“I would never go back on my word. Ask away.”Tiffany pushed her hatred away and put on a calm, sincere front. She did not seem vexed about losing the contest at all.Charlotte got to the point without hesitation. “First question: Five years ago, you were living peacefully in Burasia with your family. Why the sudden return to Rothesay ten months ago?”“Huh? Is that true? Tiffany only returned to the country ten months ago?”“Eh… Hang on! Even super-fans like us aren’t aware of this secret. How’d this woman find out about it? Is she here to expose Tiffany’s secrets?”This was only Charlotte’s first question, yet it had already caused a huge uproar among the audience.“My past is clean. There’s no need to poke around,” Tiffany hurriedly replied. “Yes, it’s true. I moved to Burasia with my parents five years ago, but my nationality remains the same. This is my native land. It’s where I come from. During my time away from the country, I was like a wandering ghost. I missed my hometow
“Tiffany, I’m not going to continue this charade with you anymore. Our connections run deep. Your fiancé was my useless ex-husband, who abandoned me. Are you sure we’re strangers?”“Holy… sh*t! She’s here to make Tiffany pay for what she’s done to her!”“Based on what she’s said, Tiffany must have stolen her husband from her…”“Weren’t you listening? She said her useless husband abandoned her because of Tiffany!”“Uh… What on earth is going on?”The audience was in an uproar.Bryson’s face became even more sullen than ever.Zachary, on the other hand, was smirking.Tiffany had never thought that Charlotte would be mad enough to expose her completely. She stared at Charlotte in shock, unable to say anything at all. Only her small hand, which was holding the microphone, was shaking uncontrollably.“My name is Charlotte Simmons! That’s right, I’m the girl all those rumors talked about. The one who was kicked to the curb after giving birth to Bryson’s child.”Charlotte mercilessl
‘But where is Bryce?’She needed him to show himself and stand up for her now more than ever. Why hadn’t he come on stage?Furthermore, the security guards should have rushed on stage and forced Charlotte to leave when she had asked her first aggressive question. ‘Why isn’t anyone helping me? What’s my entourage doing?’Tiffany’s fans were staring at her and waiting for Bryce to make an appearance and prove her innocence.However, Bryson never appeared on stage.Meanwhile, Bryson was panicking, and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead.He had already heard about Charlotte’s exposé from Michael. Even though he believed in Tiffany’s innocence, he had personally flown to Burasia to investigate just to shut Michael up…In the end, those who knew Tiffany had simply showered her with praise. No one had mentioned anything about Michael’s accusations…Michael was really fond of Charlotte, and his accusations were excusable. However, what could possibly have gotten into him? Wh
Tiffany dashed toward Charlotte and reached out to grab her as she cried out in her clear, soft, pretty voice.The sight of the “victimized” look on Tiffany’s face and her outstretched hands drawing closer and closer to her made Charlotte’s deep-rooted hatred for her reach its peak.“Don’t touch me!” She snapped in disgust, raised her hand, and slapped Tiffany right across the face.Smack!The clear sound of the slap was magnified by the microphone in Tiffany’s hand, echoing clearly throughout the large plaza.Thud!Tiffany’s microphone landed on the ground.Then, Charlotte watched as Tiffany’s frail figure swayed like grass in the wind, collapsed onto the ground, and rolled down the stage’s steps.“Oh no! This is bad!”“She’s dead!”Members from the audience screamed.Charlotte’s mind went blank at first. By the time she returned to her senses and turned her gaze off stage, Tiffany was already sprawled on the ground beneath the stage. She was lying with her face to the sky,
“You…”Bryson was spitting from anger. His handsome face was now so twisted that he no longer looked like himself at all. “Charlotte Simmons! Remember this. If anything happens to her, I will make you pay.”“Oh, really?”Charlotte’s heart grew colder and colder. She continued forcing herself to remain resolute.“You’ve really scared me, Bryson. You’ve been dead to me for a long time. There’s no need for any reservations between us. If you don’t mind, perhaps you could clarify one thing for me? How do you plan on making me pay if anything happens to Tiffany?”“If Tiffany dies, I’ll make sure you die too, you murderer.” The man, who was consumed by sadness and rage, seethed, enunciating every word like a curse.‘Heh…’This time, Charlotte felt no pain. In fact, the corners of her lips curled into a smirk. “It’s strange how I’ve never realized how stupid you are. Have you no common legal knowledge? Even if she did die, I’d be charged with manslaughter and sent to jail at most. I
She could finally heave a sigh of relief.She pushed the car door open. Just as she was about to climb into the vehicle, a cold, magnetic voice called out to her in a frosty tone. “Where are you going?”“GAH!” Charlotte screamed and dropped her keys on the ground.She whirled around, too rattled to pick up her keys. As expected, she came face to face with the man’s ice-cold features, which were colder than an ice mountain yet more splendid and magnificent than all the beautiful landscapes in the world…“Zachary!” Charlotte cried out his name in alarm. “How long have you been standing behind me? Are… Are you stalking me?”Zachary’s eyes were cold. She couldn’t see any trace of emotion on his face at all. His tone was indifferent as he said, “Sometimes, having a stalker can be a good thing. It may come in handy when it comes to preventing a gang fight.”Charlotte entered a daze.Then, she suddenly understood why Tiffany’s fans had out of the blue retreated instead of attacking her
‘Huh?’Charlotte stiffened.However, Zachary said, “You need to go to the hospital.”Charlotte was even more confused than ever.“Tiffany will be sent to the hospital soon. You need to go with her.” Zachary’s tone was just as indifferent as ever and contained no emotion at all.Charlotte, on the other hand, stormed off immediately like a prickled lioness. “No, I’m not going! She brought this upon herself. I don’t regret slapping her at all! I’m not going to the hospital with her, and I’m certainly not going to apologize!”Charlotte lifted her head, completely forgetting her fears, and looked straight into Zachary’s abstruse eyes. Zachary did not get angry, and his face did not turn sullen. Instead, the corners of his lips curled into a mystifying smile. “Are you implying that you don’t want my support?”‘What? He’s not punishing me for causing trouble? He’s going to support me? Why do I feel as if I’m in a dream?’Charlotte blinked. “Am I hearing things? Zachary… You want to
‘Is he Superman? Does he have telescopic vision?’“Hah! Hello, milady. You have such a lovely voice, but you have an even lovelier personality.” The flattering exclamation signaled Lucas’s gleeful arrival. Charlotte waved at Lucas and smiled knowingly.“Yo, hello!”Zachary’s gaze darkened terrifyingly. Charlotte rarely smiled at him. Even if she did, her smile was an unnatural, forced smile.In stark contrast, she would always talk to Lucas in a sweet voice, gesturing calmly and smiling easily…‘Looks like I’ll give Lucas a warning and tell him to watch himself whenever he’s with Mrs. Connor!’“Sir, I… Oh!” Lucas’s voice cracked when he saw the murderous look in Zachary’s eyes. ‘Alright, I understand! Mrs. Connor is probably oblivious, but the Second Master is consumed by jealousy. Forget about a man like me. I’m afraid that if Mrs. Connor had a pet, the Second Master would be extremely jealous of that pet too. I should probably stop talking to Mrs. Connor in front of the S
