The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 312 How About You, Carlie?
Looking at Kourtney out of the corner of her eyes, Lorraine said contemptuously, âFor the past twenty years, sheâs been my mother in name only. Since the first day she gave birth to me, she has already severed all ties with me. Sheâs just never said it out loud. Fine, then. I will make it clear today. I, Lorraine Larson, am cutting ties with my mother, Kourtney Kleinman. From now on, she is no longer my mother and Iâm no longer her daughter.â âAwesome!ââNice job, Ms. Larson!ââThat's what you should do! We support you!ââLet me clap for you, Mrs. Larson.âThen, someone in the crowd clapped his hands. Initially, only a few people joined him, but slowly, more and more people joined in and picked up the tone until the entire restaurant was filled with a hurricane of applause.Kourtney felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. She gripped the glass wine tightly and hurled it onto the table, shattering it in the process.Lorraine Larson!Even though both Lorraine and Charlo
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 313 Public Humiliation
âThis is a matter of principle for me. Itâs not a multiple-choice question with different answers, so I donât have to consider it.âEveryone looked at her with a peculiar look on their faces, but Charlotte remained unperturbed.âNo matter what sheâs done to me, no matter how heartless she has been, itâs her blood inside of me. Sheâs my mother, and thatâs a fact that no one could change, including me. I can hate her, I can look down on her, but I will never cut ties with her.âThe crowd looked at each other, and a weird silence reigned over the restaurant. Lorraine had been chuckling to herself, and it took her a lot of effort to suppress her delight.âCharlotte Simmons, you truly are the most idiotic person Iâve ever met! Kourtney is the woman Annalita hates the most in the world, and you still dare to oppose her and stand up for Kourtney? Youâre so dead, Charlotte. So dead that not even Zachary will be able to save you!âAs expected, Annalita growled scornfully. âHmph! People a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 314 Charlotte, The Scheming B*tch
âI tried my best to help you get even with her just now, and this is what I get in return? Not appreciation, not happiness, but humiliation? I know youâve always disliked me, which is why you never stop making things difficult for me. Youâve always wanted to drive me away. Fine, then. If thatâs what you want, I will leave now.âUpon saying that, she pushed the stroller and left. Annalita sneered, âZach, you see? There's nothing real about this woman. Her innocence, her diffidence, everything is nothing but a pretense. Right now, sheâs finally showing her true colors and she is starting to act like an unreasonable shrew. If you married her, not only would you bring a shrew into our family, but she might also make a cuckold out of you, like her mother did to Carlieâs father!âThere was no expression on Zacharyâs face, but his perfectly shaped lips were slightly curled upward at the tips. He did not say anything, nor did he give a response.Charlotte found herself unable to see thr
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 315 The Scene Beside The Lake
âItâs a relief to know that Lorraine was just talking nonsense. Anyway, Zach, sheâs your aunt. Sheâs sad now, so things will get very messy if anything happens to her. Can you do me a favor and go watch over her?â Zachary nodded in reply. Then, he got up from his chair, spread his long legs, and chased after Lorraine.Annalita had lost her appetite after getting disturbed by Lorraine. Tugging at Mirandaâs arm, she said, âThat b*tch has pissed me off so much that Iâm not feeling well. Come, Mimi. Letâs go for a walk.ââOkay.âMiranda and Annalita got to their feet.Just as Charlotte was about to stand up, Annalita waved her hand at her. âCarlie, youâre now going through a special period. Youâre preparing yourself to conceive a baby and youâre going to need a lot of nutrients, so you have to eat well. Mimi has already paid the bill, so you stay here and eat whatever you want.âAlthough Charlotte had lost her appetite as well, she couldn't bear to turn down Annalitaâs good intentio
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 316 Lorraineâs Suicide Attempt
Zacharyâs thin lips shivered slightly.Those memories had been made back when he had still been in love with Lorraine. The sweeter and prettier they were, the more they hurt when he thought of them, which was why heâd sealed those memories at the bottom of his heart and never recalled them.However, after Lorraine mentioned them, the barrier that Zachary used to seal those memories away was torn, and a gap was formed. All the memories gushed out hysterically and nearly suffocated him.âZachary, I donât want you to leave me. I want to hold you like this forever. I didnât betray you. I had no choice but to leave you back then. Now that Iâve come back to you, you could come back to me too, just like you promised me. We could grow old together and never be separated from each other ever again.â Lorraineâs gentle, pleasant voice and each and every word she said evoked countless memories.They had loved each other back then, but they could not be together because of Annalitaâs strong opp
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 317 You Donât Know Zachary At All
âZachary, are you going to leave me just like that?ââZachary...âLorraine called out to him in her trembling voice, but Zachary, who was determined to leave, did not even look back.Charlotte sighed. âSave some energy. Itâs not that he canât hear you. Itâs just that heâs ignoring you. Itâs useless for you to yell, no matter how loud you are.âLorraine sneered. âAre you mocking me?âCharlotte was dumbfounded.Lorraineâs smile was bitter and wry. âCharlotte, let me remind you that if you werenât his wife now, instead of being so indifferent, he wouldâve reunited with me after learning the truth. Youâre in no place to mock me.âCharlotte was speechless, as she knew very well that Zachary still loved Lorraine.In the beginning, Zachary had broken up with Lorraine because heâd mistakenly thought that she had betrayed him. Now that the truth had come to light, if she hadnât been standing between him and Lorraine, Zachary would have reconciled with Lorraine the moment heâd learned th
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 318 Iâll Get Him Cured
Slap! Kourtney flung a bank card at Charlotteâs body. âTell him that with this card, Iâve cleared my debt. Heâll understand what I mean.âAfter saying these words, Kourtney turned around and left.Charlotte took some time to calm down and find her voice. She then looked up at Kourtneyâs enchanting figure. âWhy did you kill Zacharyâs sister back then?ââThe same reason I wanted to suffocate you with a pillow. Because I hated her. Iâll live a happier life knowing that sheâs dead.âKourtney did not even look back while saying this lightly.Charlotteâs expression froze suddenly, and her delicate face returned to normal.âDo you see that? This is your biological mother! How could you find a reason to love her?!âPicking up the bank card and putting it in her pocket, Charlotte stood up by supporting herself. After taking just a few steps, she saw Lucas running toward her with his conspicuous golden afro.âMilady, you really are calm. The Second Master was so depressed that he was on
