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
“Nothing...” Charlotte tried to let off a smile through the corners of her lips as usual, but her tears almost overflowed. “I just want to be with you, is that okay?”Zachary’s eyes were filled with joy, although he still looked as cold as an iceberg on the surface.“Yeah.”Charlotte approached and looked at him.His face was as perfect as a sculpture, and every detail seemed to have exhausted all its creator’s efforts. His eyes, which looked as cold as the surface of a frozen lake, were as vast as a whirlpool. This made everyone else not dare to stare directly at them. But just one glance was enough to captivate anyone’s soul, and they could never take their eyes off them anymore...In the past, she had not looked at him very frequently. But now, knowing that his life was coming to an end, she suddenly regretted that she had missed out so much time when she could have been looking at him attentively.A wave of hysterical sorrow overflowed the dams surrounding her heart and flood
Lorraine had arrived in front of Charlotte. “Zachary has been poisoned, so Jebediah and I came over to see him.”Charlotte’s tearful eyes were full of irony. “You’re truly well-informed. Who told you that? Luke or Daniel? They’re such busybodies. Since when does my husband’s matter have something to do with you? You’re just an insignificant person. Why would they waste their energy to tell you about that?”Lorraine’s eyes could not help but twitch. She calmly shook her head in the next second, however. “It’s neither of them.”Charlotte was a little confused.Lucas and Daniel wanted to keep the matter a secret from Zachary, so they should be tight-lipped. She did not know who they had told this secret to so that Lorraine could get a hold of the news so quickly.Lorraine continued. “I don’t need anyone to tell me. Actually, I know that Zachary has been poisoned earlier than any of you. Because I’m the person who arranged for someone to introduce the poison into his system.”‘What!?
Charlotte’s fingertips trembled.Lorraine was so excited that tears were lingering in her eyes. “I’ve made everything very clear for you. I’ll only give you two days. I don’t care what it is that you need to do. You will not only leave him, but you will also drive him to such a state that he will completely give up on you. Otherwise, you’ll just have to watch as he dies from the poison!“Oh, yes! I must remind you that if we were to get to that point, you’d be responsible for Zachary’s death because you didn’t save him while you could. He would suffer just like Nicholas, and you’d be the one who brought this upon him!” Lorraine had already slammed the door and left.What she’d said kept echoing in Charlotte’s ears like a curse.She stood in the hall for a long time, and it was already past midnight when she returned to the second floor. Lorraine and Jebediah had already left, the servants had also gotten off work, and Zachary had fallen asleep in his bedroom. Her footsteps were the
