Charlotte was dumbfounded, so was the woman.“Huh? You’ve lost me, Mr. Night King. You said you have been looking for me? Do we know each other?”The Night King shook his head. He then began to explain with his deeply alluring voice, “Ever since I took control of the black market, I’ve been looking for a smart, cunning, brave, devious but loyal assistant. However, for more than four years, I have not been able to find a suitable candidate, and today, I found her. That person is you.”The woman felt overwhelmingly flattered and stifled a glance at the Night King. “Yes! Exactly! I’m smart, cunning, brave, and devious, but how can you be so sure that I will be loyal to you?”The Night King raised his head and looked at Zachary, who was standing not far away.“The fact that you’re willing to rack your brain and stop at nothing to make the man you love to sleep with you once means that you’re a woman who’s true to yourself. I believe in my intuition. As long as I treat you well, you wi
‘Huh…’The corner of Charlotte’s lips quivered. Zachary, who had been watching them from the side, curled his lips up sarcastically.At the same time, the Night King’s chilly voice rang out once again. “So just pretend that I wasn’t here today. Goodbye.”With that, he turned around and resumed walking. “Hold on for a second!”Seeing that the Night King was about to leave again, Charlotte could not resist her curiosity anymore. She cast every caution to the wind and took a large stride forward. She grabbed the Night King’s right hand and said, “Do you still remember? You had promised me that the next time we met, you would take off your mask and show me your true face!”The tall man standing in front of Charlotte trembled. Her hand was freezing cold because it had been exposed to the air for too long. However, the moment she took his hand, he could feel the warmth from her hand on his skin, spreading throughout his entire body and causing his heart, which had been dead for
‘Zachary! He knows Night King!’“Really?” Night King came to a stop and stroked his mask with his finger. “Zachary, you’re the one who should face reality. You’re right. You have two kids with Carlie now, but don’t forget that you two ended your marriage four years ago. She’s single right now, so anyone has the right to make a move on her.” Zachary opened his thin lips, but no words came out of his teeth.Night King turned around and offered him a confident smile. “Besides, Zachary, after so many things, she already knows how I feel about her. Didn't you see her take my hand just now? This shows that she has a thing for me as well, so this time, it's still unclear which one of us will be the ultimate winner.”Zachary’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.Charlotte felt like weeping but had no tears to cry. Her emotions had gotten the better of her, and that was why she had taken Night King’s hand just now. What he’d said was not true.‘Night King! How can you make
Poopoo raised his soft, tender little hand and pointed at the distribution room. “They’re locked in that room.”Bam!Zachary kicked the door to the distribution room open.Poopoo’s adoptive parents were both tied up on two separate chairs, and their mouths were firmly gagged with adhesive tape.Poopoo’s adoptive mother was taken aback when she saw Charlotte. The woman’s name was Lillian Myers, and her husband’s name was David Harlow.Charlotte walked over and tore off the adhesive tape on Lillian’s mouth. Then, Lillian exclaimed, “Miss Green, I met you at the park when I came to Rothesay! Our family was kidnapped a few days ago and brought back to Rothesay, and you’re the one who saved us. What a coincidence!”“This is no coincidence. The kidnapper called me and asked me for ransom to save you.” Charlotte smiled at Lillian as she untied her.“Huh? Did that actually happen? Why would the kidnapper call you?” Lillian was taken aback.Charlotte curled her lips. “Because the kidnap
However, Poopoo raised his incomparably handsome little face and stared at Lillian and David. Crystalline tears welled up in his large, ink-black eyes.He had been living with Lillian and David for as long as he could remember.In his heart, the pair of them were his real mother and father. He couldn't bear to leave them.However, even though his childish mind couldn’t comprehend the adult world, he knew that he had no choice now… He had to leave them!He didn’t cry, though.He wanted to be a man and never cry no matter how sad the situation was.“Sigh!”Charlotte was extremely sad at the sight of Poopoo’s expression. She gently pinched his cheek.“Poopoo, I know you don’t want to leave them, but that’s just how life goes. There are many times when we have to be temporarily separate from people we care about. Uh… However, this is only temporary. Your adoptive parents will visit you very often in the future.”“Yes! Yes!”Lillian hurriedly chimed in. “Julian, she’s your real
She could not see any emotion in his icy pupils.“I’d like to offer you a job that pays 3,100 dollars a month per person. Will you accept it?”“Huh?” The man was both shocked and elated. “Yes, of course we will!”Lillian was overjoyed as well. “Mr. Connor, we never even dared imagine the high salary you just offered. If you really could give us a high-paying job like that, we’d be ever so grateful to you. But… Sigh! But we are just average employees. We don’t have any special skills. We’re afraid we won’t be competent enough for the job you’ve offered us…”“I want you to be my son’s full-time nannies. From now on, you will treat him just like you’ve always treated him—you’ll feed him, take him and pick him up from school, and play with him. Can you do that?” Zachary asked, his face as perfect as a glacier.“Uh…”Lillian and David looked at each other, then answered in unison, “Yes!”Charlotte was taken aback.Zachary opened his thin lips. “Get in the car.”“Yes, Mr. Connor.”
She took Poopoo’s little hand as she said this and pointed at Platinum Coast.“Look, baby, can you see the villa by the beach? Isn’t it big? Isn’t it beautiful? This is mommy’s home. From now on, this will be your home too. Come on, get out of the car with mommy.”She got out of the vehicle and held Poopoo, trying to lead him out of the car.Then, Zachary’s icy voice suddenly rang out.“You get out of the car. Leave my son in here.”‘What?’Charlotte’s graceful, pretty figure wavered as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head. Even the little four-year-old boy could sense Zachary’s intimidating aura. He released Charlotte’s hand and stayed in the car. He widened his large, abstruse eyes, too afraid to leave the vehicle.“I… I don’t understand…”Charlotte calmed herself after a long pause before rediscovering her voice.“Zachary, I’ve endured so many hardships to finally find our son. I should be living with him. Why won’t you let him come home with me? Wh
Charlotte had arrived home.Even though she couldn’t be with Poopoo, the thought of being reconciled with him and the fact that he was safe and sound were good enough for her.Charlotte had never had any stability since regaining her memories…Now, she could finally have a good night’s rest. She went to the living room, collapsed on the couch, and quickly fell asleep.Bam!A loud noise startled Charlotte.She turned and opened her heavy eyelids. Before she could have a clear view of her surroundings, she heard a respectful voice say, “Ah! So sorry, Miss. Mr. Gold mentioned how exhausted you are and that you need rest. He even told us specifically not to wake you. It’s all my fault for being so clumsy. I’ve disturbed your sleep.”“It’s fine…”Charlotte sat up on the couch and saw a housekeeper standing not too far away with a broom lying at her feet. That heavy noise had probably been the housekeeper accidentally dropping the broom while she was sweeping.The housekeeper smiled
