Charlotte watched in silence as he was talking over the phone.Zachary, who looked as regal as royalty, had become accustomed to hiding his true emotions. However, Charlotte could still sense the solemnity that his eyebrows currently exuded.She knew that Zachary wanted to see their son as much as she did.Zachary had the same feeling as her too. While he was ecstatic, he was also worried an accident might have happened…‘He should feel as heavy deep down as I am!’However, he had been by her side without letting his emotions loose, comforting her when she lost her composure and acted irrationally.Zachary hung up the phone and got out of the car. He then got into the driver’s seat and rushed to the airport.A gorgeous woman in a blue uniform greeted him as soon as she saw his car arriving. She opened the door for him and whispered softly, “Mr. Connor, we’ve prepared a private plane for you. We can take off at any time.”Zachary did not even take a glance at the woman but only
Zachary did not know how to comfort Charlotte, so he could only sit next to her and embrace her in his arms.Looking back, he was the one who had thought that Charlotte was insane when she told him the truth in person after she learned that Poopoo was their son.The reason he thought so was not that he did not believe Charlotte but because he had a lot of trust in Jebediah and Lorraine. It had never crossed his mind that the ones who he once regarded as two of the most important people in his life would join hands to deceive him!However, he would never let something like that happen between him and Charlotte once again.Jebediah Valentine!Lorraine Larson!They were dead in his heart.He would only trust Charlotte from now on, never doubting her again whenever she bad-mouthed anyone, no matter how unbelievable Charlotte’s words may seem.Zachary’s private plane arrived in Bay City in just over half an hour.No. 1206, Unit 7, Flat 27, Pretty Scenes Residence—this was the addre
“People who are familiar with Lillian and David know that they can’t have kids, but they suddenly had a son four years ago. So everyone knows for the fact that they’ve adopted that child.”“Julian, he’s smart and cute, so everyone who has met that child loves him. We often discuss in private just how cruel his biological parents were. How could they be willing to abandon such a beloved son? So it turns out that you were separated!““About this…” Charlotte became anxious as she did not expect the woman to talk so much. “Yes, madam, we really want to see our son now, so can you please help us contact them?”The woman shook her head. “I can’t help you to get in touch with them anymore. You guys are too late!”‘What!?’A high-pitched note echoed in Charlotte’s mind. “Madam, what do you mean by that? What do you mean by… We’re too late!”“That’s just how it is. Lillian, David, and Julian suddenly disappeared three days ago.” The woman shook her head. “The whole situation just sounds u
At that moment, even Charlotte, who was feeling depressed, was deeply shocked by Zachary’s cold gaze.She asked in surprise, “What are you going to do to Lorraine?”Zachary looked in the southern sky from afar.To the south, that was where Rothesay was located.“Let’s go back to Rothesay and find her.”Zachary called Lucas immediately afterward.Zachary had always been as cold as an iceberg. However, even if he had been ruthless toward others, he always acted much gentler than usual when he was with Charlotte.But now, even Charlotte could clearly sense his indifference, which made her understand that he must be in as much agony as she was.She also knew that Zachary was a person who always liked to carry all his emotions and digest them silently by himself. Thus, she did not bother him anymore and tried not to talk to him on the way back to Rothesay.Soon, the plane got back to Rothesay.Lucas, who was already waiting at the airport, greeted Zachary in a hurry and said to hi
Zachary opened the car door next to her.Standing outside the car, Zachary glanced coldly at Lorraine, who was on the edge of the cliff. His clear voice felt like it was a cold breeze gusting from the top of a snow-capped mountain. It sounded cold and merciless. “Don’t you have something to ask her?”Charlotte was rendered speechless for a moment as the corners of her lips twitched. “Yes…”She then got out of the car and walked straight to Lorraine.“Milady, wait a moment!” Lucas trotted two steps forward instantly and blocked her way. “I heard about the things that Ms. Larson did to you. Yes, she’s not worthy of any sympathy and pity. However, Milady, I’ll still advise you to calm down. After all, you’re not a murderer, are you?”Charlotte raised her eyebrows, revealing her merciless eyes. “So, are you worried that I’ll kill her?”Lucas nodded helplessly.A trace of mockery and self-deprecation evoked the corners of Charlotte’s lips. “See! Luke, even a bystander like you is say
Zachary responded without any hesitation. “Naturally, I’ll believe my wife.”“I knew it, I knew it…” Lorraine closed her eyes in pain, and two streams of tears gushed downward over her delicate cheeks. “Hehe, I suddenly found myself so stupid and naive. Back then, when I still had an impressive image in your heart, you still favored her and acted indifferent to me no matter what you came across. And now, you’ll surely believe her even more than back then. What am I when placed in comparison with her?”Zachary smirked and said nothing, as if he was admitting that with his silence.Lorraine then continued. “I finally understand today that the Zachary, who loved, pampered, and regarded me as an existence that was more important than his life, died the moment he met Charlotte, and he is never coming back!”Zachary did not reply to any of her sentences. Instead, a trace of contempt could be seen flashing in between his thick and dark brows.Lorraine, who was filled with resentment, sai
Lorraine actually laughed out loud.She glared at Charlotte. Her gaze looked as resentful as a poisonous viper while her smile made her face go distorted, just like a witch from a fairy tale who had taken her hypocritical mask off, revealing her vicious face.“Charlotte Simmons, you’re a vixen who broke into Zachary’s life while I had a misunderstanding with him. I hate you, you shameless b*tch! I shall curse you to never see Poopoo again in your life. I’ll never tell you where he is! Now get your f*cking *ss down to hell already!”Charlotte’s gaze and voice became even colder. “I’ve given you a chance, but since you don’t appreciate it, then I won’t be merciless to you this time around!”“Oh?” Lorraine laughed. “I’m rather curious, Charlotte Simmons! How can a sl*t like you show me no mercy?”Charlotte raised her finger and pointed to the cliff. “You were lucky enough to survive four years ago after I pushed you down the cliff from here. I don’t believe that you can still be so l
The two men winked at each other and then tacitly grabbed her by one arm and pulled her feet off the ground.One of them said, “Ms. Larson, you had fallen from here once. You should know that the abyss underneath this cliff is covered with poisonous brambles. You can’t be as lucky as you were back then this time. Even if you don’t die immediately when we throw you down from here, you’ll still be pricked by poisonous thorns. We won’t know how much agony you’ll still have to suffer before you die from the poison…“Therefore, when we throw you down, we’ll try our best to make sure your head hits the ground first. That way, you’ll die straight from the fall and suffer less.”Lorraine’s body trembled vigorously.She had already embraced her death wish completely this time. At that moment, she turned her head and looked at Zachary again.However, Zachary was still standing in front of the car with his back facing her. He obviously had the authority to save her life with just a single wo
