Charlotte initially thought she would feel conflicted when entering their former newlywed home after breaking it off with Bryson.However, she felt nothing at all. Instead, she was suddenly reminded of her home with Zachary.“Igor is in this room. You can go in and talk to him. I won’t disturb you—” Bryson pushed the door of the bedroom on the southeast side of the first floor. However, his expression changed as soon as he saw the scene in the bedroom.“You! Who are you? When did you get into my home?”Charlotte saw the scene in the bedroom as well when Bryson opened the door.Igor was tied to the bed. His mouth was firmly gagged with duct tape, and he was not alone in the room—a man in a ski mask was standing by the bed, holding a pitch-black gun in his hand. Igor was staring at the masked man fearfully.The masked man did not speak. He simply glanced grimly at Bryson, lifted his gun, and pointed it at Igor’s head.“Don’t shoot!”“Stop!”Bang!A gunshot echoed. There was a
‘Ms. Larson? It must be Lorraine! Since Igor has died, Zachary shouldn’t know whether Lorraine instigated Igor. Why did Zachary tell Luke to summon Lorraine here?’ Charlotte looked in the direction Lucas was pointing with suspicion and saw a white Lamborghini approaching them. It only took seconds for the car to arrive in front of them.The door opened, and Jebediah helped Lorraine get out of the car.Seeing Charlotte, Lorraine immediately greeted her with a gentle smile. “Carlie, I heard that you miscarried a few days ago due to an accident. I wanted to come by to visit you after learning the news, but I thought that Zachary wouldn’t welcome me here, and I wasn’t feeling too well either, so I didn’t come.”“Bah!” Charlotte made no secret of her loathing for Lorraine. “Actually, I don’t welcome you either. You were right not to come.”“Carlie...” Lorraine bit her lower lip lightly and looked extremely aggrieved and pitiful.Charlotte sneered when she saw her expression. “That won’
‘Isn’t he afraid of scaring Lorraine? Why would he show such horrible things to Lorraine?’“Look at your reaction.” Zachary’s voice was clear and cold, just like the melodious sound of a flute coming from the peak of a snow-capped mountain.The corners of Lorraine’s trembling lips twitched. “What do you mean by... Look at my reaction? What reaction… Do you want to see from me...?”“The people who instructed Igor to frame my wife knew that I was looking for him, so they sent a killer to murder him in advance and shut him up. The killer then committed suicide by shooting himself in the mouth. If you weren’t so shocked when you saw Igor’s body just now, it would show that you already knew about his death a long time ago, which means that you’re the person behind the murder of Igor.” Zachary’s voice sounded indifferent.Lorraine was so shocked as if she had heard abrupt thunder on a sunny day.Her voice sounded like weeping blood in pain as she looked at Zachary. “Zachary, it turns ou
Zachary looked back at Lorraine and glanced at her, but his eyes were cold and distant, as if he was staring at a stranger that had nothing to do with him. “I’m very busy, what do you have to say? Do be concise.”As if she had fallen into an ice abyss, it took some time for Lorraine to calm down before she could find her voice. “I heard that you turned away important jobs in order to accompany Carlie, but you won’t even spare me the time for a few more words?”A touch of peculiarity flashed across Zachary’s gloomy eyes.He had to admit that when he had first married Charlotte, although he had already decided to separate himself from Lorraine, he still loved her deeply. However, the longer he got along with Charlotte, the lighter Lorraine’s position in his heart became.Lorraine—the woman who he once loved so much and could not wait to give her heaven. Her appearance, voice, personality... Everything was still the same as before, without a trace of change.But now, seeing her pitif
Zachary’s eyes were cold as he looked closely at Jebediah’s face, which looked exactly like his. “Uncle, if you were not a family member of mine, I would have broken this hand that you just used to hit me. You have to keep this in mind, do evaluate your own strength before you do something to me in the future. This will prevent you from being embarrassed just like today.”“You...“You...”Jebediah’s eyes widened, but he was unable to say a single word for a while.Zachary exerted more strength.Jebediah staggered backward after being flung by Zachary and fell down to the right of Lorraine.Zachary got in the car without looking back.Lorraine’s tears gushed downward even more vigorously as she looked at his indifferent figure.When Zachary got into the car, the snow in his eyes melted instantly the moment he closed the door, and the trace of guilt that had been hidden deep at the bottom of his eyes beamed clearly through the surface.He disliked owing anyone anything, especial
Charlotte looked out of the car.She saw a red Porsche had stopped not far away, and the enchanting woman, who was wearing heavy makeup, came out of the car and was walking towards her.Charlotte’s mood had a one-eighty swing as soon as she got to see the woman’s glamorous face more clearly.Lucas, who was about to drive away just now, turned off the car engine.She sashayed to the scene, looked at Lorraine, who was squatting on the ground, crying, and was stunned for a split second. Then she came to the window of the car near Zachary.“The apples never fall far from the tree. You’re the same as Jefferson.”Disdain was the emotion that could be derived from Zachary’s God-like face. “Don’t praise him at my expense. He’ll never be worthy enough to appear in comparison with me.”“Oh really?” The woman sneered.“Back then, Jefferson abandoned Annalita, their son, and daughter as if they were pieces of sh*t in order to be with me. Twenty years later, his son was absolutely ruthless
Zachary kicked the car door open.“You’re from Rothesay, so you must be aware that I always give my enemies a fate worse than death.”Kourtney’s curvy figure trembled.She may have had her back against Zachary, but she could feel Zachary’s sharp, murderous glare pressing against her like a wall of ice. It made it very difficult for her to breathe.She quietly took a deep breath and tried her best to put on a courageous front. “Who hasn’t heard of your terrifying reputation, Zachary? But don’t forget, I’m still Charlotte’s mother, your mother-in-law. It isn’t right for you to torture family!”Zachary’s eyes were like knives, sharp and dangerous. “You said it yourself—Carlie isn’t your daughter, and now, you’re turning it around again?”“I…” Kourtney blushed furiously, so much so that even her thick makeup couldn’t cover it.However, she smiled in the next second.“Hehe… Zachary, stop with the cruel words. I know that if anyone else had done this to Charlotte, you would have stra
Zachary’s icy pupils filled with hints of guilt.Yes, he owed Lorraine too much. Thus, apologizing to her wouldn’t be too much to ask at all.He opened his lips. Unexpectedly, he heard Charlotte’s indifferent tone from the car before he could speak. It was as if she had just returned to her senses. “Zachary, you’re not allowed to apologize to Lorraine.”Jebediah was in a daze. Lorraine widened her pretty, limpid eyes and temporarily forgot to cry.Zachary, however, was like an obedient puppy, promptly closing his thin, enticing lips.Charlotte was worried that the regal Zachary would not listen to her, so she explained again, “Didn’t you say that you suspected her because she was suspicious? That it had nothing to do with personal feelings? Just like a detective solving a case, it is his duty to keep all suspects in check. Why should Lorraine feel hurt? What gives her the right to ask for your apology? Isn’t that right?”Zachary opened his kissable lips again. “Yes.”The indif
