Elizabeth knew that she was no match for Charlotte. She took advantage of Charlotte’s momentary lapse, turned around, and ran.By the time Charlotte regained her senses, she heard the sound of a car door being hastily slammed shut. Elizabeth had slipped into the car.Elizabeth, who was hell-bent on killing Charlotte, ignored the pain in her wrist, gritted her teeth, and started the car, then hit the accelerator and drove toward Charlotte.Luckily, Charlotte was quick enough to jump out of the way.Boom!The car missed Charlotte. Instead, it crashed into the pier and nearly caught fire.At this point, Charlotte was hiding somewhere in between.The bridge was only one meter wide. The car couldn’t drive back in, so Elizabeth had no way of ramming the car against her, and she was too afraid to get out of the car and fight with her. Thus, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, start the car, turn the steering wheel, and drive away…A hint of disappointment filled Charlotte’s limpi
Charlotte wanted to tell him that she was fine.However, the man had already exited the vehicle at this point. She saw the man’s half-masked face and immediately forgot about whatever she’d wanted to say. “Night King, it’s you again!” she exclaimed.“Mm…” Night King had already arrived in front of her. He scanned her from head to toe and then paused on her right leg.“Your leg looks very red. What happened?”Charlotte shrugged.“Hey! That’s just a flesh wound. Elizabeth kicked me. It doesn’t hurt. It’ll be fine very soon. It’s alright.”Night King continued to stare at her wound.Her skin was as white as milk, so even though the wound wasn’t exactly severe, it looked like a pool of blood on a patch of snow on her body. It was particularly glaring and eye-catching.Usually, perfect objects were more susceptible to being spoiled and left with scars…Human skin was the same.He knew that her physique scarred easily. The bruise on her leg might not be severe, but it would take
“Mm.” Charlotte nodded.She turned toward the end of the road too. There were two poplar trees swaying in the wind. The leaves fluttered and landed on the bleak ground, and ripples were created on the surface of Crescent Lake…Even though the police car hadn’t arrived yet, based on the clear siren, it would be arriving soon.“Alright, then I’ve got to go.”Night King glanced reluctantly at Charlotte, turned around, and left.“Wait!”Charlotte immediately took a step forward. She wanted to take Night King’s hand, just like last time. However, just as the tips of her fingers touched his wrist, she realized that it would be inappropriate, so she quickly pulled her hand away.Night King stopped.“As the leader of the black market, I must keep my distance from the police. If you have anything else to say, say it before the police arrive,” he said with his back against her.“The last time we met, you said that you would let me see your face the next time we met, didn’t you?”At thi
Charlotte was completely lost in Bryson’s story.“Soon, I woke up in the sewer. I was extremely weak at the time, and it took all of my strength to get up. I didn’t call the police, nor did I go back. I went to the Black Market instead. That’s what happened four years ago.”“But Tiffany wasn’t dead yet at the time, so why didn’t you come back to seek revenge on her?” Charlotte asked.Bryson curled up his thin lips slightly and replied, “Because of you.”Charlotte was stunned. “Me? Why?”Bryson’s gaze became gentle. “I never told you how much I regretted what I did after learning about Tiffany's deception. However, you were already disappointed in me and had become someone else's wife, so I knew there was no way to get you back even though I regretted it. Ever since then, my life was worse than death every day, and when I woke up in the sewer, I suddenly realized that it was a relief for me to let go of all my past grudges and live again in a different role.”“Okay then!” Charlo
In the past, when he had been bullied by Zachary, he’d always gritted his teeth and swore that he would become stronger.He had indeed become stronger now!Not only was he still alive, but he had also become Night King of Rothesay!“Ms. Simmons, you’re the one who called the police just now, right?”It was only when a stern voice rang out in front of her that Charlotte snapped back to reality and realized two police officers were standing before her.She hastily withdrew her gaze from the direction Bryson’s car had headed in.“Yes!” she said as she pointed at the car in the center of the road. “The person who killed Renata and her father is Elizabeth. She’s inside the car, but I’m not sure if she’s still alive or not.”The police officer sized Charlotte up with a conflicted gaze. “We’ve run a thorough check on her. Although she’s in bad shape, her breathing is smooth and her vitals are stable. We’ve already called an ambulance, so she will be fine.”Charlotte heaved a sigh
“Second Master, please don’t go yet! Second Master, wait!” Lucas rushed up to Zachary and said with a smile on his lips, “Another little bird told me that Ms. Simmons managed to escape from the clutches of her kidnappers by using her superior wisdom.”Zachary suddenly stopped in his tracks. The anxiety ebbed away from his face as his usual calmness gradually returned. “Second Master, the person who kidnapped Ms. Simmons is Elizabeth. She’s also the one who killed Renata. While she was on the run, her car was hit by a cool armored car driven by Night King. She’s currently receiving treatment at the hospital, but if I were her, I would hope that the doctor would give up on saving me so that I could die just like that. After all, she will be sentenced to death even if the doctor successfully pulls her back from the clutches of death.” Lucas wagged his head as he said this.Zachary’s face sank once again. “The person who saved Carlie was Night King again?” “Yes!” Lucas replied, nod
A lot of legends about Night King had been circulating in Rothesay in the past four years. Lucas had been one of Night King's admirers, but he’d never had a chance to meet him. Therefore, when Zachary asked him to take a message to Night King at the Black Market, his eyes glowed and he nodded without hesitation. “I will go find him right away, Second Master, but… What do you want me to tell him?”Zachary squinted his icy eyes as he stared in an unknown direction. The syllables that spilled from his thin lips were bone-chilling. “Tell him that people can come back from the dead, but one can never turn the clock back. Tell him to leave Charlotte alone and thank him for saving my wife’s life again and again. Charlotte and I will get married soon, and when that time comes, he is welcome to join us at the wedding.”Lucas had no idea why but he could feel goosebumps pebbling across his skin as he listened to Zachary’s contentious message.“Did you memorize everything?” Zachary’s deep vo
“Well, if it isn’t the world's greatest celebrity, Allegra. Welcome! Welcome! It's a real pleasure to have you, a sight for sore eyes, in my and Zenios’s home.”Tiffany put the spray can down and approached Charlotte with a big warm smile on her face.Charlotte’s brows twitched.Yes!Tiffany had married Zenios four years ago, and they’d organized a spectacular wedding that had attracted a lot of attention from different ranks of society. They were legally married to each other, and she was also the rightful owner of this house. However, Charlotte still felt an endless surge of disgust and revolt whenever she heard Tiffany openly show off her relationship with Zenios. She lifted her brows coldly. “Tiffany, I know you don’t welcome me at all, so you can drop the act. If you don’t, I’m really going to beat you.”After she finished talking, she raised her arm high in the air as though she was going to hit her.“Ah…”Tiffany was so frightened that she jumped back like a flea, and
