“Tiria, I can’t believe this is true. Father, Auntie Virginia, and I have been living together for more than seven years. She has always been kind, benignant-looking, and acts as a great wife and mother. I can’t imagine that there’s a possibility that she’s not only the murderer of our mother but she’s also done so many vicious things to you.”Standing in front of the French windows, Marco stared right at Virginia, who was strolling in the yard with Harvey.Virginia was holding Harvey’s arm, supporting him cautiously. She looked amiable and kind when she was joking with Harvey. Ever since Virginia had moved into the Greens’ mansion, she would always put on such a wonderful image in front of Marco and his father.‘Who would’ve thought that she had such a vicious heart? I don’t know how regretful my father would be if he were to know the truth.’“Marc, this is precisely why I think that vicious viper Virginia is hiding everything close to her heart. Don’t worry about that anymore. Al
A hint of relief crossed Jordan’s bookish face.At first, she had not understood why Garrison was especially fond of Sotiria either, but after spending four years with Sotiria, the more she learned about her, the more she understood why. Before losing her memory, Sotiria—or perhaps she should call her Charlotte—had been the most wanted socialite in Rothesay.Jordan had come across many socialites, supermodels, and female celebrities in the past. Most of them were supercilious and conceited, but Charlotte was different. She was down to earth and she respected everyone who was good to her. Not only that, but when someone helped her, she would do her best to pay that person back.Jordan figured that this was the reason Zachary loved Charlotte. Both Zachary and Garrison were the same. What they loved was Charlotte’s soul. Jordan surmised that this was why Zachary could not let go of her even now that Charlotte had changed face and was no longer as ethereally beautiful as she used to
‘Hold on a second! Do I require a license to buy things from this place? Why have I never heard of the black market license before?’“I get it. This is your first time here, so you don’t have a black market license. In other words, you are not eligible to buy anything here.”The man picked up the two black coins and threw them back to Sotiria.“Alright, if you get it, then stop bothering me and get the hell out of my shop.”Sotiria knew there was nothing she could do anymore. She looked at the guns under the counter dejectedly, picked up the two black coins, and turned around.As soon as she spun around, she saw a man standing outside the shop.The man was wearing a pitch-black trench coat, a pair of black pants, and black leather shoes. He had a head of thick black hair and he was wearing a black mask that covered the area from his nose to his forehead.Right now, he was standing as stiff as a ramrod, staring at Sotiria with his pair of clear eyes.Sotiria did not know when he
Night King… It was the name that had shaken the entire Rothesay four years ago. She had heard that the black market in Rothesay had been a mess four years ago. It had been full of violence and bloodshed until a man who called himself “Night King” had shown up on a particular day four years ago and made a bold promise that he would unify the black market. Nobody knew where he had come from, and everyone had been laughing at him for his delusions. However, with his amazing strength, he had been able to unify the black market in just one month. Ever since then, Night King had become a figure that could be compared to Zachary.Everyone said that while Zachary was the emperor of Rothesay, Night King was his counterpart. He was the night emperor of Rothesay.It was just that Night King would always wear a black mask that covered half of his face whenever he went, so nobody had seen his true face before.The shop owner urged. “What are you waiting for, young lady? Come in and pick yo
Sotiria curled her lips up unnaturally as she said, “Nope. I don’t know her. It’s just that you’re not the first person who said I look a lot like her. So… Anyway, it doesn’t matter. It’s okay living in her shadow. I will get used to it eventually.”The man opened his thin lips, but he said nothing.Sotiria shrugged and said, “Goodbye, Night King.”She entered her car and drove away. As she was driving, she was still thinking about the name “Charlotte Simmons”.Charlotte!Just how perfect a woman was she to make both Zachary, the business emperor of Rothesay, and the dark emperor of the night fall in love with her?How good would it be if she was still alive?If she was still alive, Sotiria swore that she must go and meet her.Not long after Sotiria left the black market, Marco called her.She picked up the phone and said, “Marc, did you find the chance?”Marco pitched his voice low and said, “Yes. You told me on the phone to call you when Auntie Virginia went out. Just now,
Click!The door was pushed open, and Virginia was the first one to emerge from the car. She was fanning her pudgy face with a fan as she said, “Lizzy, what the hell were you doing when you’re driving just now? My heart nearly jumped out of my throat. It’s better to let Marc drive on the way back later.”Elizabeth then came out of the car. She peeked at Marco, who was still sitting on the passenger seat, and said halfheartedly, “Alright, alright.”Marco then came out of the car as well.Virginia walked up to him with a grin on her face and said, “You know what, Marc? Lizzy has been bending my ear with nothing but about you every day. I know how she feels about you. When she learned that you’re coming shopping with us, she’s so excited that she forgot how to drive a car. The next time you want to approach her, it is best to give her a heads-up. Don’t make an advance on her suddenly again.”Marco gave her a fake smile while Elizabeth lowered her head in embarrassment. Virginia pull
Sotiria sneered. “Get your *ss into the car.”“Okay! I’ll get in, I’ll get in... I’ll get my *ss into the car...” Virginia, who was stunned due to the fright, got into the car immediately.Sotiria’s eyebrows were tightly creased. Her gaze looked as murderous and cold as a razor blade. “Close the door.”“Yes!” Virginia did so immediately. She stared at the pistol in Sotiria’s hand with sweat gushing down her face as if it was raining in the car. “Tiria, listen to me. There must be a huge misunderstanding between you and me in order for you to do this to me. But I’m innocent! Otherwise, I would’ve been arrested long ago when you called the police and told them that I had harmed you, right? I swear, although I look down on you like your father does, I never thought of hurting you, I—”“Shut up!” Sotiria interrupted Virginia coldly and pursed her lips ironically. “I haven’t asked you to confess now, have I? Why are you in such a hurry?”Virginia was dumbfounded.Clank! Sotiria thre
At the Crescent Lake...Not long ago, Sotiria had nearly drowned in this lake because of Virginia’s scheme. She also knew that Virginia had drowned her mother, Carissa.Sotiria wanted to avenge her mother and herself by this lake today!There was a bridge that deviated from the road at the southwest corner of Crescent Lake. There were guardrails on the side of the bridge to prevent people from falling into the water. Because this section of the road was relatively remote, usually almost no one passed by that spot when night fell.This was exactly why Virginia had the guts to kill Carissa here.Sotiria drove directly to the bridge, locked Virginia in the car by herself, and got out of the car with the toolbox that she had prepared in advance.After a few minutes of work, Sotiria tied two ropes on the side rail of the bridge. She then opened the car door and pointed her gun at Virginia. “You, get out here!”Although Virginia felt that things were about to go south from now onwards
