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
People walked back and forth in the corridor outside the ward.Charlotte stood in front of the door of Room 201 and waited for at least ten minutes before knocking her finger on the door again.Knock! Before she took her finger off the door, someone had pulled the door open from the inside, and a tall figure approached her like a moving mountain.“Aaah—” Charlotte first screamed in fright before calming down as quickly as possible. “Jebediah, I have important matters to discuss with Lorraine. Please let me in.”“Something important?” Jebediah sneered. “I think that silly boy Nicholas is just a pawn on this chessboard of yours. Is the life and death of a pawn really that important to you?”Charlotte’s eyebrows twitched.‘Jebediah! It turns out that he knows why I came here to see Lorraine!’Jebediah, who had already walked out of the ward, slammed the door to close it while Charlotte was still in a trance.In the next second, Jebediah’s powerful hands grabbed her by her slende
Every time when she stood in front of him, she would be awash with so much apprehension and nervousness that she would forget how to act like herself. That being said, she would miss him whenever she was separated from him, even for a few hours. She would approach him without any hesitation the moment she saw him, just like the moth that darted into the flame. When she was walking to him, although she felt apprehensive, she would become more and more excited and elated as she got closer to him… This was the first time Charlotte walked up to him reluctantly. She stopped one step away from Zachary. She feared that the longer she waited, the more indecisive she would become. As such, she said, “Zachary, can you promise me that you will divorce me?”The moment she finished speaking, she was startled by Zachary’s cold, deathly gaze. It was to the point she took three steps back.“So this is the answer you’ve come to after discussing with Lory?” Zachary’s seductive voice wafted into
Charlotte’s brain went blank for a moment, and then her heart leaped into a gallop.The perfect and regal Zachary had wrapped his two powerful arms around her, trapping her tightly in his embrace. His pair of seductive lips were planted firmly on hers, and his tongue was inside of her mouth, twirling and swirling around as if it was searching for a treasure.Their breaths, the taste of her tears, all of them had mingled together.Once again, she fell deeper and deeper into his kiss, as if she was falling into a gorgeous dream of beauty.She was so engrossed in it to the point that she still stood frozen stiff on the spot and could not come around to her senses even though Zachary’s lips had already left her.Zachary then turned around and left.A helpless smile turned up the corner of her lips as she watched him walking further and further away.Zachary!She could not understand why he kissed her since he had already agreed to divorce her.Was that a final farewell kiss?“Heh
