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.
Charlotte had known that something was off with Tiffany when she suggested they swap throwing balls for each other. As such, she had gone on high alert from that moment on. She could tell that something was wrong with that man before he arrived on stage, so she paid close attention to the man’s hands.Hence, when the man slipped his right hand into his clothes to take the bottle of feces, she saw it very clearly.“Ah!”Just as the man was about to splash the sh*t on her face, she tilted to the right and fell as if she had slipped on a banana peel. Tiffany happened to be standing on her right.Thus, it looked like she was instinctively grabbing onto Tiffany’s arm. She pulled Tiffany toward her original spot, and she fell onstage as if she had lost her balance.Then, the bottle of sh*t splashed against Tiffany’s face with a loud splat.It was as if time had stopped.Tiffany, whose face was drenched in sh*t, stood under the spotlight like a puppet. Her mind went blank. Not even the
Charlotte stretched out her back in pretense. “My back was hurt a little when I fell. I’m much better now, Kyla. Thank you for your concern.”“We’ll be inviting you for our future segments too. We’re going to be good friends, so you don’t need to be so formal with me.” Kyla sighed as she walked backstage with Charlotte, arm in arm.“However, your best friend, Tiffany, won’t be as lucky. Today’s stunt isn’t just going to affect her in a bad way, and it’s bad for our program too. We’re going to avoid her like the plague from now on. I’m afraid she won’t be invited to our show anymore.”Charlotte’s heart bloomed with happiness, yet she seemed unperturbed on the surface.“Sigh! Poor Tiffany. Let’s check on her backstage.”“Mm.”Tiffany was sitting on the couch when Charlotte and Kyla arrived backstage…She had already changed into clean clothes. Her exceptionally white face, seemingly from illness, was now as clean as the glowing moon. Her eyes were fixed upon an unknown direction,
