At this time, a cool beige Ferrari was parked outside the gate of the precinct. When Lucas saw Charlotte and Renata walking out of the precinct from inside the car, he immediately poked his head out of the car window.“Milady, Second Master asked me to pick you up and send you home. Please get in the car.”Charlotte shook her head. “Our cars are still parked at Crescent Lake. We have to go back there to pick up our cars, so I can’t go home with you.”Lucas rubbed his oversized earrings habitually. “In this case, I’ll send you to Crescent Lake. Is that okay with you?”Charlotte nodded. “Of course.”After saying so, she pulled Renata gently. “Let’s go!”“Okay~” Renata nodded in a daze. Although she was walking toward Lucas’s car with Charlotte, her eyes were fixed on Lucas’s face all this time.‘This man is so handsome! Not only is he handsome, but he also has a dazzling golden afro and a pair of oversized earrings. Usually, men with this hairstyle and wearing such earrings have a
She then sighed in the next second. “Luke, I expected you to say so before I disclosed such information to you. I’m the only person in the whole world who knows that Lorraine isn’t as pure and innocent as everybody thinks she is. No one would believe me. That was why I could only hope to go down together with her back then.”“Milady, please don’t say so. It’s not that I don’t believe you. I’d definitely believe you if you were to say that it was some other person who did those things, but you’re talking about Ms. Larson…” Lucas smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry! Milady! I can’t believe what you just said if you can’t show me any evidence!”Charlotte did not say another word, started the car, and drove forward.In fact, Zachary had also asked her the same question that Lucas just asked when he was bathing her yesterday.However, she had not even answered him.Back then, no matter how grave the conflict between her and Lorraine was, Zachary had always shielded her and wronged Lorrai
A hint of gentleness appeared in Zachary’s cold eyes.Garrison stood by the side like a sculpture, his attractive face filled with sorrow.This was the wedding house that both he and Charlotte shared.Although Garrison had never had the opportunity to seal the deal and make their couple title sexually official ever since he married Charlotte, he only needed to hold Charlotte’s hand and hug her every time she returned home in order to feel extremely steadfast and satisfied.At that moment, all three of them were in their wedding room, but Garrison felt like he was the superfluous third wheel.“Bad Uncle, why are you holding mommy’s hand? Daddy told me that only daddy could hold mommy’s hand. It’s illegal for other boys to hold mommy’s hand, and they’ll be shot.”This puerile voice sounded all of a sudden just like a silver bell.Only then did Zachary let go of Charlotte’s hand and looked at the cute little baby who was sitting on the sofa. A hint of warmth flashed across the frig
‘Zachary has never been as gentle with me as he is with Naomi!’Upon thinking of this, while Charlotte felt extremely delighted, a trace of jealousy surged wildly in her heart.However, Zachary, who had all his attention focused on Naomi, did not notice Charlotte’s existence at all. He carried Naomi cautiously and walked into the bathroom.Garrison stared at him with an upset expression.After Charlotte placed the dishes down and went back into the kitchen, Garrison walked into the bathroom and told Zachary coldly, “You came over to my house this morning and stayed until now after bringing Naomi back from the mall. Who do you think you are? You’re a mere outsider.”Zachary’s dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed. “This is my wife and daughter’s home, which means it’s my home too. I’m not an outsider.”“Oh?!” Garrison sneered, holding back his anger. “Zachary Connor, you should know this better than anyone! You and Carlie divorced officially four years ago, so how is she your wife?
“Zachary Connor, you’re going overboard!” Garrison’s wrath distorted his face. “Although Carlie’s memory has recovered, others still don’t know the truth. Apart from the few of us, everyone else only knows that she’s Sotiria Green and she’s my wife. It’s nowhere near decent for you to want to stay at our house and spend the night with her! Aren’t you afraid that the public will treat us like a laughing stock?”Zachary was expressionless, and there was only indifference in his gloomy eyes. “I’ve been thinking about Charlotte non-stop for the past four years or so. I’m willing to do anything just to earn a minute with her. Now that God has sent her back to me out of mercy. I’ll cherish every moment I can spend with her from now on. So as long as I have the opportunity to be with her, I’ll never separate from her again. So what if I become the laughing stock of the whole world?”After leaving these parting words, he indifferently pulled his gaze away from Garrison’s face and walked to C
Although her memory had recovered, she knew that Zachary was now a married man and another woman’s husband. Therefore, she had come back to Rothesay and seduced Zachary just to make him come back to life and return to his normal state. She had never thought of developing an intimate relationship with Zachary.However, Zachary had still managed to win her over forcibly...She would not let such a ridiculous thing happen again before she got back with Zachary officially.Charlotte was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she got into bed.She got up very early the next morning, and as soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Zachary reading his novel in front of the French windows in the living room.She blinked in disbelief.In the past, when she’d lived with Zachary in the Divine Sanctuary District, Zachary used to stand in front of the French windows every morning to read.Now, watching Zachary read early in her house made her feel a little bewildered...Charlotte gr
“Because of the misunderstanding that we had about you, of course!” Quintessa, who had arrived in front of Charlotte, held Charlotte’s hand enthusiastically.“Tiria, although we like to gossip about others, we aren’t vicious at heart, but your reputation was indeed really bad in the past. All of us know about your deeds, so we looked down on you and formed a group to target you. Sigh! If we had known that it was your vicious stepmother who harmed you like that and caused you to go downhill, we wouldn’t have said sadistic things to you before.”Charlotte was even more confused. “My stepmother, Virginia Swenson... She’s indeed a vicious woman. However, Quintessa, how did you know about her?”“Hey! I’m not the only one. I think the whole of Rothesay, the whole country, even the whole world knows about it now!”Quintessa took out her cell phone and leaned in front of Charlotte. “Look, this is an announcement made by our city’s police department on their official website last night. It
The man at the door had a cold and stern look on his face. He stared fixedly at Charlotte and calmly said, “Miss Green, we know you’re not selling paintings today. We’re here on Mr. Connor’s orders.”‘Huh? So Zachary knows that I’m here…’Charlotte immediately lowered her defenses. “Why did Zachary send you here?”The man continued staring at her face. “Miss Green, Mr. Connor has asked us to deliver an expensive gift for you. May we come in?”Charlotte’s curiosity was piqued, so she stepped aside from the doorway.“Come in.”The man walked into the gallery.Two other men followed closely behind him as he walked in. The last man to enter closed the door behind him. Charlotte immediately asked, “Why leave me hanging? What present did Zachary ask you to give to me?”The man didn’t answer. Instead, he slipped his right hand into his pocket and pulled out a handgun with a pre-installed silencer.Charlotte burst into laughter when she saw the black gun. “Hah! So after all that
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
