“You haven’t answered me! Why did you do that?”Garrison’s voice rang aloud from behind him.Zachary turned around and saw that Garrison was now holding Sotiria’s hand. The sight of it felt particularly glaring to him. He snorted. “Have I not made myself clear enough? I like your fiancée, so I’m going to pursue her.”Garrison was thoroughly enraged. His throat quivered as he gnashed his teeth.“I’m warning you, stay away from Tiria. Don’t destroy someone else’s relationship like a low-down third party.”“Oh?”Garrison’s eyes suddenly darkened in a terrifying manner.“Speaking of low-down third parties, I think it’s pretty exciting to be one, once in a while. You should know how it feels better than I do. After all, you’ve tried it before.”Garrison clearly caught the hatred in Zachary’s eyes and connected it to Zachary’s words. He now understood that Zachary was doing this out of revenge for being “cheated on”.Zachary walked down the bridge and never turned back.Sotiria sta
‘Besides, Sotiria may have lost her memories, but she and Zachary were once so… If Zachary found out the truth… No!’The thought of it filled Garrison with increasing fear. At that moment, he silently made a decision—he would wait until he and Sotiria were married in Rothesay, then he’d take her and leave this city, never to return!“Mm.”Sotiria’s eyes filled with tears of gratitude.‘See! Garrison is so nice to me. Garrison is the only man who truly loves me. I must be good to him. Zachary may be lauded as the noblest figure in Rothesay, but he’s actually stooped to seducing someone else’s fiancee just to have his revenge on him… The noblest figure in Rothesay? He’s clearly a jerk! If Zachary ever tries to seduce me again, I’ll give him a kick, the kind that other perverts deserve, and force him into a retreat!’Lucas saw Zachary emerge from the mist from a distance and hurried over to greet him with a grin on his face. “So how were those five men I hired to put on that show for
“I know.” Zachary smirked.“Zachary, you believe me?”Garrison’s handsome face flashed with joy. He did not think that Zachary would believe so easily.“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t hate me anymore, and there’s no need to exact revenge on me. Stay away from Tiria from now on.”However, Zachary shook his head. “No.”“What?” Garrison looked confused.The disdain in Zachary’s icy pupils grew even clearer when he turned around to look at Garrison. “Because I’m seducing Sotiria at her suggestion. She invited me to put on a show, to deliberately cause a misunderstanding with you.”‘What?’Garrison froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.Zachary couldn’t be bothered to look at him any longer. He picked up his long legs and walked forward.‘Heh… Garrison, what a joke!’That year Garrison had senselessly seduced his wife. Now, realizing that he had arrived to take revenge, Garrison was afraid and had actually come up with such a clumsy lie to deceive him!If Ga
She was clearly stunned. “What is the meaning of this, Mr. Connor?”“A display of my love…”The regal and perfect Zachary lowered his icy gaze ever so slightly. He gently curled the corners of his lips. He was so handsome that it was stunning and enticing.“I’ve said it before, I like you. I fell in love with you at first sight. This bouquet of roses represents my love for you. Take it, and you’ll be my lover from now on.”The tips of Sotiria’s fingers trembled.Not too long ago, Garrison had informed her of Zachary’s intentions on Rainbow Bridges. Now she had a perfectly good idea of his objectives in seducing her.‘But…’She knew that Zachary had no feelings for her and certainly hadn’t fallen in love with her at first sight. Yet why did she still feel as if she had been bewitched when she heard him make that hypocritical proclamation and saw that bouquet of charming fresh roses and his handsome face, which looked a thousand times more attractive than that bouquet? She felt a
Her heart stopped beating for a second, and in an instant, it began galloping wildly and threatening to jump from her chest.“Ngh…”Panicked, she tried to push him away. However, his arms were as strong as steel, trapping her tightly in his embrace so she couldn’t move at all.Even though Zachary was cold and taciturn, no woman could resist his charm. Initially, she was still struggling, but as he slowly deepened the kiss, she seemed to be pulled into a bottomless whirlpool. She felt that everything in reality did not matter anymore as she was enveloped in his breath…She closed her eyes.Like a person intoxicated by a beautiful dream, not only did she stop struggling, but she also hoped that the dream would continue. She couldn’t see that, at that moment, a hint of strange light flashed across Zachary’s pair of beautiful, bright eyes.There was only one reason why he’d forcibly kissed her.He wanted her to fall deeply for her.Initially, he had intended to only give her a li
“Are you acting dumb, Mr. Connor? Or are you deaf? Didn’t you hear my daughter calling me mommy?” Sotiria just felt ridiculous.Zachary’s gaze turned severe. “Are you sure you’re her biological mother?”“Hah!” Sotiria did not know whether she should be crying or laughing now.“What’s wrong, Mr. Connor? Not only did you attempt to seduce me, but now you’re going to extend your evil hands to touch my family? Yes! I’m her biological mother. Do you need me to show you my daughter’s birth certificate?” “That’s not necessary.”A hint of disappointment flashed across Zachary’s deep brown eyes. A second later, the disappointment was replaced by self-mockery. That girl had died four years ago.‘No matter how much this little girl looks like her, she’s only about three years old. This little girl cannot really be her daughter… Hah, unless a dead person can still have babies!’“Daddy!”The adorable little girl’s eyes suddenly shone brightly. She moved her little feet and dashed toward
Sotiria’s face got even hotter.Zachary had teased her like this on purpose!He sweet-talked her so well, but she was certain that he had not said this from the bottom of his heart. Besides, there was a good chance that he had learned this from a book just to seduce her.Even though she was well aware of that, she still could not help but feel her heart beat faster, as if a typhoon or a tsunami formed inside of her at every word he said and every expression that appeared on his face.For a split second, she even wanted to leave Garrison behind and go with him!Sure enough, the rumors were true.Mr. Connor of Rothesay was the ultimate marriage partner, as well as the ultimate nightmare of every girl. There was no woman in this world who could resist him…If she did not put a stop to this, she was afraid that she might give in to Zachary’s seduction. If that happened, then everything would be finished!Thus, she had to distance herself from him. After all, the only way to resis
“Yes, sir! I’ll go look right now!”Lucas immediately pulled his phone out and gave orders to the information department. Speaking of the kid, he remembered that four years ago, after Charlotte’s demise, Daniel had taken out Charlotte’s blood sample a few days before her divorce with Zachary to perform a full lab test.The result had shown that Charlotte had been pregnant at the time, and there was a good chance that Zachary was the father of the baby.However, he and Daniel had been keeping this secret from Zachary. After all, Charlotte’s death had broken Zachary’s heart, and they did not want to rub salt into his wound again. “Tiria, are you alright?” Garrison, who was tall and handsome, carried Naomi with one hand as he put his other hand lightly on Sotiria’s shoulder. It was only then that Sotiria withdrew her gaze from the direction Zachary had disappeared into and looked at Garrison.“Who is Carlie?”Garrison’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the name. He brought hi
