It turned out that Charlotte’s finger touched an unknown spot on the screen, and the video started playing again.Charlotte stared fixedly at Bryson’s face and wanted to replay the video, but a huge hand suddenly grabbed the iPad and snatched it abruptly.Charlotte looked at Zachary, who had snatched the tablet from her with a bewildered look. “What are you doing?”“Helping you to put it away.” Zachary, who looked as handsome as a deity, concealed all the emotions. What was left on the surface was only indifference.“Lucas, why are you standing over there looking all stupefied? Aren’t you going to help Mrs. Connor with her stuff?” While talking, Zachary turned off the iPad and threw it into the box.“Yeah! Roger that! Roger that!” The nimble-footed Lucas immediately picked up the box and ran out of the door in a blink of an eye.Charlotte stood in front of the empty white marble table in a daze and was unable to return to her senses for a while.She did not see the hint of wicke
Seeing Charlotte, Tiffany took the initiative to stop her entanglement with the guard and took a step backward. “Charlotte Simmons, I just heard that you rushed to Bryce’s house early in the morning. Thus, I came here in a hurry, wanting to stop your conspiracy.”“Is it so?” Charlotte scoffed. “Do tell me, what’s the conspiracy that I have in mind now?”“You killed Bryce! You must have some wicked motives up your sleeves since you came to his house. Maybe you want to occupy all his valuable collections, or perhaps you wish to seize his property... I’m the person that Bryce loved the most when he was still alive, so I’ll help him stop you no matter what!”Tiffany, who was outside the iron gate, was gaunt, and the dark circles under her eye sockets were terrifying.She had been crying all night. She hated the fact that she had killed Bryson with her own hand, and she hated Charlotte even more.‘If Bryce didn’t block the stab for Charlotte, she would’ve been the one who died... If Ch
Charlotte stared at this knife in a daze. Her gaze was far colder than the blade of this dagger. “You keep on saying how much you love Bryson. You didn’t even fall into the abyss of remorse and despair after killing him with this knife. You still have the rationality and strength to pick it up and keep it on you. Won’t you worry that Bryson’s soul would possess this knife and reap your soul in order to get back at you?”Because of the extreme agitation, Charlotte’s hand that was holding the knife was trembling.Due to this slight tremor, the blade clinging onto Tiffany’s neck cut through her skin.“Charlotte Simmons, don’t get all stirred up! Listen to me!” Tiffany almost wet her trousers. Half of her face was as flushed as a tomato, while the other half was as pale as death.“This knife isn’t the one that killed Bryson. I bought two identical daggers before this for self-defense purposes. Mr. Valentine disposed of the one that killed Bryson together with Bryson’s corpse! Charlotte
‘Although Bryson repeatedly told me not to seek revenge against Tiffany, I can’t let Michael and Bryson’s death go to waste. I have to expose what Tiffany has done...‘Before Tiffany receives the retribution she deserves, I won’t let her live her life in peace. I’ll make her suffer every day from now onward!’Charlotte stood up and turned around only to find that Zachary was standing not far away from the scene. Her fingers trembled. “When did you... Since when did you come?”“I’ve always been here.” Zachary’s voice sounded rather indifferent.Charlotte seemed to have heard a clap of thunder. “So, did you see all the things that I just did to Tiffany?”Zachary’s face was as cold as a glacier. “Yes.”Charlotte did not utter a single word, trying her best to keep herself somewhat calm. “I know that what I’ve done is irrational, and I also know that you must really want to blame me at this moment. You can reprimand me if you want to do so. You can even hit me if you feel like doing
Charlotte felt a hint of warmth on her skin.Zachary squeezed her chin with his thumb and index finger and lifted her tiny face a little bit. His bright and shining eyes were extremely captivating. “Are you coming home with me?”Charlotte seemed to have been enchanted by him. She nodded in a daze and followed Zachary as he left.Lucas, who had been standing at the door, did not follow Zachary and Charlotte but walked up to Tiffany calmly, “I said, Ms. Lil’ B*tch, are you dead yet?”Tiffany opened her lips in pain. “No...”Lucas did not even bother to look straight at her. “So, why don’t you climb back into your car by yourself?”“I... Why should I climb back into my car? What do you want to do to me!?” Tiffany was trembling in anxiety as she stared at Lucas defensively.“Bah! Don’t worry. We’re not as vicious as you are. We won’t kill people that casually. I’m here to help Mrs. Connor send you to the hospital.”Lucas got into Tiffany’s car after saying so.Tiffany looked at hi
A hint of aggrieve appeared on Jebediah’s icy eyes. “Everything I said is the truth. I didn’t anticipate that kind of thing happening yesterday. I’m truly sorry about his unexpected death.”“Really?”Charlotte’s eyes were filled with sadness when she remembered the things Bryson had said.“I heard that you have a lot of evidence against Tiffany. If you really feel sorry for Bryson, you should take the initiative to use this evidence to expose Tiffany and help me to avenge Bryson! Instead of being vain and just paying lip service to apologies that don’t make any sense.”“This is the reason I came for you.” Jebediah’s voice rang out.Charlotte was delighted.“You want to expose Tiffany too?”“I have the idea, but it’s up to you to decide whether I will put the idea into practice.” Jebediah, who was as unworldly handsome as Zachary, had deep, swirling ice eyes.Charlotte was stunned.Jebediah flicked the cigarette butt into the river. He turned his head to look at Zachary in the
Jebediah froze.Charlotte was even more certain of her deduction, so she raised her eyebrows defiantly.“Go back and tell Lorraine to perish the thought.”She would rely on her own ability to avenge Bryson.In the worst-case scenario, she would be bitten to death by Tiffany, that viper, just like Bryson. She would rather go down in glory than make a deal with Lorraine against her conscience!Jebediah’s thoughts wavered.He was certain that Charlotte was a sl*t that was very skilled in manipulating other people’s emotions.However, he did not know why but sometimes, when he saw this frail yet stubborn and unyielding woman, he could feel his heart rippling as if a stone was thrown into his heart.Sometimes, he even felt that this woman had some sparks that Lorraine lacked.‘D*mn it! Why would I think like this?’Zachary had become this woman’s puppet. Could it be that he was going to follow in Zachary’s footsteps?“Then there’s nothing more to discuss between us!” Jebediah f
Charlotte picked up a stone and threw it toward Jebediah. Then, she curled her lips into a snicker and said, “Jebediah, you’re going to die an awful death!”By the time Jebediah came out of the river, Charlotte had already returned to the garden. Zachary was currently standing at the spot where she stood before.Jebediah cast Zachary a glance and attempted to leave.“Hold on a second!” Zachary’s frosty and magnetic voice erupted out of a sudden.“You still owe me an explanation.”“I owe you an explanation?” Jebediah asked knowingly.“I don’t know what you are talking about. You go your way, and I’ll go mine. Since when do I have to explain my business to you?” After that, he resumed walking. Suddenly, a black silhouette whizzed past him. In the next second, Zachary stood in front of him, blocking his way like an iceberg.Even though both of them looked alike, Zachary’s aura was far stronger than his. Plus, Zachary’s face was extremely dark, and even Jebediah, “the second dem
