The magnificent scene was much grander than Zenios and Tiffany’s wedding.The wedding guests might not be important figures of the entertainment industry or celebrities, like at Zenios’s wedding, but they were all respectable people. Most of them were legendary figures who were rarely seen in public.“Have you seen Koko? She looks absolutely stunning in her dress. I would have thought that she was a 20-year-old if I didn’t know her myself. Jefferson sure is lucky to be marrying a woman of her standards!” someone exclaimed.Another man shook his head disdainfully. “Pfft. Stop making such a fuss. I haven’t just seen her in a wedding dress. I’ve seen her completely naked too. Would you believe that?”“You! Koko is the bride. What’s all this nonsense?”“Nonsense? You’re the only man in Rothesay who knows her and hasn’t slept with her. Ask the other men in the hall if they’ve slept with her.”The first man was about to blow his top.However, someone patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t
Feeling exasperated, Kourtney stared at the hotel manager. “What the hell is wrong with your hotel? I spent so much money to hold my wedding ceremony at your hotel, but you guys couldn’t even keep the electrical supply up. It’s the most basic requirement, and you…”She could not continue anymore, as the 500-inch LCD screen behind her had lit up.The entire hall was dark as an abyss, and the dazzlingly bright LCD screen was the only light source, so everyone’s eyes were drawn to it.A second later, a picture appeared on the big screen.“Holy! This… Isn’t the woman in the photo Koko?” someone shouted.“It’s her! Oh my goodness! Don’t you think that picture is a bit too close to the bone? How can you show a picture like this at a wedding?”“That’s right! Who's making a joke? Even though we're no longer living in an old-fashioned world, Koko and Jefferson’s way of showing their affection to each other is very innovative and a little indecent… No! Wait! Look!”Someone shouted as if
“Jefferson, I…” Kourtney used to be very eloquent, but she could not say a thing right now, as the evidence was irrefutable. “Koko, you promised me. But why… I love you so much. What did I do wrong... Why are you punishing me like this?” Jefferson’s voice was shaking, and tears were streaming down his face. Everyone in the hall, including him, knew about Kourtney’s unsightly past. However, he did not care about it.Therefore, when he had seen the first two photos on the big screen, although he had felt embarrassed, he had not been angry with her. It was the video that broke him completely.This was because when he and Kourtney had registered their marriage the day before yesterday, Kourtney had promised him that she would lead an honest, clean life and be faithful to him after they got married. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Kourtney would be lying to him. She was as indulgent as before, and she’d even engaged in sexual activities with other men the night be
Walter stretched his right hand toward Kourtney.“Kourtney, it’s over. Let’s get up.”Although age had left some marks on Walter’s face, he still looked attractive. When looking at his gentle gaze, Kourtney’s mind went black for a moment. This time, she did not push him away but grabbed his hand.At that moment, every muscle in Walter’s body was pulled taut, for he did not expect Kourtney to grab his hand. In the next second, he tried his best to calm himself down and pulled Kourtney up from the floor.“I thought you would push me away like you used to do in the past… Koko! It’s been 21 years, and this is the first time you allow me to hold your hand.”“I thought that it would be someone else that would help me get to my feet…”Kourtney looked around in a daze.“Just now, amongst those men that came to the wedding, most of them had hooked up with me before. During the time when we were together, all of them filled my ears with a variety of lover’s prattles, and they all said tha
The grin on Kourtney’s face widened as she looked at the painful expression on Walter’s face.“Before this, I asked that tumor why you didn’t come to my wedding. It turns out that you came and had been hiding in the shadows. I’m really glad and happy that you could come to my wedding, Walter Simmons. After all, if you hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have been able to see this sour, painful, and lost look on your face!”Kourtney had already gone out far, but Walter was cemented onto the floor. The disappointment and sadness in his eyes were thick as he looked toward the direction where Kourtney had disappeared into.Charlotte went up to her father and grabbed his hand into hers. “Dad, how many times have I told you that this woman is beyond saving? Why can’t you just give up?”Walter’s attention had yet to return to reality from Kourtney. He just glanced at Charlotte in a trance.Charlotte shook her head.“Sigh! Why did you come to her wedding? Did you not know that she’s up to no good
