Her brain had reduced into a muddled mess pressed under Zachary’s kingly oppression. She had already forgotten her original intention of asking the question, and all she wanted to do right now was to end the conversation as soon as possible.At that moment, she failed to notice the flash of disappointment that flitted across Zachary’s perfectly sculptured face.“Lucas…”The anticipation in his icy eyes slowly dissipated as he looked away from Charlotte.“You answer her question.”“Aye, aye, sir!” Lucas was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor, and his eyes glowed with enthusiasm.“Do you see it now, milady? Do you see how much faith Second Master has in me? Do you see how he willingly let me answer a question of such gravity on behalf of him? You used to give me a skeptical look whenever I told you I’m his capable assistant, so do you believe me now?”However, Charlotte did not reply. She stared blankly at him, with her eyes widened in shock.On the other side, Zachary’s brows w

Charlotte and Zachary returned to Divine Sanctuary District together.Charlotte had received a video call from Coraline.“Congrats, Carlie. You’re viral now.”Charlotte seemed completely calm. “There’s nothing to congratulate me on.”“Hah! Are you serious, Carlie? Do you have any idea how famous you are right now? Your name is on every news outlet. Did you know that some notable celebrities rack their brains to make a name for themselves but never make it on headline news? You’ll have tons of big directors and producers fighting to have you if you join the entertainment industry now!”Coraline smiled sneakily as she said this.“Hehe, and even if you don’t want to join the acting world, you could start an account on social media and be a celebrity internet host. You could help me sell my clothes…”Charlotte giggled. “Alright then, you just wait and see!” She went online to check things out.As expected, the entire internet was filled with news on her “fight” with Tiffany.

“Can’t you knock?”Zachary spoke in a cold voice through his lips, riddled with water droplets.Only then did Charlotte snap back into her senses. A delayed reaction of embarrassment overwhelmed her in a fit of hysteria, causing her to blush furiously. “Ah… Sorry, sorry. I’m so sorry. I… didn’t know you were here! I really didn’t know you were…” She fumbled over her words in panic, turned around, and prepared to leave.“Get back here!”His noble yet majestic voice rang like an icy wind. Charlotte was stupefied from shock.She was immediately reminded of the first time Zachary had kissed her and his frosty gaze. She also remembered how he had nearly strangled her to death when she had sleepwalked all the way into his bed. He had even warned her not to overstep ever again.This time, not only had she walked into the bathroom while he was in the shower, but she had stared at him for a very long time too…‘I’m doomed! Not even God can save me now!’ Charlotte shut her eyes in despair
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 148 Passion, Interrupted
Charlotte shivered.Zachary pushed her up against the wall.She was lost in a reverie and wrapped her arms around him.Everything spiraled out of control!The cold frost within his pupils gradually melted away…Unfortunately…“Second Uncle, Carlie is even more important to me. Without her, my life would be meaningless!“You took advantage of my absence from the country and married Carlie before I could. I may be late, but it doesn’t matter. I’ll win in the end.“Carlie is no more important to you than other antiques in your house. She’s, at best, an antique that you love, but you don’t love her as a person. I’m more qualified than you to stand by her side as her lover!”Everything that Zenios had said to him immediately echoed in his mind like an incantation. These words were like a bucket of ice-cold water, splashed upon Zachary’s head, awakening him from his passion-driven stupor. He realized that he was only one step away from sealing the deal with Charlotte and suddenl
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 149 Have I Disturbed Your “Homework”?
‘Charlotte Simmons! What are you disappointed about? Have you forgotten who you are to Zachary? The one and only time you both had sex was because he used you to release his frustrations from a drug! He’d never take that step with you sober! Besides, he once used a forced kiss as your punishment. Now you’ve made another mistake, so of course he’d use the same punishment on you, even if you’ve consummated your marriage! Oh, Charlotte Simmons! He would have tortured you even more than the last time if he hadn’t relented and stopped!’Zachary donned a loose nightgown.He stood by the window in front of his bedroom, and moonlight shone upon him like silver sprinkles, which made him seem even more perfect and elegant than ever.However, Zachary’s thoughts were not elegant at all!Despite having pushed Charlotte away, his soul seemed to linger in that bathroom. Even now, he could still feel Charlotte’s body wrapped around his…‘D*mn it! What’s wrong with me?’He never had any interest
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 150 Charlotte Explains The Bathroom Incident
In the end, even Lucas, who was an informant wunderkind that could unearth the deepest darkest secrets in the world, could not find anything on Tiffany at all.Tiffany’s backer hadn’t just wiped away every speck of dirt on her, but they had cleared her of any clues.Her benefactor was clearly powerful.‘That explains how she managed to have Bryson wrapped around her little finger!’Charlotte was tossing and turning in bed.She couldn’t shake this feeling that she owed something to Zachary.Finally, she set her alarm to 06:00 a.m. and got up bright and early when it rang the next morning.As expected, Zachary, who had a habit of reading in the morning, was standing in front of the French windows, reading classic literature. “A-hem!” Charlotte cleared her throat. This was also a means for her to gather her courage.“Uh… You’re up pretty early. Do you get up at five every morning to read books?”Zachary swept his gaze toward her, then turned his attention back on his book.“Mm

However, given her mastery in reading a person’s emotion, Charlotte could not understand the reason behind the change in Zachary’s gaze.And now, she did not have to think about these anymore as she had told Zachary everything that she should have told him. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief and stay far away from him.“Sorry for the interruption. You should continue with what you were doing.” Charlotte turned around in a hurry before she could finish the whole sentence.“Don’t forget, you’re the one who took the initiative to kiss me last night.” Zachary’s cold and melodious baritone that resembled a sound made by a flute from the peak of a snow-capped mountain suddenly came from behind.Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat, and at the same time, her cheeks seemed to be on fire.“Charlotte, since you want to clarify everything to me, I might as well do the same with you.” The faint but heavy footsteps gradually approached, but Zachary stopped when he was only a palm’s distanc

The servants had prepared breakfast.Charlotte and Zachary had been married for more than a month, and they had only eaten on the same table a few times. Zachary ate naturally, but because of his cold and majestic temperament, Charlotte still felt very stressed.Therefore, Charlotte only took a few bites before putting down the tableware and left in a hurry.“Where are you going?” Zachary asked casually.Charlotte answered with a smile, “My studio.”After speaking, she felt that her response to Zachary sounded very rude, practically ending the conversation in an awkward place, so she added, “Painting is what I do, and that studio is where I work. So from now on, if there are no exceptional circumstances, I’ll go to my studio to paint and sell my paintings, is that alright?”Zachary looked unconcerned. “Yes.”Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief.Before this, she was worried that Zachary, the president of the legendary Hathaway Group, would look down upon her profession as an ord

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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1424 Can You Still Drive?
“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 CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1423 We Need A Ceremony
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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1422 I’m 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 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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1421 Assassin Versus Assassin
“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
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. “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
