She watched as Bryson’s face turned purple, and his body struggled. However, Zachary’s eyes were like knives—there was no sign of an intent to release him.Charlotte wrapped her arms around Zachary’s arm, the one he was using to strangle Bryson, in panic. “Zachary, wake up. Let go… Let go!” She used every fiber of her being, but she couldn’t move him at all. Zachary was so strong that it was like he was made of metal. Charlotte broke into a cold sweat. She steeled herself and prepared to bite the back of Zachary’s hand.Just as she opened her mouth, Zachary relaxed his grip.“Gasp… Cough, cough, cough!” Bryson curled himself into a ball, taking deep breaths. His heart rate, which had slowed to a near stop, was increasing again.He knew, without a doubt, that Zachary would have strangled him to death if Charlotte hadn’t stopped him.“I’ll let you live… for now.” A cold, icy tone slipped through Zachary’s lips. “However, I’ve warned you before. If you ever touch my wife again, I
One of them said coldly, “Do you want to stretch out your hands by yourself, or do you want us to do it for you?”Bryson raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “Come on. We’ll see who will come out on top!”The two bodyguards approached Bryson with an intent to kill, and one of them took out a dagger.Upon witnessing this scene, Charlotte was so frightened that her legs became feeble. Nonetheless, she still managed to muster up the courage to step out. “Don’t hurt Bryson!”The ferocious bodyguards both stopped obediently at that moment. They were carrying out President Connor’s orders, and no one else could ever stop them from doing their job—except Charlotte!Who was Charlotte? President Connor had given very specific instructions to his personal bodyguards that they must obey Charlotte unconditionally.Bryson was startled slightly. He then looked at Charlotte’s eyes and could not help but feel the warmth while experiencing a shock.At that moment, Zachary’s footsteps stopped for a
Charlotte stared at Zachary in a daze, her eyes were full of guilt.In order to get Zachary to let go, Charlotte did bite Zachary’s arm with everything she had.“Heh.” The domineering and majestic Zachary, the corners of his lips were lifted and formed an arc, it looked extremely indifferent and ironic. However, just a glimpse of that smirk would captivate anyone’s soul, it was just irresistible.Sure enough! A woman would really go all out for the one she truly loved!Charlotte was so afraid of him that she would tremble in panic every time she was in front of him. But in order to save Bryson, she was not afraid to even bite him. And now, she was looking straight at his grim eyes bravely and pleading for Bryson...This woman must not know, as long as he had decided to do something, it would be pointless for anyone to intercede.But why did his indifferent heart just melt when he stared at Charlotte’s arrogant but coquettish appearance and the gaze coming from her pleading eyes?
After all, such a decision was unprecedented for Zachary.The other bodyguard could not recover from the trance for a while. He then heaved a long sigh. “Second Master had promised Mrs. Simmons, what else can we say? Let’s go.”The two ignored Bryson’s existence and left side by side.In a blink of an eye, only Bryson was left beside the once boisterous fountain.Charlotte stood next to the fountain, gazing at Zachary’s back in a daze while Bryson stared at her blankly.Mr. Connor was the legend of Rothesay. Any order that came out of his mouth had always been an imperial edict, which would definitely be carried out, and it was useless for anyone to intercede.Therefore, when Charlotte tried to intercede with Zachary, Bryson believed that she would surely fail. However, the outcome shocked him!He had investigated them. Zachary and Charlotte were married because of an agreement, and Zachary never loved Charlotte.However, Bryson had a feeling that something was wrong since not
Charlotte now understood why Zachary always kicked his buttock—his mouth was really...However, thinking back to his advice, getting onto Zachary’s bed?‘Save it!’The last time she had accidentally gotten onto Zachary’s bed because of her sleepwalking habit, she had woken up to Zachary choking her. She still remembered clearly that Zachary had warned her sternly not to enter his bedroom again. Thus, if she were to do so again, Zachary would definitely strangle her to death.Lucas noticed that Charlotte’s eyes were filled with rejection and grabbed his oversized earrings, feeling extremely defeated. Charlotte totally had no idea that Zachary had fallen ill because of her.Hence, he tried to help her to come up with ideas earnestly, but she thought he was joking!At that moment, Zachary, who was in the car waiting, was staring at Lucas with a grim glare.Apparently, the warning that he had directed at Lucas, asking him to stay away from Charlotte, had gone down the drain long ago
Zachary also seemed to be petrified while watching Zenios clinging to Charlotte’s hand. His eyes were cold, but he did not yell at Zenios, asking him to let go of her hands.He lacked the confidence to do so all of a sudden.Even though he and Charlotte were married, Zenios was the father of Charlotte’s child, and now their child had been found... This made Zachary feel a sense of loss as the genuine third wheel of the love triangle...“That... Are you sure?” It took a while for Charlotte to calm down and regain her voice. She also yanked her hands out of Zenios’s forcefully.“I’m sure. I was sure that he was our son at first glance. He has blue eyes just like me, and his nose, mouth, and face are just a tinier duplicate of yours!”Although Zenios was thrilled, thinking that Charlotte was still his ‘Second Aunt’, he stopped pulling her, and his eyes started to tear up. “Carlie! This child is the fruit of our indulgence in love on that night and the bond that we won’t be able to cu
Blue Water Bay area, at Zenios’s luxurious villa... A cool supercar could be seen from a distance, and two custodians rushed to stop it. “This is Mr. Connor’s personal villa. No one is allowed to enter without an invitation from Mr. Connor… Huh? Sorry! You’re Mr. Connor’s Second Uncle, aren’t you? Come in, come in!”The custodians opened the gate. Zachary’s car had just entered the courtyard when a gold edition Rolls-Royce drove past his vehicle and stopped in the courtyard first. The door opened, and the very tall Zanios got out of the vehicle, turned to Zachary, who was one step behind, and said, “See, Second Uncle? I left much later than you, but I arrived first.”Zachary’s expression was as cold as ice. His tone was frosty. “Stop beating around the bush. What are you getting at?”Zenios raised his sharp brows. He looked at Charlotte, who got out of the car along with Zachary, his eyes filled with confidence. “You took advantage of my absence from the country and married Ca
‘Why does Second Uncle care about Carlie so much?’Zenios’s Blue Water Bay villa was just as large as Zachary’s in the Divine Sanctuary district. His main living room was bigger than a soccer field.There was a new addition in the living room, a baby’s cradle. Six platinum-level nannies surrounded and hovered around the baby in the cradle as if they were worshipping a prince.One nanny smiled fawningly when they saw Zenios entering the living room.“Mr. Connor, your baby is very healthy and such a good boy. Look at him, how exquisite! He’s definitely going to grow up into an exceptionally handsome man, just like you, Sir.”Zenios swept his gaze across the nannies.“You are all excused.”“As you wish, Mr. Connor.”The nannies stepped away.“Carlie, our son is here. Come, have a look.” Zenios was cold and indifferent to others but a kind and considerate little lamb when it came to Charlotte.Charlotte walked toward the cradle.The little one was less than two months old, tende
