“Mom!”Miranda couldn’t believe her ears.“Did the fireworks blow your wits out of your brain? Charlotte Simmons is the daughter of that old tramp, Kourtney Kleinman. She’s the little tramp whom you’ve been trying so hard to remove from our home, and you’re calling her your daughter-in-law?”Annalita shot Miranda a glare. “Mimi, I’ve taught you from a young age never to talk about someone behind their back. Why are you bad-mouthing her over and over again?”“Mom! What’s gotten into you? Have you forgotten? A few days ago, when you found out about her marriage to Zach, you ground your teeth and said that you would make her suffer, just like Lorraine, so that she’d be beaten into a retreat—”“Enough! Enough!”Annalita cut Miranda off.“I’m itching to find out. What are you waiting for? Bring me my present.”Miranda was helpless. She had no choice but to comply with Annalita’s request.A few minutes later, Miranda brought the exquisite gift to Annalita.“Open it.” Annalita hasti
As soon as they entered the door, Butler Benson greeted Zachary with Lucas. “Dr. Stewart has been here long ago. Go now.”Dr. Stewart was currently in Zachary’s bedroom.Charlotte thought that Zachary would not allow her to enter his bedroom, so she stopped just outside his bedroom door after following him throughout the whole journey.Upon seeing her stop, Zachary’s thin lips opened slightly, but he did not speak. In the end, everyone entered Zachary’s bedroom while Charlotte sat on the sofa in the living room alone.Lucas had told her that Zachary would be fine, but thinking about the amount of blood that was covering his body, Charlotte had terrible butterflies while waiting.About half an hour later, Dr. Stewart walked out of Zachary’s bedroom.Charlotte stood up immediately. “How’s Zachary?”The gentle-looking Dr. Stewart adjusted his silver glasses. “Second Master is much stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, after my treatment, most of the whiplashes on his body shoul
Charlotte sat down by the bed, holding the bottle in one hand and a cotton swab in the other. She stared fixedly at the area where she was going to apply the ointment for Zachary. Her heart was pounding like an insistent heavy drumming of rain beating upon a windowpane, and her hands shook intensely as if she was sieving flour.“Are you going to help me with the application or not?” Zachary’s melodious and arrogant voice sounded all of a sudden.“Uh, yeah... Yeah...” Charlotte’s lips widened and gave off a stiff grin. She tried to stabilize her trembling hands, inserted the cotton swab into the ointment bottle, and then stretched it toward Zachary inch by inch.“Are you going to apply it just like this?” The mellow voice that sounded just like a musical instrument came from the same direction again.Charlotte was stupefied. “Yeah... That’s what Dr. Stewart said.”Zachary’s perfect eyebrows were slightly furrowed. “So, you’re going to apply ointment on me through the clothes?”‘Wh
‘Why are there so many amusing people around such a cold and indifferent man!?’Dr. Stewart continued solemnly. “In addition, you should remember to apply the ointment for Second Master once a day throughout this coming week. And after this week, you should apply it every three days until Second Master recovers.”Charlotte almost suffered from hematemesis due to that statement.“Milady, what I told you is very important. Have you noted it down?”Charlotte responded with her blushed cheeks, “I know! I know! Now go!”Dr. Stewart nodded and then left in reassurance.Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when she heard a clear and gentle voice coming from the staircase outside.“Dr. Stewart, how is he?”“Ah! Ms. Larson, it’s you! Second Master was beaten very severely, but Mrs. Conn— Heh, Ms. Simmons and I have already applied the ointment for him, so he’ll be fine.” Dr. Stewar’s voice sounded very respectful.The clear and mellow voice said faintly, “Got it.”The light footsteps wer
“Aaah...” Lorraine let out a soft exclamation. At the same time, she panicked and pushed the drawer of the bedside table.This drawer was filled with very important items to Charlotte, so she was even more sure that Lorraine was stealing her things. Thus, Charlotte strode forward instantly.“What the hell did you take from my drawer? Open up your hands and raise them above your head. I want to search your body!”“Okay, you’re welcome to do so.” Lorraine smiled meaningfully and raised her hands per Charlotte’s request.Charlotte leaned over and inserted her hands into Lorraine’s pocket but saw that Lorraine picked up the mug on the bedside table all of a sudden and slammed it to the ground.Smash! Accompanied by a brittle crunch, the mug broke into pieces of various sizes.There was a “buzz” in Charlotte’s mind.She did not like to drink water, so in order to get her to drink more water, Coraline had given her this mug as a birthday gift last year. Since then, she had been drin
At first, Lorraine had pretended to go through her drawer just to lead Charlotte into searching her body, and then, step by step, she created an illusion that Charlotte was hurting her with the porcelain piece...Look at her now!At present, Lorraine was curled up on the floor, acting just like a victim, while Charlotte was holding the porcelain piece that she had snatched from her, and her body was bent forward, forming an arch over Lorraine’s body. How could all these details not make it look like she was assaulting Lorraine?There’s no way she could walk out of this mess looking like an angel now!“Hah!” Charlotte could not help but laugh. “Lorraine, I thought you were different from Tiffany, but it turns out that you’re also a shameless scheming b*tch.”“Carlie, what are you talking about... Aah... Don’t come near! Please don’t ruin my face!” Seeing that Charlotte was approaching her, Lorraine panicked and covered her face with both hands. “Zachary, hurry up and save me—”Bef
‘My god! Why do I have the feeling that Mrs. Connor is colder and more hard-hearted than the Second Master in certain aspects?’Lucas wanted to cry, yet no tears would come.Charlotte refused to stay in her room any longer. She threw the glass to the ground, turned around, and headed to the living room. It was clear that Lorraine had an exceptionally high IQ and EQ. She had played her part impeccably. Charlotte analyzed it from every angle but could not find a way to expose her.Actually, if it hadn’t been for this accident, Charlotte would have been under the impression that Lorraine wasn’t a bad person at all. To her surprise, Lorraine was an even bigger snake than Tiffany.“Mrs. Connor, are you feeling better? If you are, I’d like to give you the same advice—be more candid with the Second Master…”“Drop it!”Charlotte cut Lucas off.“Aren’t you his personal chauffeur? Lorraine was hurt pretty badly. He’s probably taking her to the hospital. Why aren’t you driving?”“Becaus
“Are you done complaining?”“No!”Charlotte knew that if she lifted her head and looked into Zachary’s cold and dignified gaze, she would be scared out of her wits and would no longer have the courage to yell at him. Thus, she stubbornly kept her head down.“He he… It’s so funny to hear you calling Lorraine ‘Lory’. Isn’t she your aunt now? Who would use such a cute nickname for their aunt, Mr. Connor? I guess you’re the only one.”“Anything else?” Zachary asked with an icy tone.Charlotte shook her head.She had said everything that needed to be said. She would accept whatever Zachary had in store to avenge Lorraine.“Alright then, come with me to the hospital now,” Zachary answered steadily in his magnetic voice.Charlotte furrowed her pretty brows. “Why should I go to the hospital?”“To apologize to my aunt,” Zachary replied, looking majestic like a king.Charlotte felt as if an atomic bomb had exploded in her head. “I’m not going!”She bravely lifted her head, disregardin
