Lorraine sat in a black Masserati, parked in a parking spot across the road, glaring at the door to “Lottie’s Atelier”. “Jebediah, that man who paid Charlotte a visit at her art studio, was it Mr. Barkley?”Jebediah, who was sitting in the passenger seat with her, nodded calmly.He was well-acquainted with Dickson.Even though he had carefully worn a mask and sunglasses when he walked in and out of “Lottie’s Atelier”, Jebediah could recognize him based on his figure and the way he walked…Furthermore, he recognized Dickson’s car.“See! Jebediah, you said that Zachary would hate her and ignore her, despite being forced to help her due to their relationship as husband and wife after that friend of hers did that cruel thing to me. Look! There’s a slap in the face for you! Hehe… Not only has Zachary not abandoned her, but he has even arranged for Dickson Barkley, a famous director, to cast her in a movie. He wants to make her famous…”A thick, bubbling sense of jealousy filled Lorrai
The corners of Jebediah’s lips twitched violently.Then, his eyes turned cold. Suddenly, he pounced on Lorraine and pushed her down onto the car seat. “What are you do— Ah!”Lorraine’s screams cut her off before she could finish her sentence.“Jebediah, why are you still… At a time like this?” Lorraine returned to her senses with great difficulty and grabbed Jebediah’s wrist with her small hand. “I’ve made it very clear. I’ve given you wealth as you’ve asked. You have no right to do these kinds of things to me again.”“Oh, really?”Jebediah’s eyes turned even colder. His voice became darker. Lorraine’s glare, filled with protest and the disgust in her every word to him, felt like a knife stabbing squarely on the most painful parts of his heart.“I seem to remember a new agreement we’ve recently made—that I’m free to do as I please to you until you return to Zach’s side?”Lorraine was rendered speechless.“Don’t worry, Lory. I guarantee that I’ll give you your wish in 15 day
At that moment, Nicholas, who was lying under the car, felt so nervous that he started gnashing his teeth.He had been tailing Jebediah and Lorraine secretly ever since being released. He had finally discovered the secret between them today!‘I’ve never misunderstood Lorraine! She is definitely a b*tch. She keeps on saying that she’s extremely loyal to Zachary and that she and Jebediah are just in a nominal husband-and-wife relationship. However, she’s having such a filthy relationship with Jebediah secretly...‘I didn’t come all the way here for nothing this time. At least, I got to discover that the innocence between Lorraine and Jebediah is all fake.‘This couple can’t even wait to get it on in a public parking lot. They must do so very often... I have to keep an eye on them and take pictures of them when they’re doing so in less remote places.‘Sister Carlie caused Zachary to lose so much money in order to save me, so I must help her expose Lorraine!...Charlotte had never
‘I’m done! I’ve never made a bad film ever since my debut 16 years ago. My reputation is going to be ruined by this woman who knows nothing about acting!’This was the first time in Charlotte’s life that she could not focus her mind on the paintings while she was in the studio.She had been studying the script all day long.She did not know the specifics of the audition that Dickson would be arranging for her, but Dickson would definitely select a section from this script and ask her to audition with that part.Now that she had decided to venture into this field, she must go all out.She often read and watched entertainment news in the past, and she would step into the entertainment world in person tomorrow... From then on, she would become one of the members of the celebrity circle!Charlotte seemed to have been bewitched by the script. Her mind was still fully occupied by the plays in the script and the wonderful dialogues between those characters when she returned to the Divin
“Why?” The captivating voice pressed against her face.Charlotte’s mind swayed for a split second, and she tried to keep calm. “I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want to become a princess who needs your protection in all aspects of life. I want to build my own career with my own hands so that my life can be meaningful.”In fact, her most radical purpose was to make more money and repay Zachary.‘But I couldn’t tell him this. Zachary is a cold, arrogant, domineering, and responsible man. He must think that it’s alright for him to spend so much money on his wife. He’ll never allow his wife to think that she owes him money, let alone allow his wife to work for others in order to make money and pay him back...’“Heh.” Zachary responded with a scoff. “You’ve cooked up so many excuses. Why don’t you just tell me your true purpose?”“What… What are you talking about...” Charlotte panicked.She stared at his glacial eyes. They looked vast and profound as if they could perceive ever
‘Zachary! His jealousy illness isn’t some trivial matter! And Lorraine is usually the root cause of this illness! He’ll only fall sick when he sees Lorraine...‘He must’ve gone to see Lorraine today. That’s why he’s been acting all strange.’Charlotte’s heart suddenly felt like it got stabbed at that thought. She was no longer afraid but laughed ironically. “Hah! I was moved, what about that? Just say what you want to say. There’s no need to hold back and harm your health in the process!”At that moment, she felt that Zachary’s tall body was trembling.His eyes turned even colder, as if they were hitting her with waves of freezing gusts.However, she was not afraid at all. She raised her face proudly, gave off a smile through the corners of her lips, and gazed at him unflinchingly as if she was already dead. There was even a trace of contempt flashing in her eyes!‘What else can he do? Worst comes to worst, I’ll drive him crazy, and he’ll strangle me to death. Never mind! I want
“Milady, you kicked Second Master. You must be held accountable for your action.“Milady, don’t run away! Second Master promises that he’ll not beat you up...”Lucas’s voice kept coming from behind her.However, Charlotte did not look back. Instead, she ran into her bedroom swiftly, and the moment she slammed the door, waves of hysterical fright hit her like a tsunami. Her legs then weakened, and she sat on the floor.‘Oh my God! Will he retaliate against me?’In the lobby on the first floor...Lucas tried his best to constrain his urge to laugh out loud. “Second Master, it seems that Mrs. Connor won’t be coming back already. Otherwise, on behalf of her, I will help you with the—”He jumped up like a flea halfway through his sentence because of Zachary’s gloomy and murderous gaze. Lucas withdrew himself out of the danger zone, which was beyond Zachary’s reach, and he smilingly changed the subject.“Hehehe, I know you’re still angry about Mrs. Connor and Zenios. Isn’t the soluti
Half an hour had passed, and Charlotte was still sitting on the carpet in front of the door, staring into space.She had been seized by a fit of impulse and kicked Zachary so badly. The more she thought of it, the more frightened she was.Knock! Knock! Knock!Someone knocked on the door.Charlotte immediately tensed. “Uh… I know I’ve made a mistake. I’ll never do that to you again. Please don’t come looking for me!”“Madam, what are you talking about?” She heard the maid’s voice from outside.Charlotte wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. “Oh, it’s you, Mrs. Plain. Do you need anything?”“Why else would I be calling you at this hour? Madam, we have dinner at this time, every day. What’s gotten into you today, Madam? Why are you in such a blur?”“Oh…” Charlotte massaged her pounding chest. “I’m not hungry. Tell Zachary that he can eat on his own. Thanks.”“Alright! Sigh! Humans can’t operate on an empty stomach. You youngsters always see your meals as unimportant. Seriously…
