Charlotte and Zenios entered the ward.Tiffany, who was sitting by the hospital bed, cupped her belly with her small trembling hands, her gaze looking dreary and sorrowful. “Whether you believe it or not, I really loved Bryce and I‘ve always wanted to give him a child. Even though he is no longer alive, this idea still enters my mind from time to time... But now that you’ve deprived me of the ability to have children, this idea has become a delusion I can never realize.”“Oh?” Although Charlotte thought it was ridiculous that Tiffany was putting all the blame on her, she was too lazy to argue with Tiffany about right and wrong. She only took off the mask calmly and smirked teasingly.“I think it’s still possible for you to conceive Bryson’s child.”“What are you talking about?” Tiffany’s eyes widened in shock.Charlotte pursed her lips. “Bryson has left this world for another realm, so it’s obvious that there’s no way for you to have a baby with him in this world. However, if you
Charlotte suspected that she was having an auditory hallucination. She stared at Tiffany blankly, her expression as frozen as if a harsh blizzard had hit her face.Zenios’s handsome and enchanting face was so distorted that there was no way for others to distinguish his features.‘Tiffany Miller! This c*nt! I can’t help but feel like vomiting whenever I think of her name. She actually brazenly said that she wants to sleep with me... And she wants to sleep with me for the rest of this lifetime...’“Zenios, do listen to my explanation first. What I mean by ‘sleeping with you for a lifetime’ is actually getting married to you. This is the only condition that I would accept, so you can only agree to my condition if you want to save Charlotte now.”Tiffany raised her arm and pointed to the door. “There are many reporters and internet influencers out there waiting to have an interview with me. Zenios, I’ll give you ten minutes to consider it. If you agree to this condition, we’ll sign th
The corners of Charlotte’s mouth trembled vigorously.It felt like a void had appeared out of nowhere on the surface of her heart, and countless emotions gushed out of the void just like a tsunami that had gone out of control. The stream of emotions seemed to have clogged up all her thoughts, and she was unable to utter a single word.She could only hold on to Zenios’s arm and not let go.Upon seeing her distressed expression, Zenios felt like his heart was being sliced into pieces. “Okay, Carlie, I’ll go with you.”He took a step and followed Charlotte to the door.“Huh? You just said that you’d accept my offer. Why are you leaving now? How can you just go without leaving a clue behind? What do you expect me to do after this?” Tiffany’s voice spoke behind them.Zenios stopped for a split second. “Haven’t I made it clear enough? We’ll sign the papers tomorrow.”Meanwhile, a buzz was echoing in Charlotte’s mind.Tiffany was so overwhelmed by joy that she broke into tears.Zenio
“Carlie, there’s no need to be so emotional.” Zenios interrupted Charlotte’s words with a smile.“You have to understand that in my eyes, any other woman except you is the same.”Charlotte did not know what to say as tears were spreading across her face in desperation.Zenios took a bag of tissues out of his pocket, grabbed one ply from the bag, wiped the tears on her face, but saw that her tears were still flowing. This hurt him so much that he had the urge to pull her into his arms.However, he could not!She was his second uncle’s wife, and he was not in a position to hug her!He could only hold her right hand and put the bag of tissues into her hand with his other hand before cupping both her trembling hands. “Second Uncle has arrived, and he doesn’t like to see us together. I’m leaving now.”After staring at Charlotte reluctantly for another second or two, he finally moved his long legs, turned around, and walked away.He did not tell Charlotte that he had always envied Br
Charlotte was pleasantly surprised.In the past, she had always kept a distance from Zachary because she was afraid of him. But now, she, who only wanted to prevent Zenios from marrying Tiffany, had forgotten all her fear. Not only did she take the initiative to grasp Zachary’s hand tightly, but she also raised her face and looked straight into his eyes,“Zachary, you can always surprise me with great ideas when I’m desperate, and I know you must have a way. Now tell me, what should I do?!”Zachary’s well-defined face looked slightly strange. “Zenios did this just to preserve your reputation. So as long as you take the initiative to leak the video that recorded the fight between you and Tiffany publicly, then there’s no need for Zenios to marry her anymore.”“Oh yeah! Yeah! Why didn’t I think of such a simple solution before this? Zachary, you’re amazing, thank you!”Charlotte was so ecstatic that she was a little irrational. She held Zachary’s shockingly handsome face, stood on t
Dickson rubbed his left cheek with his hand. “Yes, I can do that, but... Carlie, what do you need that for?”Charlotte knew there was no need to avoid talking about something like this, so she said openly, “I want to hold a press conference and let the masses know everything that happened in the fight between Tiffany and me. I want to use the surveillance footage to prove myself.”“Well…” Dickson and Mr. Cooper shared a glance, and then he said in a grave voice, “Carlie, the reason you’re doing this is to stop Zenios and Tiffany from getting married, right?”Charlotte was shocked, and her brows twitched. After roughly three seconds, only then did she find her voice back and said, “There were only three of us there when Zenios said yes to Tiffany. Mr. Barkley, where… Where did you learn it from?”“I’m afraid it’s an open secret now,” Dickson said as he passed his phone to Charlotte.“This is the hottest entertainment news that just hit the headlines. You should have a look at it.
Charlotte came to the car park in a daze.Her hand was cold, and the moment she grabbed the door handle, a big hand grabbed her wrist tightly.“How are you going to drive in your current condition?”She raised her head up absentmindedly, and Zachary’s handsome and emotionless face came into her vision. She wanted to say something, but tears fell from her eyes first when she opened her mouth.Zachary felt as if someone was stabbing his heart with needles when he saw her crying. He opened his thin lips slightly, but he did not say anything. He went forward and scooped her into his arms. When Lucas saw Zachary was coming toward him with Charlotte in his arms, he hastily opened up the door for them. “Mrs. Connor, I fully understand your feelings now, but I think you don’t need to be so sad. Think about it, Zenios has no feelings for Tiffany at all, so even if he married her, he would only treat her like she’s invisible. No matter how shameless Tiffany is if Zenios doesn’t say yes,
“What are you talking about, Jackie? When did I lie to you?”“I went to the police station yesterday to get them to help me look for Bryce, but Officer Zimmerman told me that the day Michael’s house was destroyed by fire, you already reported that Tiffany Miller had killed Bryce. You’ve been lying to me! You told me that Bryce is still alive and asked me to wait for him. Even if I wait for him for the rest of my life, he will not come back anymore!”The boy shouted so loudly and with so much emotion that everyone was looking at them. Charlotte was overwhelmed for a moment, her hands gripping the steering wheel uneasily. “Erm… Jackie. I said that for your own good, so listen to me. You have to take it easy. Don't be impulsive.”“Take it easy? How am I supposed to take it easy?!” Jackson pointed to Tiffany across the street.“Look at her, sis. Not only did she not get the punishment she deserves, but she also got married to a world-renowned celebrity while I cannot find Bryce’s b
