She shook Bryson off once she had said her piece and headed toward her parked car.Bryson entered a daze as he stared at the slight curve at the corners of her lips and the smile in her eyes.He was finally jolted back to his senses when she moved her profile away from view.“Heh…”He laughed. His face was filled with disdain, and his eyes were cold.“The person you promised is Zachary. Just say it. There’s no need to hide!”Charlotte paused in her tracks, looking surprised. “H-How… did you know that?” Her voice contained an obvious tinge of fear.There were plenty of people in the streets, but she was the only person that existed in Bryson’s eyes. “From the moment you saw me, your eyes and tone of voice were filled with disdain, but when you mentioned the person you made that promise to, your eyes, expression, and tone instantly brightened with warmth. Even the tips of your brows smiled. That’s because you were thinking of the man you love—Zachary!”Charlotte blushed furious
It took Charlotte quite a while to find her voice again.“Why is everyone in this social circle so gossipy? Long story short, the things you heard about me and Zachary are not true, alright? I don’t want to talk about it anymore!”After saying that, she turned around and continued to walk. However, before she could take a step forward, Bryson overtook her and grabbed her shoulders with his two big, powerful hands. “Carlie, you can’t go.”Charlotte frowned.“Bryson, you never learn, do you? Zachary has warned you more than once that he’s going to chop off your hands if he ever sees you touching me again. Do you really want to lose your hands so much?”“I don’t care!” Bryson shouted back. His handsome face was contorted, and his beautiful eyes, which seemed to contain an entire starry sky, were filled with nothing but determination. “I’ve thought of getting other people to help me, but none of them could cooperate with me as seamlessly as you in this case. Besides, it’s differen
Charlotte got into the car as well.Before Bryson started the engine, she took the Dragon Blood Ring out and carefully put it back into the safe box.She had no other choice but to put the secret about the Dragon Blood Ring on hold for the time being since she was going to help Bryson.She just hoped that after helping Bryson to get his evidence, she still had the chance to meet up with the appraiser and ask him about the Dragon Blood Ring’s secret before Rufus left Rothesay. At Golden Louvre Palace, Villa No.6… There were six custodians taking turns to patrol in the front gate. The wall around the courtyard was about five meters tall, and a thick layer of electric fence was above the wall. Not even a fly could go near the perimeter. However, it was not a difficult task for Charlotte and Bryson to climb over the wall. This was because they had climbed over a wall like this multiple times in the past. As such, they had accumulated a lot of experience. What was more challengin
The three men looked at each other silently.After a few seconds, all of them broke into a great fit of laughter in unison, causing Tiffany to stamp her feet in frustration. “You guys are so boring. What’s so funny? Mr. Valentine asked me to come here, so I came. Since no one admits to being his client, it’s not my fault. Goodbye!”She turned around and was ready to leave.The balding old man among the three men asked in a gloomy voice, “But Ms. Miller, how do you expect us to give you an answer since you’ve asked the wrong question?”Tiffany’s face went blank. “What are you talking about?” The old man did not say anything.Another tall and lanky man squinted his eyes, scanning her from head to toe with an evil grin dancing on his lips.“You asked which one of us is the client Jebediah asked you to serve. But how are we supposed to answer your question when all three of us are the clients Jebediah asked you to serve?”The tip of Tiffany’s finger trembled.Charlotte, who was s
Charlotte’s eyes were filled with shock.“Aren’t you here to record some evidence on her?”“Yeah. What I want is evidence, not a disgusting, dirty movie.”The longer Bryson looked at the unbearable scene that was happening down there, the more he wanted to rush downstairs and strangle Tiffany to death. God knew how much he had to endure for the past ten minutes while he was recording the scene.However, it was all worth it as these ten minutes were more than enough to ruin Tiffany’s reputation.Tiffany’s licentiousness had exceeded his imagination!At present, all he needed to do was post this video on the Internet, and then Tiffany’s “pristine girl” image would crumble into pieces.That being said, now was not the right time to post the video. The higher she climbed, the more painful her fall would be when he destroyed her! Therefore, he wanted to wait until Jebediah made Tiffany into a famous superstar before sending this video out. “Alright, let’s go,” Charlotte said as she
A bolt of fear shot through Charlotte, and her body began to tremble when she saw the group of men. Then, she turned her head and looked fearfully at the man standing in front of her. He had a flawlessly handsome face, and there was no emotion dominating his face.“Zachary, please don’t get mad and listen to my explanation first! Although I helped Bryson to record Tiffany and other men, I didn’t see anything. My eyes were closed the whole time, and I...”“Hah!” The man scoffed, cutting Charlotte short. “This is ridiculous. You sleep with Zach on the same bed every single night, and yet you still couldn’t recognize him, my dear niece-in-law?”The corner of Charlotte’s lips twitched. In the next second, her eyes were filled with despair.The situation would be better if he was Zachary. After all, Zachary would, at most, ask why she did not keep her promise. All she needed to do was explain the whole thing to him, and she would be fine.However, things were different now. The man
“I’ll say it again, hand it over. Otherwise, I’ll get a few women to come over and still be able to search your body!” Jebediah’s voice sounded as bold as a kick drum.Charlotte knew that she was already a fish on the chopping block, so she would only suffer more if she were to put on a fight. As such, she took out the cell phone in her pocket and handed it to Jebediah unwillingly.Jebediah, who took the phone from Charlotte, did not even look at it and threw it at the man that had just taken Bryson’s phone. “Destroy her phone too.”“Okay, Mr. Valentine. But I still think it’s necessary to search her, just in case she has a second cell phone or other recording equipment.” The man suggested while staring at Charlotte.Jebediah shook his head confidently.“She only has a cell phone. Moreover, she went out this morning just to see a jeweler and check out a ring. She didn’t plan to come here with Bryson in advance, so she wouldn’t bring any filming equipment here.” Jebediah’s voice so
“The premise is that you’ll have to live till that day in order to do so.” Jebediah, who looked as breathtakingly attractive as a deity, had a pair of gloomy, cold, and disdainful eyes.“Ever since you married Zach, Lory and I have done so much to you while you’ve been very passive. Lory’s status in Zach’s heart hasn’t even been affected. Perhaps you can’t even make Zach see the truth before you die as a fool while Lory and I are still alive.”Charlotte felt like her heart was stabbed, but she only showed coldness and arrogance on the surface. “Uncle, don’t be presumptuous. We’ll see who will go to hell first between you and me!”She stepped forward resolutely and walked by Jebediah indifferently after saying so.When she came in front of Bryson, she glanced past the faces of the two men who were holding Bryson down. “Didn’t you destroy the evidence? Why are you still holding him?”“About this...”This feeble woman had a smart and glamorous appearance, but she seemed to have a re
