“You slapped Tiff off the stage and threw her within an inch of her life, yet you are acting so cold and heartless. Now that Tiff’s life is no longer in danger, you’re actually here to see her? What’s with this disingenuous gesture?”Bryson was immediately enraged by the sight of Charlotte.Charlotte curled her lips into a tiny smile. “You’re right, I am being disingenuous. What’s it to you? So Tiffany’s the only one who gets to put on an act to slander me? I’m not allowed to put on an act to prove my innocence?”“Heh.”Bryson laughed in spite of his rage.Charlotte’s pretense used to fool him in the past. He used to think that she was pure and kind.Even though Charlotte had sent a group of men to hurt Tiffany, Bryson had tried to step into her shoes. Perhaps she had been overwhelmed by her feelings for him. That was why she had lost control and been so cruel to Tiffany…Now, he had truly seen through her.Charlotte’s heart had always been black. She was beyond help!“Oh Bryc
“You know exactly what I mean.”Zachary’s tone was indolent. He knew that Tiffany would not confess, so he did not argue with her anymore. Instead, he issued a lofty command, “You said you’d never confess, so I’ll give you an hour. Make a public statement to clarify the truth voluntarily, or you won’t be the only one dead. Your entire family will die with you.”Tiffany heard a buzzing noise in her mind.Before she could say anything, Bryson lost control and rose to his feet.“You’ve gone too far, Zachary Connor! You were right there in the front row with me when Tiff had her accident. You saw Charlotte slapping Tiff very clearly. Hasn’t Tiffany been through enough? Instead of making Charlotte apologize to Tiff, you’re forcing her to twist the facts and clear Charlotte’s name?”‘What? Zachary was at the concert too? He’s stated very clearly in our prenup that I’m not allowed to cause any trouble. So… He should be preventing me from causing trouble, right? Why didn’t he stop me? Why
“Charlotte, I’m warning you… Tell Zachary to stop or— Mmph!”A strip of duct tape was slapped firmly onto Bryson’s mouth, silencing him.Lucas, who had gagged him, waved the roll of duct tape, looking very pleased with himself. “Save your strength. Second Master wants you to shut up and enjoy the show. It’s for your own good. This is an exciting show.”Bryson couldn’t make a sound, and his face had turned red.Two strong bodyguards grabbed one of his arms each, so he couldn’t move either. All he could do was watch everything, with wide-eyed nervousness.‘Tiffany Miller! The woman I love!’After Tiffany’s rape, he had knelt before her battered and bruised body and sworn with tears in his eyes—from then on, he would never let anyone hurt her again.Today, however, he had been forced to stand by her bed and watch as Zachary pushed her around!‘No! Charlotte must have manipulated Zachary into this. Charlotte’s the one behind Tiff’s suffering! Charlotte, again!’Zachary glanced at
“You troublemaker!”“You’re a curse! A curse!” Tiffany’s mother immediately stopped talking because there was a sharp knife against her throat.Her face drained of color, while her eyes widened as she stared at the camera, weeping. Two other knives were placed against Tiffany’s father and brother’s necks at the same time.Tiffany went into a daze when she saw this. She was so shocked that she forgot to continue weeping.Tiffany’s parents did not treat her well. Many years ago, Tiffany’s parents had forced her into breaking up with Bryson and moving to Burasia. Nevertheless, she cared for her parents. Her brother, Eugene, was the most important person in the world to her.Tiffany never thought that Zachary’s power would be this terrifying. He had swiftly managed to detain her family, who lived far away in another country. He had an accurate grasp of her weakness…“You will face two possibilities in one hour. Either publicly clear my wife’s name and your family is safe, or continue
Bryson made the call for a meeting with his team of professionals, and they filmed a short video for Tiffany in the ward.In the video, Tiffany raised her hand and solemnly swore, “I have lost sleep for three consecutive nights to prepare for this concert, so I forced myself to keep my energy levels up during the concert. I would feel dizzy at times. When I tried to stop Carlie from walking off stage, I was so dizzy that I was close to collapsing. By sheer coincidence, I was already blacking out when Carlie slapped me. So even if she hadn’t slapped me, I would have fainted and rolled off stage anyway. Therefore, Carlie had nothing to do with this incident. I understand that my fans have been cursing Carlie, and I’ve been feeling guilty. I’m also grateful to have survived this, or Carlie might have ended up shouldering these false accusations for the rest of her life. Carlie paid me a visit at the hospital immediately after the incident, so please stop cursing at her.”No one would ha
Bryson had been her fiancé for four years, so he knew better than anyone else that Charlotte was no goody two shoes. She was perfectly capable of retaliating and condemning others. However, she only condemned the ones she truly hated.Now, she had condemned him.This woman had put him on a pedestal, constantly thought of him, and loved him to her very bones for four years… Now, he had been reduced to an object of her deepest hatred…“You saw how my husband, Zachary, threatened Tiffany. You watched it all with your own eyes. Then she turns around and tells you that she’s doing it willingly, and you believed her? Hah…”Charlotte laughed disdainfully every time she thought of how Bryson had completely lost his decision-making skills, completely consumed by Tiffany’s lies. He believed everything she said.“It’s no wonder Michael says you’re nothing but a chess piece in Tiffany’s hands. Serves you right, Bryson! You deserve to be deceived by that snake, Tiffany, so deceived that you wo
She watched as Bryson’s face turned purple, and his body struggled. However, Zachary’s eyes were like knives—there was no sign of an intent to release him.Charlotte wrapped her arms around Zachary’s arm, the one he was using to strangle Bryson, in panic. “Zachary, wake up. Let go… Let go!” She used every fiber of her being, but she couldn’t move him at all. Zachary was so strong that it was like he was made of metal. Charlotte broke into a cold sweat. She steeled herself and prepared to bite the back of Zachary’s hand.Just as she opened her mouth, Zachary relaxed his grip.“Gasp… Cough, cough, cough!” Bryson curled himself into a ball, taking deep breaths. His heart rate, which had slowed to a near stop, was increasing again.He knew, without a doubt, that Zachary would have strangled him to death if Charlotte hadn’t stopped him.“I’ll let you live… for now.” A cold, icy tone slipped through Zachary’s lips. “However, I’ve warned you before. If you ever touch my wife again, I
One of them said coldly, “Do you want to stretch out your hands by yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?”Bryson raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Come on. We’ll see who will come out on top!”The two bodyguards approached Bryson with an intent to kill, and one of them took out a dagger.Upon witnessing this scene, Charlotte was so frightened that her legs became feeble. Nonetheless, she still managed to muster up the courage to step out. “Don’t hurt Bryson!”The ferocious bodyguards both stopped obediently at that moment. They were carrying out President Connor’s orders, and no one else could ever stop them from doing their job—except Charlotte!Who was Charlotte? President Connor had given very specific instructions to his personal bodyguards that they must obey Charlotte unconditionally.Bryson was startled slightly. He then looked at Charlotte’s eyes and could not help but feel the warmth while experiencing a shock.At that moment, Zachary’s footsteps stopped for a
