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
“I’m not afraid to admit that this is definitely a little… disgraceful... But no matter how the process looks, I’ve won, haven’t I?”Zachary was expressionless. “Yes.”Charlotte mustered all the courage she had in her. “So you’ll keep your promise and never use this matter as an excuse to divorce me again in the future, right?”Zachary’s eyes looked as cold as if they were covered with ice. “Yes.”“Then... I’m done here.” Charlotte shrugged.She had done all this just to revoke Zachary’s decision. Since Zachary had promised not to divorce her, nothing else mattered. She would take anything Zachary threw at her in order to get even with her!She thought that Zachary, the legendary and vengeful devil in disguise, would definitely give her a taste of his wrath right about now. ‘Maybe he will give me a harsh kick, or maybe he will strangle me like he did in the hospital the other day...’However, Zachary only took a glance at her with his listless gaze, gave her a strange smile, too
Zachary’s well-defined face was filled with indifference. “Since you know very well that I can’t divorce her now, you should treat that nonsense about me divorcing her and marrying you as if I never said it.”“What?!” Lorraine’s eyes widened, and her originally pretty face was distorted.Zachary did not look at her. He started the car without hesitation and drove past her.As she watched his car drive away in a daze, sorrow and pain scattered hysterically within Lorraine, and she slumped onto the cold ground, tears instantly gushing down her cheeks.In the past, Charlotte would have definitely helped Lorraine up at that moment.However, upon remembering what she had done, Charlotte only took a glance at her without any concern, opened the door, and got ready to get in the car.“Are you leaving already? Just like this?” Lorraine’s haggard voice came from behind her.Charlotte’s hand froze on the door handle. “What’s wrong? Am I obliged to stay behind to comfort your fragile heart
‘It’s bad enough that Charlotte Simmons has turned him into a laughing stock thanks to her affair, but now she even won the bet! This is just a huge slap on his handsome face, yet he actually looks happy! This is bad! Has Charlotte tormented the Second Master into losing his mind?’“Second Master!”Lucas worriedly supported Zachary by his arm. “Humans live a long life. Running into assh*les is inevitable. However, there’s nothing you can do about that. You shouldn’t let your pure, dazzling self be turned upside down just because you’ve run into someone like that. Isn’t that right?”Zachary was as cold and silent as a glacier. “Speak English!”Lucas fiddled with his large earring. “Uh… He he he… I mean… Just be angry when you should be angry. Don’t suffocate yourself.”A peculiar glint flashed across Zachary’s dark, inky eyes.“You may have set your sights on the wrong person, but you shouldn’t blame yourself for it.” Lucas continued consoling him. “That scheming b*tch’s plot was
Lucas’s eyes were filled with sympathy. “What if the results turn out to be just as I’ve described? You’d be disappointed again.”Zachary’s eyes darkened icily. “If that happens, you're going to make Igor Burgov disappear from her world!”Lucas’s heart ached as he watched Zachary walk away. His eyes brimmed with tears.At that moment, Lucas finally realized that Zachary still had feelings for Charlotte…He wasn’t refusing his meals out of his anger for Charlotte, which stemmed from the thought of Charlotte leaving him to be with Igor. Today, Charlotte had refused to divorce him and won a bet against him. That was why he was so happy!‘Poor Second Master! Mrs. Connor’s cheated on him countless times, and he’s still treating her like his first love!’Zachary returned to the living room, looked at a maid, and asked, “Is dinner ready?”The maid was shocked. “Huh? Mr. Connor, it’s only 2.30 p.m. It’s too early for dinner…”She immediately stopped at this point.‘Wait! Mr. Connor ha
