Charlotte lifted her face and frowned. “You were standing so far away, but it seems that you overheard my entire conversation with Tiffany. You say that I bullied her. How did I accomplish that?”“I didn’t hear your conversation, but I can guess. You must have slandered her, just like you did during her concert. You must have shown her some disgusting, filthy thing. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so upset!”Bryson’s handsome face darkened, and so did his eyes. He frowned, greatly resembling a demon.“Hah!” Charlotte snorted. “That’s right, you’re absolutely right! I’ve shown her something absolutely disgusting and unfit for her eyes. She was disgusted upon seeing it. It was a video clip of her lying to you and cheating on you with a male escort. She even asked him to dress up like a male celebrity.”“You…” The tall, handsome man nearly lost control. He was on the brink of giving her a slap. Then, just as he lifted his hand, he forced himself to contain his temper. He glared at Charlott
By this point, Tiffany was so consumed with grief that she could barely speak.Bryson patted Tiffany’s back comfortingly. His eyes were filled with disappointment as he watched Charlotte walk away.As she cried, a victorious smile crept onto Tiffany’s face, both wicked and enchanting at the same time.‘Charlotte Simmons! Oh… Why are you so stupid? You once sacrificed your virginity to a complete stranger because of your love for Bryson. Now, you just gave up on a great opportunity for revenge just to save Zachary Connor!’After all, Charlotte was Zachary’s legal wife. If he died, she would be the first in line to get his inheritance. She would become the wealthiest woman in Rothesay after his death!‘If I were Charlotte, I would watch Zachary get killed by the venom, then release the video on the internet. That way, I would have both money and revenge… But Charlotte’s missed her chance, and it will be extremely difficult for her to get another one.’Tiffany was used to an overind
Charlotte blinked. “To save you, of course.”“I know…” The handsome man replied, his lips curling into a smile. “That video was the key to exposing Tiffany Miller. I’m asking you, was it worth it just to do that for me?”Charlotte saw the light suddenly. “Well, you have been kind to me, Mr. Connor. Besides, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt if it were not for me, so there’s no way I would have let you die to get my own revenge. I’m not a sadist.” ‘Mr. Connor? How long is she going to call me that?’Zachary’s face sank. “That’s it?”“Huh?” Charlotte was frightened by Zachary’s menacing glare and ominous tone. Then, she added with a self-deprecating grin, “Although you’re a cold fish, you’re a scary person, and there’s no hint of affection between us, you’re my legal husband anyway. Since we’re a family, it goes without saying that I won’t leave you alone if something happens to you.” The moment she finished speaking, Charlotte realized that the expression on Zachary’s face had bec
It was only then that Charlotte returned to her senses from the shock, and her face was burning and looked bright red.“I’m sorry, I… I didn’t mean to do that. I’m truly sorry…”She tried to get up, but to no avail. Her arms and legs seemed to have their own thoughts, and the more nervous she was, the more her limbs refused to listen to her commands. She was just halfway up when she suddenly lost her purchase and her left hand slipped from the pillow that she was pressing herself against. Then, with a loud scream, she fell on Zachary’s face again.This time, she fell even harder.“Pfft!”‘Oh, God!’Charlotte was so embarrassed that she wanted to kill herself by biting her tongue.“Sorry… I…”“I’m very sorry…”Charlotte did not know how she got up in the end. She did not dare even look at Zachary. Like a nun who had been caught breaking the ten commandments, she panicked as she fixed her own clothes. Just as she was about to run away, Zachary’s long, powerful arms came out
Suddenly, she felt Zachary’s body shudder. Then, he ceased to move, lying motionlessly on top of her. Confused, Charlotte looked at him and asked, “What, what’s wrong?”However, Zachary remained silent as he stared at her. His chiseled face was expressionless, but his deep brows frowned slightly.“Are you alright?” Charlotte calmed down and stopped struggling when she saw Zachary’s strange reaction.“I…” Zachary was in so much pain and was so weak that he could barely talk. After taking a few deep breaths, he then said painfully, “Go… Call the doctor.”It was only then that Charlotte realized something was not right. She struggled to prop herself up with Zachary laying on top of her and looked at his back. The gauze used to bandage the wound on his back was wet with blood, and her fingers were stained with blood as well. ‘Did I accidentally hit his wound while I was struggling just now?’Very soon, the doctor arrived and quickly restitched Zachary’s wound. Then, before he left
“Erm… I didn’t mean to hurt you. The only thought on my mind at the time was breaking free from your hold. I forgot that you’re injured. I… He he he…”However, Zachary did not say anything. He just stared at her with his pair of deep-set eyes. Charlotte’s nerves were so highly strung that she was on the verge of collapsing. In the end, she decided to throw caution to the wind and said, “Alright then! It’s pointless to explain anything right now. Yes, I caused your wound to open up. Yes, I caused you pain. Stop beating around the bush and get it over with. I'm tired of playing the guessing game.""Pffft—"This time, water gushed out of Lucas's mouth like a fountain. Zachary’s prominent eyebrows twitched slightly, as he couldn’t help curling his lips upward. “I used quite a lot of strength when I pressed your hands on the pillow just now, so I’m asking if your hands are still okay or not.” Charlotte could not believe what she had heard.She raised her hands, and her eyes were clo
Zachary’s eyes were cold. “How many people have seen this video?”“There are already more than 130 million views on the video platform that I'm on alone, and considering that this video was also posted on other platforms by the people who took it, I estimate that at least 300 million people have seen it.”‘300 million! More than 300 million people have seen Charlotte’s naked body!’When this realization hit him, Zachary felt as if there was a huge boulder on his chest, and a surge of overwhelming sorrow that he had never felt before rose from the depths of his stomach pit…He took a large gulp of warm water from the cup and commanded, “Inform all the online video platforms and ask them to take down the video.”“Huh?!” Lucas touched his oversized earring, trying to get over the shock.“Second Master, although it takes a large sum of money to completely erase that video from the Internet, and we can definitely do that considering our capability, I think that this might be a great o
The concern in Zenios’s eyes finally dissipated.Now that he had received confirmation of Zachary’s safety, Zenios was no longer in a rush to see him. He gently tugged at Charlotte’s arm. “Have you been online? That video of you speeding away with Second Uncle on your motorcycle has gone viral. Everyone’s calling you Supergirl now.”‘Huh? Well, that explains why someone asked if I was Wonder Woman.’Charlotte shrugged nonchalantly. “They can call me whatever they want.”“Carlie, you have no idea how valuable that name is…”Zenios’s clear blue eyes shone with glee and excitement.“A lot of people in the entertainment industry have splurged a fortune just to gain hype and attract more attention, yet they’ve never succeeded. Many have resorted to all sorts of weird tactics just to get on camera and go viral, but they’ve ended up looking like clowns. You’re different, Carlie. It may not have been your intention, but you’re already viral.”“So what?” Charlotte curled her lips indif
