The flashy Rolls-Royce drove to the Grand Imperialist Hotel.The two men in police uniform marched Bryson into presidential suite 1205 and forced him into a seat on the couch.Bryson struggled to get up, and Zachary shot him a cold glare.“One more toe out of line, and your mouth will be stuffed with underwear, courtesy of the owner of these socks.”“Mmph!”Bryson groaned in panic. His face drained of color from fright. He shot Zachary a fierce glare but compliantly sat down on the couch and stayed still.Then, Lucas arrived at Zachary’s side. “Sir, everything’s ready. We’ve followed your instructions to the tee. The show will be starting soon. Shall I unveil the curtain?”He gave Zachary a remote control.Zachary didn’t answer. Instead, he tilted his dark, shapely brows toward Charlotte.Lucas instantly understood his implication and turned to Charlotte with a grin. “Hehehe… Milady, such a major, arduous, and glorious event should only be completed by you.”“Ah, yes.”Cha
“I’m in the elevator, Zennie. Oh, how I wish I could be in your arms right now. Wait for me.”Bryson’s finger trembled as soon as he heard the voice from Zenios’s phone.‘Why’d that voice sound like Tiffany’s? Could it really be… Tiffany? No! It’s not possible! My Tiffany is pure, kind, and loyal. She’d never do anything like that!’He watched as Zenios tossed his phone onto the table and sat on the couch.Not too long after, the door opened. A woman wearing a face mask, hat, and large sunglasses, which firmly concealed her face, walked in. “Sorry, Zennie. I met a bit of traffic along the way, so I’m a few minutes late. I’m sorry to make you wait.”Zenios stretched out his arms and leaned back casually on the couch. His voice was as cold and distant as smoke. “We’ve made ourselves very clear in our Facebook messages. My time is precious. Let’s not drag this out any longer. Come here, let’s dive into the main event.”Tiffany gulped as she stared at Zenios, who was regal and handso
There was nothing “pure” or “clean” about Tiffany in this state. She looked more like a wh*re. Bryson was thoroughly shocked.Tiffany made her way to kiss Zenios on the lips.“Hands off!” Zenios pushed her face away.He had previously buried all of his disgust and repulsion deep down in his heart in order to avoid raising Tiffany’s suspicions.Now, he couldn’t take it anymore.A hint of confusion appeared in Tiffany’s eyes.“I thought we agreed, Zennie? Why’d you push me away?”“I…” Zenios understood the big picture, so he tried his best to calm himself and avoid showing Tiffany any form of disgust. “I don’t like kissing.”Tiffany was mildly shocked. Then, she gradually understood. She winked at Zenios and spoke in an exquisitely dainty tone. “Hmph! You’re so bad, Zennie!”“Wait!” Zenios panicked and lost his head. He forcefully grabbed Tiffany’s hand as if hit by an electric current.Zenios’s grip was so tight that Tiffany felt as if he were about to break the bones in her a
Bryson was now free. He immediately tore the gag out of his mouth and rushed out the door, arriving at room 1206 in the blink of an eye.Lucas ran after him and handed him a room card. “This is room 1206’s card. Use this—”Bam!Bryson actually managed to kick the heavy anti-theft security door.Tiffany shuddered from fright when she heard the loud noise. She turned around and saw Bryson walking in, stony-faced. She immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. “Bryce, I… I thought you’d gone to Bay City? What are you doing here?”Bryson simply stared at her icily and marched toward her with heavy footsteps. Bryson had always had a gentle, indulgent look in his eyes whenever he looked at her. Tiffany had never received such an icy glare from him before. Her eyes flashed with panic at first. Then, she pointed at Zenios and sobbed. “Bryce, let me explain… I’m innocent. It’s all Zenios’s fault, he… He forced me!”She rose to her feet in panic and stared at Bryson in g
At this time, accompanied by the sound of rustling footsteps, Charlotte and Zachary walked into the room.Tiffany’s pale face became even more bloodless. “Charlotte Simmons, it turns out that you’ve set me up!”“Oh?” Charlotte raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “Weren’t you saying that Zenios was raping you? Since when did it become a set-up of mine?”“Charlotte Simmons! I know it’s you. You and Zenios have joined forces—”“That’s enough!” A cold voice interrupted Tiffany’s words. Bryson’s distressed voice sounded like he was weeping blood. “You’ve been pretending and acting in front of me. You’ve fooled me into believing that you’re the most innocent and kind woman in the world. I’m only a pawn, which you play and use at will. Carlie has tried to tell me the truth more than once, but I believed in you and actually thought that she’s lying...”Looking at Charlotte, Bryson let out a bitter and regretful chuckle.“Hah, no wonder Carlie has always been telling me that I’m as stupid as
“Okay.” Zenios stood up nimbly in an instant.Upon hearing these voices, Bryson’s gaze was withdrawn from the doorway, and he glanced at Charlotte in agony. “Carlie, I’m so sorry. I didn’t understand until today that you’re the woman that I should cherish throughout my life. You loved me so deeply and treated me so well back then, but I didn’t treasure you in ways that you deserve. And in order to help Tiffany, I even got a stranger to—”“The past has already been written, and the ink has dried!” Charlotte interrupted Bryson indifferently as she raised her exquisite face. “Bryson Harper, you do owe the Simmons and me a whole lot, but I just want to make a clear cut between you and me. I don’t even want any of your apology or compensation.”At that moment, Bryson felt like his heart was bleeding out. “Carlie, I know that you’re only unforgiving on the outside, but you still care about me deep down. You even sounded worried when you reminded me to let go and that I’d have to pay the p
Bryson was lying on the floor as he watched Charlotte walk away in Zachary’s embrace. Soon, scenes of the time he spent with Charlotte started playing in his mind.Charlotte had loved him to the bone in the beginning. She had accompanied him in all his hobbies, drag racing, sports, and traveling around the world throughout the four years. She had decided to marry him and even sacrificed her chastity to give birth to a baby for a stranger for him...And he had been deceived by Tiffany into betraying her, hurting her, and even torturing her!‘No! That’s not all on Tiffany! I’m the one who should take all the blame for my ignorance and blindness.’‘Had I loved her and cherished her the way she loved me, I wouldn’t have given Tiffany the opportunity to sow discord between Carlie and me. If that’s so, the person holding her at this moment would still be me, and we might even be raising a child together. But now, she didn’t even bother to take another glance at me!’‘What have I done!?’
‘Carlie is on the brink of worshipping Second Uncle already!’Zachary felt as warm as the summer deep down, however, all that warmth was reflected as a slight lift in the corners of his perfectly curved lips. “I also want to lend a helping hand when it comes to your revenge. Thus, I’ve always had my men monitoring Bryson and Tiffany. I know every detail of their whereabouts.”‘What!? Zachary! Why are you treating me so well!?’ Charlotte almost could not hold back the urge to rush up to Zachary and give him a kiss.However, how would she have the guts to mess with Zachary, the cold and majestic devil in disguise!?Thus, even though she opened her arms, she did not dare to throw herself at Zachary. Instead, she stuck her tongue out and said with her blushed ears, “Hehe, Zachary, what else can I say? I truly admire, respect, and appreciate you!”Zachary’s Adam’s apple twitched and rolled a little. “Okay.”The flame of hope and expectation that was burning in his gloomy eyes extingui
