‘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
At the hospital...Lorraine lay in bed, the top half of her body wrapped in bandages.When Charlotte followed Zachary in, Lorraine glanced indifferently at her. The corners of her lips curved into a mocking sneer.“Based on the look on Carlie’s face, she must have dragged her feet here. You must’ve gone through a lot of effort to force her to come.”Zachary’s perfectly carved face showed no signs of emotion. “I don’t care about the process, only about the result. Anyway, she’s here to apologize to you.”He turned toward Charlotte. “You promised me on the way here, didn’t you? It’s time to fulfill that promise,” Zachary said, his tone no longer cold.Charlotte bit her lip indignantly. Despite her heavy reluctance, she looked at Lorraine and spat out reluctantly, “Sorry!”“Heh.” Lorraine’s sneer deepened.“I just can’t seem to feel the sincerity in your apology. It sounds more like I owe you something. I’m sorry, Carlie, but I can’t bear to accept that apology.”“You…” Charl
“Mind your own business.”Lorraine froze in place while standing in front of Zachary with her hands outstretched, ready to offer him her support. She felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head. Her limpid, beautiful eyes turned empty, as if they had lost their focus.“My affairs are none of your business.”Zachary’s cold voice addressed her again.Lorraine’s graceful figure shivered. Then, the corners of her lips curved into a bitter smile. “Zachary, I’ve always known that you were heartless, but I never thought that you’d actually be heartless to me.”The words that had come out of Zachary’s thin lips had been spoken in a sublime, cold, decisive tone.“Why waste your emotional effort on someone you don’t even care about?”Those words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Lorraine.The words “waste your emotional effort” were like ice picks piercing her heart.‘Zachary! He was once endlessly indulgent with me and cared greatly for me. Now, he belie
Charlotte listlessly trudged toward the hospital parking lot.She had left Lorraine’s ward for quite some time now. However, the experience of being forced by Zachary to apologize to Lorraine just so he could gain Lorraine’s favor still stabbed her mind like a needle.Lucas noticed Charlotte and immediately got out of the car to greet her.“Hey, milady. I really don’t think the Second Master dragged you here to apologize to Miss Lorraine just to make her happy, not judging by the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. I kept thinking about it and I think I understand now. The Second Master did all this for you.”“Hah! Hah!”Charlotte looked as if she had heard the greatest joke in the world.“Luke, I’m not stupid enough to completely miss such an obvious fact. Your Second Master threatened to destroy my entire family just to force me to apologize to the woman he loves.”“You wouldn’t have come if he hadn’t threatened you like that.”Lucas grinned as he explained, “Knowing
