Charlotte sneered. “I understand that the one who controls and uses you is Lorraine Larson!”“Sorry, Charlotte. How did you manage to figure out this whole plot is none of my business? The thing is that I can’t say anything,” the man said in terror while glancing at Lorraine and Jebediah, who were walking in the distance in front of their car.“I must leave now. Please stop harassing me.” He walked past Charlotte as if he was fleeing from the scene.Charlotte looked at the man’s figure hatefully. “You may get to escape from all this for a while, but you can’t hide from it for the rest of your life. Don’t you forget, not only did you tarnish my chastity, but you also deceived Zachary. He’ll definitely make sure that you suffer hell when the truth is revealed.”Thinking of how cruel and ruthless the devil of Rothesay could be when he was dealing with his enemies, the man felt a sharp coldness shot straight down his spine.Nonetheless, Lorraine and Jebediah were checking on his actio
Lorraine carefully caressed his flat belly in his hands. “He’s the biological child of Zachary and I. I’ll do my best to protect him.”The irony in Jebediah’s eyes intensified. “Then, you’d better never let Zach know that you got pregnant using his frozen sperm.”“Yeah.” Lorraine not only did not feel a trace of shame but smiled as brilliant as the midday sun in a cloudless sky.She had never aroused Zachary. Therefore, she had to go to the hospital for an in-vitro fertilization a year ago in order to conceive a child with Zachary.Unfortunately, she had not gotten pregnant after countless procedures, so she could only borrow Charlotte’s uterus through twists and turns as a last resort...And more than two months ago, she had tried to use the remaining frozen sperm that Zachary had left at the sperm bank last year, and she succeeded in only one go!‘My love for Zachary must have moved God Himself that He started to favor me!‘Nowadays, Charlotte has affected Zachary’s thinking t
Tiffany, who was cold and hungry, was dizzy all this time. Thus, she did not react and rammed into the man’s chest.“You... Go away...” Tiffany said weakly as she stretched out her hand to push the man.The man grabbed her hand and took her into his arms.“It feels uncomfortable not to have any money to spend, doesn’t it? I have plenty here!” The man took out his wallet and waved it in the air. The thick stack of hundred-dollar bills in it was particularly conspicuous. “How about accompanying me in bed? I’ll give you all the money in my wallet.”Tiffany’s first reaction was to refuse decisively. Although she often slept with men behind Bryson’s back when they were still together, those men were her cups of tea. Each of them was a handsome guy with a well-built body.But, looking at the pile of money in the man’s wallet, the money was enough to feed her, buy her new and warm clothes, and get her a decent place to live in, so she wavered. “Give me the money first!”“Here you go!” T
“This video is not the only thing that I have on you. There is also shameful history that I covered for you before this. What Bryson did to you has caused you to end up in the streets. I’ll ruin you if you dare to go against my will.”Tiffany’s eyes were blank, and her body trembled.Jebediah’s voice became even colder. “Are you coming or not?!”Tiffany did not dare to hesitate anymore. She opened the car door and got into the car immediately.Lorraine, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, shook her head disdainfully.‘Look at her! Ever since Bryson realized her true colors, just how miserable has her life become thanks to him? But Bryson is nowhere near what Zachary is capable of. Zachary is way crueler and more determined than Bryson. It’s just that Zachary hasn’t recovered from the trance to want to get back at Charlotte. As soon as Zachary starts to retaliate against Charlotte, he’ll definitely make Charlotte’s fate 100 times more miserable than Tiffany’s.’...Charlo
“So, Carlie, the only one who can save you right now is me.” Zenios’s breathtakingly handsome face gave off clear joy.A glimmer of hope finally beamed within Charlotte’s heart that was filled with despair. “Yeah, you’re Zachary’s nephew, and he loves you the most. He’ll definitely let me go if you were to intercede for me.”“No! No! In this case, it’s useless for anyone to intercede with Second Uncle.” Zenios’s head shook like a rattle.The hope that Charlotte finally saw was shattered.In the next second, she heard Zenios explain, “But if you were to marry me, you’ll become Second Uncle’s niece-in-law, a family member. No matter how much Second Uncle hates you, he won’t lay a finger on his own family member. That means Uncle Simmons will be safe too.”‘This...’ Charlotte was a little confused.She could feel that Zenios’s hands were clearly trembling.“I’ve investigated the man who had an extramarital affair with you. His name is Igor Burgov. Today, after Second Uncle found ou
“Hey, there’s no point going anyway! Zenios, don’t go! Zenios…” Charlotte cried.Zenios, however, had already bolted out the door. His tall figure disappeared from view in the hallway in the blink of an eye.Coraline shook her head.Zenios may seem unruly on the outside, but he’s a highly devoted lover. Coraline had been aware of Zenios’s feelings for Charlotte three years ago, but she had kept his secret.‘Sigh! Poor Zenios! Carlie was infatuated with Bryson when he fell in love with her, yet he continued his devotion for her without regret. He quietly played the part of a younger brother and kept her company in good times and bad, listening to how much she loved Bryson… And when he was alone, he would quietly lick his wounds. Finally, after holding on and waiting for Carlie to break up with Bryson, she became his aunt before he could confess his feelings!’Charlotte remained unsettled after Zenios left.More than half an hour later, Zenios called.“I’m sorry, Carlie. I’m such
At Platinum Coast, a villa by the sea...This was Charlotte and Bryson’s honeymoon room, also known as the venue for Charlotte and Zachary’s one-night stand, where Zachary’s baby was conceived.A security guard hurriedly stepped forward when he saw Charlotte emerge from a taxi.“Miss Simmons, Mr. Harper has been waiting for you. Please come in.”Charlotte stared at the metal door as the security guard opened it.A few months ago, when she had ended her relationship with Bryson, utterly disillusioned, she had silently sworn that she would never set foot in this place again.However, now, she took a deep breath and walked in!Underground Garage 23 was her meeting spot with Bryson.The garage door was half-closed. She pushed it open and saw Bryson’s handsome, straight figure at once.“You’re here, Carlie!”The gentle and charming Bryson’s clear gaze was a mixture of joy and warmth.“Once I heard that you’d cheated on Zachary, I knew that something wasn’t right. This is your so-
“AARRGGHHH!”The skin-tearing agony made Igor scream in pain. The area around his lips bled.Charlotte felt apprehensive at his pathetic sight. However, her heart turned cold when she remembered everything he had done.“I knew we’d meet again, but I didn’t think that we’d see each other so soon.” Igor lifted his face and looked at her. “Miss Simmons, I’ve told you, I’m nothing more than someone else’s chess piece. I can’t help you.”“Oh, really?” Charlotte smirked.“During your conspiracy with Lorraine, why didn’t you tell Zachary that you’re ‘nothing more than someone else’s chess piece’ when you trampled all over my innocence in front of him? My reputation is beyond repair, thanks to you. You really are a chess piece. You can’t help me at all.”The man found himself unable to reply.Charlotte lowered her gaze and observed the man. Even though this was only her third meeting with the man, he was still a stranger to her.This man may resemble Bryson in some ways, but his looks
