Chapter 11 Man Of His Word

He had never expected the woman to be so desperate. He immediately turned the steering wheel without even thinking of dodging her bike.

When that happened, the front of the car turned to the left sharply. Because the speed of the car was too fast, the tires of his Bugatti Veyron rubbed against the ground and sparks flew as his car drifted to the middle of the road.

Charlotte had crossed the finish line before him.

As they watched from a distance, the people who stood by the gate of "The Pearl" were shocked by the unexpected result.

It took at least three seconds before someone said in a trembling voice, "This... How is this possible? Charlotte Simmons... She won..."

Someone said bitterly, "Pfft! Did she win? That was clearly cheating, okay? She should be ashamed and embarrassed!"

"Yes! That's right! This doesn’t count!"

"Of course it doesn't count. Mr. Connor will definitely not marry her."

Meanwhile, Zachary opened his door and got out of the car at the finish line.

Charlotte, who had parked her motorcycle by the side of the road, walked over to him and chuckled. "When I ran into you, you didn’t have to dodge. I would have crashed into your car and gotten seriously injured, while you would’ve been safe and sound. You would also have won in the end."

Zachary had a straight face on, but it looked like he was hiding secrets in his eyes. "So?"

"So, you didn’t actually lose to me. You lost to your sympathy. You saved my life but lost this bet." As she looked at this man, who had distinctive facial features, Charlotte panicked but tried to act calm. "I admit that I didn’t win fair and square, but you still lost, Mr. Connor. You should keep your promise, right?"

Zachary's eyes were cold, and his thin lips were slightly open.

Before Zachary could say anything, a bodyguard who was at the finish line defended him. "Mr. Connor, don’t be fooled by her. Did she actually win? Everyone saw it. You didn't lose. If she isn’t satisfied with the result, you two can just race again."

Charlotte’s heart sank, and her fingers curled up nervously.

He was right!

Even though she had won, she had won by cheating. If Zachary asked for this race to be invalidated and for them to race again, he would have a valid reason.

Charlotte knew in her heart that if she competed with Zachary on fair terms, she would have no chance of winning.

"No." A cold, charming voice came out of Zachary's lips. "I won’t break my promise."

What?

Charlotte was dumbfounded.

The bodyguard was also stunned. He said unwillingly, "But Second Master, you lost unfairly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zachary glared at him and he immediately shut his mouth.

Zachary's gaze landed on Charlotte's face, and the emotions in his eyes went beyond what someone like Charlotte could comprehend. "You win. Meet me at the entrance of the City Council at nine o'clock tomorrow. Don't be late."

After he said those words, he turned around and left.

The reason he had asked her to go to the City Council was probably to get a marriage certificate...

Although Charlotte had many questions at the moment, she did not have the time to think about anything else as she saw Zachary getting into the car. Although his back was facing her, she said anxiously, "I have a condition. I..."

"I know what you want." Zachary's eyes were empty, and it seemed like there was a hazy layer on the surface of his cold eyes.

"You’ll be marrying me, so your father will be my father-in-law. No matter how bold and arrogant Victor Rutherford is, he won’t have the guts to mess with the Simmons Family.”

So, Zachary knew everything about her family?

Did he also know that she was married to Bryson and had just given birth to a child?

"Remember, you’ll have my name now."

Charlotte was still in a daze when Zachary's voice entered her ears.

After Zachary said that, he got into the car and the sound of the car engine was heard. He started the luxurious supercar and slowly drove past Charlotte.

Charlotte looked at Zachary’s cold face through the translucent window glass. Just yesterday, she and this cold and terrifying devil in disguise had been strangers. Tomorrow, they would be husband and wife!

In the rearview mirror, Charlotte's figure gradually shrank, but Zachary could still smell her scent in his nose.

That scent was exactly the same as the scent that had made him lose control ten months ago.

It was as light as chamomile, but also like an ancient snow lotus that only bloomed on top of a snow-capped mountain.

Charlotte Simmons had the same scent as the woman he had met ten months ago.

Charlotte Simmons was a weak woman, but she was also the only one who had beaten him at drag racing in the past ten years.

Could this be their destiny?

    Charlotte rode the gold bike back to the parking space outside "The Pearl". Sarah walked over to her while twisting her body with a sarcastic expression on her face. "I admire you very much. We women lose our worth after we get married or have children, no matter how beautiful we look. There are very few second marriages that end up being better than the first marriage. “You’re different. Even though you were kicked out of the house by Bryson, you still managed to find Zachary, who is even better. Sigh! I finally figured it out today. As long as a pair of shoes looks great, even if it’s worn, some people will still pick it up and wear it without thinking that it’s dirty." In other words, she was calling Charlotte a pair of shoes that had been worn by Bryson... Sarah was jealous of Charlotte for being the most wanted socialite in Rothesay. In the past, Sarah had always ridiculed Charlotte, so Charlotte was not surprised. She pursed her lips calmly. "Sarah, I‘ve heard several

    Charlotte hailed a taxi by the side of the road. After giving birth, she had not rested well. Even though she was extremely exhausted, she’d kept on going. The moment she got into the car, her exhaustion struck like a flood. She settled in the car seat and fell asleep immediately. "Wake up! Wake up! We’re here!" Charlotte was woken up by the driver, who was shaking her. When she opened her tired eyes, the taxi had already entered the hospital. After Charlotte got out of the car, Lucas, who had a headful of gold curly hair, walked toward her and said, "He he... Remember me? Do you need me to reintroduce myself?" Charlotte cheered herself up and forced a smile. "My memory is not that bad. Zachary must have sent you here." Zachary... Because people had always used honorific terms when talking about Zachary Connor, very few people would call him by his first name. When Charlotte said that, Lucas was a little uncomfortable. He touched his oversized earrings. "Um… Yes, ye

