Zachary had seen Charlotte “hurting” Lorraine with his own eyes. Charlotte thought that he would have done something to stand up for Lorraine.However, it seemed like Zachary had completely forgotten the entire incident. He never even chastised her. Charlotte knew that she would never be able to convince him without evidence. Since Zachary did not pursue the matter, she took it as a good sign and dropped the matter.The next day, Zachary recuperated at home while Charlotte went to the art studio.At 10:15, she grew tired of painting, so she stood by the window and stared into space. At that moment, two people walked in hand in hand. Thinking that they were just regular customers, she greeted them without getting a proper look at their faces.“If you’d like to make a purchase, there are price tags on the paintings. The paintings without price tags are temporarily not for sale. Please enjoy the art.”“I’m only interested in your art pieces, so just point them out to me so I won’t
Was this really the very same Annalita who had imposed the family law upon Zachary just to break them apart?“He he he…”Charlotte grinned nervously.“Uh… If you really like my artwork, you can just take the paintings. You don’t have to pay.”“How could I possibly do that? We may be family, but I can’t possibly take something without paying. It’s true, I like your artwork. Besides, it’s my way of supporting your career. I won’t take them if you won’t take my money.” Annalita gazed at Charlotte with benevolence and kindness.Charlotte was speechless. She was beginning to think that she was dreaming, so she secretly pinched her waist… and felt a huge sting…‘Alright then! I’m awake.’Miranda’s face immediately turned an ugly shade.Albert methodically picked out Charlotte’s paintings. Annalita, who had now stopped talking, quietly evaluated Charlotte.Charlotte’s heart drummed against her chest.She felt apprehensive when she thought of the trouble Annalita had caused her.She
‘But let’s just hold Annalita off for now.’Now that Lorraine was aggressively pursuing Zachary, he would probably submit to Lorraine in less than a month if she maintained her momentum, and Charlotte would be kicked out the door…Charlotte escorted Annalita and Miranda out of the door and watched them get in the car.She waited for their car to drive off into the distance before returning to her studio… Then, she saw Tiffany standing at the corner of the street, watching her furtively.Realizing that Charlotte had spotted her, Tiffany immediately turned around and hid behind a tree. Charlotte smirked. “I saw you. Stop hiding!”“Hmph!”Tiffany sulkily stomped toward Charlotte.“It’s nothing. I was just really bored after being blacklisted. I’ve lost my acting roles, so I wanted to watch Annalita make life difficult for you.”“Oh, really?” Charlotte proudly lifted her face.“I’m sorry for disappointing you.”“That’s right, I’m very disappointed. Who would’ve thought that y
“You were acting pretty superior, weren’t you? I only gave you a reminder, and you’re already so frightened? Come on, strangle me! What are you waiting for? I slapped you. You should hit me back!”“You! You… You…”Tiffany was trembling all over and glaring at Charlotte. She couldn’t strangle Charlotte or retreat.At that moment, a dumpster truck stopped right behind Tiffany and picked up the trash can in front of the shop to take out the trash.Charlotte smirked. She grabbed Tiffany’s arm and threw her over her shoulder with all her might.“ARGH!”Frail, delicate Tiffany only weighed around 48 kilos. She screamed as Charlotte tossed her into the trash can as it was being picked up with a loud crash. “ARGH… UGH!”The garbage gagged Tiffany’s mouth.The garbage truck’s mechanical arms flipped the trash can, tossing Tiffany into the truck full of trash. Tiffany was now foul and filthy thanks to the variety of trash, both dry and wet, as if she had fallen into a cesspool.“Oh my
Miranda, who was already extremely angry at Charlotte, was even more furious after being inflamed and agitated by Tiffany. “Huh! You may be afraid of her, but I’m not. Just you wait, Tiff. I swear on my name that I’ll make her life super-miserable this time!”Coraline not only ran a women’s clothing store but was also a fashion designer.When Charlotte walked into her store, Coraline was tailoring clothes for a female customer. Charlotte sat aside quietly and did not disturb her work.After sending the customer away, Coraline flicked her wallet at Charlotte. “I just made 50 dollars this morning. Let’s go, I’ll buy you lunch.”Charlotte shook her cell phone and wallet. “What’s this? I just sold 11 paintings at once, so let me treat you to lunch.”“Ah? Such a great thing actually happened?!” Coraline wrapped her arms around Charlotte’s arm as her eyes lit up.“Tell me, why would anyone buy so many paintings from you all at once? Did you seduce a rich boss of some sort? Don’t you li
“Coraline, don’t get me wrong, but when did I scold her? I’m just stating a fact! Don’t you know that Charlotte is the daughter of Kourtney Kleinman? Kourtney was an old vixen who was extremely promiscuous, so with Kourtney’s blood running in her veins, of course she’s a little vixen who’s... Aaaah—”The rest of her sentence was interrupted by her own screams, as Coraline had already lifted her leg and kicked Miranda in the belly.After Miranda was kicked, she stumbled backward and hit the French mirror in the store hard.Crash! The French mirror fell to the ground and shattered, and Miranda, who had lost her balance, fell onto the glass shards. She only let out a low, painful cry and passed out from the pain.“Ah! Someone was murdered here!” The customers outside the door squealed like a drift of pigs.Everyone swarmed outside the store immediately. “Oh my gosh, hurry up! Call nine-one-one!”“Call the police!”When she saw Miranda lying motionless in a pool of blood, Charlotte’
“I know.” Charlotte smiled weakly. “Luke, tell me, what would Zachary do?”Lucas shook his head. “If someone else had beaten Miranda, that person would definitely have been dead already. But Coraline is your best friend, so the Second Master won’t retaliate against Coraline for your sake. However, Miranda is as important as you are to the Second Master, so it’s impossible for the Second Master to force Miranda not to hold Coraline accountable for your sake. Therefore, if Miranda wants to take Coraline to court, the Second Master will do his best as an elder brother to get her the best lawyer in the city and send Coraline to prison.“Charlotte’s weak body swayed.“Milady!” Lucas hurriedly supported her. “Milady, let me speak for the Second Master. By doing this, the Second Master has actually done what’s best for you. Please don’t go to him and ask him to force Miranda to forgive Coraline. The Second Master would be stuck in a dilemma if you were to do so.”Charlotte raised her head
“The last time that little b*tch beat me, you got my brother to let her go. However, the evidence is in my hands this time around. You know that it won’t work even if you ask my brother to spare her, and I won’t fall for your tricks, so you’ve decided to just shut your bluffing mouth and pretend to be dumb!”Bam! A heavy album was thrown by Charlotte beside her pillow.She was stunned. “What is this?”Charlotte opened her delicate lips. “Why don’t you see for yourself?”Miranda opened this album doubtfully and saw the photos in it, her hands trembling with excitement instantly while her eyes lit up. “Heh. Never would I have thought of this. Charlotte Simmons, you never fail to impress me. You really are just like Kourtney Kleinman. Morality is really nothing but a joke to both of you, and there’s no limit to what you can do...”“Stop all that nonsense!” Charlotte interrupted Miranda coldly. “You let Cora go, and I’ll give you this photo album. Now, just tell me, do we have a deal?
