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
However, her heart was pounding violently against her chest. She was so excited and nervous that she couldn’t speak. Meanwhile, her face looked inflamed, extremely hot.‘D*mn it! I actually want to do wicked things with Zachary!’Charlotte’s good intentions to have a good night’s sleep promptly became non-existent.…“Madam, it’s time to wake up! Madam! Madam!”A maid woke Charlotte up.However, she was so exhausted that she simply hugged her pillow, refusing to get out of bed.“Madam, Mr. Connor specifically instructed me to wake you up by 07:30 a.m. before he left for the office, or you’re going to be late on your first day of filming.”Hearing this, Charlotte shot up from the bed like a spring. “Oh my god! Is it 07:30 a.m. already? Why didn’t my alarm ring?”“Uh… I heard your phone ringing in your bedroom, around half an hour ago when I arrived to clean the second floor. You were sleeping in Mr. Connor’s bedroom. Of course you wouldn’t have heard it.”Only then did Charlot
“You…”Tiffany was so enraged that her lithe body trembled. She pointed at Charlotte and snapped. “You b*tch! You’re such a b*tch! How dare you!”Yes, her reputation was smeared beyond repair, thanks to Charlotte.Actually, Charlotte’s antic in destroying her reputation online was a common occurrence. This was called “cyberbullying”. However, during normal cyberbullying instances, the rumors would collapse as soon as the victim clarified the situation.This time was different.Tiffany may have publicly declared her innocence on the first day of her scandal and hired professionals to point out the photoshopped flaws in those pictures, but another similar article was still released the next day, and on the third, fourth, and fifth day too… It continued on until this very day…It was obvious that the mastermind behind this really wanted to destroy her reputation. That person had hired many ghostwriters too, and they were tasked with slandering and cursing her every day.With a barr
“You! You…”Tiffany was thoroughly enraged. She nearly lost control and lunged at Charlotte.However, her eyes met with Charlotte’s ice-cold gaze as soon as she took one step forward. She screamed and stumbled backward.Luckily, Gillian caught her in time, stopping her from collapsing onto the ground.She would never forget the three knife stabs that Charlotte had given her.The three stabs served as a timely reminder for her—she was no match for Charlotte, the little shrew, in combat. If she wanted to defeat her, she had to use her wits. She could not do anything rash.“What’s wrong? Based on your earlier stance, I thought you were going to strangle me. You really took your time. Did you decide on strangling yourself instead?”Charlotte smirked disdainfully with relish in her eyes.Tiffany’s chest rose and fell rapidly as her face drained of color. “Charlotte, this is your final warning—stop slandering me at once, or I’ll make you regret it!”“Oh, really?”Charlotte frowned.
Charlotte had arrived back at Divine Sanctuary District.She felt an icy wind as soon as she had arrived in the living room.She looked around and realized that Zachary was sitting on the couch, eyeing her with his usual frosty gaze. She shivered with fright.“Hehehe… What are you doing home so early? Uh… Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?”“Yes.”Zachary, who was usually so indifferent that he showed no signs of emotion, had an obvious chill in his tone.Charlotte panicked. “Well… What’s wrong?”Zachary squinted his eyes emotionlessly.“Your outfit today, it’s too revealing!”‘What?’Charlotte lowered her head and looked at herself.‘Fine, the neckline on this jersey shirt is a little low… But this is the latest fashion trend. It’s everywhere on the street. At least four out of ten girls would be dressed in a top like this, okay?’Besides, she had worn this jersey shirt yesterday. Yesterday afternoon, at this time, Zachary had not said a word wh
