Charlotte bobbed her head and replied, “Don’t worry, dad.”

“How can I not worry about you? You’re my daughter, and I know you the best. Everyone thinks that you’re pretty and intelligent, but none of them knows that’s just a mask you wear to keep your true self hidden. You’re a headstrong girl, and you’re rebellious. You refuse to yield to anyone, and if anyone tries to keep you under control, you will certainly fight back. Anyway, listen to me, Carlie. You have to take it down a notch with your attitude now that you’re somebody’s wife. You must not keep fighting with Zachary, and—”

“Hold up, hold up! Please stop wittering on, dad. I know what I’m doing.” Charlotte interjected, laughing through her tears.

She talked to her father through the video camera for nearly an hour.

She learned from her father that not only had Victor Rutherford dropped the charges against him, but he had also returned Simmons Inc’s management rights to her father. After her father recovered and was dischar

    Zachary said, “You shouldn’t.” He then cast a pithy gaze at Charlotte.He was clearly telling her, “I have some private matters to discuss with Lucas. You can go out already...”Charlotte was not so unworldly that she would not even understand what people meant in an instant. Plus, she had no intention of interfering with Zachary’s private affairs, so she shook her head and exited the living room.Lucas continued after Charlotte walked away. “That incident was clearly plotted very carefully, and his purpose was to get you to sleep with that lady. After an around-the-clock, full-throttle, all-out investigation, I’ve finally found out that the person who drugged you that night was one of your uncle’s men. In other words, the person who devised the whole scheme against you behind the scenes isn’t someone else. It’s most likely your uncle!”Zachary’s eyes dimmed—the word “uncle” felt like someone was rubbing salt on the bleeding wound in his heart.“Sigh… Second Master, all that is in

    ’What?’Charlotte had knocked on the door nine times and had almost broken her finger. She had only opened the door and entered the room because of the lack of response from Zachary, okay?Charlotte, who had walked into the room, saw Zachary staring at the emerald locket in a daze. She did not want to disturb him, so she tried to tiptoe back to the bedroom without making a noise, but she was discovered before she could make a move.Seeing that Zachary was looking rather upset, Charlotte did not want to argue with him, so she smiled. “Okay, my bad. I’ll knock next time. I won’t bother you now, so you can continue to stare at your baby in a trance.”Zachary opened his mouth, but before he had the time to speak, Charlotte had already stridden into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.Zachary furrowed his picture-perfect brows unpleasantly.‘Charlotte Simmons! Is this rebellion?’...Charlotte, who had returned to her bedroom peacefully, heaved a long sigh of relief.If she had

    There was a cool and refreshing scent of mint coming from him. It was faint but so unique that it could not be ignored—it was as addictive as a drug.Charlotte had the illusion that she had fallen into a blooming garden and completely forgot that Zachary was kissing her...The person kissing her was Zachary!After his lips twitched and separated from hers, Charlotte gradually regained her rationality.As soon as she became sober again, confusion, shock, and panic struck her all at once. “Zachary Connor, why did you... kiss me?”Zachary was still hugging her tightly—the warmth coming from his breath and chest as hot as a prairie fire. Every extra second in his arms made her lose the ability to reason bit by bit.“Please don’t leave me...” The man’s thin, warm lips were pressed against the spot between her eyebrows, and he was still whispering through them, “I love you.”Charlotte was shocked instantly, “You... What did you say?”“I love you.” He hugged her tighter in his powerfu

    Charlotte returned to her bedroom, but her heart was still beating vigorously. While she looked in the mirror, her lips were as crimson as if they were bleeding, and her mouth was filled with a faint sweet and metallic blood aftertaste, as if Zachary’s intense kiss was still lingering on her lips...Whenever Zachary approached her, she would always feel panic and awe. She’d even had the illusion that she had returned to the night when that stranger had defiled her ten months ago.This time around, was it because Zachary had mistaken her for his beloved woman? His kiss had been so affectionate that Charlotte had only felt warmth.“Ugh!” Charlotte gave her reflection in the mirror the middle finger to express her contempt and simultaneously murmured to comfort herself. “Charlotte Simmons, you’re doing just fine. There’s nothing wrong with you. No woman should be able to resist that scourge’s charm.”…As Charlotte was lying on the bed and caressing her belly, she thought of the chil

