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
“Is this the reason behind your affair with Garrison?” Zachary, who looked as regal as a king, was still able to maintain his last bit of dignity even under such circumstances.Charlotte had burned all the bridges behind her, so she could only nod forcefully and utter her pre-arranged lines ruthlessly. “Yes! I love him, and I can’t help but want to be with him. This isn’t my first time dating him behind your back already.”Zachary’s thick and dark brows were restrained.He only felt that Charlotte seemed to have mercilessly torn his heart into two halves. Even though he was tough and strong, all the suffering that he was currently experiencing felt so gut-wrenching that he could not make a sound for a long time.After calming down for a few seconds, he unconcernedly tried his best to open his mouth. “In this case, I’ll deprive the both of you of any opportunity to do so again!”‘What? I’ve already spoken to this extent, so shouldn’t he think that I’m a filthy woman and chase me ou
His hand trembled as he tightened his grip, causing her to cry out in agony.“Ugh…”Charlotte could feel Zachary’s hand trembling even more than ever. Then, he stopped strangling her and forced his hand away, slowly releasing his grip.“Why… didn’t you just kill me?” She stared at him in shock.She looked at him as he stood in front of her.His throat quivered, and his eyes were bloodshot. Even his breath seemed as hot as flames. However, he simply stared at her, with pain in his eyes, unable to bring himself to hurt her…Zachary’s face was grim. His thin lips and white teeth spoke in an icy tone. “I once promised myself that I would be a doting husband to my wife for the rest of my life. That I would never blame you, no matter your mistakes. I would only blame myself for failing to win your heart.”He turned around, casting her a seemingly indifferent glance, and turned to leave again.However, at that moment, his indifferent facade could not conceal the disappointment in his
