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
‘Ah!’Charlotte, who thought that she had accidentally touched Zachary’s nerve, was instantly awash with joy. Not only did Zachary not scold her, but he praised her instead. The dark cloud that Kourtney had left on her instantly disappeared.Zachary’s expression showed no change when he saw the joy on her face, but his icy pupils were as warm as a spring day.“Sigh…” Lucas stroked his bird’s nest-shaped hair.‘Mrs. Connor is really unaware of Second Master’s intentions. She actually thought that he would be angry just because she had given her an order. Didn’t she notice how obedient he was? He nearly went on all fours and would’ve wagged his tail if he had one. He’s overjoyed! Second Master may be a high and mighty king on the outside, but when it comes to his wife… Hehe…’Lorraine wept the entire way.Jebediah had helped her back home, yet the intimate scene of Zachary revolving his world around Charlotte continued to play in her head. Charlotte’s orders were like a curse, echo
However, once he remembered that her current deeds carried an ulterior motive, Jebediah’s excitement turned cold.“Lory, you’ve been keeping yourself for Zach, and now you’re willing to give yourself to me? Why won’t you just give in and be my wife? I’ll treat you right.”Lorraine returned a cold smirk. “Remember, Jebediah, it’s always been a business transaction between us. This is no different.”Jebediah’s throat quivered. He may change women as often as he changed his clothes, but he had only been fooling around with them.Those celebrities and models pursued him relentlessly for his money and resources, there was no doubt about that. At the end of the day, it was nothing more than a business transaction for them. Lorraine was the only one he cared about.He never imagined that the woman he cared about would use this as a business transaction with him too!“I only have one question. If I use this as an exchange for your help in getting Zachary back, will you do it?” Lorraine d
She was just about to turn around and make a run for it when an arm wrapped itself around her neck and covered her nostrils with a wet cloth drenched in chemicals.She smelled the strong chemicals and immediately lost consciousness.Thud!Charlotte was startled awake as soon as she landed on the ground.Despite her dizziness, she could vaguely make out that she was currently in front of a cliff, surrounded by tall mountains…The black car was parked on her right. Two men in large sunglasses stood on her left and right.“Why are you so clumsy?” The taller man complained, “I told you to get her down from the car carefully. And you threw her onto the ground. Look, now you’ve woken her. What’ll we do if she sees our faces?”“We’re wearing sunglasses, aren’t we?” replied the shorter man. “How could she have possibly seen our faces? Besides, even if she did, what could she do? She’s going to die soon. What, is she gonna come back as a ghost and haunt us?”Charlotte’s mind was buzzing
The branches cut through her tender skin like razors, and the pain was unbearable.Charlotte’s body first fell on the tree trunk. Then, she bounced into the air before slamming onto the ground in a meaty smack. She felt her organs were torn apart, and before the yelp of pain could escape her mouth, she passed out. The taller man looked down the cliff.“Four, do you think we should go down and check? It would be a big problem if she survived the fall.”The shorter man took his sunglasses off his face and said disdainfully, “This cliff is bottomless, not to mention that it’s layered with poisonous thorns down there. Even if the woman survives the fall, she will be poisoned to death by the poisonous thorns. Let’s not waste our time. She’s Mr. Connor’s wife, and he will certainly get to the bottom of it. We should go and get the remaining half of the money from our customer so that we can run away as soon as possible.”The two men got into their car and sped away.At the same time,
When Zachary saw the bloodied person on the ground was none other than Charlotte, he felt as if his heart was clutched by an invisible hand. He was someone who rarely showed his emotions, but right now, there were cracks on his perfect face.He scooped Charlotte, who was 90 pounds, into his arms effortlessly and dashed back to the car.Lucas had gotten out of the car as well. He was standing outside the car, and when he saw Charlotte, who was thoroughly drenched in her own blood, his eyes were instantly filled with tears. His Adam’s Apple bobbed up and down violently in his throat.“Second Master, what happened to Mrs. Connor? Why isn’t she moving at all? Is she still breathing? Is she… dead?”“Shut your d*mn mouth!” Zachary interrupted Lucas forcefully.“Stop cursing her!”Lucas let out a sigh. “That means Mrs. Connor is still alive!”Holding her petite body tightly and feeling her faint breathing as if it would stop at any moment, Zachary, who was as tough as steel, was trembl
In the hospital... Zachary was standing outside the operating room. He stared fixedly at the door, and every muscle in his body was pulled taut.When Dr. Robinson appeared from the operating room, he was so startled by Zachary’s death-like gaze that his hands trembled, and he fell back.In the next second, Zachary grabbed him by his collar and hissed out his question.“How is my wife?”“She… She…”Dr. Robinson was so frightened he couldn’t answer him at first. It was only after he took a deep breath to calm himself down that he began talking. “Mr. Connor, although you’ve sucked the poison out in time so that she wouldn’t die of poisoning, she lost too much blood during the operation and needs a blood transfusion right now. However…”Zachary’s eyes gleamed. “Speak!”Dr. Robinson nearly peed himself. However, he dared not to keep the truth from Zachary, so he said with a long face, “But her blood type is AB Rh-negative, and we don’t have it in stock in the hospital. Our director
Every doctor in the operating room knew that Zachary had long exceeded the limit of blood transfusion. If he kept the transfusion going, he would go into shock in another minute, and if he could not replenish his blood in time, his organs would start to fail, and he would die…All of them found it hard to believe that this cold-blooded demon, who the people of Rothesay feared, was willing to die for his wife!“Zach, you should stop the transfusion now. I will take it from here.”An oriole-like voice rang out, and an elegant figure entered everyone’s vision.The woman had a face very similar to Charlotte’s, and all of the doctors were stunned.However, Zachary did not even spare her a single glance. He continued to set his eyes fixed on Charlotte and said, “You can’t replace me.”“Have you forgotten that sis and I are sisters born from the same mother? Like her, my blood type is AB negative as well,” Lorraine said faintly.The people Jebediah had sent to spy on Zachary had been f
