The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1361 Ambush
âBecause LoryâĶâJebediahâs eyes were filled with warmth when Lorraineâs pretty face surfaced in his mind.âOne way to tell if a woman truly loves a man is through her reaction in bed. Lory was always very cold to me whenever I tried to get physical with her in the past and gave me the impression that I was raping her. However, since she married me, we've never once had any problems in bed. She has become a lot more active and sheâll sometimes take the initiative to suggest some of the most erotic things, such asâĶââAlright, alright, stop it!â Charlotte cut Jebediah short, her face flushing with embarrassment. âDonât you think itâs inappropriate for you to tell me these things?ââIâm sorry. I just canât help it whenever I think about Lory.â Jebediah offered Charlotte an apologetic smile as a hint of embarrassment crossed his eyes.âAll I want to say is that Lory loves me now. She has decided to spend the rest of her life with me and she has been trying her very best to have a chi
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1362 How Is My Brother?
âOh no! Someoneâs shot Mr. Valentine!ââThe murderer has a gun. Get downâĶâEveryone ducked onto the ground, afraid of getting shot. Only Charlotte remained standing in her spot, dazed like a puppet, staring at Jebediah at her feet. Fiery-red blood gushed out of his body, staining her shoes.âCarlie, why are you still staring at him? Close your eyes!âCoraline cried out anxiously and dragged Charlotte away from Jebediah. Then, she covered her eyes with her right hand.She knew that Charlotte was afraid of blood. If she continued to stare at Jebediah, she might collapse.The ambulance soon arrived at the scene.Charlotte followed the ambulance to the hospital.Jebediah was immediately sent to the emergency room. Three policemen found Charlotte as she waited outside the emergency room and questioned her.Based on police information, Charlotte found out that the assault had occurred in a public place and was a gun assault with horrible consequences. The criminal had fled as soon a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1363 Jebediah Awakens
Jebediah was still unconscious. His eyes were shut, and his handsome face was completely pale, but he looked more peaceful than ever.Charlotte couldnât help being reminded of Zachary when she saw him and remembered that Zachary had been sent to the hospital many times because he had risked his life to save her.âZachary! He and Jebediah are relatives as close as brothers.âAt the end of the day, the relationship between Zachary and Jebediah had only fallen apart because of the hatred between her and Lorraine.Now, she and Lorraine had called a truce. Had Zachary and Jebediah patched up their relationship?Why wasnât Zachary here to see Jebediah?âJebediah!âThey suddenly heard a cry from the door. Charlotte turned around and saw Lorraine hurry toward the hospital bed with the support of another woman.Annalitaâs face sank as soon as she saw Lorraine. She released Jebediahâs hand and told Miranda, âHow unlucky. Sheâs here, Mimi. Letâs go!âMiranda showed Lorraine her middle fi

âI get it now. Weâre not needed here. We didnât need to come back. Carlie, Mimi, I think we should leave now.âAnnalita dragged Charlotte and Miranda away.Only then did Jebediah lift his head and look at Annalita. âIâm sorry, sis. I didnât mean to ignore you, Carlie, and Mimi. Itâs just thatâĶââItâs just that when the woman you love is in your arms, sheâs the only thing you can see. You donât notice anyone else!âAnnalita deliberately pretended to be incensed. However, she could not conceal the warmth in her gaze.âFine, Jebediah. Iâm happy to see that youâre alright. You should enjoy your time with her. We wonât disturb you.â Jebediah, who was as handsome as a god, slowly lifted the corners of his lips.âThank you, sis.âCharlotte, Annalita, and Miranda left the ward together.Annalita gently held Charlotteâs hand. âWhat do you think of Jebediah and Lorraine?ââMm?â Charlotteâs eyes were filled with confusion.âI donât understand, Mrs. Annalita. What do you mean?ââWhy a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1365 Abducted
âWhoâs there?âThe black figure that had just entered paused in his tracks.âItâs me, Miss Simmons.âThat voice did not sound familiar to CharlotteâĶCharlotteâs nerves were on edge. She quickly turned on her bedside lamp. As soon as she turned on the light, the black figure reached the side of her bed.âMiss Simmons, Iâve been commissioned to take you somewhere.âThat deep voice rang out again. Then, a black object landed heavily on Charlotteâs head.âArgh!âA warm liquid gushed down Charlotteâs face. Her eyelids felt droopy, and she felt as if her soul was leaving her body as she slowly blacked out.âMiss Simmons, itâs time to wake up!âMiss SimmonsâĶâMiss SimmonsâĶâSplash!Ice-cold water was splashed over her head. Charlotte shivered. She felt as if the wound on her head had split open and she nearly collapsed from the pain.âWhat are you doing? Donât you have any restraint? Whyâd you hit her so hard? What if you killed her?â A strange voice rang out in front of Charlot
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1366 Sorry, Mr. Valentine
She heard the sound of footsteps. The two masked men walked toward Jebediahâs bed in unison. The taller man stared at Jebediahâs pale face and said, âMr. Valentine, since youâre going to die, I guess I should give you an explanation before your demise. I was the one who shot you outside your jewelry store, but you survived. Our employer asked us to make sure you died.âHe tore off the tape on Jebediahâs lips.Jebediah had just been through a major surgery. He was weak, so it took him a very long time before he managed to reply in a weak voice, âIâm sure youâre doing this for money. DonâtâĶ Donât kill me. Iâll pay you ten times more than your employerâĶââMr. Valentine, this isnât just about money. Our employer has leverage over us. If we spare you, our families will die. So, you have to die,â the shorter man replied helplessly.âI canât die!â Jebediah shook his head.âIn the past, I would never have compromised even if someone had held a knife to my throat. Iâd never kneel and beg f
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1367 Youâre The One Who Killed Mr. Valentine
When she recovered from this trance, she realized that the rope on her body had been untied by the two men and the tape on her mouth had also been torn off.âMs. Simmons, Ms. Larson also asked us to give you a message on her behalf. She said that youâre the cause of this incident and youâre responsible for Mr. Valentineâs death.â A deep voice spoke beside Charlotteâs ear.Charlotte opened her lips but could not utter a word. All she could think of was the name âLorraine Larsonâ. She stared at Jebediah, who had lost his vitality, but Lorraineâs gorgeous face appeared right in front of her eyes.âHas everything been taken care of?ââDonât worry, boss. No evidence will be left behind.ââOkay, letâs go!âThe ward was located on the second floor, and the two men jumped out of the window and fled.Charlotte had been tied up for too long, so her arms and legs were sore and weak. She rested for at least a minute before being barely able to harness a tidbit of strength to support herself
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1368 Failure To Strangle Lorraine To Death
âSheâs lying. Donât be deceived by her hypocritical look. Sheâs at her best when sheâs trying to set someone else by the ears. Donât believe anything that came out of her mouth!â Immense anger caused Charlotte to tremble from head to toe, and flames of wrath were sparkling in her eyes.The officer who had just spoken looked down at Charlotte. âMs. Larson is outside at the moment. If you have any doubts, just go talk to her.âAs soon as the officer finished voicing his suggestion, another officer opened the door of the interrogation room seamlessly.Sure enough, Lorraine was sitting on a chair in the office outside. She was wearing semi-transparent pajamas that looked as thin as a cicadaâs wings, and her graceful body looked looming.Upon seeing her, Charlotte felt as if someone had dug an abyss in her heart, and a potpourri of emotions gushed out of this abyss hysterically!âLorraine Larson...â Uttering the name hatefully, Charlotte walked toward Lorraine step by step.The police

