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
