“Must be nice to be rich. You can afford a luxury car, comfortable interior, more than enough space…”The girl forcefully pulled on the man’s arm, “Let’s go home and continue that dream then. You’ll never be able to afford the tires off that car with your pay.”“Sigh…” The man stared pointedly at the intertwined figures in the car. His eyes filled with envy.“Hmph! You men are all alike. You just can’t stop staring at beautiful women. If you don’t leave now, you can forget about coming home!” The girl pushed the man away and left in a huff.The man reluctantly tore himself away from the scene in the vehicle and ran after the girl. “Mary, I was just enjoying the show. Don’t be angry…”Based on the couple’s conversation, Charlotte knew that someone was getting busy in the car parked in lot number 17. Usually, she wouldn’t miss out on such an entertaining show. However, she wasn’t in a good mood at this point, so she did not peer inside the car at all. Instead, she headed toward he
The corner of Lorraine’s lips curled up as a hint of profundity that did not match her innocence crossed her alluring eyes. “I will tell and apologize to Zachary myself about this in the future. For now, you have to keep it a secret.”Miranda chuckled. “Don’t worry. I know my brother better than you do. I wouldn’t risk my neck to lie to my brother if I had the choice. I just hope that he never learns the truth.”Zachary was the person who doted on her the most in this world.The thing he hated the most was that the people he cared about lied to him. Therefore, Miranda had silently vowed that she would never deceive or tell him any lie no matter what happened.‘Zach, please forgive me this time. That slut Charlotte Simmons doesn’t deserve you. Everything I do is for your own good!’Lorraine went back into the car, and a clear voice erupted from the back. “You’re playing with fire. Once Zachary finds out everything you did behind his back, you’re screwed.”Lorraine gave a dry smile
Charlotte cracked her eyes open, and Garrison’s handsome face rammed into her vision.Garrison was standing in front of the bed. He looked at her fondly and said, “Well, you were driving against traffic on a one-way street yesterday afternoon, and we crashed into each other. My personal doctor was with me at that time, and since your injuries were not serious, he said that there was no need to send you to the hospital. After he tended to your head injury, I carried you back to my home to rest since you were still unconscious.”It was only now Charlotte remembered the scene of her car accident after she heard what Garrison had said.‘Hold on a second!’Charlotte looked around the room in a panic.“You just said I had an accident yesterday afternoon, so how long was I out!?”Garrison lifted his arm to look at his watch and then replied, “To be precise, you have been sleeping on my bed for 15 hours and 6 minutes. It’s 7:02 a.m. in the morning now.”‘Oh my good lord!’Charlotte’s f
Charlotte looked toward Zachary.He was wearing a black suit, and he looked as regal and perfect as always. Even in her current circumstances, she still could not help but stare at him blankly when she saw his handsome face.Then, in the next second, she snorted with disdain.Zachary—he was nothing but a monster draped in a beautiful shell to seduce people.Aloof? Uninterested in women? A man of principle? B*llshit! He was a sc*mb*g who clung to his old lover!“Get out of the car.” Zachary hissed, freezing Charlotte to the core.If it were in the past, Zachary would have owed her to obedience, but this time, she was going to stand up for herself and say no to him.“I’m not getting out of the car. I’m staying in the car. What can you do to me? Threaten to destroy my family like you used to do in the past?”Zachary did not threaten her. Instead, the darkness in his eyes grew even deeper, and his voice grimmer. “I’m not going to repeat myself again. Get out of the car.”Yet, desp
‘D*mn it! What the hell is wrong with you, Zachary Connor!? How can you lose it? She hadn’t said she had slept with another man yet. Just pull yourself together!’“Ahem!” Zachary cleared his throat. By the time he talked again, he had returned to his usual taciturn and cool-headed self, his gaze cold.“Skip the details. You just need to tell me, did you cheat on me or not?”Charlotte was stunned. She wanted to explain for herself, but the word “cheat” in Zachary’s mouth felt like a pinch of salt that sprinkled on the wound in her heart. Those scenes of Zachary and Lorraine “cheating” on her in the car burst forth like a breaching dyke and flooded her head.All of a sudden, her fear left her. There was only sadness, jealousy, and a trace of unfounded rage—as if someone she loved deeply had cheated on her—twinning and twisting like the tentacles of an octopus that sucked the reason from her brain.She raised her head, looking straight into Zachary’s cold eyes that reminded her of th
As Zachary stared at her face that was as red as a tomato, the jealousy in his icy eyes grew even thicker. “Garrison Larson does love you a lot. He’s so gentle to you.”‘What!?’She thought Zachary was going to let her go, but he just raised his eyebrows coldly and meaningfully and leaned toward her.‘Zachary!’Charlotte’s heart palpitated with anxiety and fear, but there was nothing she could do as Zachary had pinned her down.There was nothing but a dark, cold expression on his handsome face. There was only malice and coldness in his eyes.‘I kissed another man, and I went home with him! Yes, Zachary Connor, I’ve cheated on you! You’re the most miserable man in the world! Not only did your ex-girlfriend cheat on you, but even your wife was unfaithful to you as well!’Zachary stared coldly at her face as her words kept echoing in his ears. He felt empty in his heart…After a long while…“Don’t forget to take contraceptive pills.”Zachary’s voice rang out, freezing Charlotte’
A stern look alone from the regal, intimidating Zachary was enough to send anyone into submission. His anger was like rolling thunder, an irresistible force that could move the earth and mountains.So much so that Charlotte wavered from fright and nearly fell over her feet.“There are more than 10 male servants and janitors. If you flaunt yourself and walk over there, they will see you.” Zachary’s cold, magnetic voice shivered sourly…Charlotte had her back against him and curled her lips with disdain. “You don’t care, so why should I?”She picked up her feet and got ready to leave again.Zachary’s gaze darkened. “If you’re so fond of doing that, I’ll take a picture of you right now and send it to your father.”Goosebumps crept all over Charlotte’s skin from fright. She immediately stopped walking.Then, Zachary picked up the jacket on the ground and covered her with it.The warmth from his coat intermingled with his scent. She felt a warmth that she had never felt for a long t
Lorraine stood in front of her car. Her skin was fair, beautiful, and dazzling. “Zach was with me last night, but when I woke up the next morning, he was gone. He—”“Enough!”Charlotte icily cut Lorraine off.“At the end of the day, you’re just implying that you’ve slept with Zachary, aren’t you? I know!”“You’ve misunderstood, sis. I felt so guilty when I lost my head and ended up with Zachary last night. I don’t want to talk about the matter any more. I’m here to speak to you about something else.”Lorraine lifted her chin in a seemingly inadvertent manner as she spoke—this revealed a string of hickeys on her neck, clearly under the sun.Then, Charlotte, who was determined not to show any weakness in front of Lorraine, felt as if someone had viciously strangled her.“Zachary was in such a rush this morning. I found his watch on the bed when I got up and folded the quilt.”Lorraine presented an expensive wristwatch before Charlotte’s very eyes.“I gave him this watch as a pre
