Charlotte reached out her right hand to him. “Mr. Gold, give the paper to me. I’ll read it myself.”“Uh…”Despite his reluctance to show it to Charlotte, she insisted on reading it. Thus, Mr. Gold had no choice. He had to give it to her. Charlotte took the paper and focused on it. When she saw the words “This finger is from your son’s right thumb”, she immediately felt as if the room was spinning. She collapsed on the ground, face first.“Miss!”“What are you still standing there for? Get a wet towel!”“Oh!”The nanny rushed to grab a cold, wet towel. Mr. Gold used it as a cold compress on her for a while. Then Charlotte gradually woke up.She had accidentally dropped the paper on the floor when she collapsed. She picked it up with a trembling hand.“Miss, you’ve been so popular lately, perhaps this is a wicked deed from one of your haters, and they’re just pulling a prank on you? Don’t believe in any of this until you find Poopoo,” Mr. Gold gently consoled her.Charlotte’s fa
Charlotte didn’t call the police in order to ensure Poopoo’s safety. Instead, she called Zachary.Zachary immediately dropped his work and decided to go to Pairez with her.Charlotte’s heart was skipping like a rabbit after ending the call. It took her a long time before she could calm down.She stared at the small, bloodied finger and burst into tears.Parents were always deeply affected by their children.Poopoo must have been in excruciating pain when his finger was cut off!Most importantly, from now on, his hand would never be perfect. He could never learn, work or live like a healthy, normal person for the rest of his life!Charlotte teared up as she stared at the finger. Mr. Gold kindly soothed her and said, “Miss, this thumb is useless now. I’ll take care of it for you, so you won’t have to feel so sad every time you look at it.” He bent down to pick up the finger as he said this.“Don’t!”Charlotte hurriedly stopped him.“Mr. Gold, wrap it up carefully in plastic fil
Zachary’s body was as solid as an iron plate, yet his arms were warm and comforting. Every time Charlotte buried herself in his arms, she would feel safe and secure, no matter how bad things were.She lay the side of her face against his chest. His strong and vigorous heartbeat rang in her ears over and over again, more comforting than words.Not too long after, Charlotte calmed down. She was exhausted and actually fell asleep in Zachary’s arms.“Second Master, milady, I’m back!”This sudden announcement startled Charlotte from her sleep.Then, she heard the voice say, “Uh… Milady, I only saw you in Second Master’s arms. I didn’t realize that your eyes were closed. I’m sorry for waking you.”Charlotte rubbed her bleary eyes.“It’s alright.”Zachary simply gave Lucas an icy glare.That’s right! He knew that Lucas and Charlotte shared a purely platonic relationship… But every time he saw Lucas grinning at Charlotte and the warm, friendly look in Charlotte’s eyes when she looked
The entire hall suddenly became strangely quiet.In the end, no one else continued the bid.Zachary had succeeded in buying the Supreme Blood Diamond.Once he had received it, Zachary gave it to Charlotte for safekeeping.“Someone had bid 285 million before you made your bid. Why didn’t you bid 290 million or 300 million? Why’d you bid 330 million dollars right away?”Zachary, who was as handsome as a god, turned his crystalline gaze toward the wealthy man who had bid 285 million and was now buying a different gem in the exhibition hall.“I know him. He and I were bidding for the same item at a different jewelry convention more than four years ago. This man will never bid more than 330 million dollars, no matter how much he wants something.”Charlotte immediately understood.This Supreme Blood Diamond may be classed as an ultra-rare item that was hardly seen in the jewelry world, but it really was no bigger than a chicken egg.However, the thought of its price made Charlotte f
‘Zachary! He actually said that he’d buy anything I wanted!’However, once the envy in her eyes dissipated, she still shook her head resolutely.“Zachary, I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. Let’s go!”She grabbed Zachary and started walking again.Zachary had already spent 330 million to get Poopoo back! She had already decided on paying half of it back to him once she had the money. She already owed him so much. How could she spend any more of his money?Besides, she already had the Supreme Blood Diamond. She wasn’t in the mood to buy any jewels for herself. She wanted to use this blood diamond to save Poopoo.Seeing how determined Charlotte was, Zachary had no choice but to follow her out of the exhibition hall.Lucas, who had been waiting outside the hall, immediately greeted them. “Did you get it, sir?”Zachary nodded.Lucas fiddled with his large earring. “How much did you spend? Can I see it?”Zachary ignored him.Charlotte, however, handed the diamond to Lucas.“
The person speaking seemed to be smirking. “If I don’t watch your every move, how can I know if you’ll obey my orders?”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.The high and mighty tone of the man’s voice really annoyed her.The voice then said, “So, Charlotte Simmons, don’t even think of trying anything. If I notice anything strange in your demeanor, I’ll gouge your adorable son’s eyes and nose out and chop him to pieces.”Charlotte felt as if her soul was trembling too. She ground her teeth.“Don’t worry, for Poopoo’s sake, I won’t do anything stupid. I got the diamond you wanted. How would you like me to give it to you? Tell me!”“I will send you an address later. I want you and Mr. Connor to meet me in an hour with the diamond.”The person ended the call as soon as he said that.A few seconds later, someone with the profile name “No. 1 Kidnapper” sent Charlotte a friend request on Facebook.Charlotte approved it, and No. 1 Kidnapper sent her a location and a message: “Rem
At that moment, Charlotte’s phone vibrated again.She quickly answered the call in an emotionally charged voice. “Zachary and I are in the factory director’s lounge now. Where are you? And Poopoo? Where is he?”“Hah! Why do you have to ask so many questions, Miss Simmons? Are you still unaware of your current situation?” The voice gave off a sense of disdain.Charlotte was both shocked and enraged.“What did you say?”The other person sighed. “I’m saying that, right now, I’m a knife. You and Mr. Connor are fish on my chopping board. You have no choice but to listen to my instructions unconditionally and let me cut you. You shouldn’t be asking any questions. Instead, you should be doing whatever I say!”‘Uh…’Charlotte was speechless.That was right!They were now at this person’s mercy.Even the powerful, regal Zachary could only comply with the kidnapper’s wishes at this point, let alone her.Charlotte was momentarily distracted at first, but then she heard the person conti
Charlotte and Zachary walked into the room.Charlotte had been outside the door earlier on, so she hadn’t been able to see very clearly. When she walked in, she realized that there were two pairs of shackles at the head of the bed and the bottom of the bed respectively. There were four in total.Zachary had reached the side of the bed by now.However, he did not lie down on the bed. Instead, he furrowed his dark, shapely brows. His tempting, addictive, devastatingly handsome face looked slightly troubled.“Hey!”Charlotte pushed his arm.“Zachary, I know you’re very proud, and no one has ever tied you up. This must feel humiliating to you, but… you’ll just have to put up with it for now for the sake of our son.”Zachary’s throat quivered. A hint of disgust flashed across his icy pupils.Unbeknownst to Charlotte, Zachary wasn’t reluctant to get on the bed because he felt humiliated by the fact that his hands and feet had to be tied. It was because he, a germaphobe, had never sle
