Zachary opened his pearl-white teeth and thin lips. “Shoot.”“Er, this is how it goes. Although Naomi has always addressed Garrison as her daddy, Garrison isn’t Naomi’s biological father. Four years ago, when Sotiria got into a car accident, she was already pregnant with Naomi.”Upon hearing what Lucas had said, a hint of warmth finally appeared in Zachary’s cold eyes. “Who’s her biological father?”“It’s impossible to find out about this!” Lucas shook his head. “Second Master, you should also know just how messy Sotiria’s private life was in the past. I’ve roughly gone through her profile. She had had sex with more than 1,200 men in just the two months before her car accident. That’s an average of more than 20 men per day. Ahem! Any of these men may be the one who impregnated her with Naomi. So if you want to figure it out, unless I get these men—”“That’s enough!”After listening to Lucas, the hint of warmth that had finally appeared in Zachary’s eyes cooled down and froze. At t
Back at Zachary’s house, Sotiria had already identified that the person who had ordered those men to hurt her was Zachary. However, there was still a trace of hope in her heart. She knew very well that it was a slim hope, but it was like a needle that had pierced deeply in her heart and that she could not ignore.She really hoped that it was not Zachary!Sotiria had been assaulted so brutally by the two men that she could still feel subtle pain in her body, head, and face now.‘Zachary! The person who told me that he likes me over and over again, the person who kept on calling me “Little Sweetheart”, the person who gave me 9,999 roses, and even kissed me twice!‘He actually arranged for two men to violently assault me to achieve his goal!?’Sotiria did not know the reason behind it.She clearly knew about Zachary’s intention in approaching her from the beginning, and she was also aware that Zachary had no feelings for her at all, but she could not get Zachary out of her mind.In
The stalwart and regal Zachary responded, “I’m your lover in the first place. What’s there to be misunderstood?”Boom! It was like a bomb had been detonated in Sotiria’s mind. She almost foamed at the mouth and passed out.“Get in the car. I have something to show you.” Zachary’s melodious baritone and his alluring breath brushed against her cheek.Sotiria, who tried hard to compose herself, sensed that the people around them had started to stare at them oddly. Being annoyed and ashamed, she gnashed her teeth and glared at Zachary’s back. “I won’t get into your car. Whatever it is that you want to show me, bring it to me. Otherwise, I won’t see it, and I’ll leave now.”Zachary raised his eyebrows mischievously. “So, do you want me to carry you into my car?”‘What!?’ The corners of Sotiria’s lips twitched.“My God! Did you hear that? This man said he wants to carry her. Isn’t her relationship with this man obvious? Why is she still trying to pretend to be reserved?”“Yes, hypoc
There was a tall and slender woman sitting at a dining table in this video. She was looking around. It seemed like she was expecting someone.Sotiria immediately recognized this woman at first glance because she was her best girlfriend, Renata.At the same time, Sotiria also recognized that the restaurant Renata was in was the “One Night in Rothesay” that Renata had invited her to lunch yesterday.At this time, the waiter placed a glass of drink beside Renata’s hand. “The apple juice that you ordered has arrived. Do you need any other drinks?”Renata waved her hand irritably, “There’s nothing that requires your attention here. Leave me alone unless I call for your service.”The waiter frowned and left sulkily.After the waiter left, Renata looked around and took a paper bag out of her handbag after making sure that there was no one around.In the next few seconds, she poured the contents of the paper bag into the glass of apple juice as quickly as she possibly could, stirred the
Sotiria, who only wanted to find Renata and get everything sorted out, hung up the call and was about to get out of the car.However, as soon as her fingertips touched the handle of the car door, Zachary’s large hand gripped her relatively tiny hand tightly.He looked as cold as an iceberg, but the temperature of his palm was extremely warm. She immediately withdrew her hand as if she was shocked by electricity, and her lips trembled. “Mr. Connor, I’ve told you everything that I should tell you. Please keep a proper distance between you and me. Otherwise...”“Otherwise, what will you do?” Zachary, who looked as handsome as a deity, let off a mischievous aura. “Scream out loud saying that I’ve harassed or assaulted you? So that you can get someone to come to your rescue?”Sotiria was rendered speechless. She could only stare embarrassedly and helplessly at the group of people, who were still talking about her outside the car.‘See! Zachary has completely ruined my reputation.‘Eve
Zachary, who was already sitting extremely close to Sotiria, moved his breathtakingly attractive face closer to her. The tip of his prominent nose was pressing against that of Sotiria’s nose, and his thin lips were less than an inch away from Sotiria’s. “In this world, only two individuals are allowed to slap me. As for the rest of the human population, I’ll make whoever dares to slap me contemplate every single life choice that they’ve made in their life.”Sotiria almost fainted.Zachary continued to speak unconcernedly in the next second. “So, I’ll give you another chance. Now, do you want me to send you there, or do you insist on getting out of the car?”Sotiria, who almost died from all the fear, widened her eyes and nodded mechanically. “I want you to send me there!”“Good.” A gleam of satisfaction flashed across Zachary’s frigid eyes.As she witnessed Zachary let go of her chin and open the door to get out of the car, Sotiria, who was still worried, pulled his cuff in a pani
“Tiria, what happened was...” Renata took some time to calm down before she regained her voice. “Don’t you dislike sour drinks? That glass of apple juice was too sour, so I added some sugar to it, yes! The bag of ingredients that I added to the apple juice contained white sugar!“Renata, who had finally found an excuse, held the tablet in one hand and Sotiria’s hand in her other hand excitedly. “Tiria, I don’t understand. I added some sugar for your sake. Shouldn’t you be thanking me? Why did you come to me so solemnly with Mr. Connor and said that you’re going to expose me? Tiria, I’m your best friend! Do you not believe me anymore? What are you trying to expose here?”Sotiria’s eyes were filled with desolation. “You’re still acting up even now. Mr. Connor tested the bag that you threw into the trash can. Do I have to fling the test results on your face in order for you to admit this willingly?!”Knowing that since all this had happened, it would make no sense for her to further de
Renata’s heart was filled with so much guilt that she was suffocating and could no longer explain herself.‘Yes! Sotiria was a b*tch before the car accident! I used to hate her so much that I wanted to choke her to death.‘However, ever since Sotiria lost her memories, she has been treating me really well. I have to admit that in the past four years or so, if Sotiria hadn’t been supporting me financially with the money that she saved up, it would have been impossible for me to maintain a normal life with the income that I have, let alone take good care of my father, buy a car, and own a house…‘Sotiria has contributed a lot to the blissful life I’m having now! Even though Sotiria deceived me and harmed me in the past, what Sotiria has done in the past four years was enough to repay me!‘However, I actually did such a bad thing to her!’At that moment, no one saw the strange look that flashed across Zachary’s gloomy, cold eyes.Sotiria Green!All the information that he had been
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
