It turned out that she had been holding a fruit knife in her right hand underneath the blanket. After she lifted the blanket, she mustered up all her strength and plunged the knife into Charlotte’s chest. “Pfft!”The sharp end of the fruit knife made contact with something soft.However, it was not Charlotte’s chest. Instead, it was the mattress. Charlotte knew something was wrong with Lorraine and she must be up to no good. Thus, she had kept her guard up around Lorraine, which was why she’d been able to dodge the strike in time. After Lorraine missed, her knife stabbed deep into the mattress. Lorraine had not expected that Fu Zhi would be able to evade her ambush with such practiced ease. She was slightly stunned but she refused to give up just like that. She pulled the knife out of the mattress and threw herself at Charlotte again. This time, Charlotte did not dodge the attack. Instead, she grabbed Lorraine’s wrist with deadly accuracy. Then, she twisted it down with all h
Charlotte did not say anything in return. She just continued to approach her with a grim expression. When she arrived in front of Lorraine, she grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and pulled it over. Lorraine was already very weak, and after experiencing psychological trauma and a miscarriage, she had become even weaker. There was nothing she could do, so she could only let Charlotte press her right wrist on the bed.Lorraine became even more nervous.“Charlotte, I know you’re very angry right now, but you must not let your emotions get the best of you. Four years ago, you used a knife to… Argh!”She let out a pained scream before she could even finish her sentence. This was because Charlotte had plunged the sharp fruit knife into her palm with all her might. The sharp end of the knife punctured her palm and stabbed deeply into the mattress.“Argh… My hand, my hand… It hurts!”Lorraine was in excruciating pain. She lay on the bed with her hand on her head as she howled.
“The reason Lory went astray is that she loves Zachary too much. Right now, she looks like she's been possessed by a demon. I'm not sure if she will do anything stupid in the future or not... Sigh!”Garrison placed both his hands on Charlotte’s shoulders as he looked at her and pleaded. “Carlie, I know it's a lot to ask, but can we treat Lory as a mental patient? If she does something stupid again in the future, can you promise me that you will try your best to forgive her? I believe that she will eventually come around to her senses sooner or later. Can you promise me that?”“But…”For a moment, Charlotte had the urge to tell Garrison okay. She knew that Garrison was the same as Zachary. Both of them were prideful and would never beg anyone if it were not absolutely necessary.Right now, Garrison was begging her.She knew that this brother, who loved his sister immensely, was too afraid that something might happen to his sister. That's why he acted like this. Besides, Garriso
“What?!” The corner of Charlotte’s lips quivered.“I understand that it would only be a matter of time before you filed for divorce from her, but she just had a miscarriage, and I just used a fruit knife to… Erm… Anyway, she’s in pretty bad shape right now, so don’t you think it’d be a little cruel if you divorced her at this moment?”Zachary replied, “As I said, I have completely cut ties with her. She's no different from a stranger in my eyes now, so why should I show mercy to someone I don't know?”Charlotte opened her mouth, and her eyes widened as she stared at him. For a moment, she could not say anything.“If you don’t want to miss a good show, then follow me.”After saying that, Zachary continued walking down the corridor.Initially, Charlotte wanted to leave the hospital, for she didn't want to stay with Lorraine for one more second!However, she was very interested in this and wanted to stay back and watch when Zachary said he was going to divorce Lorraine.Garrison w
Zachary’s clear yet cruel voice continued to speak. “I asked for a divorce the day Carlie revealed her real identity, but you refused. Now, all your lies have been laid bare. I believe that you can’t possibly drag it out, regardless of how little pride you may have. Right?”Lorraine stared at him with a withered expression, crystalline tears drenching her face.That’s right! When Charlotte and Jebediah had collaborated to expose her, she had known that it was useless to drag it out with Zachary, no matter how much she tried…She knew that Zachary would ask for a divorce again.In the past, even after Zachary had discovered Charlotte’s real identity, he had been a little kinder to her on account of the fact that she had saved his life. Now, he had discovered everything she had done. She had no place in Zachary’s heart, so now that Zachary had asked for a divorce again, if she continued to drag her feet, he would make her suffer as if she were his enemy!“Since you’re not saying any
The man at the front of the group bowed before Zachary and said in a reverent tone, “Mr. Connor, may we carry Miss Larson now?”Zachary nodded quietly.The four men immediately made their way to the bedside, wrapped Lorraine with a blanket, and carried her. Then, they placed her in the wheelchair and whisked her out of the ward.Charlotte remained standing quietly behind Zachary the entire time, silently watching everything unfold.At this point, she knew more than ever that Zachary was a man who drew a clear line between love and hatred and was also cold and decisive.Since he had decided to break it off with Lorraine, he was treating her like the celebrities and socialites who threw themselves at him, with a cold and merciless demeanor.This also meant that in Zachary’s heart, Lorraine was non-existent!Zachary walked out of the ward.Garrison rushed in and blocked his way.“Zachary! How could you be so inhumane? Lory is suffering now. At a time when she needs concern most o
‘Heavens! Is Lorraine really that cruel? No wonder Jebediah, who’s as cold as an assassin, is so broken.’“Yes, that’s certainly too tragic for words…” Charlotte calmed herself. “But you can’t cry over spilled milk. You can’t turn back time and stop this tragedy from happening anyway, right?”Jebediah remained expressionless, unwilling to say another word.Charlotte added, “But you still have control of the future! See, Zachary had Lorraine carried off to get a divorce. I think that she will be even more broken once the divorce is finalized. She might even kill herself.”The mention of Lorraine committing suicide filled Jebediah with such anxiety that the dazed look in his eyes disappeared.Charlotte pointed at Zachary’s increasingly distant figure.“Garrison said it himself. She needs comfort now more than ever. If you still love her, why not take this chance and show her your concern? Who knows? Maybe once she’s completely given up on Zachary, she will remember your kindness. I
Charlotte panicked.“I don’t think it’s appropriate to discuss this now.”“Why is it inappropriate?” regal, perfect Zachary asked.“Well… Sigh!” Charlotte glanced at the employees who were eyeing her in a peculiar manner. She blushed from embarrassment. “I thought we discussed this? This time, I want to openly make those who’ve slandered me look at me in a new light. We can’t talk about getting married until I’ve announced my real identity!”Once she said that, she added, “Besides, I might not marry you again even after I’ve announced my real identity.”“What?”Zachary’s chiseled face immediately turned very dark.“Marrying you again has been my end game ever since I discovered your real identity, and now you’re suddenly telling me that you might not marry me at all?”Charlotte hung her head at the sight of his icy glare. Then, she tried her best to act naturally as she chuckled. “That’s right! Even though I mentioned that if you wanted me to marry you again, I must do it openl
