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

’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

Charlotte got into the car.“Now, tell me. How on earth did you manage to drive the car across the river?” Zachary casually asked as he sat in the driver’s seat.Charlotte would have completely forgotten about that if he hadn’t mentioned it. She stared out of the window absent-mindedly. “This river may seem to be filled with water on the surface, but there are two stone pillars hidden in its depths. The surface of the stone pillars is around 20 centimeters beneath the river’s surface. The distance between those stone pillars is similar to the distance between a car’s tires. I used those pillars to drive the car across the river.”“Oh?” Zachary mused.He was the King of Drag Racing, who had driven through every harsh terrain in Rothesay, yet he was not aware of this hidden gem. How could a frail little girl like her possibly be aware of this?A hint of sadness flitted across Charlotte’s eyes, as she knew exactly what Zachary was thinking.“Bryson loved motorcycle racing. I joine
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 35 Name Your Punishment
Charlotte chose a room she liked.She had received the devastating news that her father had fallen into Bryson and Victor’s trap after her delivery. She’d had to drag her frail body everywhere, like a small boat adrift in a violent storm at sea, unable to find peace. Now, she had successfully put her father’s worries to rest, and her mind was finally at ease.Charlotte had not expected that the man who saved a lonely, helpless little boat like her would have been a stranger to her just a few days ago.She fell asleep as soon as her head landed on the pillow.Then, she had a dream—another dream about Bryson.In her dream, she and Bryson were in a strange, large room. The room was dark, and there were no lights. Bryson was walking in front of her and would turn around and smile at her from time to time. “Hold onto my hand, Charlotte. Don’t get lost, or I’ll lose you forever.”Charlotte ran toward him but couldn’t catch up to him at all.‘Bryson… Bryce!’She wanted to call out his

His intimidation was like a breath of ice hurtling against Charlotte.Charlotte was immediately reminded of Zachary’s punishment for Victor. Her face was instantly drained of color. “L-Listen to me… I-I didn’t mean to do it. I-I was sleep-walking… That’s right! I have sleep-walking tendencies. Just ask my dad. I really don’t know what happened. I really was sleeping-walking!”She noticed the corners of Zachary’s lips lift just as she said this.Even a casual curl of his lips could result in a perfect line on this extremely handsome man, who was absolutely stunning.‘Is he smiling?’However, Charlotte soon realized how stupid that notion was. How could Zachary possibly be smiling? The corners of his lips were obviously quivering from rage!“Are you implying that I look like an idiot to you?” Zachary’s icy lips seethed, enunciating every single word, every syllable coated in bone-piercing frost.Charlotte felt as if she had been turned into ice.Zachary released her, removing his

Zachary promptly marched out of the bedroom as he spoke.Charlotte was close to a breakdown, and her eyes were filled with desolate tears.“You say that you’re placing me in confinement. How long will that last?”“That will depend on your behavior,” replied Zachary. “It could be a week, a month, a year… It could even last until the day you die.”Charlotte’s legs gave way, and she slumped onto the ground with a loud thump. Zachary turned around. His expression was cold and sinister.“Remember, you have ten seconds to get out of my room. One second more, and I’ll extend your confinement by another year.”Charlotte was left speechless, and her face twitched. She scrambled to her feet a second later and bolted out of Zachary’s room.She locked her bedroom door, sat on her bed, and indignantly snatched the teddy bear, which was sitting by the head of her bed. Then, she forcefully jabbed the teddy bear’s nose with her finger. “Zachary, you jerk! You’re a huge jerk! You are an unreason
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 38 Let Him Go
By the time Charlotte reached the living room on the first floor, Zachary was sitting on the couch. However, since she was in a rush to see her father, she failed to notice him when she ran past him despite his imposing presence.She slowed down a little, but she was still walking toward the door. “My dad is awake. I have to go to the hospital to see him now.”Zachary replied expressionlessly upon hearing her words, “Have you forgotten that I’ve placed you in confinement?”Charlotte suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, petrified by his words. Her face was ashen, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. She turned her head around and looked at Zachary as if she was staring at a demon.“Look, if you’re talking about the incident that happened last night, regardless of the cause, I admit I was the one who climbed into your bed. I didn’t mean to oppose your decision to place me in confinement because of what I did. However, things are different today. My dad’s awake, and I have to see
The CEO's Addiction To Love Chapter 39 The News Of That Woman
Charlotte bobbed her head and replied, “Don’t worry, dad.”“How can I not worry about you? You’re my daughter, and I know you the best. Everyone thinks that you’re pretty and intelligent, but none of them knows that’s just a mask you wear to keep your true self hidden. You’re a headstrong girl, and you’re rebellious. You refuse to yield to anyone, and if anyone tries to keep you under control, you will certainly fight back. Anyway, listen to me, Carlie. You have to take it down a notch with your attitude now that you’re somebody’s wife. You must not keep fighting with Zachary, and—”“Hold up, hold up! Please stop wittering on, dad. I know what I’m doing.” Charlotte interjected, laughing through her tears.She talked to her father through the video camera for nearly an hour.She learned from her father that not only had Victor Rutherford dropped the charges against him, but he had also returned Simmons Inc’s management rights to her father. After her father recovered and was dischar

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

“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

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
