Charlotte took a deep breath.“I don’t blame you for seeing me that way. Honestly, I don’t want a divorce, but it’s not because I want your money. I really don’t want to see you suffer. If our divorce can quell your hatred for me, then you are perfectly welcome to abide by the terms of our prenup and dump me.”She felt as if a huge hole had been dug into her heart. An endless stream of sadness and reluctance filled her being, like a monstrous wave gushing out of his empty void, crushing her and suffocating her.She was afraid that she would lose control and burst into tears if she looked at him anymore. She quickly turned around and ran toward the door.“Is that why you’re really here?”Zachary’s voice was slightly husky but still as regal as ever and very enticing.“At the end of the day, you’re just trying to end this marriage to make it more convenient for you to be with that man who looks like Bryson out in the open.”Charlotte paused in her tracks.‘Yes! Zachary has been w
Zachary felt a warm breeze brush past his cold, hard heart at that moment. His icy, crystal pupils glimmered brightly. However, when he saw Charlotte’s tear-stained face and her overly theatrical, trembling features, he felt as if he had been pushed into an ice cave. His usually expressionless, perfect lips twitched.“Get out!”“Why…” Charlotte, whose face was stained with tears and filled with confusion, had no idea how she managed to answer. “Luke said that as long as I loved you, you wouldn’t care if I had an affair and everything would go back to the way it used to be…”“Enough!” Zachary’s Adam’s Apple quivered. His trembling finger pointed at the door. “I don’t ever want to see you again. Get out! Get out!”Crash!He kicked the bar table in front of him, causing it to crash into the French windows, creating a large hold.Surprisingly, Charlotte wasn’t afraid at all. She simply stared at him with large question marks floating around her mind.Lucas leaned against the door,
Zachary’s voice was cold yet indifferent. It was nonchalant, yet it sounded like a clap of thunder in Charlotte’s ears. As she stared at Zachary’s charming face, she gaped and trembled, unable to close her lips.“I do! Zach, you know how much I love you. I haven’t stopped hoping you’d say these words for a single moment!” Lorraine’s lips trembled uncontrollably, overcome with joy.“But… Carlie… I heard her telling you she loves you. Can you really let her go?”It would’ve been better if Lorraine hadn’t mentioned Charlotte’s love confession. Zachary’s face darkened as soon as she did. His eyes turned even colder, and his heart was filled with even more determination than ever. “I will go to the city hall with her at once and get a divorce. You should divorce Uncle Jebediah as soon as possible too. We will have our wedding ceremony in this hall.”Lorraine was now so happy that she was speechless.She had been waiting so long for this day.She had racked her brains and carefully adv
Zachary began to have flashbacks of the past.Every scene of her persistent harassment to coerce him into marrying her flashed before his eyes.It had been half a year since they had gotten married.Why did the 200 days of his time with her seem like a gorgeous, indulgent dream? Why did it all feel like it had ended in the blink of an eye?Zachary’s inky, dark eyes were deeply filled with disappointment.“Your reputation is now beyond repair in Rothesay’s social circle. Is that not enough for you? Are you still looking for further humiliation?”“I don’t care what other people think of me. After experiencing this unforgettable loss of sentiment, I’ve understood how lucky I was to meet someone worth treasuring. If this person wants to give up on me over a stupid misunderstanding and I don’t do my best to get him back, I will regret it for the rest of my life…”Charlotte walked toward Zachary step by step and stared up at him affectionately, slowly raising the corners of her tear-s
Once she said her piece, she walked away in a carefree manner, disappearing on the spiral staircase shrouded in moonlight.‘Zachary’s been so good to me... I can’t give up on him! I can’t let Lorraine get away with this! Yes, it’s true! My abilities pale in comparison to Zachary’s. My chances of defeating Zachary are pretty much zero.’She was the laughing stock of their entire social circle after cheating on Zachary. Now, if she lost to Zachary again, she would become even more of a laughing stock.However, none of this mattered anymore.As long as there was a chance for her to get Zachary back, she would risk everything and do it!This time was similar to Charlotte and Zachary’s previous drag race bet. Both parties would begin from the same starting point. The first person to reach the city hall would win.Charlotte was now sitting in her car.Zachary had just gotten into his car when Lorraine opened the door to the co-driver’s seat and slid in.Zachary glanced at her indiffe
This was why Lorraine had not persuaded Zachary to reject Charlotte’s suggestion to race with him.In the past, Charlotte had repeatedly forced her into a one-eighty and made her suffer the consequences of her schemes in front of Zachary.This time, she had to take a good look at Charlotte while she was suffering in the presence of Zachary! At the same time, this would make Charlotte leave Zachary more convincingly and irrefutably!Soon, Zachary had reached the river.Nothing could be seen on the surface of the river, but there were two rows of stone pillars hidden underneath the surface. The distance between the two rows of stone pillars was similar to the distance between the wheels of his car. Although it was extremely difficult for someone to drive over the two rows of stone pillars, it was easy for Zachary. He’d even succeeded while racing against Zenios with one hand.However, this time, Zachary parked the car by the river and refused to drive over for a long time.“Zachary
As Lorraine was imagining things, she leaned forward violently all of a sudden. She then realized that Zachary had stepped on the brake when she recovered from her stupor.She looked at Zachary in surprise. “Zachary, why are you stopping?”“Are you blind?” Zachary’s regal voice pierced her coldly.She followed Zachary’s gaze and glanced forward, only to see a beige Ferrari slowly approaching them from the opposite direction.Lorraine panicked as she opened the car door hurriedly.The Ferrari stopped at that moment, and a tall man got out of the car languidly.Lorraine was obviously dumbfounded when she saw the man’s handsome face. “Zenios, why are you here?”“Ah! I was enjoying my drive in the tunnel and wondered who was blocking my way when I saw a car coming from the opposite direction. It turned out to be my uncle and grand-aunt.” Zenios looked disappointed and frustrated.Zachary had also gotten out of the car by now.Zenios’s blue eyes lit up immediately. “Second Uncle! M
“Do you know how to drive? This is such a huge car, and it’s stopped right here. How did you still manage to hit right into it?” Zenios glared at Coraline furiously.Coraline looked apologetic. “Sorry, I’m really sorry, this tunnel hasn’t been fully built yet, so I thought there wouldn’t be any car in here and sneaked in to have fun. I didn’t expect that there would be someone here. Zenios, don’t be angry. I’ll pay for the damages.”“Sigh! It’s not a matter of whether you are going to pay for the dent in my car...” Zenios pointed to Lorraine meaningfully. “My grand-aunt said that I’m blocking her way, and something would end badly for my uncle if I don’t back up immediately. I was about to reverse the car when you hit it in the back, and its engine just wouldn’t start now. How could I make way for my grand-aunt? Sigh! Something is definitely going to end badly this time around!”The corners of Lorraine’s lips spasmed violently.Zenios’s eyes looked even sadder. “Grand-aunt, I’m so