    Charlotte was so frightened that her legs and feet suddenly became nimble. They were moving as if her body was no longer under the control of her brain, and because of that, she walked toward him mechanically.She then felt a weight pulling her shoulders downward all of a sudden. Zachary was pulling her in his arms, and she ran into his body, which was as tough as an iron plate, and felt a faint ache.Before she could recover from this daze, Zachary’s lips had already met hers.Gasp...Their lips were locked tightly once again.The sound of a thunder strike pierced the trance in her mind, and a space in her heart seemed to have been emptied. She wanted to escape in a panic, but Zachary’s powerful hand was holding the back of her head and pushing her face against his.“Mmm!”His mint-like unique coolness and the liquor’s faint fragrance engulfed her like overwhelming waves. Charlotte seemed to have been devoured, and it felt like she was freefalling into a sweet dream. She was de

    Only then did Zachary recall their original plan. “Okay.”His tone sounded casual, but it still gave everyone present the feeling that he had just remembered about the meeting.He took a huge stride on his long, slender legs and walked toward Lucas. “Are you not coming with me?”Lucas stared at Charlotte, who Zachary had cleverly placed in front of the bedroom door. “Second Master, you were having such an intimate moment with Charlotte just minutes ago... Are you really going to leave her like this?”As he spoke, Lucas suddenly felt a chill down his spine, raised his head, and as expected, ran into Zachary’s grim gaze. He was so scared that he almost knelt on the spot and begged Jesus for His blessing.Zachary’s indifferent gaze was something that he had to deal with daily, and one glance had always been enough to frighten him out of his wits. Why would he stare at him with such a terrorizing glare then?‘Wait a minute! The second master wants to leave the scene in a hurry… Is he

    She watched as the bodyguard put down the phone and respectfully stepped aside. “Second Master has given you permission to leave, ma’am.”‘Huh?’The good news had arrived abruptly. Charlotte stayed in her spot in a daze before she could move her legs. As soon as she walked out the door, she turned around, unable to help herself. “Are you saying that I answered correctly?”“I believe the results have nothing to do with your answer, ma’am.” The bodyguard stared at Charlotte with a reverent yet mysterious look in his eyes. “Knowing Second Master, if he was determined to keep you here, any answer would have been wrong. Similarly, if he wished to release you, any answer would have been the right one.”Charlotte stumbled over her feet.So Zachary had intended to release her after all.…El Paradiso was a famous restaurant in Rothesay. It was also Charlotte and Coraline’s favorite hang-out spot.Charlotte headed toward the window seat on the southeast side as soon as she arrived—that

    She placed her hands on her tiny waist, which was the size of an A4 paper, and smirked.“Come on, come and look at the tramp who seduced Mr. Connor, everyone… What a joke. Mr. Connor is the very epitome of grace. He has a severe case of germophobia when it comes to women. Pure, virginal girls have never caught his eye, let alone gotten any form of result. Why would Mr. Connor possibly want someone else’s unwanted second-hand model? She must have disgusted him. Look at how close she is with that woman. Has she switched targets after failing to seduce men? Is she after women now?”A cold sensation rose from within Charlotte’s heart. She raised her hand, ready to give the woman a slap… but a splash of red wine got to her first.“Ah!” The woman’s pretty face drained of color. She glared at Coraline, who was next to Charlotte, in disbelief as she wiped the wine off her face. “How dare you! Do you have any idea who I am?”Coraline lifted her small, palm-sized face with an obstinate look

    As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a

    “Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I

    The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly

    Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio

    “What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no

    Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci

    Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon

    “Don’t forget who I am. There’s nothing that I can’t find out as long as I want to know... Aaaah—“Baby, you‘re hurting me. Don’t be too greedy... Oh, slow down, I’m on the phone. Oh. Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay.

    Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
