last update Last Updated: 2021-05-12 19:30:00
After listening to what Zenios had explained in his trembling voice, Charlotte was in a trance, and her mind went blank.

‘Zenios! Ten months ago! That man!’

Even today, she would still dream about what had happened that night, scream, and wake up in the middle of the night drenched in cold sweat.

That terrifying man had turned out to be Zenios, who had been caring for her like her own younger brother for the past three years?!

The Zenios that she’d slept with that night had been completely different from the Zenios that she knew! His attitude that night had been as cold as the devil’s attitude, and what she had experienced had made her feel like it was Zachary.

However, Zenios had been drunk that night...

“Carlie, my goddess, you’re my life. I’ve been waiting for this day to come in my dreams, and my dreams have come true!” Zenios stood up and hugged Charlotte excitedly.

“I love you. I swear, I’ll be a good husband to you and a great father to our child. I’ll stay by your side forever

    ‘Who promised to kiss him passionately or do so with her back against the wall?!’ Charlotte felt like she was staring doomsday in the face.At the moment, Zachary’s eyes were as gloomy as a black hole, and they looked like they could devour anything.Zenios, who was dazzled by joy, did not even notice the change in Zachary’s expression at all and continued to speak with a grin. “Second Uncle, stop ruining my day already. You don’t even have to take what you left in my house with you. I’ll deliver it to you personally some other day. My fiancée and I are so in love right now that... You should know what comes next…“He winked at Zachary, dragged him along, and walked him to the door.No matter how hard Zenios tried to haul Zachary, he just would not budge. He looked as if he had been nailed to the ground. Cold syllables then escaped his mouth from between his teeth and lips.“So, didn’t she tell you that she’s already married?”“What!” Zenios did not understand why Zachary had bee

    Zachary finally released Charlotte after at least a minute. Charlotte felt as if she had been woken up from a dream.Zachary’s kiss had been really forceful. She stared at Zachary in shock. “I don’t understand… Why? Zachary, what is the meaning of…”Zachary silenced her with another kiss.He was a cold and lofty man, yet his kiss was like a blazing wildfire threatening to burn Charlotte into ashes. She lost and surrendered to him once again!Zenios stood in place, lost in a daze. However, he felt as if a large, empty hole had appeared in his heart, as if he were standing at the brink of an abyss.He was acting like an idiot, quietly watching the woman he loved making out with another man one step away from him! It took him a while before he could catch his breath. He had endured for three years. Three years of watching her relationship with Bryson and seeing them being affectionate with one another. Once he had discovered that the child she had given birth to was his, he had

    ‘Charlotte is his wife. It wouldn’t be out of line if he did anything extreme to her, let alone if he kissed her…’“You’d never have been convinced if I hadn’t done it.” Zachary’s lips were now a shade of blood-red thanks to his impassioned encounter with Charlotte. It looked as if he was wearing lipstick, yet it did not make him look feminine. In fact, it gave him a naturally flirtatious air that was profoundly affecting.He gently patted Zenios’ shoulders.“Some people are not meant to be with you. It’s not that you didn’t work hard enough—fate has determined that she is not meant for you. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Let go and our lives will be better for it.”Zenios stared at Charlotte in a daze, his blue eyes a mixture of love and disappointment.Charlotte stared at Zachary, her thoughts a mystery.Zachary couldn’t be bothered to look at Charlotte anymore. He quietly walked toward the door and kept his gaze ahead as he said, “If you plan on coming home, follow me.”In ot

    The devastatingly handsome man stood against the glow of the setting sun, its warm light illuminating his elegant figure. Despite their current situation, Charlotte was dazzled by the sight of him.She quickly snapped back to reality. “I’ve always treated Zenios like a brother. That accident was too sudden. I didn’t tell him about us because I didn’t want to rile him up. I was trying to come up with a tactful way of explaining this to him before you arrived.”Zachary smirked. “So the most beautiful woman in Rothesay is really that hardcore. She’d even sleep with her own brother and have his child!”The corners of Charlotte’s lips stiffened.The child she’d had was Zenios’ child. She had not expected this outcome, and even now, she simply couldn’t accept it. “I don’t care how promiscuous you used to be or how absurd you’ve been. I’m going to let bygones be bygones. However, from now on, you are required to be faithful…” His magnetic, aristocratic tone against the summer breeze

    Zachary sat in the car. His icy pupils stared at Charlotte, who was in the car on the right.His car windows were tinted, so the passengers in the car could see everything out of the window easily, but anyone outside the vehicle could not see inside the car. Therefore, Charlotte was completely unaware that he was watching her.Last night, he had thought that he had fallen sick. After getting examined by Dr. Stewart, he had been told that he wasn’t sick at all. He was just exhausted. He simply needed to drink more fluids and get some rest. However, when he had kicked Zenios’ door open, seen Zenios putting that ring on her finger, and watched her not object to it (in fact, she had looked perfectly compliant), he had felt like there was a large, gaping hole in his heart. It was a frenzied, depressing feeling, even stronger than how he had felt last night.This feeling was magnified when he remembered that she had given birth to Zenios’ child.This was not a symptom that could go awa

    His Second Uncle was a quick, decisive man. If he had zero intention of marrying her, he would never have given Charlotte the time of the day. That meant that back when his Second Uncle had agreed to Charlotte’s marriage bet, deep down, he’d wanted to marry her.Therefore, his Second Uncle was keeping a portion of the truth from him. There were plenty of highly eligible women who were eager to marry him. He must have some sort of secret agenda for marrying Charlotte of all people.‘I will uncover his little scheme!’…Charlotte had returned to the Divine Sanctuary District. It had been more than an hour. She could still feel that blazing heat on her lips and teeth. She could pretty much smell traces of Zachary’s scent. His kiss seemed to have carved itself into her soul.‘Zachary Connor! Why am I always thinking of him?’“You’re back, Mr. Connor.” A servant’s reverent voice was heard from downstairs.Then, an indifferent yet luxurious voice replied, “Mm.”Charlotte’s heartb

    Lucas talked as he walked toward Zachary. "Second Master, you believe that the thing between you and that girl happened in the hotel because you woke up at the hotel the next morning. However, after my comprehensive investigation, I found that this is not the case at all. It seems that someone moved you to the hotel after you wrapped up with the girl somewhere else.” After Zachary heard Lucas’ report, a hint of surprise flashed across his usually calm and collected eyes. “Apparently, it was a well-planned conspiracy. The mastermind behind it did not want you to find the girl. The surveillance videos in the hotel that night were erased, so there’s no way we can find out who sent you to the hotel for the time being. However, one thing we can be sure of is that the piece of emerald locket you clutched in your hand was indeed ripped from the girl.” Lucas continued to report his findings as Zachary’s expression turned even grimmer with every passing second.The night he had gotten in

    Michael Harper was the biological brother of Bryson Harper. Even though people always said Michael was the spitting image of his brother, his ability was far more lackluster compared to his brother’s. Bryson came from a humble background, yet he was a multimillionaire right now, unlike Michael, whose every business attempt had failed. Tiffany had not imagined in her wildest dreams that he, the loser she’d snickered at, would find out everything she had done. “What? Why aren’t you saying something? Is it because I have revealed all your dirty tricks, so you have nothing to say now?” Michael grabbed Tiffany’s slender arm as he snarled, “You evil, dirty little b*tch! Come with me now. You’re going to confess everything you did to my brother!” Then, he began dragging Tiffany toward the entrance.“Let go of me, Michael!“Let go of me now!“If you don’t let go of me right now, I’ll call your brother and tell him that you’re raping me!” Michael suddenly stopped in his tracks.

    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.

    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
