“Alright then, we’ll start now. Mindy, give Mrs. Connor her costume.”Dickson stepped aside once he had said this. Before Charlotte could make sense of the situation, a woman in a blue suit, who had been standing on Dickson’s right, tossed Charlotte a pile of clothes at her feet and icily said, “Mr. Barkley’s time is precious. This is not your house where you’d have a group of people pandering to your every need, you sickly little princess.”‘What? Who’s a sickly little princess? Who wants anyone to pander to her every need? Why do I get the feeling that everyone’s being very cold to me?’Charlotte put on her costume.The clothes were a little old, slightly too big on her, and even had a weird stench, as if they had just been fished out from the trash. However, Charlotte didn’t care about these minor details. She arrived in front of Dickson, dressed in a medieval costume.“I’m ready, Mr. Barkley. We can start now.”“Mm.”Dickson seemed cold and different on the surface, but de
The ice-cold river water soaked Charlotte’s chest. She nearly collapsed from the cold during the first few minutes.However, she took a deep breath and forced her legs to walk toward the bleeding man who lay beneath his horse on the other side of the river.According to the script, Vincent Darkholme had fought alone against an army of men on horseback from across the river in order to protect her. In the end, he was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. Seeing this, Violet Lane ignored the fact that she was pregnant and crossed the river to save him.Today, a temporary actor was playing Vincent’s part.However, this was not important.Charlotte had imagined Vincent as Zachary.She remembered how Tiffany’s poisoned arrow had hit Zachary, nearly losing his life a few months ago just to save her.Time seemed to turn back to that very moment. She felt as if the man who was lying on the ground, bleeding, really was Zachary. She tried her best to cross the river and run to his side
Dickson, who had been frowning over the past two days, finally cracked a smile as he watched Charlotte walk away.He had naturally thought that Charlotte would turn out to be a difficult diva, more difficult than those celebrities who enjoyed putting on airs. After all, she was Zachary Connor’s wife, and he had heard that Zachary prized her like treasure.To his surprise, Charlotte was not afraid of hardship. She had jumped into the ice-cold water without hesitation.The most surprising part of all—despite the fact that the girl had zero experience in acting, she had exuded charm as she had been running toward “Vincent Darkholme”. Her expression had been full of sorrow. She had been so immersed in her role that she had actually burst into tears when she held “Vincent Darkholme”...Not many A-list actresses had her level of acting skills either!She would probably shock the world with his guidance from now on!Furthermore, she had a pure, natural, incomparably exquisite face. Dick
However, after the ripples of excitement subsided in her eyes, the anticipation in Charlotte’s gaze turned into rejection. “Since you’ve found a place where evidence is hidden, shouldn’t you be on your way to get the evidence now? Why are you back here again?”Bryson stood in the wind, the evening sun shining down on his silhouette and his face looking as handsome as a sculpture. “Because Michael locked the evidence in the Time Capsule.”Charlotte understood everything in an instant.The Time Capsule—Three years ago, when Charlotte and Bryson had still been a couple, Michael had created a cryptex for the three of them that required the fingerprints of at least two of them to be unlocked.Now that Michael was no longer alive, Bryson could only come to her.“In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s hurry!” Charlotte got back in the car nimbly.Bryson grabbed her hand nervously. “I suspect that Jebediah may have secretly installed a tracking device in your car. That’s how he f
“How would I dare to do that?” Lucas’s handsome face was on the brink of crying. “In order to protect Mrs. Connor, I’ve been tracking her car and cell phone. A few minutes ago, after Mrs. Connor drove out of the Virtual World Film Studios, she drove her car back to the parking lot after a while, and then her cell phone was turned off. This didn’t feel right, so I gave Dickson a call—“After checking the surveillance footage at the gate of the studio, Dickson found out that Mrs. Connor had run into Bryson while driving the car out of the gate. After talking to Bryson, she turned off her cell phone, drove the car back into the parking lot, and then got into Bryson’s car... Sigh! While Mrs. Connor and Bryson were talking, the two of them were holding hands, not to mention how intimate they were. Second Master! That scumbag Bryson has abducted Mrs. Connor!“Second Master, where are you going?“Second Master, let’s come up with a plan before we intercept Mrs. Connor... Second Master!“S
“One, two... six. Tiffany… She... How could there be so many men?” Based on the dozens of photos, there was no limit to what the people in the photos could do. They were so explicit that they would make anyone blush when going through the content.Bryson trembled hard. “These are just the men that she got together with before she returned to Rothesay from Burasia...“No! I can’t accept it! Tiffany Miller is a filthy, shameless b*tch! I actually… I actually treasured her as if she was my baby. I couldn’t even wait to dig my heart out and hand it to her. I was so stupid, so blind. I just wish I could strangle myself to death!“ Bryson hit himself in the face, landing one slap after another.Charlotte was also stunned by these photos, so much so that her attention was completely on them and she did not even notice that Bryson was slapping himself.She had also thought about investigating and exposing Tiffany’s dark history in the past. However, someone had helped Tiffany cover her filt
The lifted corners of Jebediah’s lips looked a little faint, unconcerned, and ironic.Bryson subconsciously tightened his grasp on the envelope. “Jebediah Valentine, I went to your friend’s house to record a video last time. You caught me for trespassing, but it was still excusable. This time, I’m in my own house, so what right do you have to break in just like this? What do you want?!”Jebediah sneered. “Don’t be so nervous. I just want to take a look at what’s in your hand.”“No way!” Bryson’s body became stiffer, and coldness and panic intertwined in his fiery eyes. “This envelope contains a diary written by Michael before his death. I came here to grab it and I’m going to burn it in front of his tombstone today. Jebediah, is your life too boring? Just what information do you expect to get from a dead man’s diary?”“Oh really?” Jebediah smiled even more ironically. “I think that if that was your brother’s diary, you would’ve handed it to me long ago. It’s even clearer that somet
Tiffany opened the envelope.The moment she saw those photos, she screamed as if she had been electrocuted, and the photos fell from her trembling hands and were scattered all over the ground.The several bodyguards who had come with Jebediah and were standing nearby were not surprised to see these photos.‘Bah! Which one of Jebediah’s subordinates doesn’t know about Tiffany? According to the feedback from Mr. Valentine’s clients, Tiffany was born to please men...’“Bryce, these...” Tiffany found her voice again after a while. “Is this the evidence that Michael collected before he died?”Bryson did not look at Tiffany, but he felt nauseated just by hearing her voice. “That was truly new and unexpected. I thought you would explain that these photos were photoshopped. Hah. Fortunately, you didn’t turn to sophistry, because if you were to do that, everyone present would only think that you’re shameless, ridiculous, and have the guts to be filthy but don’t have what it takes to confes
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a
“Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
“What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon
“Don’t forget who I am. There’s nothing that I can’t find out as long as I want to know... Aaaah—“Baby, you‘re hurting me. Don’t be too greedy... Oh, slow down, I’m on the phone. Oh. Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay. You should
Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