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 319 The Punishment For Defying A Warning
Charlotte, who got closer to Zachary, only saw him standing in front of a nameless tombstone. Just like Lucas had described, he looked like a block of ice.Charlotte stood on Zacharyâs right. âLuke told me that you went to the hospital for a paternity test, so I guess what Lorraine said is true?âZachary opened his thin lips. âYes.âAlthough he only answered the question indifferently with one word, Charlotte was content. After all, Lucas had told her that when heâd tried to comfort Zachary, Zachary had not said a word no matter what heâd said.She looked up at his handsome face. âThen I understand why youâre so sad. Donât worry, I wonât stay here and continue to stand between the two of you. Iâm not that shameless. Iâll go and pack my stuff nowâĶ No! I can do that later. If youâre free now, I can go to the city hall with you.âThere was faint confusion in Zacharyâs gloomy, frigid eyes. âWhy do we need to go to the city hall?ââTo get a divorce...â Charlotte tried her best to down

The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1425 Mr. Atson
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotteâs 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.âThis 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. Youâre welcome!âCharlotteâs expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.âI wonât let anyone see this. Donât worry.âCharlotte 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 Masseratiâs door and said in a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1424 Can You Still Drive?
âLoryâĶâ A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.âZachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. Heâs obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?âLorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, âYouâre wrong, Jez. Zachary isnât doing it with her to hurt me. Iâm nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. Heâs doing this because heâs so in love with Carlie that heâs lost control!ââUhâĶâ Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotteâs car, shook her head, and said, âLory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and Iâll take you anywhere you like. Isnât that much better?ââNo!â Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.âItâs all Charlotteâs 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 Charlotteâs lips twitched. âI donât think thatâs a good idea.ââWhy?â 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 supermodelâs.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 silhouetteâĶâD*mn it!âZachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotteâs body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.âBased on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know weâve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,â Charlotte replied calmly
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1422 Iâm 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 didnât want Zachary to do itâĶ But not because she didnât want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebelâs support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasnât worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didnât 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-driverâs seat.Zachary didnât speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1421 Assassin Versus Assassin
âWhat have you done?â Zacharyâs voice was as cold as a frosty wind.âIâve 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!âCharlotteâs entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.âHeheheâĶ Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldnât have said âher two kidsâ. Theyâre yours and Charlotteâs kids, arenât they?âLorraine 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. âHahahahaâĶ Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. Youâve always been fearless, but sheâs the only one whoâs ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isnât she?âZachary 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. âZachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? Iâm pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the childâs well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?ââA wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.â Zacharyâs cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraineâs 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!âBut... wicked woman?âI didnât expect to be labeled as a âwicked womanâ in Zacharyâs heart someday!âAs he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zacharyâs 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. âMilady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that sheâs pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!âTherefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I donât 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 Masterâs house.âCharlotte 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 Ferrariâs door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotteâs car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. âCharlotte Simmon
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1418 Investigation On Jezebelâs Father
âDonât forget who I am. Thereâs nothing that I canât find out as long as I want to know... AaaahââBaby, youâre hurting me. Donât be too greedy... Oh, slow down, Iâm on the phone. Oh. Owââ The manâs voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a womanâs moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. âUm... I can call you later if itâs inconvenient for you to speak now.ââThereâs no need. Itâs convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. Iâll get angry otherwise, understand?ââHmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!ââDonât keep us waiting!âThe sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, âMy little Simmons Princess, Iâve long heard people say that youâre still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but Iâve 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. âSheâs my wife right now, so sheâs your niece-in-law. You shouldnât call her âthat womanâ anymore.âThe corner of the manâs lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. âZach, even if sheâs your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, whoâs 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?ââYes,â Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. âI owe her a wedding, and I donât want them to interfere with my wedding.âThe man opened his mou
