Zachary’s eyes were so cold that they could freeze everything in the world.Charlotte, who was being hurdled in his arms, clearly felt the powerful and murderous intent that he released. She was so scared that she did not dare to breathe.“Zachary, as a man, you actually want to confine your wife and take away her freedom. Carlie didn’t do anything to wrong you, she— Argh!” Garrison’s voice was interrupted by his own yell because Zachary’s fist had landed harshly on his left cheek.The power of this punch was so strong that even Garrison, who was as well-built as a male model, could not bear it and collapsed onto the lawn instantly.He struggled, wanting to get up, but when he was halfway there, Zachary thrashed his chest vigorously with a heavy kick, causing him to fall on his back again.Before Garrison, who saw stars swirling around his head like it was the Milky Way, could catch a breath and get on his feet, Zachary had already grabbed him by the hem of his collar, picked him
“Huff...” After taking a sharp breath, Garrison raised his eyebrows and sneered. “I thought you were really going to choke me to death. It’d be great if you were to strangle me to death. That way, you’d regret it for the rest of your life. Carlie would hate you for a lifetime while she remembered me for the rest of her life.”Zachary’s face did not look worried. “I’d be careful not to twist my tongue if I were to be you. You’re just full of bullsh*t.”Garrison was rendered speechless. His expression was slightly embarrassed, however, he quickly pushed Zachary away and stood up arrogantly in the next second.“Carlie didn’t lie to you. We’re innocent, and this is why I came to your house to help her clarify.” While saying so, he took a hard drive out of his car and flung it toward Zachary. “Carlie was asleep in my bed last night. She was afraid that you’d misunderstand her, so she escaped in a panic once she woke up. My home surveillance system recorded the whole process from when I c
“I don’t believe you. Zachary Connor, your empty bluff is useless.” Garrison looked at Zachary’s eyes as if he were staring straight at the arrival of doomsday.Rainbow Bridges—that was the place where Carlie made him a promise six years ago!As long as he waited for her on the Rainbow Bridges every day for 10 years without any interruption, she would be his wife.In order to actualize this agreement, he had insisted on doing so for the past six years and four months.If the Rainbow Bridges were torn down, all his efforts would be in vain, and his ultimate dream of marrying Carlie would go down in flames.Zachary chuckled, and it made Garrison even more panicked.At this time, the cell phone in Garrison’s pocket vibrated. It was a call from Butler Foster, so he picked it up.“Mr. Larson, I have bad news for you. I just passed by the two bridges you’ve been to every day for the past six years and saw that someone was demolishing them.”Garrison was shocked. “Stop them! I don’t c
Charlotte could not maintain her facade anymore. The moment she got into the car and closed the door, the arrogant disguise that she had put on dissipated in an instant, revealing the loss and grief that were camouflaged underneath it.She heard the conversation between Zachary and Lorraine from the rooftop of the building last night.It was obvious that Zachary was still deeply in love with Lorraine. He clearly regarded her as a hindrance between him and Lorraine, but he still chose to be with her because his mother liked her.Sooner or later, he would unveil his true self and drive her out of the house.‘Zachary Connor!’She had been aware that this unattainable man was destined only to be another passerby in her life ever since she had met him. She knew that she was not worthy of him.Therefore, she would always remind herself that she must never fall in love with him after marrying him. She was no match for Zachary, who was too perfect and regal.However, why would she still
Lorraine had begged Zachary to accompany her on her birthday for one last time, and in return, she would completely stay away from him from then onward.Unexpectedly, he had become drunk and even lost consciousness after a few glasses of wine. It had already been the next morning when he had woken up laying on Lorraine’s bed.Lorraine had told him that they had slept together last night. And yes! Lorraine had never lied to him.Therefore, he had no doubts.However, upon thinking that he had slept with another woman besides Charlotte, the thought alone was disgusting enough to make Zachary nauseous.“Actually, if you wish to get Mrs. Connor to stop neglecting you, there’s a simple way out of this situation.” Lucas looked confident.Seeing hope, a beam of light flashed across Zachary’s cold eyes.Lucas patted his chest and said, “Second Master, have you ever heard of the balance theory proposed by a well-known marriage expert? Simply put, a marriage relationship can only be lastin
Lorraine glanced at Jebediah carelessly. Her voice was as quiet as still water.“I don’t care about those kinds of things. Just don’t bring them home.”“Home? I wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t mentioned it today that you actually considered this your home.” Jebediah raised his brows with relish. “Speaking of, why is it that you can bring Zachary over to spend the night in our home, and yet I cannot bring my starlets over for a good time?”Lorraine sneered. “You had a hand in bringing Zachary into our home too. You know nothing happened between us.”“Uh-huh!” Jebediah mocked. “You’re only too anxious for something to happen. Unfortunately, he’s refused to give in to you, even in his unconscious state.”“You…”The most painful wound in her heart had been ripped open. Lorraine’s face was pale. She trembled like a moving sieve. Just as she was about to lose her footing, Jebediah caught her from behind, pressing his thin lips against her ear. “You’ve run into so many walls with
Charlotte bought a morning-after pill from the pharmacy. Swallowing it felt like ingesting a poison pill. She felt deeply uncomfortable.Buzz!She had received a WhatsApp message. Was it from Zachary?“Excuse me, miss. You’re in the way. Could you please step aside?”She heard a male voice from behind. Was it Zachary?She felt a tall figure walking past her. Could it be…‘Zachary! Why can’t I stop thinking about that *ssh*le, no matter where I go?’“Carlie.“Carlie…“Carlie!”She finally realized that someone had been calling her when the tall man stepped in front of her.She quickly stopped and hurriedly concealed the pain in her eyes, then lifted the corners of her lips arrogantly.“Haven’t you heard that it’s not nice to stand in someone’s way?”“Carlie, I am here purely out of goodwill. Stop being so cold to me.” Not only was the handsome, gentle-looking man not angry, but he was actually beaming at her.‘Bryson!’The man who carried himself with an aura of elegance
It was because she thought of Zachary…Zachary had warned her many times—never to initiate a divorce again. Thus, she never had the courage to bring it up again… However, he would surely have her kicked out in order to be with Lorraine. Would he really go after her father too?“Carlie, I’m the only one you can rely on now. However, Tiff is currently plagued with horrible gossip on the Internet because of you…” Bryson’s dark, shining eyes displayed a hint of concern. “If you’re willing to star in a film with Tiffany, I would like you to make a public statement that the three questions you’ve posed to Tiffany during her concert were completely made up.”“Pfft…”Charlotte was shaking with laughter. She nearly fell over as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.“Sympathy? Is this really for my own good? At the end of the day, you’re just trying to clear that snake’s name!”Bryson’s handsome face alternated between green and white shades. “You were clearly trying to defame Ti
