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
Zachary looked at her indifferently. “Lory, this is nothing personal.” Lorraine was stunned.However, before she could make eye contact with Zachary, he had already turned his head to Zenios. Lifting his brows, he said, “Zenios, I have to thank you.”“Second Uncle, why are you thanking me?” Zenios asked, his smile fake.A hint of evil glint crossed Zachary’s eyes as he said, “The costume you gave my wife, I have to say, it’s very enjoyable.”Zenios’s Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat, and he just wanted to bury himself in a hole. Suddenly, Zachary put his hand on his shoulder.“If you come across a costume like this in the future, remember to buy one for her. She and I both enjoyed it very much.”Zenios’s tall body swayed, and it took him a great deal of effort to force the voice out of his lips. “Ha, ha!”Crack!Zachary opened the door and went into the driver’s seat. Then, he started the engine, and the car whizzed past Lorraine by a hair width.Lorraine closed her eye
Zachary gently opened his light brown lips but did not say another word.A few minutes later, Zachary stopped the car at the side of the road. He pushed the door open before Charlotte could ask him what he was doing and got out of the car.Zachary held two clothing store bags in his hand when he returned.“Put these on.”Charlotte realized, to her surprise, that the clothes Zachary had bought for her were powder puff pink in color—a shade she greatly disliked.‘Fine! I’ve heard that most men believe that a woman’s favorite colors are red and pink. They think that red and pink are the best colors to showcase a woman’s gentle characteristics… Looks like Zachary is no different!’However, regardless of how much Charlotte did not like the color, it was better than wearing nothing at all. She quickly put on the clothes.“Mm.” Zachary nodded, very pleased. “This color suits you.”The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. It took a lot of strength for her to finally say the words, “Th
So Jackson was not exaggerating when he said that Bryson was just as important as his mother!“Carlie, why aren’t you answering me?”The shape of the boy’s face and his features were very similar to Bryson, even when he looked enraged. The popping vein on his forehead and eyes spitting with flames looked similar to Bryson too.Charlotte tried her best to remain calm.“Where did you hear that? What do the rumors say?”“Those who know Bryce are saying that Tiffany stabbed Bryce in the heart. They’re saying that you were there too. Apparently, Tiffany dug out his heart after killing him and ate it in front of you. Then, she ate all of his flesh over the next few days in order to get rid of his body and evidence. She’s even swallowed his bones…”‘Oh my god!’Charlotte’s face was drained of color. She took a deep breath.“Jackie, those rumors are simply too outrageous. They’re obviously fake. Tiffany’s not a monster. How could she possibly eat a man?”Jackson shook his head. “But B
Charlotte tore the box open, overcome with curiosity. Something in green and blue slowly came into view. Finally, she realized that it was a cartoon T-shirt with the words “Wild Girl” on it…That’s right. It was the very same cartoon T-shirt that Zenios had given to her, and Zachary had torn to pieces more than half an hour ago!Charlotte held the top she wanted in her arms excitedly. Charlotte trembled with emotion.“Don’t you want to know who gave this to you?”The regal and perfect Zachary looked like a god underneath the car headlights.She opened her lips absentmindedly. “I saw it. The card in the box said ‘From Mr. Connor’. You bought this for me. You’re so good to me, Zachary. Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”Zachary may seem nonchalant on the surface, but his heart felt like a flower garden in the wind, filled with warmth.…The next day, Charlotte did not go to Virtual World to film the movie. Instead, she went to Prestige Advantage House for an interview.The other gue
In reality, it was a fake smile.‘Hmph!’Charlotte had completely destroyed her reputation over the past 30 days. Today, she had specifically arranged a large “gift” for Charlotte. She was going to make Charlotte pay for every humiliation she had made her suffer!Charlotte may be nervous, but she had practiced plenty of times before the program. She knew what questions the host would ask and how to answer them. So everything went pretty smoothly.The last segment of the program was an interactive session between Charlotte and the audience.They had to stand on stage and throw a ball. A few lucky members of the audience who successfully caught the ball would be invited on stage to receive an autographed photo.Tiffany was the first to throw the ball.A little girl caught the ball and won the prize.Once Tiffany gave the little girl an autographed photo, the host moved to give the ball to Charlotte when Tiffany looked as if a sudden whim seized her. “Kyla, I have a suggestion.
