‘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
“Zachary, you are a smart person who can see things in their true color. At this point, it will only make me look like a fool in front of you if I keep covering up. Well, that’s right. Just like what you think, the reason I want to make Tiffany famous is that I want to use her as a revenge tool against Charlotte.”Jebediah admitted it readily.Since Zachary had begun to suspect him, if he refused to admit it, not only would it not bring any benefit to him, but it would also make him look like a laughingstock in front of Zachary.“Why?” Zachary stood regally upright. His icy eyes were deep, as if they could swallow everything into them. A sarcastic grin hopped onto Jebediah’s lips.“I’m sure you know why.”Zachary’s shapely brows were faintly furrowed, and a name nearly tumbled out of his lips.However, he swallowed the name that lingered on the tip of his tongue back to his stomach pit and gazed nonchalantly toward Jebediah’s car.“It’s because of her…”Jebediah was looking a
Charlotte Simmons!All of this was caused by that sl*t!Jebediah only felt as if every ounce of his energy had been sapped away. He walked staggeringly into his car and slumped onto the seat, his body wet and his mind drained.“See! This is Zachary. He can be heartless to me for Charlotte’s sake, and now, when it’s your turn, he doesn’t even recognize you as his own uncle.” A clear voice rang out from his right side.Jebediah glanced at Lorraine, and his heart felt as if it was being clutched by a large invisible hand. His lips quivered, but he was not able to make any sound.“Why have you become like this? Zachary…”Lorraine gazed greedily at Zachary in the distance through the car window. She had been staying in the car. The reason she had not gotten out of the car was not that she did not want to see him. It was just that she did not want him to see her in her current situation. “Now you realize how stupid you are already, Jebediah? How good an opportunity did you miss? If y
Charlotte realized that Zachary had fallen fast asleep on the couch once he sat down as soon as they had arrived home. The phone in his pocket vibrated continuously but to no avail. He would not wake up.Charlotte was about to wake him up to answer the phone.The maid, Janet Plain, quickly stopped her. “Madam, Mr. Connor hasn’t slept in more than 30 hours. Let him rest!”“Huh?” Charlotte was taken aback.“Didn’t he come home with me last night? Hasn’t he slept at all?”Janet glanced at Zachary, and her heart ached for him. “Sigh! Madam, you have no idea, do you? Mr. Connor did come home with you last night, but he had been standing outside your door after you went back to your room. He stood guard the entire night.”Charlotte was even more confused.She remembered that Zachary had been standing right outside when she pushed the door open this morning.That explained why he looked a little haggard—he had been standing outside all night.“But…”Charlotte has no idea how she man
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
