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
Sotiria flung Renata’s hands away coldly. “Since you already know the effect of the drug, then I want to see if you’ll be able to resist it as I did after you’ve drunk it!”Renata knew that since things had gotten this far and that she had disappointed Sotiria to an extent where her heart was freezing cold, she could no longer win back Sotiria’s heart no matter what she said. She gave off a low groan and slumped on the floor like a puddle of mud.Sotiria never took another glance at her again. She turned her back at her, and clear tears could be seen looming in her eyes.‘Look, Sotiria! This is the good girlfriend to whom you bared your souls!‘Renata knew the effect of the drug, but she didn’t even hesitate when she spiked your drink and pushed you into the dark abyss with her bare hands.‘She only realized that the method is very cruel now that you’re planning to repay her in the same way!’At this time, a knock on the door sounded, and Sotiria opened the door herself.Two rag
Sotiria removed the plastic cover on the paper cup without hesitation and poured the full cup of apple juice into Renata’s mouth. Just then, an ugly man pinched Renata’s nose. Unable to breathe, she swallowed the apple juice. Thud!Sotiria tossed the empty fruit juice cup on the floor, turned around, and left, refusing to look at Renata any more.It had been four years. She had been living frugally. She wouldn’t even give Naomi clothes and toys that were too expensive… And it was all to save up money to help Renata.However, at the end of the day, she had been helping a venomous snake!This snake had turned around and given her a deadly bite.Who knew what those two men would have done to her if she hadn’t struggled profusely yesterday. If Zachary had arrived one second later, that terrible drug would have been pumped into her system, and she would have been reduced to a slave to drugs by now…That way, Naomi’s life would have been no different from having no mother at all!Na
Sotiria felt as if someone were strangling her throat. She had no idea how she had managed to answer.“No! It’s not true! You’re lying. You’re just trying to convince me that your actions against me were perfectly justified. That’s why you’ve deliberately concocted this lie to deceive me.”“Oh, really?”Renata turned around and looked at the two ugly men next to her. Renata’s smile was bitter and filled with disappointment.“You’ve already given me that drink. In just a few minutes, I’m going to become a toy for these two wonderful men, just like you wanted. What’s the use in concocting a lie to deceive you?”Sotiria had no response.However, she refused to give up.She had heard a few rumors over the past four years, but Garrison had told her that she was a good woman who was both pure and flawless inside and out. She had always believed that she wasn’t as filthy as everyone said.However, she had recently begun to be acquainted with her filthy past. It was enough to fill her
Clink!Sotiria tossed the plastic bottle with blue liquid onto the floor. Zachary had given this to her while they were in the car.Renata’s laughter stopped abruptly from extreme shock. Her gaze upon Sotiria changed from disdain to confusion.The two ugly men were dumbfounded from shock. When they saw Sotiria turning around and leaving, the shorter man said, “Miss Green, I thought you wanted us to have fun with her? Why did you give her the antidote? What are we supposed to do now?”“Let her go. Go back to wherever you came from.”Sotiria’s gaze was calm and indifferent. She walked toward the door without turning back.“Well…”The two ugly men were reluctant, but Zachary had instructed them to do whatever Sotiria said. As such, they exchanged looks and released Renata, then sadly walked out the door.Renata had lost all of her strength at this point. Without the support from the two men, she crumpled and knelt on the ground. She no longer cared about giving a good image. She w
Sotiria stopped and stared absentmindedly at Zachary’s devastatingly handsome face.“How much do you love Charlotte Simmons?”Zachary felt as if a knife had sliced through his heart when he heard that name. However, he was used to concealing his feelings, so he simply frowned.“How is that related to our relationship?”“It is.”Every time Zachary surveyed her with his vast yet cold eyes, Sotiria couldn’t help feeling her heart pounding against her chest. She had to force herself to steady her breathing in order to avoid looking too nervous.“I may not know the details of the grudge between you and Garrison, but I know that your vengeance against him stems from Charlotte Simmons. You’re the noblest figure in Rothesay. Celebrities and starlets are lining up to give themselves to you, and you’ve ignored all of them. Yet you’ve approached me just to have vengeance against Garrison. You’ve hugged me, kissed me, and you’ve even pushed me on the sofa and… Cough!”Sotiria’s face flared
Sotiria slowed down but did not turn around to look at him.“We had an agreement. I’d let you take me to Rena, and you’d let go of the fact that Garrison punched you in the face and Naomi bit your leg. We’re even now. From now on, my business is no longer your concern, Mr. Connor.”Zachary, as handsome as a god, squinted his eyes.“You’re not going to find Melina.”His voice was calm and steady, yet it sounded like a sudden clap of thunder in Sotiria’s ears. She immediately froze in place.‘Yes! It was Melina who instructed Renata to put drugs in my apple juice and arranged for those two men to humiliate and destroy me! I may have spared Renata, but I am not sparing Melina. I’m going to make Melina pay!’Next, she was going to have her vengeance on Melina!However, she had not mentioned any of this to Zachary, yet he had already figured it out!“How did you know that? And…” Sotiria calmed herself for a while before finding her voice again. “Why can’t I find her?”“Because she’
Lucas glanced at Zachary. “Er… It’s like this. Melina is currently detained in Second Master’s home. Second Master has instructed me to make a call and have someone force feed that solution once I see you and him arriving at his car. So I made the call about a minute ago.”Sotiria was both shocked and confused. “So you’re saying that Melina has already consumed that drink, correct?”“That’s right!” Lucas nodded complacently. “So you should probably understand what those two ugly men are doing at Second Master’s home by now.”‘Yes!’Sotiria would have to be an idiot if she still couldn’t understand at this point!“Second Master has made accurate calculations. The effects of that solution on a human will only start working in eleven minutes after consumption. Given my superb driving skills, we will only need fifteen minutes to get from here to Second Master’s house. If we run through all red lights, nine minutes should be enough.”Lucas showed Sotiria his watch.“So get in the car
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
