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
Charlotte walked up to the second floor straight away.She pulled out her laptop, wrote an essay on Tiffany, photoshopped more than ten pictures, and sent her “venomous piece” along with the pictures in a file, then sent it to Coraline.She had just closed her laptop when she received a video call from Coraline.“Carlie! What are you doing? Your usual stories on Tiffany are disgusting enough. Haven’t you disgusted me enough? Why did you send these to me?”“Calm down. I’m not sending these just to show you. I wanted you to contact that hacker friend of yours and ask him to put these online.”Coraline, who was in her clothing store, had a closer look at the pictures that Charlotte had sent over and suddenly understood. She smiled wickedly. “Haha… You’re awesome, Carlie. Alright then, just wait and see then.”It was noon. Charlotte’s stomach was rumbling after her busy morning.Zachary was still fast asleep when she arrived downstairs.In the past, Zachary was like a king made of
Charlotte looked through the script again.Zachary was still asleep when she had her dinner. She wasn’t used to sleeping early, but she still wanted to get an early night. She needed a good night’s sleep to feel invigorated enough for tomorrow’s shoot.Charlotte had a dream that night.In that dream, she was stripped and thrown onto the snowy ground. Every part of her body was so cold that she felt as if it would shatter. She walked around everywhere, barefoot, hoping to find warm shelter…Finally, a stove appeared in front of her, and she hurriedly charged toward it.Suddenly, she felt an ice-cold breath brushing against her ear.‘Wait? The stove can talk?’Her eyes flew open in panic. She panicked even more when she saw Zachary’s charming face. “Zachary… Were you talking to me? What… Are you doing in my bed?”“Oh?” Zachary, as handsome as a god, curved his lips mockingly. “Did you really think that you could conceal your intentions toward me just by saying that?”Charlotte b