The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1425 Mr. Atson
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotteâs 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.âThis 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. Youâre welcome!âCharlotteâs expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.âI wonât let anyone see this. Donât worry.âCharlotte 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 Masseratiâs door and said in a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1424 Can You Still Drive?
âLoryâĶâ A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.âZachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. Heâs obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?âLorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, âYouâre wrong, Jez. Zachary isnât doing it with her to hurt me. Iâm nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. Heâs doing this because heâs so in love with Carlie that heâs lost control!ââUhâĶâ Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotteâs car, shook her head, and said, âLory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and Iâll take you anywhere you like. Isnât that much better?ââNo!â Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.âItâs all Charlotteâs fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1423 We Need A Ceremony
The corners of Charlotteâs lips twitched. âI donât think thatâs a good idea.ââWhy?â 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 supermodelâs.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 silhouetteâĶâD*mn it!âZachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotteâs body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.âBased on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know weâve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,â Charlotte replied calmly
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1422 Iâm Not Scared
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didnât want Zachary to do itâĶ But not because she didnât want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebelâs support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasnât worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didnât 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-driverâs seat.Zachary didnât speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1421 Assassin Versus Assassin
âWhat have you done?â Zacharyâs voice was as cold as a frosty wind.âIâve 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!âCharlotteâs entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.âHeheheâĶ Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldnât have said âher two kidsâ. Theyâre yours and Charlotteâs kids, arenât they?âLorraine 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. âHahahahaâĶ Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. Youâve always been fearless, but sheâs the only one whoâs ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isnât she?âZachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1420 The Wicked Woman
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. âZachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? Iâm pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the childâs well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?ââA wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.â Zacharyâs cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraineâs 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!âBut... wicked woman?âI didnât expect to be labeled as a âwicked womanâ in Zacharyâs heart someday!âAs he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zacharyâs eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1419 Any Last Words?
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. âMilady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that sheâs pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!âTherefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I donât 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 Masterâs house.âCharlotte 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 Ferrariâs door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotteâs car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. âCharlotte Simmon

âDonât forget who I am. Thereâs nothing that I canât find out as long as I want to know... AaaahââBaby, youâre hurting me. Donât be too greedy... Oh, slow down, Iâm on the phone. Oh. Owââ The manâs voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a womanâs moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. âUm... I can call you later if itâs inconvenient for you to speak now.ââThereâs no need. Itâs convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. Iâll get angry otherwise, understand?ââHmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!ââDonât keep us waiting!âThe sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, âMy little Simmons Princess, Iâve long heard people say that youâre still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but Iâve 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. âSheâs my wife right now, so sheâs your niece-in-law. You shouldnât call her âthat womanâ anymore.âThe corner of the manâs lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. âZach, even if sheâs your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, whoâs 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?ââYes,â Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. âI owe her a wedding, and I donât want them to interfere with my wedding.âThe man opened his mou
