The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 26 The Winner
Charlotte couldn't help but smile. "So you haven't gotten off work yet, right?" The woman looked at the couple bitterly. "Of course not. Their divorce is more important than anything. Even if I don't get to eat or starve to death by the workstation, I still have to work overtime for them to get divorced." "Okay, got it. Thank you..." Charlotte turned to look at Zachary. "Mr. Connor, you heard that, right?" Zachary looked disdainful. "You’re simply wasting my time." This woman just would not stop! She had clearly lost, so what was the point of pulling him here just to listen to this female staff member complain? Charlotte raised her face. "Mr. Connor, surely someone as smart as you would know that he’s lost?" As if he had just heard a huge joke, Zachary had a combination of joy and anger in his eyes, which looked like a painting. "According to the bet we agreed on, if you got to the city hall before noon, you’d be considered the winner. When you arrived, it was alrea
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 27 Marriage Certificate
"..." Mr. Zebrowski was obviously dumbfounded. He couldn’t help looking at Charlotte Simmons, who was sitting next to Zachary Connor. She had to be Mr. Connor's wife-to-be, right? Couples who came to the city hall to receive their marriage certificate would normally be filled with joy, so why was Mr. Connor’s expression as dark as night? Fine! Mr. Connor always had the same cold look, as if he had facial paralysis. How many people had actually seen him smile? When Mr. Zebrowski saw Zachary Connor's straight face, he did not dare speak anymore and he hurriedly arranged for someone to go through the marriage procedure for Zachary Connor and Charlotte Simmons. A few minutes later, Charlotte and Zachary took their wedding photos. The photographer looked at Zachary Connor's face through the lens. "Please smile, sir." Zachary Connor was expressionless. The photographer said, "Most people only get married once in their lives. This wedding photo will likely follow you for t
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 28 Bad Feeling
Charlotte Simmons, the woman who had been betrayed and hurt by the person she’d loved the most, was in the same boat with him. She had ulterior motives for marrying him, but she’d smiled very brightly! Charlotte Simmons, the woman who had beaten him in a bet twice in a row! Charlotte Simmons, a weak but stubborn woman! Charlotte Simmons... Darn it! What had happened to him? His marriage to that woman was nothing more than a deal. Why couldn’t he stop thinking about her name? When Charlotte drove home, she drove past Bryson's seaside villa. She saw Bryson walking by the man-made lake outside the courtyard while holding Tiffany. "Bryce, the person in that car looks like Charlotte." Tiffany pointed at Charlotte from a distance. Bryson turned his gaze to Charlotte. Charlotte did not stop or slow down. She simply drove away. The moment she had burned Bryson's belongings with her own hands, she and Bryson had been completely over! She was Zachary Connor's wife now.
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 29 Could Not Escape
Victor Rutherford grinned. "Did you think I wouldn’t know? It’s precisely because you married Zachary Connor that I’m even more excited." "..." Charlotte panicked. She had not expected Victor to be so audacious even though he knew that she was Zachary Connor's wife. "Charlotte, although it’s a little inconvenient for you since you’ve just given birth, I don't care. Today, I’ll ask the bodyguard to record the entire process and post it online… Of course, I won’t expose my own face. I’ll get someone to blur my face out, but your face will be completely exposed. You’ll lose your reputation as the most wanted socialite. When that happens, Zachary Connor will definitely look down on you and kick you out." Charlotte looked at Victor as though she was looking at a monster. "Victor Rutherford, you’re crazy!" "Even if I'm crazy, it’s because of you, you disobedient, rebellious woman! Ha ha..." "Ha ha ha ha..." While Victor was laughing maniacally, he pounced on Charlotte. He
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 30 Into My Arms
Zachary took a few big steps on his long legs and, in the blink of an eye, he was already next to the sofa. Victor Rutherford was fat and shaped like an egg. He also weighed more than 180 pounds. Zachary's strength was so great that he grabbed Victor by his clothes and lifted him away from Charlotte before throwing him on the ground. "Ouch…" Victor was stunned by Zachary’s aura. He was thrown to the ground face-down, and though he was hurting and bleeding, he dared not scream in pain. He could only endure it and look at Zachary fearfully. The two bodyguards who were holding Charlotte's hands and feet let go of her and stood there in a daze. They did not even dare breathe. "Tell me what the consequences of upsetting me are." Zachary's voice was like a wind blowing from the top of a snow-capped mountain, coming down on Victor coldly. Victor shuddered in fear. "Mr. Connor, I swear I won’t ever do it again in the future. I deserve to die! I deserve it! I deserve it..." Vict
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 31 Stop Dreaming
“Stop dreaming,” Zachary replied, his voice emotionless as he looked icily at the woman in front of him. “I would have done the same for any woman that became my wife. You’re not special at all.”Charlotte’s lips curled into a self-deprecating smile as she said, “Save your breath. I know my own place.”She wasn’t special?The higher the status of a person, the more they cared about their reputation. She had publicly defeated Zachary twice and won two bets. In other words, she had left him with an egg on his face twice in public. Therefore, it was considered a blessing from God that Zachary was not holding a grudge against her, and she was not foolish enough to think that she deserved a special place in his heart. Zachary did not answer but scanned her up and down with a clearly disdainful gaze. Then, he turned around and left the bathroom. He slammed the door shut. His black, jewel-like eyes were dark as he listened to the rippling sound of water that wafted from the bathroom.
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 32 Are You Seducing Me?
Holding a cigarette between his lips, Zachary looked ahead expressionlessly, his eyes deep as the fathomless sea. Nobody dared to say anything, and the atmosphere in the hall was oppressive. Time passed second by second, and each second was as long as a century for Victor. Roughly eight minutes later, a series of footsteps were heard from the other side of the door. The footfalls grew louder and louder and then stopped. The door was pushed open, and two men, one tall and one short, stepped into their line of vision and appeared in the living room. Both of them bowed reverently before Zachary and said, “Mr. Connor, we heard you were looking for us?”Victor took a glance at the two men, and his stomach started to flip-flop. He had never seen anyone as ugly as them before. Not only were their facial features grotesque, but their faces were also filled with purplish-red cysts to the point that he could smell their stench even though there was still some distance between them. Vi
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 33 Angel/Devil
’What?’‘What did he mean by that? I’m clearly wrapped in a large towel!’Besides, Victor had torn her clothes to shreds. This towel was the only thing in the bathroom that was big enough to cover her entire body!‘What more does he want from me?’‘Was I supposed to stay in the bathtub forever?’Charlotte wasn’t in the mood to argue with Zachary. She pursed her lips and trudged resentfully toward her bedroom.Zachary shot a nonchalant glance at her figure.‘Charlotte Simmons!’‘How typical! She’s just like any other celebrity—stupid.’They all thought that they could worm their way into his good graces simply by stripping and exposing their naked bodies in front of him.More than five minutes later, Charlotte re-entered the living room after putting on a new set of clothes.Zachary had only intended to glance at her at first… but he couldn’t seem to tear his eyes away from her. This time, Charlotte was wearing a white shirt, casual pants, and comfy sports shoes. She looked f

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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1419 Any Last Words?
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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1418 Investigation On Jezebel’s Father
“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
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 1417 Third Master? (2)
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