After Walter had left, Annalita, Charlotte, Zachary, and Miranda left the hall as well.When they walked toward the parking lot, a growl that sounded like thunder erupted from their diagonal direction.“I knew it! I knew you must be cooking up something for showing up today! How dare you show that kind of disgusting video in front of my friends and family!”“Well, well, well, if it isn’t our groom of the day, Mr. Jefferson Connor,” Annalita said calmly when she saw Jefferson was coming to her. “I thought you’re the one who told Zach that you were glad he could come? Why are you unhappy now?”“You…” Jefferson’s face was contorted out of its shape from anger, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire. Annalita smiled triumphantly. “By the way, when Zach said to you that we prepared a generous gift for you, you said thank you to him. That video is the generous gift we prepared for you. Since you have received the gift, don’t you think that you still owe us a big thank you?” “You…
Three clips were shot in one afternoon, and all of them passed perfectly.Before leaving the studio, Dickson summoned her to the side and said earnestly. “Carlie, I didn’t call you here to criticize you. You’ve performed very well today, but your progression has been too fast...“Of course, great shooting progress is something to be praised. I hope that all the actors that I get could maintain the quality of their work while keeping up with the progression just like you too. However, I’m not sure why, but there’s always a trace of restlessness in my heart. It feels like you want to end the shooting process in a hurry in order to do something bad. Now tell me, are you acting a little abnormal because you have had too many accidents, and I’m feeling restless because of your abnormality?”Charlotte smiled. “Don’t worry, Mr. Barkley. There will not be any more surprises.”She had not much time left for herself.She would focus solely on filming and not provoke anyone with anything bef
A bad premonition swept Charlotte’s mind like a blizzard. “And then?”Daniel shook his head. “The results show that Second Master was poisoned.”Charlotte pushed the door open in fright and jumped out of the car abruptly.Daniel continued. “The initial symptom of a person who has been infected with this poison is an occasional blackout. As time goes by, he’ll faint more frequently. And about fifteen days later, he’ll have a cardiac arrest, and that’s it.”“Days!?” Charlotte was trembling with fright.“So, what are you doing here? Aren’t you a doctor? Now that the medical field is so advanced, and since you know that he got poisoned, why don’t you detoxify him?”“If Second Master could be detoxified, Lucas and I wouldn’t be sitting here, crying...” Daniel pulled his hair with both hands.“This is a rare poison. It is called ‘Two Weeks Wonders’ in the medical field. Only the doctor or chemist who configured the poison controls the content of each toxin, and only the person themsel
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a
“Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
“What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. “Milady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that she’s pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!“Therefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I don’t have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Master’s house.”Charlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrari’s door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotte’s car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. “Charlotte Simmon
“Don’t forget who I am. There’s nothing that I can’t find out as long as I want to know... Aaaah—“Baby, you‘re hurting me. Don’t be too greedy... Oh, slow down, I’m on the phone. Oh. Ow—” The man’s voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a woman’s moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. “Um... I can call you later if it’s inconvenient for you to speak now.”“There’s no need. It’s convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. I’ll get angry otherwise, understand?”“Hmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!”“Don’t keep us waiting!”The sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, “My little Simmons Princess, I’ve long heard people say that you’re still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but I’ve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay. You should
Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. “She’s my wife right now, so she’s your niece-in-law. You shouldn’t call her ‘that woman’ anymore.”The corner of the man’s lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. “Zach, even if she’s your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, who’s also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?”“Yes,” Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. “I owe her a wedding, and I don’t want them to interfere with my wedding.”The man opened his mou
