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
“I don’t mind as long as Miss Larson doesn’t.”Lorraine’s face turned as white as a sheet of paper. She shot Jebediah a vicious glare. “I’ve had enough of you! Haven’t you defiled me enough? Don’t you have a limit?”“I don’t understand the concept of limits.”Jebediah gently curled his lips. His eyes were filled with ridicule. “All I know is that there are no limits between us. You just need to remember that remaining in my good graces is part of our deal!”Lorraine shut her eyes in agony.She had no answer. Jebediah had used her words against her.Jebediah hit the accelerator and the swift Lamborghini sped out of the hospital gate.They had just left the hospital when a red Ferrari drove after them at top speed. Then, it dangerously overtook them and braked abruptly.“F*ck!”Jebediah screamed as he hit the brakes.However, it was still too late. His car banged firmly against the back of the Ferrari.Jebediah was already annoyed to begin with, so he was even more enraged t
“Of course.”Lorraine elegantly leaned on the car.“Jebediah and I came up with a contingency plan as soon as we saw that brat taking a video of us from outside the window. My back-up plan was put into action when we found out that Zachary was coming to the hospital to see you.”Charlotte was in a daze.Lorraine noticed the confusion in Charlotte’s eyes and immediately understood.“So you still have no idea why he came to the hospital. Poor Zach. He’s so foolish that he’s been completely blinded by you, you tramp. He’s been quietly giving himself to you, yet he’s never asked for anything in return.”Charlotte was in no mood to waste her time on Lorraine. She curled her lips icily and said, “What are you trying to say?”“Nothing.”Lorraine shook her head.‘Zachary is really earnest with Charlotte! He’s been sending men out to follow her in secret and protect her ever since she was attacked, so he’s well aware of her every move. When he found out that she left the studio to see
Besides, Lorraine’s guardian angel, Jebediah, was still in the car, watching her very carefully. Jebediah wasn’t going to just stand by and watch if she attacked Lorraine…She glared at Lorrain’s back and seethed icily through her white teeth.“Nineteen! Remember this number.”“What?” Lorraine turned around in astonishment.However, she refused to look at Lorraine anymore. She walked away determinedly and got into her vehicle.Her hands trembled as she clenched them into fists.Her slender fingers dug into the skin of her palms.However, she did not feel any pain. Her clear eyes had never glared at anyone in such a bloodthirsty way!She had decided to give herself a month since Lorraine had strangled Poopoo. If she failed to expose Lorraine in a month, she would personally send her to hell.Today, she was even more determined than ever!It had been eleven days since Poopoo had been murdered.There were nineteen days left!She would not lash out at Lorraine on impulse in the
Charlotte rolled her eyes at him. “Go ahead.”“Well, here’s the thing. Half an hour ago, I received a tip from the gatekeeper at your home. Madam Valentine, as in your mother-in-law, is at your house.” Lucas’s eyes were filled with terror.Charlotte wasn’t bothered. “Isn’t it perfectly normal for my mother-in-law to visit my house? Why are you so nervous?”“I guess you really don’t understand your mother-in-law, milady!”Lucas shook his head.“If she’d come to see you with good news, she would have informed you in advance. Similarly, if she visits out of the blue, it’s definitely bad news. See, she’s been waiting at home for nearly 40 minutes now, and you’re still not there. She never told you about it. Who knows how much rage she’s holding in now? She’s waiting for your return to lash out at you.”‘Oh my god!’Charlotte trembled from fright.She returned home anxiously. As expected, she saw Annalita and Miranda sitting on the couch in the first-floor living room through the Fr
