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
‘Lorraine! She’s truly a vicious and terrifying woman.’Therefore, Charlotte’s heart has been perturbed after mistakenly thinking that Lorraine was the one hiding Poopoo away from her. Now that she knew that the person who caused Poopoo’s disappearance was a kidnapper, Charlotte felt a lot more relieved.‘Poopoo! My baby boy!‘I liked him so much back then, but I mistakenly thought that Lorraine strangled him to death when I first learned that he was my son. However, I can finally reunite with him now!‘How I wish I could reunite with him soon!’At that moment, Lucas, who had been sitting in the driver’s seat all this while, let out a long sigh. “Second Master, Milady, after what’s happened this time, I advise you not to be so emotional again in the future. If Ms. Larson was really thrown down the cliff just down, just how wrong the whole thing would’ve been?”“Wrong?” Zachary’s gaze and voice were cold. “Are you taking pity on her?”“This…” Lucas was frightened when he looked a
Zachary’s car had long disappeared from the winding road, while Lorraine was still staring at the position where his car was the moment before disappearing. She then said in a daze, “Because dying like this is more meaningful than staying alive.”“Lory!” Jebediah’s hands that were helping Lorraine untie the rope originally froze. “It’s always better to live than to die! How can you be so pessimistic!?”Lorraine’s lips trembled, and her eyes were tearful. “Did you not see? After Zachary learned of the things I had done, he was so indifferent to me as if I were his enemy…“In the past, I used to be the person that he pampered and cared about! But, now… Whenever I exchange gazes with him, whenever I hear the tone of his voice, and whenever I think that he’s so determined and ruthless toward me, I feel that dying is better living.”Jebediah looked at her lovingly. He opened his thin lips but could not utter a single word, so he could just listen to Lorraine’s complaints.“Do you know,
Charlotte saw Jordan and Naomi sitting on the carpet, playing with building blocks.Seeing Charlotte, Naomi dropped the blocks, ran to her in a hurry, and threw herself into her arms. “Mommy, it was Sister Jordan who brought me home. She also bought me my favorite chocolate. Sister Jordan is so nice, and I’m so happy.”Charlotte pinched Naomi’s tender face. “Yeah, Sister Jordan is so kind, and mommy is so happy too.”At this time, Jordan approached Charlotte, habitually adjusted her black-framed glasses, and smiled slightly.“When you left the other day, you asked me if I could handle a part-time job at your place and take care of Naomi. And I told you that our company stipulates that the assistant of the president can’t have part-time jobs.”Charlotte nodded.Jordan continued. “Sigh! But, I used to spend time with Naomi almost every day in the past. I’ve been feeling like something is missing ever since I stopped seeing her. As such, I risked being criticized by the president an
Upon hearing what Mr. Gold said, Charlotte’s curiosity became stronger and stronger.She walked quickly to the front of the yard and saw a white Bugatti Veyron parked under the plane tree in front of the yard from a distance. It was vaguely visible that a man wearing sunglasses was sitting in the driver’s seat.At that moment, the man saw Charlotte, so he opened the car door and got out of the car.Charlotte did not recognize who he was for a while. She only saw that he was wearing a black suit that looked new, immaculate, and outstanding.When he took off his sunglasses, Charlotte could not help being surprised after seeing his appearance.“Mr. Barkley, it’s you!”“So, you do remember me…” The man sighed. “Carlie, do you know? Although I know many artists and celebrities, you’re the one that goes through my mind most often after working with you. If you still remember me, why haven’t you contacted me even once after regaining your memory?”“This…” Charlotte shrugged awkwardly.
Dickson did not only hope that she would do well sincerely but also wanted to do everything in his power to create opportunities for her to make her shine like a dazzling pearl.“Oh, by the way, Zenios also told me that your appearance could easily be restored to what it used to be. So, Carlie, this is the deal. When you’ve undergone the restoration surgery, we’ll come together again and start filming the sequel of “The First Sorceress Princess”, okay?”Dickson’s mellow voice echoed in front of Charlotte.‘Wait a minute! Zachary only brought me to the doctor this morning. Only Zachary, the doctor, and I were present when the doctor told me that my appearance could be restored very easily. How did Zenios know about this?’Charlotte was stunned for a while and then nodded. “Okay… However, I have a very important matter to deal with now. I will undergo the operation after I’m done with it.”Dickson smiled kindly and said warmly, “In order to shoot this sequel, I’ve organized multiple
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
