She had no idea which outcome Zachary intended to fulfill…Was he going to destroy her family?Or was he going to fulfill her “happiness”?However, she was too afraid to ask!Everything she had done was to push his feelings for her into an abyss, to burn them into nothingness.Now, as her goal was close to fruition, she had lost the courage to face the consequences…“I’ll see you in court tomorrow, 09:00 a.m. Bring all relevant documents.”Zachary forced himself to his feet as he said this and shakily made his way to this bedroom.Charlotte, who had been trying her best to remain calm, burst into tears once again.“Does that mean you’re agreeing to the divorce?”Zachary stiffened. He slammed the door shut and did not turn around again.“Get out!”Charlotte stared at the trembling door. She went into a slight daze before suddenly feeling a wave of agony as if needles were piercing through her heart. She nearly lost control and spat out blood like Zachary.Lucas’s heart was
“You took your important possessions when you decided to divorce Second Master and left. This time, are you that eager to meet with Garrison? That you don’t even want your prized possessions?”Charlotte only realized that Lucas had already arrived behind her when she heard his voice.“I don’t want them anymore!”She turned around. Even though she had just walked out the Divine Sanctuary District’s gates not too long ago, the blurry view of the villa in the midst of the pouring rain made it seem out of reach.“Zachary probably hates me now. He can throw or burn my things if he likes. Consider them a means for him to release his anger.”Lucas scoffed. “How very considerate of you!”Charlotte hung her head guiltily. “Have you seen him since he’s locked himself in the room? Is he alright?”“Hah, is he alright? Are you actually concerned for his well-being? Or are you just asking a random question?” Lucas’s smile filled with even more disdain.Charlotte was silenced.‘Yes! It’s bad
Just as he turned his back on Charlotte, tears brimmed in his eyes.‘Charlotte Simmons! I used to be so fond of her. I really wished that she could be with Second Master for the rest of her life and that she could give an outwardly cold, arrogant, and strong man, who was deeply, incomparably lonely, like Second Master, some warmth. But in the end, she became the person who hurt Second Master most of all!’“Stop!”Charlotte looked at the drenched man through the pouring rain.“I’m not going to drive your car. Get in. Go back the same way you came.”Lucas stopped. A hint of confusion gleamed in his teary eyes.Charlotte lifted her head up to the sky. “This rain arrived just in time. It allows space for one to think things over in a calm manner. I’m in great need of thinking, most of all. So I’m walking home.”She picked up her heels and continued ahead before Lucas could respond.Lucas refused to show his sadness to her. He waited until she was far away before slowly turning arou
It was a great day.There were plenty of newlyweds lined up to get married at the courthouse. The department of divorce was empty.Thus, when Charlotte arrived in the department, she naturally drew a lot of attention.“Eh? This young lady looks really familiar. I think I’ve seen her before.” One man’s eyes lit up.One girl, who was holding his hand, punched his thigh.“Yeah, right. You’re just ogling her because she’s pretty. How about we don’t get married instead? She’s here to get a divorce. You can marry her on the spot once she’s done with her divorce!”“Well… It’s just what I want. But… she’s so pretty, why would she ever like me? Ow! Hailey, stop hitting me. It hurts! Wait! I remember now. Isn’t she the female lead of The First Sorceress Princess?”“Ah? Charlotte Simmons?”The woman rubbed her eyes.“Oh my God! I think it really is her! What’s going on? Is she here for a divorce? I thought it was mentioned on the Internet that she’s not married?”“Pfft! Don’t celebritie
Everyone stared at her with various weird looks in their eyes.However, she did not notice them at all. She simply walked mechanically out of the hall. Her eyes stared at her picture with Zachary, along with her marriage certificate.Her marriage with Zachary had happened nine months ago.However, why did it feel as if it had only happened yesterday? Why did every part of it seem so clear in her mind?She clearly remembered that Zachary had been in a bad mood that day because he had lost his bet with her and was forced to marry her. She remembered how black and sulky his face had been that day, yet he had still been so handsome and perfect that when she snuck a peek at him from his side, she was instantly rendered breathless… “Is that your divorce certificate you’re holding?”When that familiar voice rang aloud from in front of her, Charlotte, who was currently preoccupied, finally realized that Annalita had appeared in front of her.She quickly folded her marriage certificate
As expected, the Lamborghini’s left window winded down as soon as Charlotte arrived across the street, revealing Lorraine’s beautiful face before her eyes.“You really are a great actress, Charlotte Simmons. That little play you did with my brother was riveting. I would’ve believed it if I weren’t aware of the truth.”Charlotte raised her brows in a cold and distant manner. She threw the divorce certificate at Lorraine’s face. “Not only have Zachary and I severed ties, but everyone by his side who’s ever been kind to me believes that I’m a cruel snake too. You’ve gotten your wish! Aren’t you going to give Zachary the antidote now?”“Don’t worry. I care about him more than you do. I will have someone secretly administer an antidote, just like how I poisoned him…”Despite the burning pain from being hit on half her face, Lorraine grinned widely when she saw the divorce certificate.“Zach was cruel to me because he was once obsessed with you. Now that you’ve hurt him, he’ll slowly un
“Zachary!”“Nope.” The man shook his head. Charlotte immediately understood that this man was Jebediah. The joy in her eyes instantly disappeared like clouds in the sky and turned to disdain. “Don’t you know how to walk, Jebediah? Are you blind?”Jebediah was not annoyed at all. Instead, he looked at Charlotte with a kind of gentleness and calm, unlike ever before.“I used to think that you were a scheming b*tch. I thought that you only married Zach because you were attracted to his wealth and position. Your willingness to put yourself through such huge grief just to save him has allowed me to understand that I was wrong about you. You really do love Zachary.”“Hah!” Charlotte scoffed. “So? Are you going to let your conscience take over and tell Zachary everything Lorraine has done and give my true love for Zachary your blessing?”The handsome, god-like Jebediah’s icy pupils displayed a hint of guilt.“I just wanted to say I’m sorry.”“‘Sorry’? Interesting. Are these the tears
The man hurriedly slipped into his Ferrari when he saw Charlotte driving toward him. He hit the accelerator as soon as she arrived near him and sped off.Charlotte stared at the vehicle, which had turned into a red streak, dazedly.“Who was that man?”Mr. Gold couldn’t tell Charlotte the truth, so he tried his best to put on a calm facade. “He’s an old friend of mine. He was just here for a chat. You don’t know him.”‘Oh?’Charlotte may not have seen the man’s face, but he was probably a young man based on his attire, figure, and hairstyle. Mr. Gold was a 60-year-old man, yet he actually had an old friend, who was at such a young age?However, Charlotte didn’t like poking into other people’s personal matters. Seeing as Mr. Gold did not want to explain, she would not ask.Despite her horrible mood, Charlotte returned to Virtual World to continue filming that afternoon.Seriously concentrating on her role had allowed her to forget Zachary, temporarily.However, as soon as she st
