“I’ve heard of your story with Zachary. You forced him to marry you in order to use him to save your family. Your uses for him are now spent. So why not use up his very last bit of usefulness and leave him in exchange for a reunion with your son?”Charlotte’s eyes filled with anguish.The man exited the vehicle and walked away.However, he had only taken one step before Charlotte stopped him. “You won’t need to wait three days. I can give you your answer right now.”The man smirked with satisfaction. “Go ahead. However, I have one condition—your verbal promise to leave Zachary will not be enough for me to give you your son’s location. I need you and Zachary to officially divorce. Then I’ll give you what you want.”“Really?”Charlotte lifted her face arrogantly. Her eyes filled with disdain.“But my answer is no!”The man’s smile shattered like broken glass as if he had been slapped.“You’d better reconsider. Not many know of your son’s whereabouts. Reject my offer, and you m
Charlotte’s car had already driven away from Lorraine’s view at this point.Lorraine turned her gaze toward Jebediah’s face. Her eyes immediately turned cold. “Jebediah, your initial intention in helping me was to replace Zachary as the king of the business world in Rothesay. You need to remember that as long as you help me get him back, I will help you surpass him in the business world in return. Stop questioning the issues between him and me.”The sympathy in Jebediah’s eyes shattered. He icily curled the corners of his lips.‘I must surpass Zachary! I need to prove that I’m much better than him!’Charlotte, whose mind was consumed with thoughts of her child, was in no mood for food. She skipped lunch and drove back to the art studio.Just as she opened the door, a man wearing a cat mask suddenly pounced on her from a car parked outside her art studio.Charlotte paled with fright. She dropped her keys onto the ground. “Argh! Who are you? What are you doing? You!”“Shh!” The
“I’ve made it very clear. My seduction of Tiffany is limited to talking. I’ve already been feeling filthy, tarnished, and disgraced after chatting with her against my will over the past few days. I would never have done it if it wasn’t for you…”A deep crease formed between Zenios’s brows as he recalled the flirty cliches he had used during their conversations, just to ingratiate himself to Tiffany. “Carlie, I’m here to deliver a clear message. My duties in seducing Tiffany end here. The very notion of booking a room and sleeping with her disgusts me. Even if I were to end up acting with her, I could never do it. If you want to catch her in the act, find some other guy!”He put on his mask as soon as he had said his piece and walked away.“Hey, Zenios, wait up! Zenios… Zenios…”Zenios had firmly decided on cutting all ties with Tiffany. Charlotte couldn’t stop him at all, no matter how much she tried—he had long legs and a very tall figure. He walked out the door in the blink of
Charlotte felt a dark cloud overcasting her, and her lips trembled. “But, we’re in broad daylight now...”Charlotte wanted to come up with excuses, but she was already in his arms.The unique and charming scent emitted by his body made Charlotte feel dazed, and her heart was throbbing out of the usual rhythm once again. ‘Damn it!’“Carlie, I saw your car outside. Did you come home?“Carlie, are you home?“Carlie...”When Zenios walked into the living room, he saw the scene of Zachary and Charlotte kissing in front of the French windows. There was a burst of jealousy deep down at first, but he tried his best to hold himself together. “Sorry for the interruption.”He then turned around and was about to leave.Charlotte, who had just regained her consciousness, shouted immediately, “Zenios, don’t leave! Come back!”Having heard her call, Zenios stood at the door like a sculpture.Zachary looked slightly troubled, and the warmth in his ice eyes disappeared silently, and the arms
Zenios’s unruliness had always been bone-deep, not to mention that his obsession for Charlotte was out of this world. Zachary was not surprised that he could not help himself and blabbered those things to Charlotte, and it was only natural for him not to care much.However, Charlotte’s attention had completely shifted onto Zenios ever since he had arrived at the mansion, and she had not taken a glimpse at him again, not even once. Thus, not only did he care very much about her reaction, but he was also extremely irritated, so annoyed that he was on the brink of losing control...“What do you want to tell me?” Charlotte’s voice sounded at that moment.Zenios patted his forehead. “I want to tell you that I’ve thought about it very clearly. The only person who can help you deal with Tiffany now is me. So I’ll cross my bottom line and go further with my scheme. This is nothing when I’m doing it for you.”Charlotte was pleasantly surprised. “So, are you telling me that you’re willing to
Zenios looked disdainful. “Second Uncle, you should know that the legendary retard, Bryson, has been completely bewitched by Tiffany. He’s spent millions as if they grow on trees in order to help Tiffany get into the center stage of showbiz. The last thing that he would do is lie to Tiffany. “Zachary’s thick and perfect eyebrows raised coldly and proudly. “I don’t need him to lie to Tiffany. I just need him to shut his mouth at the appropriate time.”Zenios was overwhelmed by his curiosity, and his charming sapphire eyes were gleaming. He grasped on to Zachary’s arm, his breathtakingly handsome face looking obsequious. “Hahahaha, Second Uncle, you’re so smart. You’re definitely the role model of my life. So it turns out that you have already planned everything, so do tell Carlie and me all about your plan. We can’t wait to know everything already.”Zachary was expressionless. “Do you really want to know?”Although he was talking to Zenios, his gaze was shifted to Charlotte.“My G
‘All of Carlie’s attention was still on me when I first arrived here, and now, all of it has been taken away by Second Uncle! Just how far-seeing and astute is he!?’Zachary approached Charlotte and stared at her with his sparkling eyes. “Then, we’ll go to the airport and catch Bryson.”‘Shouldn’t we be picking up Bryson at the airport? Why would he use the word “catch”?’ Although Charlotte was confused, she did not ask much and responded obediently. “Okay.”She had no idea why she would have so much trust in Zachary. All she knew was that there was no need for her to know more about Zachary’s plan and that she would definitely succeed as long as she followed all the directions given to her.Zachary called Lucas.Lucas came over in a car very soon and said, “Second Master, I’ve brought the person that you asked for here, so get in.”Zachary and Charlotte walked to the front of the car. Zenios leaned forward and grabbed Zachary by his arms. “Second Uncle, are you going to meet Bry
Bryson smiled heartily. His bright eyes looked gentle, beaming with happiness,“I’ll be back the day after tomorrow, so stay put and wait for me.”“Okay, roger that.”“I’m going through the security check and will be boarding the plane soon. My cell phone must be turned off throughout the whole flight. So, Tiff, I shall bid you goodnight in advance.” Bryson was about to hang up after finishing the call.“Bryce, don’t hang up first. I wish to confirm whether you’re really on your way to the plane already. Just to confirm that I won’t be getting any surprise from you just like last time. Didn’t you tell me that you’re going out of town just to come back to see me with a huge bouquet?”Bryson’s lips curled upward. “Tiff, silly you, I also wish to surprise you and stay by your side in Rothesay every day. However, this meeting is so important that there’s no way that I can skip it. I’m really in the airport’s waiting room now. I’ll take a few pictures and show them to you if you still
