‘It’s my fault that Jackie’s about to die!’“Do you really think that crying will bring Jackson Harper back?”Charlotte wondered if she was imagining things as soon as she heard that melodious, pleasant voice. She turned around and saw that handsome, stunning face.“Zach… ary?” She called out his name in shock.The group of more than ten crew members around Charlotte, who had been eating with her, looked as if they had been hit by a stunning spell. They stared in a daze at Zachary.The tall, regal man had drawn everyone’s attention the moment he’d entered the cafeteria…He was like a snow flower on the top of an ice mountain. He commanded such respect that no one dared breathe too heavily, and no one certainly dared approach him. However, he was so beautiful and attractive that they only dared admire him from afar and could not tear their eyes away from him…So this was Zachary Connor!“That’s me.”Zachary spoke in an indifferent tone, yet his voice had a special kind of charm
The luxurious supercar smoothly arrived at the Divine Sanctuary District.Even though she hadn’t had a bite to eat on set, Charlotte did not feel hungry at all. All she wanted to do was collapse on the bed and have a good nap to digest her sorrow.Thus, when she walked into the first-floor living room, she didn’t bother looking anywhere else. She simply strode toward the spiral staircase.“You’re back, Carlie.”A familiar voice suddenly rang out from her right, further up ahead.Charlotte wondered if she was imagining things. She followed the voice and saw Jackson sitting on the couch. Her knees buckled from fright. “Jackie, is it really you?”“Of course it’s me, Carlie. We met yesterday at Tiffany’s wedding too. It’s only been 20 hours. Have you forgotten me already?”Charlotte’s hair stood on end when she heard his voice so clearly and saw him standing up from the couch and walking toward her. Her face was drained of color.“Jackie…”She had no idea how she managed to speak.
After coming back from the dead, he truly understood why Charlotte had not killed Tiffany like he had wanted to, no matter how much she hated her.He might have avenged Bryson that way, but he would have lost his life in the process too! His mother, whose world revolved around him, had cried herself to exhaustion when he had been sentenced to death. According to Zachary, Charlotte had been devastated too. She had completely lost her wits…If his execution had been carried out and his life had ended like that, he would have pushed his loved ones into a fiery furnace!At that moment, a black Stretch Lincoln Limousine stopped outside the French windows.Soon, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He bowed before Zachary and said with reverence, “Mr. Connor, everything’s been arranged according to your wishes. He must leave with me as soon as possible, just in case.”Zachary’s handsome face was as black as a cauldron’s bottom, and his voice was like ice. “Mm!”Nightingale shiv
Zachary’s inky, dark eyes flashed with a peculiar glint.“Why do you ask?”“You’re always so good to me. I used to think that you were simply carrying out your duties as my husband, that you would have done the same for any other woman who was your wife, but you’ve been way too good to me. I can’t help but think… Well…”Charlotte was now incoherent. She patted her racing heart.“Okay, I just want to know if your kindness for me stems simply from duty. Is there any other reason? For example… love?”The regal, cold, stunningly handsome man gently raised his dark brow.“I’ve always believed that there’s no need to talk about established facts. As long as someone isn’t stupid and thinks it over carefully, they’ll see the truth clearly.”‘What?’Charlotte looked confused. “What are you talking about?”Zachary shook his head, turned around, and left.“Hey! You didn’t answer my question! Hey, Zachary… Zachary!”Zachary had walked away long ago.Charlotte stared at Zachary’s figure
It wasn’t like she had zero experience. It was just that… this baby had a hold on her heart. Every time something seemed wrong with him, she would panic from worry and lose all sense of rationality.“Sigh!”Coraline couldn’t help sighing when she saw the look on her face.“Don’t forget, this is the son of your husband and your love rival. Why do I feel as if you see him as your biological son? Hmm? Carlie! You have such good chemistry. Maybe he really is your son. Maybe you should have a DNA test!”Charlotte gently pushed Coraline.“Stop it, Cora!”“I’m being serious!”Coraline lifted her hand and pointed at the door to the DNA laboratory.“For some reason, I can’t shake the feeling that you have this indescribable kinship with this baby. You lost your baby, didn’t you? What if Lorraine picked up the baby you lost? Look, we’re already at the door of the DNA laboratory. It wouldn’t hurt you or the baby to have a DNA test. Just do it for fun. What if you really are his mother? Th
“Carlie! Congratulations!”Coraline wrapped her arms around Charlotte excitedly.“I didn’t expect this either! I really didn’t think it’d turn out this way, but my deviousness actually made it come true. So… Oh my god! Adorable little Poopoo is actually your son. I want to be his godmother! No! Carlie! Your son is my son too. I’m his mother too!”Coraline was so elated that she could fly.Charlotte, however, remained rooted to the spot. She did not move at all.She had no idea how she managed to find her voice and speak again. “How could this happen, doctor? Are you trying to make me happy just because I’m Zachary’s wife? Is that why you’re deliberately telling me this?”“Mrs. Connor, I’m a doctor. Why would I joke about such a thing with a patient? These are your DNA test results. Have a look.”She handed the results over to Charlotte.Charlotte’s hands trembled. She couldn’t even hold onto this flimsy piece of paper. The DNA report slipped through her fingers and landed by he
When that time came, Lorraine would get what she deserved!Everything would finally be over!Charlotte really wanted to see Zachary at once. She might be holding the little baby, but she walked faster than Coraline.They soon arrived at the parking lot.She opened the door to the driver’s seat and entered the vehicle, holding the baby.Coraline grabbed her. “Hey! You’re very emotional now, and you’re holding a baby. How do you expect to drive like that? Sit in the back. I’ll drive.”“Okay…”Charlotte gave Coraline the car keys.Just as she was walking to the back seat, someone appeared from around the corner and immediately ran toward her.The man snatched the baby from her arms before she could react, turned around, and ran away.“Poopoo!”Charlotte screamed as she sprinted after him.“Stop right there! Help! Someone’s stolen my baby! Help! Help… Ah!”She felt a sharp pain on the back of her head, her vision turned black, and she collapsed on the ground.Meanwhile, anoth
“Carlie, have you lost your mind?” Lorraine stood up immediately. “You were so bored that you brought my son to the hospital for a maternity test, and all this has now caused my son to be kidnapped. Not only did you not apologize to me after waking up, but you put all the blame on me? Hahaha... Charlotte Simmons, I understand what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that Zachary will hold you accountable, so you’re trying to redirect all the responsibility onto me!”Lorraine looked like she was extremely aggrieved and wronged as she kept pointing at Charlotte in agitation.Charlotte knew that Lorraine could act, so she did not go into any nonsense with Lorraine and just raised her brows coldly.“Up until now, you’re trying your best to put up a deathbed struggle. Haven’t you always been smart? Why are you so stupid today? You really think that I would disclose such matters without any evidence?” While saying so, she stretched her right hand into her pocket.However, it was empty.She r
