“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
Zachary was about to answer, but Charlotte, who heard the commotion from the car, quickly got out of the car. “We didn’t wrong her! Who else could’ve done such a thing besides her? Moreover, she confessed it herself.”Charlotte’s voice was calm.Jebediah seemed to have heard a clap of thunder that had struck on a sunny afternoon. He looked at Lorraine in disbelief. “Lory, you obviously didn’t do this. Why are you taking the blame for it!?”Lorraine, who had completely died from the inside, stared blankly at an unknown direction and refused to speak.After a while, Jebediah shifted his gaze back to Charlotte’s face. “You’re wrong. Lory didn’t do this.”“Really?” Charlotte smirked. “She’s your beloved woman, so you’ll naturally take her side when it comes to this!”“I’m not just taking her side. I have real evidence!” After speaking, Jebediah took his cell phone out of his pocket and threw it toward Charlotte from a distance.Thud! The black smartphone dropped on Charlotte’s fee
“How do I know if you’re not the one who deliberately arranged for someone to add you on Instagram and forged this chat record in order to save Lorraine?”Zachary’s melodious baritone sounded abruptly. “Zach, you’re the smartest person that I’ve ever met. I wouldn’t lie to you through such a clumsy method in order to save Lory.” Jebediah then pointed to his cell phone. “What’s more, the kidnapper said that he’d contact you again. You just have to get the cash that he wants ready, and everything will come to light when he contacts you, right?”Indifference and coldness were to sole emotions that could be found in Zachary’s gloomy eyes. “Back then, you had your hand in the matter of throwing Carlie off this cliff. I’ll start this off with the ugly fact first. I’ll throw you and Lorraine off this cliff together if I find out that you’re lying to me this time.”A handful of salt seemed to have been sprinkled and rubbed on the bleeding wounds found in Lorraine’s heart as she heard Zach
