"Paradise No.3."

Charlotte and Bryson had been living in this home with her father before getting married.

As she looked at the pictures of her and Bryson on the bedroom wall, she thought of Bryson again.

Charlotte was beautiful and outstanding. She had been the target of many great guys since her high school days, but she’d only ever had feelings for Bryson.

After meeting Bryson, she had eliminated every member of the opposite sex from her life and willingly filled her world only with Bryson.

She’d posted pictures of herself and Bryson on the wall...

There had always been a few extra pairs of shoes for Bryson in the shoe cabinet...

There had always been custom-made clothes for him in the closet...

"Miss, your parcel is here."

A parcel was placed on the sofa by her servant, Tom Benson.

Charlotte opened it and looked at the pair of silver knee pads in the package. Tears started streaming down her face.

The month before Charlotte and Bryson had gotten married, Bryson had used a cross-country bike to take her to the outskirts for rock climbing. On their way, they had gotten into an accident. Charlotte had been bleeding and the bike had broken down. Bryson had carried her and run all the way to the hospital, which had been three kilometers away.

The doctor had said that if she had not been transported there in time, not only would her life have been in danger, but she would also have been disfigured.

Later, Charlotte had learned that Bryson had suffered a leg injury in that accident and had collapsed right after taking her to the hospital.

After three major operations, although Bryson had been lucky enough to keep his legs, he’d still suffered from complications. Whenever it was cloudy or rainy, his legs would hurt as though they were being cut by a knife.

After Charlotte had been discharged from the hospital, she had ordered this customized pair of knee pads for Bryson from abroad.

This pair of knee pads used the most advanced nanotechnology, and the surface was covered with indestructible Mithril. Because of the complexity of the production process, it took a year to manufacture them and they’d only been delivered to Charlotte today.

Bryson had saved her life.

She had silently sworn that she would do everything in her power to protect Bryson and never let anything happen to him again!

Bryson!

How had they ended up like this?

Charlotte had nightmares the whole night, and her dreams were all about her break-up with Bryson.

She cried all night and when she woke up in the morning, her whole pillow was soaked.

After Charlotte got up, she walked out of the room with a black suitcase she had packed last night.

Alfred greeted her and said, "Miss, you just gave birth, so you need nutrition the most right now. There’s still plenty of time left before the time you and Zachary Connor agreed to meet. You should have something to eat before leaving."

Charlotte shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

She then insisted on walking to the car.

Alfred shook his head silently, as he knew how stubborn Charlotte was. He picked up the suitcase in Charlotte's hand. "Miss Charlotte, your body is still weak. Let me carry it for you."

Charlotte clutched the suitcase tightly as she said, "No need."

Alfred could only sigh silently.

He recognized this. It was Bryson’s suitcase.

Last year, Bryson and Miss Charlotte had kept this suitcase at her place temporarily after returning from a trip to Europe. Charlotte had stored it carefully. Why had she brought it out now?

What was in the suitcase?

Charlotte refused to let go, so Alfred helped her put the suitcase in the car. After he helped Charlotte get in the car, he looked at her haggard face and said in distress, "Miss Charlotte, I didn't close my eyes at all last night. I was thinking that if you really married Zachary Connor, that evil..."

"Alfred, don't talk about him."

She calmly interrupted Alfred, and the corners of Charlotte's mouth rose slightly.

"Take me to the Platinum Coast first?"

"What?!"

The Platinum Coast?

Wasn’t that Charlotte and Bryson's wedding house?

Alfred was anxious. "Miss Charlotte, when you went to find him yesterday, he turned you away ruthlessly. Don't you want to give up yet?"

Charlotte did not reply, but the corners of her mouth twitched.

Yesterday, when Bryson had told her at “The Pearl" that her life had nothing to do with him anymore, she’d no longer had feelings for him.

However, she had to see Bryson one last time!

    Alfred had been a butler for the Simmons Family for 30 years and knew Charlotte well. Although Charlotte did not answer him directly, he knew that Charlotte had consented. He sighed. "Even if you go, Bryson will act the same way he did last time. Why bother going?" Charlotte looked toward an unknown location in a daze as she said, "Alfred, just drive." Alfred had no choice but to start the car. About 20 minutes later, the car arrived outside the gate of the Platinum Coast villa. The door was shut. Charlotte could not help thinking about yesterday, when she’d stood alone outside the gate, waiting for Bryson after she had just given birth. So many things had happened in the past one day, and although it had just been over 20 hours, Charlotte felt like it had been a decade. "Miss Charlotte, are we going to keep waiting like this? Or should I just drive and hit the door? If we cause a ruckus, I don't believe that heartless man will still ignore us.” Alfred gritted his teeth i

    Crack! With a clear metallic sound, the lighter lit up. Alfred was about to throw the lighter into the suitcase, but Charlotte stopped him. "Wait!" Alfred said, "Miss Charlotte, do you still have anything to reminisce..." Charlotte's eyes were determined and ironic as she replied, "I'll do it myself!" She then took the lighter and threw it into the suitcase. A suitcase full of items, including Bryson’s photos, clothes, watches, shoes, and the pair of knee pads Charlotte had customized for him, were all soaked in gasoline. When they were exposed to the flame, they instantly started burning fiercely. Everything that Bryson had ever given Charlotte was inside too. Each of those items contained a precious memory, but after the fire, everything turned into ashes. This also symbolized that her feelings for Bryson had completely turned into ashes. As Charlotte looked at the flames, she disappointed herself, as tears started flowing down her face without her realizing it.

