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 Zenios stood up nimbly in an instant.Upon hearing these voices, Bryson’s gaze was withdrawn from the doorway, and he glanced at Charlotte in agony.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
“For real?” Zenios chuckled. “So, will you be willing to seduce a man in order to help me?”“About this...” Charlotte, who was embarrassed, gave off a stiff smile.“Zenios, I’m different from you when it comes to this. I’m a married woman now. How could I seduce other men? While you, you don’t even have a girlfriend, so of course you can do everything more casually. So stop making it hard for me already.”Zenios gave off an unhappy expression and complained, “Hmph, you’re just throwing excuses at me, you don’t even take me seriously—”“Ahem! Ahem!” Two deliberate and exaggerated throat clearing interrupted Zenios.Lucas’s golden head popped out of the car’s window. “Milady, Second Master, and I are waiting for you in the car. How could you bring yourself to waste Second Master’s precious time and listen to Zenios’s grievances out here?”Charlotte looked back at Zachary, who was sitting in the car, and the corners of her lips were lifted forcibly. “Haha, I’m terribly sorry. I’ll g
“This is my villa. My name is on the deed. I own this house. You have no right to stop me from going in!”“We don’t care who owns this house. All we know is Mr. Miller hired us to guard the gate, and he writes our paychecks, so we only listen to his orders. If Mr. Harper says you can’t go in, you can’t go in.”Tiffany’s eyes widened and brimmed with tears, unable to speak.This villa had been a present from Bryson when she had returned to Rothesay from Burasia. Bryson trusted her, so he had written her name on the deed. Now, he wouldn’t even let her through the door.The guards stared at her, their eyes filled with disdain and scorn.‘Tiffany Miller! “Pure and flawless”? “A bright, unblemished light”? It’s bad enough that she’s lied to Mr. Harper. She’s always acting like some sort of angelic saint in front of him, but once he was gone, she’d immediately flaunt her arrogance and treat us with contempt… She’s even been staying out late and doesn’t come home whenever Mr. Harper leav
Charlotte raised her brows arrogantly.Tiffany was filled with even more hatred when she saw the complacent and pleased look on her face. “You were so eager for my downfall that you’ve succeeded, thanks to your wicked scheme. We’re even now! Why are you still hounding me?”Charlotte curled her lips. “I’m here to take a good look at your degenerate self. Just to make myself happy.”“You…” Tiffany felt a great urge to lunge at Charlotte and strangle her to death. Unfortunately, her body had lost its strength. She tried to get up, then landed heavily on the mud.All she could do was grit her teeth and glare at Charlotte viciously. “Charlotte, you’re the most vicious, manipulative b*tch I’ve ever met. It’s no wonder Zachary’s completely under your spell. You’re not just a tramp. You’re a snake. I hope karma bites you in the *ss. I hope that Zachary sees you the way Bryson now sees me. Zachary will be even crueler than Bryson, and when that happens, you will suffer a fate a million time
