loudly and emotionally at his figure.“I’m telling the truth. Lorraine’s been lying to you. She’s not as pure as she seems. She’s pregnant with someone else’s baby now, and that’s a fact. If you don’t believe me, take her to the hospital for an examination, and you’ll understand—”“Enough!”Zachary icily cut her off. H
Charlotte glanced at Lucas in disappointment. “Tell me.”Lucas fiddled with his phone. “Second Master asked me to tell you that he left you with the decision over whether he should marry Miss Larson at the hospital. That means he left you with the decision over the continuation of your relationship. So when you decided on making him marry Miss Larson, it meant that you decided to sever your relationship. Second Master says that he’s never turning back and hopes that you’ll give up too.”Previously, Charlotte had forcibly kept herself from crying despite the grief she had suffered. Now, her tears began streaming down her face like a broken pearl necklace.“Sigh! Miss Green, cheer up. Actually, this isn’t entirely your fault…”Lucas couldn’t bear the sight of it and gave Charlotte a piece of tissue.Once Charlotte accepted the tissue paper, he continued. “Do you still not understand? The reason Second Master developed feelings for you was that you share a resemblance with Charlotte
Charlotte, who had repeatedly hit a wall in seducing Zachary three times, understood very well that she could never sway Zachary as Sotiria Green.Lucas was right. Charlotte Simmons was the only person who could ever revive Zachary’s dead heart!She wanted to save Zachary, and the only way to do it was to be candid with him over her real identity.However, she had to take measures against Lorraine.That year, Lorraine had used Jebediah as support to wreak havoc repeatedly. Once Lorraine lost Jebediah’s support, she would be all alone, and Charlotte wouldn’t need to fear her anymore!So before she revealed herself to Zachary, she had to make sure that Jebediah would not support Lorraine anymore.Charlotte arrived at Rainbow Bridges.Rainbow Bridges was filled with a thick mist all year round. A rainbow would appear on the bridge when the sun was at its brightest. It was a beautiful sight when viewed from afar. However, if anyone stood at the bridge, their entire body would be f
“Tell me!” replied Jebediah.Charlotte went straight to the point. “Lorraine’s been pregnant for more than 40 days. Whose baby do you think it is?”“Huh?” Jebediah, who’s always been as cold as an assassin, immediately cried out in shock. His handsome, sculpted face displayed a clear sense of surprise and pleasure. “Charlotte, you can’t just joke about these things. Stop making a scene!”“Hah!” Charlotte snorted. “I risked my life and exposed the fact that I’ve regained my memories to contact you, just to pull this prank on you? Just how stupid do you think I am?”Jebediah’s tall figure swayed. “Lory is a pure and good girl. She had sex with me because she owed me a favor, and I forced her. If she really is pregnant, then I must be the father… Lory! She’s pregnant with my kid!”His throat quivered violently while his dazzling, crystalline eyes shone. Even the tip of his brows was smiling.“I’m glad you know…”Charlotte’s delicate and pretty face was cold and indifferent.“I’v
“I understand that this is a difficult decision for you, so you don’t have to give me an answer right away. I can wait. You have my number. Call me once you’ve made your decision.”Charlotte picked up her feet and walked down the bridge once she had said that.The mist on the bridge was thick. Charlotte’s figure disappeared in the mist in the blink of an eye. Only her gentle and graceful footsteps echoed in Jebediah’s ear.He stared dazedly into the direction where Charlotte had left.“Aren’t you afraid that, after boldly contacting me, I’d refuse the deal and kill you and silence you to protect Lory instead? Since I know that you’ve recovered your memories.”“Not at all!”Charlotte’s clear voice rang aloud from the mist.“Remember, Jebediah. I almost killed Lorraine once that year, and I can kill her again. So I hired an assassin before I contacted you. If anything happens to me, or if any kind of accident happens to me and I die, you and Lorraine will certainly be behind it. T
