Charlotte’s mind was buzzing. She took at least three seconds to calm down before she could find her voice again.“I know her, but… Mel… That’s impossible! It can’t be her!”“The assassin’s phone clearly shows records of Melina Shore’s order. Look, there are records of bank transfers that Melina sent to the assassins. Last night at 11.09 p.m., Melina Shore sent 120 Black Coins to these assassins. If converted to US dollars, it would be equivalent to $185,000.”The policeman showed Charlotte the phone. Charlotte stared fixedly at the bright phone screen. Melina’s charming and foxy face seemed to appear before her eyes.Melina had attacked her one month ago. She had sent two ugly men to rape her, then inject her with a kind of drug that would reduce her to a useless being.Luckily, Zachary had saved her in time.Later, Charlotte made Melina pay the price, thanks to Zachary’s help…That day, Charlotte could have posted Melina’s exploits with the two ugly men online, but she didn’
“Lies?”The haggard-looking Meline gnashed her teeth. Her eyes filled with disdain. “You’re wrong, Sotiria. I’m not a hypocrite like you. When I hate someone, I stay away from them. When I like someone and truly want to be their friend, I would take the initiative to approach them. Every word I said that day came from the bottom of my heart.”Charlotte was confused. In the next second, she heard Melina speaking with a bitter smile. “But I was blind. I never thought that you would be such a two-faced b*tch, Sotiria Green. You were just toying with me when you gave me that USB drive and told me to destroy the video. You never planned on leaving me alone. You just wanted to make things even worse for me!”Charlotte was even more stunned.“I thought that matter was resolved long ago? Why are you bringing it up now? I don’t understand what you’re saying.”“Oh, really?”Melina was trembling from top to toe. Her eyes filled with tears. “Stop pretending, Sotiria. You may have given
“Oh?” Lorraine, who was in the middle of doing her makeup in the dressing room on set, looked at her reflection in the mirror. Her gaze suddenly turned ice-cold. “What did I do? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”“Oh, really?”Charlotte smirked. “Stop pretending, Lorraine. Your evil plan didn’t work. The police have apprehended Melina, so you can forget about manipulating her into attacking me again!”Lorraine was shocked as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head.Charlotte’s sneering voice quietly rang aloud again, “I know how paranoid you are. You’re afraid that I’m recording you. So you’d never tell the truth on the phone. Where are you? I’ll meet you there.”Lorraine took a while to calm herself before finding her voice again.“Virtual World.”Charlotte’s heart went into turmoil when she heard the name. Then, she icily said, “Wait for me.”She ended the call, then went home to collect her car and sped off to Virtual World. She was very f
“Oh?”Lorraine pretended to look surprised. “So, what are you trying to ask me?”Charlotte stared icily at Lorraine’s incomparably beautiful face.“My intuition tells me that you’re the one who sent that video to Melina’s husband. You wanted to make Melina hate me, that’s why you used that as a way to sow animosity between us. But I don’t understand. How did you get that video?”“Alright, we hate each other very much. Since you’ve managed to guess, I have no need to hide it from you. I’ll just be straight with you…”Lorraine, who was as beautiful as a fairy, complacently stroked her smooth hair.“Last month, Zach hired those two ugly men to humiliate Melina, just to stand up for you. You ended up giving Melina that USB drive in the end. Then, Melina destroyed that USB drive in front of you, and she walked away. Then, you and Zach left as well. However, no one bothered to deal with the remnants of that USB drive.”At this point, Charlotte could already guess that this mess had st
Only big-budget and large-scale films were allowed to shoot in Virtual World.Over the past few years, ever since the stunningly beautiful Lorraine entered the entertainment industry, she received increasing love and adoration from fans. Now her popularity had risen to the first spot among the nation’s female celebrities.However, a majority of Lorraine’s popularity relied on variety of show appearances. This had been her first acting job…In order to boost her fame, Jebediah had poured quite a lot of money into her first film. That year, Charlotte had set the world on fire, simply with her movie The First Sorceress Princess. To this day, Charlotte/Allegra was still regarded as the “ultimate female artist” whom none could ever surpass.According to rumor, this historical film that Lorraine was starring in had set The First Sorceress Princess as a benchmark. Lorraine wanted to use this movie as a means to pull Charlotte off her pedestal.‘Lorraine Larson! She’s committed so many
“You’re here again, Sotiria. It makes sense! You must be eager to see me in pain. Now that you’ve found out that I’m close to death, you obviously came to gloat and make me feel worse!”Charlotte slowly stepped closer to Melina with tears in her eyes.“Why do you always see the worst in me? Did I make you feel bad or gloat when we met downstairs at your home after you were caught?”Melina was stunned. Then, she sneered. “What are you doing here, then?”“I want to tell you the truth.”Charlotte was now in front of Melina. She gently held her hand. “I’m not lying, I didn’t send that video to your husband. I’ve done a thorough investigation on the real culprit who sent the video to your husband.”Extreme shock caused Melina to forget to swat Charlotte’s hand away.She was beginning to believe in Charlotte’s words.Because if Charlotte really had sent that video to Mario, she would be happy to see her in dire straits since she was hell-bent on hurting her…Charlotte was actually g
Jebediah, who was never really surprised, actually displayed a clear sense of panic on his handsome, god-like face.“We had an agreement that day, and you said you’d spare her and our child as long as I refrain from helping Lorraine to hurt you. Why are you saying that you’re going to end her today?”Charlotte’s eyes turned cold. Her voice filled with determination.“Because I’ve had enough!”Jebediah could feel Charlotte’s rage, even on the phone. He tried his best to remain calm.“So, how do you plan on ending her?”Charlotte curled her lips. Her tear-stained face was cold and icy.“I want to avenge myself, just like I did four years ago. However, this time, I won’t slip up. I’ll shoot her in the head so that she and your baby will go to hell together.”“Ah!”Jebediah lost his composure and let out a cry. His voice was clearly trembling.“Charlotte, acting rash won’t solve anything. You already had one lesson that year. Let’s talk about this! Where are you? We’ll discuss th
“Of course I want to!” Jebediah replied without any hesitation.Charlotte sneered.“Then, you will go with me to Zachary today and help me expose all the bad things she has done.”“No! I can’t do that!” Jebediah shook his head decisively. “Don’t let your imagination run wild, Charlotte Simmons. I can promise you that I won’t help her anymore, but I won’t help you do anything more than that. She already hates me right now, and if I help you expose her, she’ll hate me for the rest of her life.”“Really?” Charlotte lifted her tearful face up triumphantly. “Then, just wait to collect her and your child’s bodies!” After that, she turned around and walked down the bridge.“Charlotte, if this is what you’ve got for me, then I might as well be frank with you.” Jebediah’s gaze was cold, and his face grim as he watched at her figure that was disappearing into the mist.“If you really do something to Lory, not only will I kill you, but I will also kill your father and your daughter to
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
