“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
Despite her fear of Zachary, Charlotte visited him at the hospital every day.At the same time, due to her fear, she would keep Zachary company in the room for no longer than five minutes and then hastily leave.Zachary seemed just as cold and indifferent whenever she was around him. However, for some strange reason, he would feel as if something was missing every time she left, as if there was an emptiness deep inside him.A week passed in the blink of an eye.Charlotte arrived at Blue Water Bay to see her son.Zenios stopped Lucas at the doorway when he arrived.“We’re spending time as a family. Outsiders should remain outside.”Lucas raised his brow. “Pfft! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting, Zenios. If you’re sending me away, who knows what you’re planning to do with Mrs. Connor. I’m not just here to see her off. Second Master has asked me to keep an eye on you…”Bam! Zenios shut the door on Lucas’s face before he could continue.“You’ve crossed a line, Zenios
‘The Second Master’s jealousy symptoms have already grown severe! If he finds out about this…’Lucas did not want to upset Zachary, but he had to tell him—he had sworn to do his duty.Thus, the heartbroken Lucas pulled out his phone with tears in his eyes and began recording the entire event.Zenios’s pants were made from flammable material. Charlotte’s consistent patting may have somehow controlled the flames, but she could not extinguish them. Alas, they continued to spread.There was a cup of water on the coffee table, but she could not use water at this point.In the past, when Charlotte and Bryson used to go on bike rides for fun, they would play with fire in the wilderness. Based on her experiences, the flames on Zenios’s pants might be small, but they would spread rapidly if she slacked even for just a moment, and his entire body would go up in flames.Hence, she had no choice but to press on and pat the flames away.Lucas was beginning to regret not stuffing his earphone
Blue Water Bay.Charlotte had exhausted herself in order to extinguish the flames on Zenios’s pants and was currently sitting on the couch, resting. Zenios, whose entire thigh was filthy from the ashes, had gone to take a bath.Boom!She heard a loud noise come from outside. Then, Charlotte heard the butler snapping irritably. “Who do you think you are? What kind of person destroys someone’s door like that? Let me tell you that you’re damaging personal property, you… Ah! I’m so sorry… It’s you, Mr. Connor.”The butler immediately spoke with absolute reverence when he saw Zachary’s cold and lofty face.“How can I help you, Mr. Connor?”“Where is my wife?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a sharp knife.The butler lowered his head in fright and pointed his trembling finger toward the nursery in the southeast corner.Charlotte had heard Zachary’s voice and begun to wonder if it was just her imagination when the nursery room door was kicked open. As expected, Zachary stormed in.“
Charlotte heard a buzzing noise in her mind as soon as she saw Zachary remove his belt. She panicked. “Zachary, please explain yourself. What do you want?”“Aren’t you an expert at removing men’s belts? Are you telling me that you don’t understand?” The man’s eyes were as cold as ice. His tone was scornful and sullen.Charlotte was in a daze.The image of Victor whipping her with a belt burst into her mind…“Are you… going to hit me?”“Heh…” Zachary’s eyes flashed with increasing disdain and iciness.‘Charlotte Simmons! It’s come to this point, and she’s still pretending!’“Are you really going to hit me?”Charlotte confirmed her own suspicions when Zachary simply sneered in silence. She was both scared and in disbelief.“What’s going on, Zachary? What have I done wrong? Why are you doing this to me?”Zachary pushed her onto the couch as she spoke.“Zachary, let’s talk about this. What have I done to offend you? I— Ah!”‘Wait! He’s not taking out his belt to hit me… Then… W
Zachary was putting on his clothes coldly, and the mist in his eyes still had not dissipated.The image of her pleasing Zenios was still piercing his heart like a poisonous thorn.He thought of the intimate moment that had taken place between them just now. Charlotte had been crying aggrievedly throughout the whole process compared to the passion she showcased when she had taken the initiative to please Zenios...The thorn in his heart went deeper.“Carlie, I’m back... Second Uncle...” Zenios, who had just put on clean clothes and exited the bathroom, was first stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. Everything then started to make sense, and he understood what happened all of a sudden, “Second Uncle, are you even human? You actually did such a shameless thing!”Zenios completely lost his mind and roared while rushing to Zachary with a stern face.Before he got close to Zachary, Zachary’s fist had already hit his cheek firmly.“Argh!”Zenios collapsed on the floor first
