“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
Zachary’s chiseled face showed no signs of emotion.“Just enjoy the show.”‘What?’Lucas stared at Zachary in shock.‘What show?’Then, the Bugatti stopped next to Tiffany.The car door opened. Miranda exited the vehicle without an umbrella.Tiffany stared at Miranda as if she were her savior. Her eyes, previously filled with despair, finally shone. “Mimi, you’re here. I’m freezing to death. Help me into the car.”She reached out her hands toward Miranda as she tried her best to stand.Smack!The slap was delivered with great force. Tiffany, who had managed to get up with great difficulty, waved and landed back on the ground with a loud thump.She stared at Miranda in anguish. “Mimi, I’m your best friend. Why are you hitting me?”“You are no best friend of mine.”Miranda, whose face was drenched in rainwater, stared at Tiffany in anguish. “Bryson told me everything you’ve done. You’re amazing, Tiffany Miller. You’ve always seemed so kind and pitiful in front of me. You con
Charlotte winded the car window and smiled. “You’re not the only person that Tiffany’s lied to, so you really don’t have to apologize for our past misunderstandings.”To her surprise, Miranda sniggered.“Pfft! Who’s apologizing? You and Tiffany are exactly alike. No! More accurately speaking, you’re much better at hiding. You’ve hidden even more than she has.”The bright smile on Charlotte’s face instantly became awkward.“I’m just using Tiffany as an example for you. You’re the next Tiffany. Once my brother sees your true colors, just like Bryson has seen through Tiffany, I’ll kick you, just like I’ve kicked Tiffany! Hmph!”Miranda turned around to leave just as she had spoken.Just as Charlotte was closing the window, Miranda turned around again. “By the way, you may not have snubbed my brother for his filth after his affair and clung onto him, disregarding your pride, but what if Lorraine gets pregnant with my brother’s baby? What would you do?”Zachary’s charming eyes were
Charlotte had been feeling a slight soreness during her shower, thanks to Zachary’s good work from the previous night. If she let him in, it would be another night of earth-shattering sex.‘Zachary is extremely virile! I can’t handle him!’Just then, she heard a maid’s voice. “Mr. Connor? I’ve brought the keys to Mrs. Connor’s bedroom, as requested. Would you like to open the door yourself, or shall I help you?”“Give it to me,” Zachary answered calmly.‘Oh, God! Is Zachary going to use the keys to break into the room?’Charlotte trembled.Clack!Charlotte’s knees buckled when the key entered the lock. She nearly slumped onto the ground.“Oh, by the way, sir. Mrs. Connor looked pretty exhausted over the last few days. You were kind of yelling at her when you spoke to her through the door, but she still hasn’t opened the door. I believe she must be asleep and probably dead to the world. That’s the only explanation.”Zachary’s hand paused in the middle of turning the lock when h
Bryson’s delicate brows were locked in deep contemplation.“I already told you everything you wanted to know, so why don’t you get your *ss out of here and start looking for the evidence left by Michael so that you can avenge him?” Charlotte’s frigid voice rang out, pulling Bryson out of his thoughts.He looked at Charlotte, and his heart skipped a beat. Charlotte was looking at him as contemptfully as though she was looking at rubbish.“Alright, I will go. I will go now, but let me make this clear. I mistrusted Tiffany, so I’ve always kept my distance from her and I never had sex with her.”Charlotte bristled. “What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you saying such disgusting things to me?”Bryson looked at her fondly and said, “I had the best love, but I didn’t treasure her. When I lost her, I felt regret. It’s the most painful feeling in the world. Carlie, the reason I’m telling you this is because I want you to know that my body is as clean as it used to be. I’m still your p
“What?!” The delight in Bryson’s eyes turned into despair. “You’ve got to be joking, Carlie. It’s rush hour right now, and there are plenty of people on the street. If I do as you say, everyone will start laughing at me and treating me like a psycho!”“Well, that’s none of my business. All I know is that you asked me for a chance and I already gave it to you. You’re the one who cannot grasp it, so blame yourself. In any case, please stop coming after me.”After saying that, Charlotte opened the door and walked into her art studio.Hah…No matter how foolish Bryson was, he was still someone of consequence in Rothesay. If he really went streaking on the street, not only would he be on the news, but he would also become a laughing stock among his friends. He would never do it. Bryson was right.She was messing with him. “Hold on!” Bryson’s magnetic voice erupted outside the door. “I know you’re a woman of your word, but this is very important to me, so I have to make sure
