“You may continue with the act.”“No! I’m not acting! This woman isn’t me!” Lorraine, who was in a total panic, smashed the phone to the ground hatefully.She staggered toward Zachary and grasped his arm firmly with her trembling hands. “Zachary, you know what kind of woman I am, and you know how much I love you. I’ve always kept my chastity for you, so how would I do such shameless things with another man...”When her eyes met Zachary’s mocking gaze, Lorraine shivered even more in trepidation. “No! Zachary! You have to believe me! You can’t just conclude that I’m an unscrupulous woman based on one video that came from an unknown source!”Charlotte knew that Zachary would no longer believe Lorraine at this point. What’s more, his unconcerned expression and indifferent eyes also showed that he was very disappointed in Lorraine.However, Charlotte still felt particularly uncomfortable while she was staring at Lorraine’s hands that were grabbing onto Zachary’s arm.There was even a
Zachary’s gloomy eyes were filled with sheer coldness. “You used to be best friends with Sarah Collins. She has gone to Fricana since last year. I’ll send you there to accompany her.”At that moment, Charlotte, who had been standing silently next to Zachary, felt her fingers tremble.Sarah Collins—Rothesay’s former supermodel.The reason Sarah was the former supermodel was that she had tried to spike Zachary’s wine last year in order to get him to have sex with her. Zachary had sent her to Fricana to work as a coal miner because of that.Charlotte heard that Sarah had been leading a miserable life in Fricana.She was weak and slow when it came to digging coal, so she got severely beaten by the coal mine owner every day. Now, not only was she extremely skinny, but she also got as tanned as the native Fricanians…‘Will Zachary be willing to send Lorraine there?’“You actually want me to go over there and mine for coal...” Endless despair piled up and formed a mountain of hail in L
However, not only did Lorraine not repent, but she became even more reckless and out of her mind...After Lorraine had strangled Poopoo to death, she had completely forced Charlotte into a desperate corner. Thus, she, who had nowhere else to retreat to, had no other choice but to fight back!What’s more, Lorraine had laid her fingers on Nicky now!Therefore, Charlotte did not say anything to Lorraine but chased after Zachary immediately. “I know that you’re feeling very blue right now, about that... I can lend you an embrace for a short while.”She opened her arms, and it looked like she was asking Zachary to hug her.When looking at her blushing cheeks and brilliant eyes, the gloomy haze that was shrouding Zachary’s eyes before this faded slightly.This was the first time this woman had taken the initiative to hug him.If this were to take place in the past, he would be moved, ecstatic, and would not hesitate to hug her.However, his heart had already frozen into a cube of ice
Zachary raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were slanted. “I think there’s no need for you to help her with the meaningless explanation. What you should do instead is to go to Fricana and be a coal miner with her.”“Oh, is it?” Jebediah glared at Zachary with his unconcerned eyes. “Now you tell me. I’m doing all fine, so why should I listen to your orders and become a coal miner in Fricana!”Zachary’s eyes turned terrifyingly gloomy all of a sudden. “Because you and Lorraine are the masterminds behind this foul play.”“Oh?” Jebediah pretended to be surprised at first. But he burst into laughter in the next second as if he had just heard a huge joke. “Haha! Zachary, you really are so befuddled. You’ve made me laugh so hard, haha...“Hahahaha!”Zachary did not interrupt his laughter but looked at him silently. His gaze was as cold and deadly as a blade.Charlotte looked at Jebediah as if she was looking at a dead body.‘Zachary is a man of principles. Jebediah is Lorraine’s
Even Zachary, who had never lost control of his emotions, had an obvious shock.“Mr. Connor, nice to meet you. I often listen to Mr. Valentine talking about you. Mr. Valentine said that you look exactly like him, but I’ve always been quite skeptical. Seeing you with my own eyes today, it’s true. Although I’m very close with Mr. Valentine, if you were to stand next to each other, I may not be able to distinguish the both of you.” A woman wearing a blood-red dress swayed her slender waist as she sashayed toward Zachary like an anaconda.The expressionless Zachary stared at the woman’s face in a daze. There was a hint of shock in his usual, icy eyes that seldom showed emotions.Even Zachary was so shocked, let alone Charlotte.Charlotte stared at the woman’s face in a daze. Her eyes were about to pop out of their respective socket.Although this woman dressed boldly, had glamorous makeup on and had a seductive temperament that was very distinct from Lorraine’s, her figure looked too
Zachary did not react.Charlotte, on the other hand, was bursting. She pointed at the “fake” Lorraine’s face.“You’re lying. The woman in that video who had sex with Jebediah is Lorraine. You’re only saying this because Jebediah told you to!”“Miss Simmons, I’ve been in Rothesay for almost eight years now, so I’m well aware of the devil of Rothesay, the man who should never be crossed. I’d have to be insane to lie to Mr. Connor.” The woman turned toward Lorraine, who was still on the ground. “Besides, Mr. Valentine is always telling me how reserved and pure Miss Larson is. If you saw the video, you’d notice how far Mr. Valentine and I have gone. Even a wh*re might not have been able to go through with such things. Miss Simmons, please think things through before making false accusations against Miss Larson. Miss Larson is as pure as a teenage girl. How can you expect her to do that with a man?”Charlotte did not retort.It was true!She would never have thought that Lorraine woul
She wanted to tell him that he hadn’t failed her…If she put herself in Zachary’s shoes and thought it through, he had always carried a torch for Lorraine, and Lorraine had always claimed that she’d kept herself pure for him. Thus, he had been very shocked when he had seen that video. But now, a woman who looked exactly like Lorraine had arrived and said that she was the woman in the video. He couldn’t possibly not believe her…However, Charlotte’s lips felt like ice. She couldn’t seem to speak.Lorraine had murdered Poopoo and had beaten Nicholas to a pulp. Nicholas had risked his life to get her that video!She had been only one step away from exposing Lorraine, but she had still failed!‘Lorraine is so slick! No wonder she kept denying that she was the woman in the video. She was being crafty. She and Jebediah had planned everything out. She knew that Jebediah would come up with a woman who looked exactly like her to save her!’Charlotte’s body suddenly shook. Zachary had pull
Lorraine’s teary eyes were filled with even more resentment as she watched Zachary walking further and further away with his arm around Charlotte.“We were seriously lucky this time. We would’ve been finished if I didn’t happen to have a woman who looked almost like you.” An arm reached out for Lorraine as the magnetic voice spoke.However, Lorraine couldn’t be bothered to hold that hand. Instead, she forced herself to stand up.She continued staring at Zachary’s back.“That’s right! I never thought that Zachary would be so cruel to me. He immediately started threatening to send me to the coal mines after finding out that I lied to him, even without any evidence. He even said that he’d make my life a living hell once he found proof. Zach… Charlotte is the only thing on his mind. Just how significant am I to him?”Jebediah awkwardly pulled his hand away.“Since you’ve clearly identified the situation, you should make a more beneficial decision as soon as possible.”“What?”Only
