Then Charlotte finally understood…Zachary may be a cold-blooded devil, but his heart wasn’t always cold.It had the capacity for warmth too.“Then, what about your baby?”Zachary, who was a master of concealing emotions, actually felt his throat quiver. His voice was trembling.‘The girl whom I’ve been looking for… It’s Charlotte! I’m the man who had her!’The 23-year-old Zachary had never been so ecstatic in his life.Charlotte’s eyes were filled with tears. Her petal-like lips trembled continuously.“He’s our baby!”“Are you sure?”Zachary remembered that Charlotte and Bryson had been dating for a very long time. That baby’s father could be Bryson too. The thought of that turned Zachary’s gaze into ice once again.“I’m sure! I’m sure!” Charlotte couldn’t seem to contain herself, and she had no idea why. For the first time ever, she had forgotten all manner of decorum in front of Zachary. She was chattering away like a kid, completely carried away.“I had never had sex
Lucas turned around and said, “Second Master, my major discovery is that the girl you have been looking for is with us the entire time. She’s Mrs. Connor!”Zachary then replied expressionlessly, “Okay.”Lucas was so surprised that he clawed at his oversized earrings. He looked at Zachary and then at Charlotte.“Erm, Second Master, maybe you didn’t get what I’m saying. I’ve run a thorough check, and I can confirm that the girl who spent the night with you eleven month ago is—”“I got it,” Zachary interrupted Lucas flatly. “The focus of your concern right now is not me, nor Charlotte, but Tiffany Miller.”“Huh!?” Lucas opened his pair of clear eyes so wide it seemed as if they were about to fall out of their sockets. In the past, Zachary used to get jealous of Charlotte over a trifling thing. Therefore, Lucas expected him to be delighted when he revealed the joyful truth to him. However, not only did he not say anything and maintain as cool as a cucumber, but he also asked him t
“What do you want?”Charlotte’s cheeks turned even redder as she met Zachary’s piercing gaze that could sap out one’s soul. Her brain dissolved into a mush, and she began to talk incoherently, “No… No… There’s nothing that I want… Ahem… Ahem…”Zachary parted his thin lips. Just when he was about to say something, Lucas chimed in, “Second Master, there’s no way a pretty, ladylike, and kind woman like Mrs. Connor would shed away her dignity and ask for money openly no matter how much she wants it. Am I right, milady?”Charlotte’s brain was a muddled mess. “What are you talking about…”Lucas squinted his eyes at Zachary. “Hehe, Second Master, did you see that? Mrs. Connor is too shy to ask!”Zachary nodded, “Okay!”Just when Charlotte was wondering what they were talking about, a bank card that gave off a golden radiance appeared in her vision. Zachary said as he held the card in his hand, “I applied for a new one after I tore up the last card. The password is still your birthday.
Zenios first felt a cold, hard texture unlike Charlotte’s hands. Then, a second later, he realized the person standing in front of him was now Zachary.“Second… Uncle…” Panicked, he shook off Zachary’s hand as embarrassment and disappointment instantly flared in his demure blue eyes.“If you want to shake my hand, just let me know, Second Uncle. There’s no need for you to use such a roundabout way.”Zachary’s expression was dark, and his eyes were cold. “You should be thanking me for saving you. Otherwise, if you’d managed to touch your Second Aunt’s hand, the right side of your face would have been marked with the same fist mark as the left side of your face.”‘Alright then!’Zenios knew his Second Uncle really meant it. Zachary had warned him more than once not to touch Charlotte, and he knew his Second Uncle would not go easy on him if he ignored his warning.“Alright, thank you, Second Uncle!” Zenios said with a pout. “Anyway, what is the thing you wanted to tell me when
“Carlie, although I have lied to you in this case, I swear to God, in the more than three years I have been with you, this is the only time I have lied to you. I promise this is the last time I lied to you. I will never betray your trust again in the future!”Charlotte did not know what she should say. She was angry and disappointed in Zenios, but at the same time, she felt sorry for him.Zenios gazed excitedly into Charlotte’s eyes. “But Carlie, no matter what happened, we were together that night, and I’m definitely the father of the baby you gave birth to. I’m still doing everything in my power to locate him, and I promise I will bring our son back.”Charlotte could not speak right now, as her eyes were full of tears.Zachary then chimed in, “Well, that’s what you should do as a brother.”Zenios snapped. “That’s enough, Second Uncle! I’m looking for my son, not my brother. How can you mix that up? The person who was with Carlie is…”“Zachary,” Charlotte said, her voice hoars
Charlotte lifted her eyebrows and said, “Get up from the floor first, and I’ll tell you.”It was only then that Zenios took Charlotte’s hand and slowly got to his feet.A second later, he heard Charlotte say, “You’ll help me seduce Tiffany.”He was so shocked that his legs went limp and he nearly fell to the floor again. After the initial shock ebbed away, there was only disappointment left in his blue eyes, which resembled the sea.“Carlie, I understand that you don’t want me to wallow in sadness and you’re using this way to make me feel happy, but there’s no use. You will never understand how I’m feeling right now, and nothing in this world can alleviate the sadness in my heart.”“I’m not joking. I’m serious. Not long ago, I found out by chance that Tiffany found another man, had him pretend to be you, and… Sigh…”Charlotte’s face burned red from embarrassment when the intimate scene of Tiffany and fake Zenios appeared in her head.“Well, I will leave the rest to your imagin
“Those useless thugs you’ve hired have all been drugged. They’re all out cold in the security room. Your house is like a public park now. Anyone can come and go whenever they want, including Zachary Connor, who’s eager to take your life.”“Argh!” Tiffany screamed.“Zachary… He’s blacklisted me. He’s gotten what he wanted. My debt with him has been paid. Why is he trying to kill me?”“Aren’t you good with schemes? When did you become so stupid? You’ve done so much to hurt Charlotte Simmons. Do you really think that Zachary would write off your debt?”The man’s eyes were as sharp as knives, emitting a dangerous, cold light in the darkness.Tiffany shivered.“Who are you? How do you know so much?”The man smirked. “Why, I’m your mysterious backer.”Tiffany gasped. “So it’s you! You… You’re finally willing to see me… Could you step into the light? I want to see your face.”“You’re not worthy.”The man’s grim voice sounded like he had risen from the depths of hell.“Remember, I’v
Lucas, who was standing behind Zachary, said with a grin, “Hurry it up then, or Second Master’s patience will run out. He’ll cut off your tongue, and then you’ll lose your chance at leniency.”Tiffany trembled as if she had been shocked by a jolt of electricity. Her already pale, sickly face was now so white that it had no color at all.“Eleven months ago, I had just escaped from Burasia to Rothesay. A mysterious man contacted me. He had his subordinates transfer some money to me and promised to help me break Bryson and Carlie’s relationship, wipe off my filthy past in Burasia, and help me live happily ever after with Bryson, as long as I did exactly as he said…”“Hah!”Lucas burst into laughter.“You and that schmuck, Bryson, are certainly living happily ever after. You’ve been playing him like a fiddle. You must be very happy. You’ve cheated on him countless times, so he must be very happy too. You’re such a happy couple… Oh…”Lucas met Zachary’s icy glare, so he promptly shut