    "The Second Master didn’t follow you. He was just worried that Victor Rutherford would cause you trouble, so he sent someone to protect you in secret. But there’s no use saying this now, as the Second Master won’t waste any time on you in the future." Lucas handed over a contract, pushing it in front of Charlotte’s chest while he was speaking. "This is the prenuptial agreement that you signed yesterday afternoon. The first clause of the agreement states that you’re not allowed to have anything to do with your ex. The Second Master didn't do you wrong, did he?" Charlotte looked at the first clause of the agreement in a daze. Yesterday afternoon, she had reviewed the agreement before signing it. According to the agreement, if she violated any of the conditions, Zachary had the right to terminate the marriage... No matter the reason she had seen Bryson, she had violated the first clause of the agreement, and Zachary had not done her wrong! "I’ve been working for the Second Mas

    Zachary's expression was indifferent. His brows, which looked like an ink painting, rose slightly as he said, "I know." Charlotte could hear a buzzing sound in her mind. "Since you already know, why are you doing this to me?" Zachary said expressionlessly, "Because of the first clause of the agreement. Read it." Lucas had already given the contract to Charlotte, so she picked it up, found Clause One, and read it out loud. "Under no circumstances are you allowed to meet your ex. If you have to meet, you must ask Zachary Connor for permission." "Read the first three words again. Every single word." Zachary commanded her nonchalantly, like a king who could not be defied. Charlotte felt almost controlled by him. "Under. No. Circumstances!" Zachary then said, "So, why did you ask me why?" Charlotte was speechless for a while. Zachary Connor was right, and she could not argue with him. At that moment, Zachary handed her a white parasol. Charlotte grabbed the handle of

    "..." Lucas was going crazy. "Excuse me, Miss. Please just let me go. The Second Master has already made this very clear, and I don't want to upset him." Charlotte said, "Are you afraid of him?" Lucas concurred. Who wouldn’t be afraid of him in Rothesay? Charlotte said, "Since you’re so afraid of him, aren’t you afraid that I’ll speak ill of you when I become his wife in the future?" Lucas was obviously dumbfounded. He then laughed and said, "Miss, are you daydreaming? It's impossible for anything to happen between you and the Second Master." "Is it?" Charlotte walked across from Lucas one step at a time. Although her face was full of traces of tears, her eyes were still full of pride. "You said that Zachary has never given any woman the opportunity to approach him, but he gave me two. If he wasn't interested in me, why would he do that?" Lucas scratched his curly golden hair. "This is all in the past, okay? The Second Master won't give you a third chance." "How

    The Hathaway Group was a large enterprise with 321 branches under its umbrella. It was also a legend in the business world of Rothesay. The CEO of the Hathaway Group was Zachary Connor. The 100-story building of the group’s headquarters was located in the center of Rothesay City. Charlotte was stopped by a security guard as soon as she reached the gate. "Please show your pass." Charlotte raised her face. "I am Zachary’s friend. If you know what’s good for you, you'd better not stop me." The security guard was so frightened by Charlotte that he trembled. This woman had dared to call Mr. Connor by his first name, so her background could not be simple. Although Mr. Connor had always been cold and uninterested in women, this woman was attractive and beautiful. She may be the lover Mr. Connor had been secretly seeing. Would he get in trouble if he accidentally offended her? The security guard was hesitant to let Charlotte in. At that moment, another security guard said, "I

    Charlotte was already out of breath. She calmed down her breathing as much as she could and said bluntly, "This may be meaningless to you, but it’s the only way out for me. My father will be taken to court by Victor Rutherford. I have no other choice but to marry you." Ah... The man had prominent facial features, and there was a twinkle of scorn in his clear eyes. "Victor Rutherford is just sending your father to jail. If you upset me, I’ll wipe out the entire Simmons Family." Charlotte shivered in fear. Every time she stood in front of Zachary Connor, she felt like she was just a lone boat wandering in the vast ocean. His cold, dominant aura seemed able to shred her to pieces at any time. However, she could not retreat. Reality would not allow her to do so. She mustered all the courage she’d accumulated for the past 20 years and looked at Zachary firmly. "I know my limitations. I can’t afford to upset you, so I won't upset you ever again. Let's get married. When we get m

    Zachary Connor’s body went stiff. For a moment, he stood still in a daze. Charlotte went all out. She dived into Zachary's arms and wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him harder and deeper. Everyone was stunned. Watching this was even more terrifying than watching a horror movie. It took at least three seconds before Zachary snapped out of his daze. He pushed Charlotte away violently and strangled her neck with his right hand. "Woman, do you have a death wish?!" The powerful strength of the man made Charlotte feel like her neck was about to snap. She could not breathe or make a sound. What scared her even more was Zachary's devilish eyes. He gritted his white teeth so hard that they clicked. Even the breath he exhaled from his mouth and nose was cold. Charlotte knew that she had angered the beast in Zachary Connor. She had no doubt that Zachary would strangle her to death. Everyone was frightened by Zachary Connor’s rage, and no one dared move forward t

    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 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

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.

    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
