“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
She smiled at Zachary. “Luke told me that you have to drink warm water whenever your symptoms flare up. There’s a cup of warm water on the table. You should drink it.”A crack formed in Zachary’s chiseled face.Charlotte knew that he would never be able to catch up to her at this point, as he was pretty far away from her. So she wasn’t scared. In fact, she giggled and stuck out her tongue. “Why are you still glaring at me, Zachary? Your sickness is more important. Drink your water!”She ran upstairs at top speed as soon as she said this.‘Zachary! He must have seen Lorraine again today. That’s why he’s experiencing symptoms and is so tense. From now on, I’m not going to coax him or console him whenever he experiences his symptoms. I’m certainly not going to be his punching bag either. I’m going to annoy him, just like today!’Click! Thud!The door on the second floor opened and closed.Zachary stood at the doorway of the first-floor living room like an ice sculpture. His sulle
“Of course. You’re Miss Larson’s sister and Mr. Connor’s wife. Poopoo is no different from your own son. You can hold him whenever you like.” The nanny pushed the stroller nearer to Charlotte.Charlotte’s fingers stiffened.‘Poopoo is no different from my own son…’The nanny was simply making a nonchalant statement, yet it brought an earth-shattering tsunami into her heart, like a hurricane.She picked up the baby excitedly.The baby’s unique fragrance washed over her as a special kind of happiness overwhelmed her too. She could feel his heartbeat as she held the tender little baby in her arms. The rhythm of his heartbeat was strangely in line with hers as if their hearts were beating as one…“Ma… Ma.”The baby gurgled in a babyish tone.Charlotte’s mind went blank.She nearly lost her sense of rationality and nodded in response, at first.However, she was still quite conscious.She knew that the first word that babies less than a year old was commonly “mama”. In other words
“Weren’t you badly injured? How did you do it?”“Well, it’s obvious. One word—money…”At this point, Lorraine suddenly felt as if a fishbone had been stuck in her throat because she had heard Poopoo calling Charlotte “mama” in her arms. Was there some sort of psychic connection between mothers and their children?She had been trying to get Poopoo to say the word, over and over again, every day, but he had been vehemently refusing to call her “mama”. Yet as soon as Charlotte held him in her arms, it came from his lips so naturally…Lorraine calmed herself.“You can go online and see for yourself. The technology in plastic surgery has certainly grown rapidly. Changing your face is pretty easy as long as you’re willing to pay for it, let alone getting rid of a scar. I’m glad that Jebediah’s willing to spend on me. He even told me that I could make my face even prettier if I wanted to since I’m getting rid of the scar. But I refused. I’d like to go back to the way I used to be. That
Charlotte was shocked.In the past month or so, Zachary had fallen ill more than once. She had always thought that Zachary had been meeting with Lorraine frequently. Only now did she learn that he had never seen Lorraine all this time...He would only get sick when he saw Lorraine in the past.Now, his condition had become so serious that he would fall ill without having to see Lorraine? Even thinking about her was sufficient to cause that?Zachary had already come to Lorraine and casually opened his pearl-white teeth and thin lips. “Congratulations on the great recovery.”Charlotte bit her lip unhappily. A hole seemed to have been drilled open in her heart the moment Zachary congratulated Lorraine, and endless jealousy started gushing out like crazy...Unexpectedly, Lorraine’s face seemed to be frozen.Ever since Zachary arrived at the scene, his gaze had always been on Charlotte. He had never looked away from Charlotte, even when he was talking to her.‘He didn’t even take a
Okay! He had gotten a little too excited indeed after he saw Charlotte.Miranda rubbed Zenios’s head and gave Charlotte an irritated sideways glance. “Sigh! Poor Zenios. As one of your elders in the family, let me warn you about something. When it comes to some overly ambitious women, there’s no need to try to do anything to win her heart after she’s gotten herself a man that’s better than you. Because after she’s secured that man, there’s no way that she’ll set her eyes on you anymore. Unless you’ve become better than the man that’s standing next to her, or pray that the man will someday reduce to a standard that’s inferior to you, that’s the time when she may reconsider you.”“About this… Ahem!” Of course, Zenios understood that the “better man” that Miranda referred to was Zachary.He could not help but glance at Zachary.Unexpectedly, Zachary was glaring at him with a cold and terrifying gaze. The moment his gaze collided with Zachary’s glare, he trembled with fright and hurrie
