“Sigh!” Lucas’s face was filled with concern. His clear, flawless complexion showed signs of sadness.“Based on my personal understanding, all women place a great deal of importance on their faces, especially exceptional beauties like you and Miss Larson. You would prize your looks more than your own lives, but that university mate of yours has actually destroyed Miss Larson’s face!”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “Where’s Zachary? Is he very angry?”Lucas’s eyes filled with helplessness.“Is that even a question? Wouldn’t you be angry if someone had sliced someone you cared about to this state?”Charlotte looked absent-minded. She was at a temporary loss for words.It’s true! She knew that Zachary would be angry.If anyone else had done this to someone she cared about, she would take a knife and seek revenge.This time, not even Zachary would spare Nicholas, let alone Lorraine herself…“If anyone else had hurt Miss Larson, knowing Second Master, he would have d
“I found out that your plan to take a video of Tiffany with Bryson wasn’t your real objective. Your real objective was to hurt Lory.”Charlotte frowned. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”“Really?”The man, who was as handsome as a Greek god, curled his lips in an evil, disdainful manner.“You’re a calculative woman. How could you not understand what I’m talking about?”Charlotte’s gaze was filled with confusion.Jebediah’s icy gaze darkened terrifyingly. “This morning, Lory and I agreed to go shopping. I rushed to Golden Louvre Palace to catch you once we found out that you and Bryson had gone there to take videos of Tiffany. Lory stayed in the shopping mall when I left. She was all alone, without me to protect her. That gave that little b*stard, Nicholas, the chance to hurt her!”‘What… How could it be that much of a coincidence?’Charlotte’s eyes filled with even more shock.“Charlotte Simmons, it’s come to this now, and you’re still putting on a show?”Jebediah’s
Zachary, perfect like a Greek god, replied indifferently, “Four minutes ago.”‘Oh my God! Four minutes ago was the start of my conversation with Jebediah! Has Zachary heard everything?’“You’re back, Zach…”A light shone in Jebediah’s bloodshot eyes when he glanced at Zachary while crouching down.“You must’ve heard every word she said. This was all part of her plan. She said that she instigated Nicholas to hurt Lory.”Charlotte heard a buzzing noise in her ear.Zachary’s icy exterior showed no signs of emotion. His voice was just as cold and indifferent as ever. “Yes.”A bad feeling slowly crept up on Charlotte’s body, like a cold current.She had said those words not too long ago just to irritate Jebediah and make him and Lorraine release Nicholas. She never thought that Zachary had been listening to every word on the side at the time.Not even Zachary would let her get away with this this time! She was doomed!“Well, if that’s the case, what more do I have to say?” Jeb
Then, was Jebediah’s explanation funnier than Lucas’s jokes to him?But…What was so funny about whatever Jebediah had said?“Sorry, I know that I shouldn’t be laughing under these circumstances, but you’re so good at telling jokes, Uncle Jebediah. Have you lost a screw, Uncle Jebediah? Is that why you think that I’d seek revenge on my own wife over an outsider?”Zachary reverted to his calm exterior and spoke in a cold, chilling tone.Charlotte, however, felt that his voice was even more majestic than rolling thunder.‘Zachary! Is he really not going to do anything to me, even if I actually manipulated Nicholas into hurting Lorraine?’“Zach… What’s with you?”Jebediah’s voice shook. He was too shocked.Out of all the people he had met, Zachary was the most devoted man and had the most principles!He was endlessly indulgent to the people he cared about but would set the strictest rules upon them too. He never let them commit crimes…This was the exact reason Miranda had neve
“Hehehe, Charlotte Simmons, you truly are a scheming b*tch...” Jebediah stared sternly at Charlotte’s eyes. “Remember, I won’t let Lory be wronged for nothing this time around. I may not be able to deal with you as the person behind the scheme, but I’ll make sure that the b*stard who was instigated by you pay for it with his blood!”The suspense in Charlotte’s heart had reached its peak. “What are you going to do to Nicky?”Jebediah felt like his heart had been cut wide open. His eyes were gloomy as if he was the devil who came to Earth, wanting to reap someone’s life back to hell.“I’ll send him to prison. And don’t think that he’ll be having a peaceful life while he’s in prison. I’ll arrange for someone to cut his face inhumanely in prison, just like how he disfigured Lory!”Charlotte could only feel a cold gust hitting her. Her whole body was completely frozen for an instant.When she returned to her senses, Jebediah had already left. Zachary had taken over the spot where Jebed
As Tito was speaking, he suddenly felt an extremely strong and chilly aura approaching him like an ice wall. He could not help but look at the source of the aura. He met Zachary’s ferocious glare in the next second and could not help but tremble!Then, he hurriedly retracted his hand that was reaching out for Charlotte’s as if he had just gotten struck by lightning.“Mr. Ortiz, what’s the matter with you?” Charlotte looked dumbfounded. Her right hand, which was about to complete the handshake with Tito, froze in front of Tito’s chest. It was inappropriate for her to continue to stretch forward, but it was not polite for her to retract it...“Um...” Tito looked at Zachary’s extremely attractive but yet terrifying face without a trace. “I just remembered that I had a skin disease, and I haven’t fully recovered from it. So, in order to prevent it from spreading to you, we shouldn’t be shaking hands.”Charlotte shivered with fright and retracted her hand immediately.At that moment, Z
At the Intensive Care Unit, Room 201...Two nurses stood on both sides of the hospital bed and kept staring at Lorraine, who was lying on the bed.The doctor had specifically ordered that they must take good care of the patient.The first thing the wounded had done after waking up from the sedative of the operation was clamoring to take a look at herself in the mirror. However, when the nurse had given her a mirror, she had actually lost her mind and wanted to tear off the gauze wrapped around her face, saying that she must know how her face looked now...Fortunately, the nurses had held her down in time.Look at the right side of her face, which was not covered by gauze. The skin was extremely delicate, and its complexion was as fair as snow. It looked like a work of art that was carved by God Himself. It could be imagined that she was once an incomparable belle if her left face was as perfect as her right face.However...If she were to see how her left face looked now, just h
“You can’t even tell a lie. Even if the injured skin could recover, it would be a miracle for it to look the same as before the injury was inflicted. How can it be more beautiful than before?” Lorraine’s tears rolled downward even more vigorously.“Carlie’s scheme is so vicious! She asked somebody else to destroy my face. This is more inhuman than asking the person to end me directly. Before this, Zachary wouldn’t even take a glance at me when my face was fine. He’ll only give me his disdainful looks after this incident, and he won’t change his mind and come back to me anymore! Boohoo... Jebediah, this time, it’s over for me! I’ll never be able to get back with Zachary ever again! Boohoo… Boohoohoo......”The woman’s painful sobs reverberated in the ward while Jebediah wanted to tell her that he would not despise her even if her face were to become ugly.He wanted to tell her that as long as she could be his wife, he would hold her in his arms and treasure her for the rest of his li
