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
Charlotte’s eyes reddened. She seemed completely nonchalant on the surface. “Gary is truly in love with me. He wouldn’t mind such a trivial matter. It’s no use sending that to him.”Unbeknownst to Charlotte, as Zachary had his back against her, a clear hint of pain flashed in his icy pupils.She didn’t know what he wanted to say. He opened his lips, and a sudden burning pain spread throughout his chest. He let out a heavy cough and could not speak anymore.The heavy cough immediately tugged at Charlotte’s heartstrings. She was suddenly overcome with an urge to abandon everything else and help him.However, before she could even take a step forward, she heard a shocked cry from the hall.“Zach, are you alright?”Only then did Charlotte realize Lorraine’s presence.She watched as Lorraine turned into a white streak, rushing to Zachary’s side.Charlotte did not turn around again. Instead, she rushed out of Zachary’s study.“Zach, what’s this red stuff on your lips? Ah! You’ve bee
More than a week later...This was a special day because Charlotte had finished filming her last scenes in the movie.Dickson reviewed her final scene as his heart filled with sentiment.“Carlie, if everything goes smoothly, your acting role in this film will be complete. I’ll contact you if we need to add any more scenes in the future. For now, you can just sit tight and wait for our post-production crew to complete all post-production work for the film and its magnificent release in theaters.”Charlotte heaved a long sigh of relief.She had been working very hard to finish the movie before her final confrontation with Lorraine. Her hard work had certainly paid off. She had finished the job ahead of schedule. “Even though we can’t really see the end result of this film, based on your performance, it’s guaranteed to be an epochal masterpiece. You’re going to be a huge star because of it. My career as a director will reach a whole new level because of this too. Carlie, I’ve made
“Those animals… What have they done to Cora?” Charlotte looked at Coraline in panic. Various discordant scenes flashed in Charlotte’s mind.She could feel Coraline’s hands trembling more than ever.However, she heard Rebecca’s reply. “They pushed her to the ground and stripped her. They wanted to rape her! Luckily, the security guards arrived on time to stop them. Any later, and they would have defiled Cora… Sigh!“They may not have gotten away with it, but Cora is an old-fashioned girl. She’s never dated. They didn’t just strip her, but they even left quite a few bloody scratches between her legs. By the time her father and I rushed to her clothing shop and saw her, she was staring into space, listlessly, just like this. She hasn’t said a word since… Those b*stards! B*stards! How could they have done such a thing to a young girl? This incident must have greatly traumatized Cora!”Charlotte patted Coraline’s shoulder. Her heart ached.“Why did those men do that to Cora?”“They’ve
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
