Elizabeth nodded absentmindedly. “You’re afraid that she’ll come for us once she regains her memories.”“That’s right!”Virginia held Elizabeth’s hand.“That year, we schemed to get rid of that stumbling block, Carissa, so that I could marry your Uncle Harvey and we could live a life of luxury. However, since Carissa’s death, that little b*tch Sotiria has been suspecting our involvement in her mother’s death. She’s been watching us ever since our arrival in the Green Family’s home and causing us trouble. Once, she almost uncovered evidence of our involvement in Carissa’s murder. Have you forgotten?”“Of course not, mom!”Elizabeth’s entire body went cold when she remembered that soul-stirring experience. “That very day, seven years ago, we were whispering about how we managed to kill Carissa right here, just like today. To our surprise, Tiria had been hiding behind our backs, eavesdropping on us. She even recorded our conversation. Luckily, we caught her in time, took her phone
She had had the very same dream that had been haunting her for the past four years. However, there was a time when she had not had a clear view of the man’s face in her dreams. Ever since she had met Zachary, the face of the man in her dreams had turned into Zachary’s every time she had that dream.‘Zachary! It’s my wedding day. Why am I still dreaming of him?’“Miss Green, the bridal party arrived more than ten minutes ago to escort you. You’d better get ready for the wedding.”Jordan stood at the doorway as she spoke. She was Sotiria’s maid of honor.Previously, Sotiria had intended on having Renata be her maid of honor, but a few days ago, she had fallen out with her ex-best friend, so Garrison had asked his assistant, Jordan, to help out.“Oh, right.”Sotiria stretched her back and got out of bed.Yesterday, after hours of tedious work, the makeup artists had finally settled on a makeup style for Sotiria. They had already laid out all the makeup Sotiria would need. After
At that moment, Sotiria, who was supposed to respond to Garrison’s love with an “I love you”, could only look at him and feel incredibly touched but could not utter the three words.‘Okay! Although the current me still can’t say it out loud, and I’ve never said “I love you” to Garrison, I’ll definitely say it today.’According to the pre-arrangement, after Garrison put the wedding ring on her ring finger and shouted “I love you” at today’s wedding ceremony, she should also reply with another “I love you”.‘Even if I don’t love Garrison, I’ll have to say it by then. In any case, I’m now Garrison’s wife, and I mustn’t embarrass my husband!’“Tiria, let’s get in the car.” Garrison held Sotiria’s hand with one hand, carried Naomi in the other, and walked toward the luxurious wedding car.Jordan, who was following Sotiria, sighed silently.‘Sotiria Green! No, it should be Charlotte Simmons! She looks indeed beautiful today thanks to the exquisite makeup. However, her current face is f
“Uh, there is indeed something.” Lucas, who came to Zachary’s side, took a peek at him. “Garrison and Sotiria’s wedding ceremony will be held in Rothesay Pearl in less than an hour. I guess you’ll definitely attend the ceremony, so I’ve come to pick you up.”Zachary scoffed. “Did you leave your brain at home today?”“Huh!?” Lucas patted his forehead. “Second Master, I brought it with me. Why are you asking me this question?”Zachary’s thick and dark brows were slightly raised. “Because, if you brought your mind along, you’d know that I can’t attend their wedding just by using your brain for one second.”Zachary turned around and left after saying so.Sotiria Green!He had gotten out of control when he had been trying to seduce Sotiria back then, to the point where he had almost gotten it on with her. He had even thought about marrying her.But after discovering that she had an affair with Zenios, he only felt that he was a joke back then whenever he thought of that filthy, shame
Garrison asked the majestic bridal convoy to bring Sotiria and go around the central building of Rothesay three times as if he was showing off to the city that Sotiria was now his wife!Garrison had reserved the hall on Rothesay Pearl’s first floor, which was more than a million square feet. It was filled with decorations, lights, and honored guests.When Garrison appeared at the door with Sotiria, almost everyone stopped the clamor and shifted their gazes onto them.“Haha, Mr. Larson, congratulations!” A man in a glamorous suit and shoes walked up to Garrison immediately and held his hand enthusiastically. “I immediately rushed over here in my private jet after learning that your wedding had been brought forward. Look at you, Mr. Larson. You look so handsome and charming today.”The other person laughed. “Look at what you’ve just said. You should say that Mr. Larson looks more attractive than most celebrities today. Mr. Larson is already a handsome and charming man on a normal day
“Oh? You’re here on behalf of my father and sister?” Garrison sneered. “Do you think you’re worthy of them?”The woman gave off a trace of helplessness on her gorgeous face. “Gary, although you hate me for breaking up Ivan and your mother, don’t you forget that I’m Lory’s mother and your stepmother!”‘What!?’Sotiria was so shocked that she almost yelled.‘Not only does this woman have a curvy figure, but her face also looks bright and delicate. There isn’t even a trace of wrinkles. Although one has to give her heavy makeup some credit, most of that owes it to her excellent genes. I thought that she’s only 26 years old, but she actually claimed to be Garrison’s stepmother...‘So, how old is she?‘And Kourtney Kleinman! Why does this name pop up in my mind all of a sudden?’“Why do some people have no sense of shame?” Garrison’s unconcerned voice interrupted Sotiria’s thoughts. “Do remember this, I’ll always only have one mother, and my mother was so furious at you, a vixen who s
In the most conspicuous position of the hall, a small hut was made out of 100,000 roses of various colors, and a red carpet led directly to the front of the hut.Seeing Garrison walking onto the red carpet with Sotiria, the host of the wedding ceremony said impassionedly into the microphone, “Honored guests, I hereby announce that the wedding ceremony of Mr. Garrison Larson and Ms. Sotiria Green will begin now.”The declaration was followed by thunderous applause. The people who had been scattered all around the hall moved toward the hut like the tide.At that moment, Sotiria, who had been calm and composed, could not help but start to feel nervous.Garrison tightened his hand that was holding her slightly trembling left hand. “Relax, I’ll be by your side no matter what happens.”Naomi, who was holding her right hand, blinked at her with her large, crystal-like eyes. “Don’t be afraid, mommy. Daddy and I will protect you.”Sotiria smiled at Garrison and rubbed Naomi’s little head.
A round of applause erupted from the crowd.Then, the humorous host teased. “Ms. Green, when Mr. Larson told you that he loved you, his voice was so loud that he seemed to want the whole world to hear. It showed that he loved you from the bottom of his heart. On the other hand, your response, your voice was so weak that it made people feel that you don’t really love him. Do you all agree with me?”“Yes!” shouted someone. “Sotiria Green, we can’t feel your love for Mr. Larson!” The host hastily chimed in, “So we would like to hear you say “I love you” to Mr. Larson again, louder this time. Oh yeah, don’t forget to throw in his name, okay?”“Okay!”“Again, Sotiria Green!”“Yes, say you love him again! Or we will not let you have a peaceful wedding night tonight!”“Hahahaha!”Many people followed suit.Sotiria had attended other people’s weddings before, and she knew that she could only do as she was told when she encountered such a situation. As such, she took the microphone ha
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
