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
The weather was not good today, and the Rainbow Bridge was filled with thick fog. It felt like a layer of tears was overcasting the surface of one’s eyes.At present, Garrison was standing on the bridge to the east.He could feel that it was Charlotte as soon as he heard her footsteps. “Time flies, huh? We haven’t seen each other for 63 days. And here I am, waiting for you by myself for another 63 days.”“I’ve told you to stop coming already. You’re the one who insists on coming here every single day to give yourself a hard time. What can I do?” Accompanied by her clear and elegant voice, Charlotte gradually appeared in the dense fog.Garrison looked at her exquisite face, and his gaze betrayed how love-struck he was. “Carlie, you’re getting more and more attractive... Although I visualize your appearance in my head every day, the real you is always far more alluring and prepossessing than I imagined.”“Stop it!” Charlotte blushed due to Garrison’s stare. “We’re not here to talk a
Garrison knew that it was just his wishful thinking. In the past, when Charlotte had still been single, she had always been ignoring him and alienating him deliberately. Ever since Charlotte had gotten married to Zachary, it was even more impossible for her to provide him with such an opportunity.However, Charlotte had taken the initiative to meet him today and wanted to get a room with him even though she was already someone else’s wife! Although his reason reminded him not to condone her to make mistakes, his ability to refuse seemed to have been sealed away. As such, he could not tell her “no” the moment she made this request.‘Charlotte! My one and only goddess, my unattainable love!‘For more than six years, I’ve come to wait on the Rainbow Bridge every day, and I have to wait for ten years in order to realize my dream to marry her! How can I reject her!’About 15 minutes later, Charlotte took Garrison’s arm and entered a hotel suite with him.After more than an hour, she to
Charlotte’s heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, Her body trembled slightly, but no trace of emotion could be seen on her face. “Brat, haven’t I made myself clear? Leave me alone. It’s none of your business.”Charlotte flung Rufus’s hand away and continued walking.Rufus stared at her, his purple eyes filled with disappointment.“Oh yeah...” Charlotte, who recalled something all of a sudden, slightly turned her head. “I heard from Cora that Yanis Xander has been asking her about you more than once ever since she learned that you’ve returned to Rothesay. I think she must regret being so cruel to you five years ago. Since you’ve come back anyway, there’s nothing to lose if you were to meet her once before you leave.”A hint of pain flashed across Rufus’s disappointed eyes, but he raised his eyebrows frivolously in the next second. “Don’t worry about it. Take care of your own business first.”Charlotte shook her head, opened the door, and got into the car.“You might not k
Zachary’s gloomy eyes froze slightly while his voice sounded indifferent and clear. “I also heard that you went to a hotel with him and left with him about an hour later. “Charlotte deliberately turned her gaze to the side and lifted her face intentionally. “Yeah.”Zachary may be as majestic as a king, but the indifference on his well-defined face started crumbling. “Do explain to me, both of you...”Zachary’s voice froze abruptly as if a blizzard had just hit the room.That was because he saw the hickeys on Charlotte’s neck.In the past, he would leave such a masterpiece on Charlotte’s neck every time he got it on with her. He could not help but feel a burst of wicked satisfaction deep down every time he saw his masterpiece after that...However, his cold heart seemed to be shattered into pieces after seeing such trails at this moment.In front of him, there seemed to be images of Garrison’s lips dancing all over her skin, lighting it on fire.As a person who always kept his
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
