“Mr. Connor asked me to tell you that if you want to enter this house, the only way to do it is by marrying him. Otherwise, you can camp out here until the apocalypse, but he won’t move.”The security guard’s voice rang clearly in Charlotte’s ears.Charlotte’s fingers trembled violently. It took her a while to calm down before she found her voice again.“Zachary has gone too far! Why is he doing this to me?”“Sigh!”The security guard sighed.“Miss Simmons, allow me to speak up for Mr. Connor. You know how many women in Rothesay have been cracking their heads to find a way to marry Mr. Connor? Mr. Connor does not care about those women and is single-mindedly trying to convince you to marry him. Is he not good enough for you? Would marrying Mr. Connor put you at a disadvantage? He only wants one thing from you. If you marry him, won’t you have everything?”‘Uh…’Charlotte was speechless.She knew that Zachary had always let her have her way.The reason he had become this way w
“Mm.” Charlotte chuckled. “Zachary, since I’ve already promised to marry you, can’t you tell the security guard to open the door and let me see our son?”“No,” Zachary replied.Charlotte was speechless.Then, Zachary said in a cold, merciless voice, “The conditions are non-negotiable. You have to wait until our marriage.”Charlotte’s exquisite face seemed exasperated.Then, she heard Zachary’s clear, magnetic voice ring in her ear again. “Lisa-Luna’s been waiting for you. Set a time and I’ll take you to your facial restoration surgery. Call me when it’s done.”He ended the call after saying that.Charlotte stood firmly in front of the gate.She could see a faint outline of Poopoo, who was laughing and playing with his adoptive parents, through the crack in the gate. How she wished she could turn invisible, walk through the heavy metal gate, reach his side, take his hand, and pinch his tender little cheeks…However, she was helpless.It seemed that everything she had done had
The policemen asked a few more questions and then left.Charlotte, who had stepped into the living room, sat on the couch, unable to calm down for a very long time.When she’d lost her memories, she had lived her life under Sotiria Green’s name for a while. Sotiria had a horrible reputation, so everyone had avoided her like the plague. Renata was the only one who had treated her like her best friend…Even though she’d later found out that Renata’s friendship had been insincere and she had been lurking around just to get revenge, after spending four years with Renata, she knew that Renata wasn’t a bad person.Thus, when she had regained her memories, she’d truly wanted to be best friends with Renata.‘But… Renata! She’s gone. She’s dead… And it happened so suddenly too!’For some strange reason, Charlotte couldn’t shake off the feeling that Renata’s murder was somehow related to her…“Miss, guess who’s here?”“Miss, what are you thinking about?”“Miss!”Mr. Gold patted Charlot
“Your mom paid me a visit at home this morning. She told me that you’re suing her and demanding that she returns the money she got from Dickson Barkley three years ago. Is this true?”Charlotte nodded.“Come on, Charlotte! Koko is your mother. What’s the big deal about her using your money? You’re actually suing her for the sake of money and fame. What are you thinking?”Charlotte was so enraged that her neck and forehead turned red.“I will not allow a mother-daughter feud in my family. Carlie, cancel the lawsuit against Koko right now, or I’ll make you!”“Dad!”Charlotte was so distressed that she was close to tears.“Have you forgotten what Kourtney has done to me? She never saw me as her daughter. She’d be happy if I died. She has no right to use my money. Besides, it’s bad enough that I’m penniless now, but I also owe Zenios money. Why should I let that snake Kourtney use the money that should belong to me?”“You! What are you talking about?”Walter was so furious that he
Walter, who was determined to gain Kourtney’s favor, immediately called her.A red Bugatti drove into the courtyard more than ten minutes later.Clack!The car door opened.Walter rushed forward to greet Kourtney when she emerged from the vehicle.“Koko, you got here so soon? Didn’t I tell you to be safe and not drive so fast?”Kourtney gave Walter a snobby glance.“My driving methods are my business. Not yours.”Walter wasn’t angry at all. He continued to gaze at Kourtney with infatuation in his eyes.“Koko, I know we only just met a few hours ago, but I’m so happy to see you again. I really hope to see you every day now.”Kourtney raised her brows in derision and ignored Walter.Charlotte, who was standing next to Walter, was enraged.‘See?’Kourtney believed that she could hurt her father in any way she liked and it wouldn’t matter because her father was in love with her to the point of pathetic infinity.“Koko, did you know? I…”“Dad, enough!”Charlotte cut Walter o
If the person who had hurt her and her father had been anyone else, she could still have taken revenge.Unfortunately, the person who had hurt them was the woman who had given birth to her and the woman her father loved. She couldn’t have revenge at all.All she could do was ensure that Kourtney stayed far, far away from her father so that she could never hurt her father again…“Miss, may I make a fair statement?”An elderly voice rang out behind Charlotte.Charlotte stared in the direction where Kourtney’s car had left with tears in her eyes.“Go ahead, Mr. Gold.”“I’ve heard about the things Kourtney’s done to you. As an elder, I’m telling you that she’s not fit to be a mother. You don’t owe her anything. You don’t need to show her mercy…”Mr. Gold spoke sincerely as he approached Charlotte.“Miss, it’s hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s not a small number for anyone. Besides, you’re penniless now and you’ve even resorted to taking out loans… Your father is blind. You s
Charlotte immediately paled, as if she had heard a loud clap of thunder on a sunny day. “So you killed Renata!”Elizabeth smirked.“What’s wrong? You didn’t see that coming, did you, Charlotte? It’s really that surprising to you that I would kill that b*tch Renata after you two joined forces and caused my mother’s death?”Charlotte gasped.At that moment, she understood everything.However, when she’d seen Elizabeth in the Green home a few times, Elizabeth had seemed like a quiet, timid girl. She had never thought that Elizabeth would resort to such infuriating methods.At that moment, Elizabeth shoved a glass bottle in front of Charlotte.“Drink it.”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched.“What’s in this bottle?”“You don’t need to worry about that,” Elizabeth replied in a husky voice. “All you need to know is that you’ll black out after drinking it. That’s all.”Charlotte lifted her brows and tried her best to remain calm.“Lizzie, listen to me. Your mother’s death was
“At the end of the day, you and Renata caused my mom’s death here. Today, I’m going to kill you in this lake!”Charlotte shook her head, her eyes looking cold and arrogant.“I’ve told you very clearly that I’m not responsible for your mother’s death, nor is Renata. She did this to herself. She’s responsible for what happened to her.”“Really?” Elizabeth sneered. “You still don’t know, Charlotte? Actually, my mother wasn’t the only one responsible for killing Sotiria’s mother. I was involved too. Later on, on that rainy day, the person who stopped you at the lake, knocked you out, and threw you in the lake along with your car was me!”‘What?’Charlotte was so shocked that she was rendered speechless.Elizabeth had a delicate, warm-looking face. She looked like a nice person.If she hadn’t admitted this herself, Charlotte never would have thought that she was just as much of a snake as Virginia…‘Oh, that’s right! I remember now! Last month, two people stopped my car by the lake
