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
Even if Charlotte did not have the slightest feelings for him, at the very least, he could still try to make her fall in love with him. However, the deeper her brotherly love for him, the more he could not cross this “affection” gap and become lovers with her. “Okay.” Charlotte nodded, her gaze serious and full of affection.“Bryson left me a large number of assets after he passed away. As long as I don’t spend it profligately, I can use it for the next 10 years. If something happens to me and I die, I will give all the assets to you…”“Carlie! You’re still so young. There’s no way you’re going to die sooner. How can you be a calamity howler and say something like that?” Zenios refuted, his pretty eyes filled with shock.Charlotte loved to joke. She tended to go out of line with her jokes sometimes, and he knew it.However, he could not stay calm anymore when she was joking with her own life.“Zenios, hear me out quietly!”Charlotte patted Zenios’s shoulder.“I’m not giving yo
Charlotte’s heart leaped into her throat. “What happened to Zachary? Could it be that he has not recovered from the poison yet?”Lucas scoffed.“Second Master has recovered from the ‘Two Weeks Wonders’. I’m talking about your poison! It’s your poison that’s killing him!”‘Huh!?’Charlotte was stunned. “What are you talking about? I don’t have any poison with me at all.”“From your head to your feet, your blood, your bones… there is poison flowing in every inch of your very being!” The lanky young man with a pretty face stared at Charlotte resentfully, while his shapely brows deeply frowned.“Poor Second Master. He loves you so much that even though you have revealed your true self in front of him, he still cannot get over you. He spent the day mooning over you. He cared neither for food nor drink and finally, he fell sick.”Charlotte’s body trembled greatly. “He’s sick? Then, how is he right now?” Zachary!He was so healthy and strong that she had never seen him sick once in
Janet said worriedly as she watched Charlotte walk away with the cup in her hand, “I know that something unpleasant happened between you and Mr. Connor. But today, Mr. Connor is in a special situation and needs a lot of care and attention, so I beg you on behalf of Mr. Connor. Whatever he says about you, try not to talk back to him and don’t hurt him any more. Just do your part and try to make him drink this medicine... I will leave him in your hands now, Madam.”A hint of sadness crossed Charlotte’s face.See!After what she had done to Zachary, everyone felt that she was bad. Even Mrs. Plain, who used to think Charlotte was very nice, was no exception. She even felt that she would come to hurt Zachary at this point in time!Charlotte was worried about Zachary, and she just wanted him to take the antipyretic right now. As such, she scaled up the stairs as fast as she could, came to Zachary’s study, and knocked at the door.“How many times have I told you to leave me alone!?”Zac
Charlotte’s fingertip quivered. “No! That’s not what I’m here for. You were sick because of me, and I would feel very bad if anything happened to you. Therefore, in order to put my own mind at ease, I’ve come to make sure you take your medicine.”“So, at the end of the day, you’re doing this for yourself…” Zachary sneered coldly.“Alright! I’ll give you a chance to fulfill your dream and make you feel at ease, provided that you feed me.”‘What!?’The tips of Charlotte’s lips twitched. She looked at the cup of medicine in her hand and then his seductive thin lips. “So… Open your mouth, and… Would you crouch a little lower?”“Hah.” A sarcastic grin was playing on the lips of the man who was as good-looking as a god. “I want you to feed me with your mouth.”‘Huh!?’Charlotte rolled her eyes back as if a bolt of lightning hit her, and she nearly passed out.Poor Zachary!He was so majestic, and given his nature, he should have thought she was dirty, so how could he have let he
Charlotte was so nervous that she did not notice that every muscle in Zachary’s body was pulled taut.‘D*mn it! What’s wrong with me? Why is it that although I know she’s a bad and indecent woman, the moment she’s on top of me, I still feel a surge of warmth as if the spring breeze is blowing through the garden in my stone-cold heart?’Looking at her lips that were getting closer and closer to him inch by inch, he did not feel disgusted or revolted. Instead, his heart was filled with so much anticipation and excitement that it was galloping fast like a horse running on the grass plain.The moment her lips fell on his, he suddenly had the illusion that they were back to the old days, where she was still his wife he doted on incomparably. He even wanted to hold her slender waist, confine her tightly in his arms, and kiss her all the more deeply. However, his fingers had just touched the dress at her waist when the last shred of his reasoning reminded him, and he forcefully withdrew
