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
Only then did Charlotte come back to her senses. She lowered her head to her left pocket. “It’s in my pocket.”The kidnapper immediately searched Charlotte’s pocket and found the blood diamond.She shone a bright torch light on the diamond and stared at it for a while. Then, she smashed it forcefully on the ground a few times, confirming that the diamond was real, and nodded in satisfaction.“Very good, Miss Simmons. You’re true to your word. You have my approval.”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.“That’s right, I’m true to my word. I didn’t call the police and I’ve given you the diamond. Now that you have it, you can live in any corner of the world and splurge. Give Poopoo back to us. Zachary and I promise that we’ll never pursue the matter again.”“Mm.” The kidnapper nodded.“Don’t worry. I’m just as trustworthy as you. I have my own principles. Your son is in the electrical room of this factory. Once I leave, you’ll find him there.”Charlotte relaxed once the kidnap
Handsome, perfect Zachary had a hint of a chill in his icy pupils.“Miss Carter, you’re the one behind this!”“Miss Carter?”The pure, beautiful eyes of the woman were filled with a hint of surprise. Then, she sneered. “I’m hurt, Mr. Connor. I worked as your secretary for three years. In the end, I was that insignificant to you? You don’t even remember my name. My surname isn’t Carter, it’s Thorne!”Zachary raised his brow in disdain.Charlotte fixed her gaze on the woman.Every time this woman had called her and mentioned Zachary, she had always addressed him as “Mr. Connor” with reverence. So she used to be Zachary’s secretary…The woman kept her eyes fixed on Zachary.“Mr. Connor, since you know my surname, you should remember my full name by now, right?”Zachary sneered. “Your name is of no consequence to me.”At that moment, a clear glint of hurt appeared on the woman’s exquisite little face. She calmed herself for a while before she could find her voice again. “He he…
While saying that, she was already sitting on the edge of the bed with her hands placed on Zachary’s body, undoing his new stiff blazer and unbuttoning the buttons on the white shirt under his blazer one by one...Zachary closed his eyes tightly and did not resist.The reason he did not resist was that he had just tried it, but the cuffs on his wrists and ankles were so strong that even someone as astonishingly powerful as him could not break free.More importantly, this woman’s attention would be all on him and she wouldn’t hurt Charlotte if he allowed her to get what she wanted...“Hey, can I say something? Why are you taking off his clothes? What are you going to do with him?” Seeing that Zachary’s perfect upper body had been exposed as the woman unbuttoned all the buttons on his shirt, Charlotte could not stand it anymore.The woman turned her head around and took a glance at Charlotte. “This is a personal grievance between me and Mr. Connor, so it’s none of your business.”C
Zachary’s glacial, perfect face had turned gloomy, and his gaze looked so cold that it could freeze everything in the world with just a glare.He thought that this woman was going to cut his skin with a blade, burn his body with a lighter, or whip him with a lash when she’d first undressed him...He had not expected her purpose to be this filthy!Charlotte let out a long sigh of relief.‘Alright! I have to admit that I don’t want Zachary to be raped by some random woman either. However, I was very worried just now that this emotionally unstable woman would harm Zachary through some extremely vicious means.‘Compared to Zachary being hurt, him being raped will induce much less damage...’“Don’t worry, Mr. Connor, I’m as pure as the driven snow. I’ve never loved another man before meeting you, and other men have been nothing but sh*t to me since I fell in love with you. I’m going to lose my virginity to you today.”The woman spoke as she untied Zachary’s belt, and her cheeks turne
Charlotte was left speechless.However, the woman had already arrived behind the chair that she was tied to. It was a wheeled chair, so the woman pushed her to the bed in the blink of an eye.The unique fragrance found on Charlotte’s body brushed across Zachary’s nostrils almost as soon as she was pushed by the woman toward the bed. Zachary’s eyes, which looked as cold as two ice vortexes, were filled with warmth in an instant... Immediately, a series of uncontrolled, vigorous reactions and changes took place...The woman was ecstatic when she saw these changes in Zachary’s body.At the same time, she could not help but feel lost deep down—‘I was sitting on Zachary’s body just now, stroking and teasing him, but I couldn’t even invoke a tiny reaction out of him. However, all Charlotte needed to do to turn him into a scorching flame immediately was just be in front of him!’She did not let this let-down make her overthink.‘Zachary is the only person that I’ve ever loved! However
The woman looked at Charlotte and smiled with satisfaction. “Ms. Simmons, you really are a smart woman. Aside from that, thank you for allowing me to live my dream.”Charlotte’s lips opened, but she could not utter a word.‘If there are a few people in this world who don’t want Zachary to have sexual relationships with other women. I must definitely be on the list besides Zachary himself!‘However, I have no other way to handle this matter!‘I haven’t managed to rescue Poopoo. This woman might vent her anger on Poopoo and hurt him if I piss her off... In order to ensure Poopoo’s safety, I can only throw Zachary under the bus for now...’The woman smirked triumphantly as she looked at Zachary’s helpless, defeated expression. “Mr. Connor, as a matter of fact, there’s no need for you to put on such a reluctant expression. I only care about owning you this once and I don’t care what you’re thinking while we’re at it. So, in order for things to be harmonious and enjoyable between us, y
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
