Night King’s voice felt chilling despite the hot and stuffy atmosphere in the parking lot.Tiffany’s lips trembled, and she couldn’t say a word.Night King smirked. “Remember, I never do anything that doesn’t bring me profit. If you want me to make you famous, you’re going to have to show your sincerity by bringing me benefits. Otherwise, you’ll be worthless to me. Why should I make a worthless woman famous?”He quietly turned around as soon as he said this.Only then did Charlotte notice a tall, dark figure slowly walk away.Tiffany stared at the dark figure in a daze. She took three seconds to calm down before finding her voice again. “I feel as if we’ve met. Who are you?”“You don’t need to know who I am now, but you will one day. I’ll give you one day to consider my offer. Give me an answer by tomorrow at the latest.”The voice gradually faded away. Night King’s figure slowly walked away and soon disappeared.Tiffany stood in a daze in front of Charlotte’s car for a very lo
Charlotte’s clear eyes seemed to be smiling.“Go ahead.”Bryson stood in the darkness, his eyes filled with a layer of faint gloom. “I’d like you to put on a little show for me.”“What?” Charlotte shook her head. “Bryson, you know that I’m filming the sequel to The First Sorceress Princess at Virtual World. I can’t take any other roles until I’m done with this one.”“That’s not what I meant.” Bryson, who always portrayed himself as the dark Night King, curved his lips into a blooming smile. “I’ve arranged for a woman to come to your studio tomorrow. She’ll approach you while you’re at the studio. Once that happens, you and that woman will deliberately go somewhere near Tiffany. Stick to the contents of this paper and have a conversation with this woman. You need to let Tiffany hear you.”He handed Charlotte a piece of paper.Charlotte accepted it. The lighting was dim, so all she could see was a long note with many words. She couldn’t read it.Charlotte folded the paper and put
“Did you know, Miss Simmons? Mr. Harper used to be handsome and carefree. He was a man with a sunshine-like personality. However, ever since he survived being stabbed by Miss Miller four years ago, he’s completely changed. He’s become as dark as night, deep and melancholic… I’ve frequently met up with him ever since he assumed the persona of Night King. Every time I see him, I feel as if he’s no longer the same Mr. Harper I used to know. I feel as if I’m facing a cold stranger. However, when he spoke to you, I felt as if the old Mr. Harper had returned. He’ll only ever be his true self when he’s with you.”Charlotte couldn’t help feeling sad.Yes!She had also sensed a change in Bryson.However, people did change as time passed, especially after experiencing the highs and lows of life. She and Bryson had changed so much. They were different people now…They could never go back to how they used to be.Charlotte unfolded the A4 paper that Bryson had given her and looked through it
As Tiffany was at a loss for words, she heard Emma pitch her voice low and say, “Keep your voice down, Carlie. Tiffany is inside the gazebo and she might hear our conversation.”Charlotte lifted her brows and clicked her tongue. “There’s nothing to be worried about. Emmy, Tiffany is a b*tch and she’s the most despicable woman I’ve ever met. I hate her to the core, and just looking at her makes me want to puke. If she stays in the crew, won't that mean that I’ll have to throw up every time I film a scene with her? It'd be great if you could replace her.”“Carlie, you should thank Night King instead of me. He’s the one who got me into the crew...“Charlotte and Emma’s voices were getting fainter and fainter as they walked away.Tiffany was still standing frozen stiff in the gazebo, even though they had disappeared from her line of sight, and the flicker of nervousness that she had been hiding slowly appeared in her eyes.So the person who had started all this was Night King!‘Night
Be that as it may, judging from Lucas’s reaction, she had a hunch that this was not as simple as she imagined.It was already 9:30 p.m. when she got home. After she bathed Naomi and put her to bed, she still could not get through to Zachary, and Zachary had not replied to her text messages yet.Charlotte did not have a good feeling about it, and bad thoughts kept popping into her mind.She grasped her phone tightly and waited anxiously for his phone call.Finally, when it was about 10:00 p.m, Zachary gave her a video call. She hastily picked it up, her voice trembling out of anxiety.“Zachary, where are you now? Is everything fine?”“I’m on my way home,” Zachary replied, his voice as magnetic and seductive as before, even though he was talking on the phone.It was only then that Charlotte realized Zachary was driving.‘He video-called me while he’s driving?’Zachary lifted his shapely brows and replied, “You called me nine times and sent me six text messages. I don’t want you
The man’s name was William Wallace. He used to be a famous celebrity, but he had a fondness for little girls, little girls meaning young ladies in his case.Wu Bufan turned his nose up at girls over the age of twenty but had an avid interest in girls under the age of nineteen and often lured girls under the age of nineteen into doing shameful things with him by using various means.Then, something had happened to him three years ago.He had been sentenced to three years in prison for violating a 15-year-old girl, and since then, he had not only lost his reputation but had also been put in prison.Charlotte had heard that he had been released from prison not long ago, but he had gone off the grid, so nobody knew where he was. Never in Charlotte’s wildest dreams had she imagined that this once handsome celebrity had now turned into a pot-bellied man. Not only that, but he knew Tiffany as well!“I don’t understand what ‘getting your money’s worth’ means,” Tiffany replied, her voice f
She knew that Tiffany used to be a loose woman.Initially, she had thought that Tiffany would turn a new leaf after she married Zenios, her Prince Charming, and try her best to keep their marriage alive. However, she had not expected that Tiffany would be willing to cast away all her integrity just to become famous.“We made a bet yesterday. Now that Tiffany has compromised, it means I won the bet. You promised me that if I won, you would meet all my demands.”Charlotte felt a chill up her spine when she heard what Bryson had said. Her voice began to tremble as she said, “What… What do you want me to do?”“I want you to marry me,” Bryson said, emphasizing every syllable that spilled out of his mouth.Charlotte’s head buzzed.“Bryson, I did say yesterday that I would do anything you wanted me to do if you won the bet, but, but, but…” Charlotte stammered.‘I shouldn’t have promised him yesterday!’After all, she had been confident that Bryson would not win the bet since she’d tho
In the following days, Charlotte was so focused on her job that before she knew it, a month had passed.Then, the weekend came around. Both Charlotte and Coraline had made a lot of money after doing a live-stream session together last month. Since she had extra cash to spend now, Coraline would ask Charlotte to go out whenever she was free, and today was no exception. The two of them agreed to meet at Century Mall at ten o'clock in the morning.At around 10:20, while they were browsing in a jewelry store on the first floor of Century Mall, a clear baritone voice spoke. “Well, well, well, look who’s here. Why didn’t you inform me earlier that you’d be coming so that I could welcome you, Ms. Simmons?” Charlotte looked toward the source of the sound, and a second later, a face of unparalleled beauty that looked exactly like Zachary’s appeared in her line of sight.“Ah! Mr.Connor!” someone exclaimed.Then, someone else greeted him respectfully. “It’s nice to see you here, Mr. C
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
