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
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