    "Paradise No.3." Charlotte and Bryson had been living in this home with her father before getting married. As she looked at the pictures of her and Bryson on the bedroom wall, she thought of Bryson again. Charlotte was beautiful and outstanding. She had been the target of many great guys since her high school days, but she’d only ever had feelings for Bryson. After meeting Bryson, she had eliminated every member of the opposite sex from her life and willingly filled her world only with Bryson. She’d posted pictures of herself and Bryson on the wall... There had always been a few extra pairs of shoes for Bryson in the shoe cabinet... There had always been custom-made clothes for him in the closet... "Miss, your parcel is here." A parcel was placed on the sofa by her servant, Tom Benson. Charlotte opened it and looked at the pair of silver knee pads in the package. Tears started streaming down her face. The month before Charlotte and Bryson had gotten married, Bryso

    Alfred had been a butler for the Simmons Family for 30 years and knew Charlotte well. Although Charlotte did not answer him directly, he knew that Charlotte had consented. He sighed. "Even if you go, Bryson will act the same way he did last time. Why bother going?" Charlotte looked toward an unknown location in a daze as she said, "Alfred, just drive." Alfred had no choice but to start the car. About 20 minutes later, the car arrived outside the gate of the Platinum Coast villa. The door was shut. Charlotte could not help thinking about yesterday, when she’d stood alone outside the gate, waiting for Bryson after she had just given birth. So many things had happened in the past one day, and although it had just been over 20 hours, Charlotte felt like it had been a decade. "Miss Charlotte, are we going to keep waiting like this? Or should I just drive and hit the door? If we cause a ruckus, I don't believe that heartless man will still ignore us.” Alfred gritted his teeth i

    Crack! With a clear metallic sound, the lighter lit up. Alfred was about to throw the lighter into the suitcase, but Charlotte stopped him. "Wait!" Alfred said, "Miss Charlotte, do you still have anything to reminisce..." Charlotte's eyes were determined and ironic as she replied, "I'll do it myself!" She then took the lighter and threw it into the suitcase. A suitcase full of items, including Bryson’s photos, clothes, watches, shoes, and the pair of knee pads Charlotte had customized for him, were all soaked in gasoline. When they were exposed to the flame, they instantly started burning fiercely. Everything that Bryson had ever given Charlotte was inside too. Each of those items contained a precious memory, but after the fire, everything turned into ashes. This also symbolized that her feelings for Bryson had completely turned into ashes. As Charlotte looked at the flames, she disappointed herself, as tears started flowing down her face without her realizing it.

    "The Second Master didn’t follow you. He was just worried that Victor Rutherford would cause you trouble, so he sent someone to protect you in secret. But there’s no use saying this now, as the Second Master won’t waste any time on you in the future." Lucas handed over a contract, pushing it in front of Charlotte’s chest while he was speaking. "This is the prenuptial agreement that you signed yesterday afternoon. The first clause of the agreement states that you’re not allowed to have anything to do with your ex. The Second Master didn't do you wrong, did he?" Charlotte looked at the first clause of the agreement in a daze. Yesterday afternoon, she had reviewed the agreement before signing it. According to the agreement, if she violated any of the conditions, Zachary had the right to terminate the marriage... No matter the reason she had seen Bryson, she had violated the first clause of the agreement, and Zachary had not done her wrong! "I’ve been working for the Second Mas

    Zachary's expression was indifferent. His brows, which looked like an ink painting, rose slightly as he said, "I know." Charlotte could hear a buzzing sound in her mind. "Since you already know, why are you doing this to me?" Zachary said expressionlessly, "Because of the first clause of the agreement. Read it." Lucas had already given the contract to Charlotte, so she picked it up, found Clause One, and read it out loud. "Under no circumstances are you allowed to meet your ex. If you have to meet, you must ask Zachary Connor for permission." "Read the first three words again. Every single word." Zachary commanded her nonchalantly, like a king who could not be defied. Charlotte felt almost controlled by him. "Under. No. Circumstances!" Zachary then said, "So, why did you ask me why?" Charlotte was speechless for a while. Zachary Connor was right, and she could not argue with him. At that moment, Zachary handed her a white parasol. Charlotte grabbed the handle of

    "..." Lucas was going crazy. "Excuse me, Miss. Please just let me go. The Second Master has already made this very clear, and I don't want to upset him." Charlotte said, "Are you afraid of him?" Lucas concurred. Who wouldn’t be afraid of him in Rothesay? Charlotte said, "Since you’re so afraid of him, aren’t you afraid that I’ll speak ill of you when I become his wife in the future?" Lucas was obviously dumbfounded. He then laughed and said, "Miss, are you daydreaming? It's impossible for anything to happen between you and the Second Master." "Is it?" Charlotte walked across from Lucas one step at a time. Although her face was full of traces of tears, her eyes were still full of pride. "You said that Zachary has never given any woman the opportunity to approach him, but he gave me two. If he wasn't interested in me, why would he do that?" Lucas scratched his curly golden hair. "This is all in the past, okay? The Second Master won't give you a third chance." "How

    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.

    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
