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
“Okay.” Lorraine gave off a sweet and faint smile.No one could see the disdain in her eyes.‘In fact, the more domineering some people are on the outside, the more fragile they are deep down. The reason why such people are arrogant and domineering on the outside is actually to satisfy their self-esteem and make others look up to them...‘Such people are often very ingenuous. So if someone were to want to please such a person, all they need to do is tell them things they like to hear, endure them, and compliment them!‘Miranda is such a person.’Therefore, in the past few months, Lorraine had been creating several random encounters between her and Miranda. She had invited Miranda to a meal several times, had given her two designer bags and three clothes, and had always been complimenting her for her “fine skin”, “good figure”, “sincere personality”, and so on...Gradually, Miranda had forgotten about their former enmity and started to treat her as her best friend...Lorraine wan
Charlotte’s heart skipped a beat, and her body became as stiff as a rubber band that had been stretched to its limit.She knew that Zachary was a man of his words.Since Zachary had promised to fulfill all of Miranda’s birthday wishes, he would definitely keep his promise. Hence, Zachary would surely comply with Miranda.‘No! I would never allow such a thing to happen!’ Charlotte decided that once Zachary agreed to comply with the request, she would bravely stand up and stop him at the risk of offending him! ‘I’m Zachary’s legal wife! I will never allow my husband to kiss any woman other than myself!’Therefore, she stared at Zachary, holding her breath...“Mimi, although I know you did this for my sake, my relationship with Zachary isn’t exactly the same as it was in the past, so don’t—”“Lory, don’t say anything anymore. This is between my brother and me, and it has nothing to do with you.” Miranda interrupted Lorraine, slightly raised her delicate face, and looked at her breat
Knowing that Zachary was a man who would not take back his own words, Miranda immediately changed her wish. “Okay, then I’ll change my wish. I’ve grown bored of the Bugatti that you gave me last year. I want the latest version of the gold Lamborghini.”Zachary responded with a glacial expression. “I’m afraid that your wish will only come true in the coming year.”Miranda was a little flustered. “Why?”The syllables that escaped Zachary’s thin lips sounded unconcerned. “Because I only promised you that you’d only get one chance at naming your birthday wish each year, and you’ve already made yours this year.”“Zach! How can you do this to me!?” Miranda, who went for wool but came back shorn, was so furious that she was trembling with anger. However, she knew better than anyone that she could not change Zachary’s mind no matter how hard she tried once he had decided on something. She could only stomp her feet unwillingly.“Hmph! If you’re not going to give me anything, then we’ll jus
This was supposed to be his moment!The man who Charlotte fawned over was supposed to be him!Lorraine, who was sitting in front of her, begrudgingly stuffed a mouthful of cream into her mouth.Roughly a month ago, Zachary had become the laughingstock of the city.Everyone was laughing at him because he was the infamous “No.1 demon in Rothesay”, yet he was not only henpecked by his wife at home, but he was also extremely possessive. Any man who got close to his wife would cause him to be jealous. They reckoned that if his wife picked up a male cat or a male dog, he would get jealous as long as it was the opposite sex.In the past, Lorraine had always thought those rumors were fake, but it seemed like she was wrong.She finally saw it with her own eyes today.Zachary!How could this cold and taciturn man become like this?She remembered clearly that when she had been with him, he wouldn’t care when she got too close to other people of the opposite sex. Once, when Zachary, Jebed
Charlotte looked toward the source of the sound, and at the end of her vision stood Zachary’s limited edition Rolls-Royce right in front of her. Her attention had been on the costume in Zenios’s hand, so she had not noticed when Zachary had appeared.At that moment, Zenios felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his blood ran cold. He had been wanting to give the costume to Charlotte the moment he saw her. It was just that Zachary had been keeping his eyes on him, so he dared not to do anything.Therefore, he had been waiting in the wings for the moment Charlotte was alone. Unfortunately, Zachary returned and upset his plan before he could give the costume to Charlotte.“Carlie, I suddenly remembered that I have to go home to see my parents. I’ll leave first. As for this costume, let me know later—”“Didn’t I tell you to give the costume to your Second Aunt?” Zachary’s melodic voice rang out once again.Zenios was frozen in place as if he had been under an immobilizing curs
“Argh!”She screamed out of fear.However, when she raised her head and realized that the person who patted her shoulder was none other than Zachary, a grin instantly blossomed on the corner of her lips as she said, “Erm, I like this costume very much. Thank you for your understanding and letting me have it.”Zachary narrowed his eyes. His gaze was deep, filled with a myriad of emotions, and there was a strange light glowing at the depth of his eyes. “Since you like it so much, why don’t you put it on now?”Huh!?Charlotte was stunned.‘Put it on now? How?’As if he could read her mind, Zachary pointed toward the hall in the main building, “Mom has prepared a room for you. It’s on the west side of the room where we threw the birthday party for Mimi. You can go in there and change your clothes.”Charlotte could not hold back her excitement after hearing what Zachary had said. She did not even bother to say thank you to Zachary and trotted toward the bedroom.A subtle devilish
Charlotte panicked. “Zachary, you—”In merely ten seconds, the costume that made Charlotte’s heart skip a beat and she cherished a lot became shreds of cloth.What frightened her the most was that after Zachary tore the costume into pieces, he rolled the window down and threw the shredded costume out of the car.It was only at this moment that she understood.Zachary’s generosity was nothing but a pretense.He did not want her to take the costume at all!He hated the costume to the core. He pretended to let her take it and let her wear it with only one purpose in mind...He wanted to destroy the costume in front of Zenios.Zenios was standing in front of the window, and his mesmerizing blue eyes had never been so dull and spiritless before.Watching at the strands of clothes that got thrown out of the car and landed around his legs, Zenios felt as if his heart had been mercilessly torn apart by Zachary.“Why are you still here, Zenios? Why are you standing in front of my brot
