Zachary’s expression dimmed. “Zenios, you better watch your words.”“What’s the matter? You did such a thing, but you won’t allow me to talk about it?!”When he looked at Charlotte lying on the car seat and recalled the sight of Zachary hugging and kissing her, intense jealousy started burning within Zenios and he snapped out of control.“I clearly saw you secretly kissing Carlie while she was unconscious because of the drug. If I had arrived later, you would’ve done something perverted to her.”Zachary’s tightly-furrowed eyebrows relaxed slightly. Sure enough, he could not blame Zenios for losing his head.The sight of him and Charlotte hugging and kissing each other could easily cause a misunderstanding. Besides, he really had done this to Charlotte when she was unconscious, so Zenios had not wronged him...“I admit everything that I’ve done.” Zachary’s expression was indifferent, and his voice was cold.“However, you said that I’m a pervert, and that I won’t admit. Zenios, I’
“If you still won’t let go of her, I’ll take it personally!” Zachary’s voice was cold, and his gaze was terrifying. He looked like a tiger protecting its cub.Zenios placed Charlotte back onto the car seat immediately. As soon as he placed her down, Zachary grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the car abruptly.Zachary’s strength was so immense that Zenios lost his balance and fell butt-first under the London planes beside the driveway. He then gasped and rubbed his hurting arm.“Second Uncle, that was really cruel. Even though Carlie hasn’t chosen me, she is still our child’s mother. What’s wrong with me caring about her?”“I don’t mind anyone caring about her, but I’ll never allow any man except me to care about her excessively, and you’re no exception.” Zachary’s eyes were gloomy and freezing cold.“Zenios, brand what just happened into your brain because this is the last time it happens. If I see another attempt, don’t blame me for not treating you as my nephew.”The corner
As he watched Zenios go further and further away from them, Zachary was still very tense.He had always been a very cold and arrogant man deep down, and he had never been afraid of anyone since he was a kid. At that moment, however, he was inexplicably afraid that Zenios would succeed in snatching Charlotte away from him.Zenios was not inferior to him regardless of his appearance, body figure, or excellence. Besides, Zenios knew Charlotte more than three years earlier than him, and they even had a child now...“Second Master, that useless piece of sh*t, Victor Rutherford, is just another good-for-nothing. I only disclosed what I was going to do to torture him, and he already peed in his trousers before I even did any of those things that I mentioned. He even passed out after that. Let’s just wait for him to wake up, and we’ll see what I can do to make him feel like he’d rather die. I’ll make him regret what he’s done to Mrs. Simmons.” Lucas walked toward Zachary while talking.Zac
Charlotte jumped out of bed, ran into the living room regardless of the servant’s obstruction, looked in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, and almost stunned herself.‘Oh my God!’At present, her face looked like a ripened tomato due to the wounds. She could not even remember her original appearance at all.‘Okay! Don’t panic... Don’t panic! The doctor said that it’d recover and get back to how it was before. It’s just a matter of time!’Charlotte had really thought she was going to die due to Victor’s beating. Now that she had survived the beating, what else could she hope for?“Second master is truly brilliant. He said that milady should have woken up now and ordered me to come and get you. Sure enough, you’ve woken up exactly at this time, not even a minute later.” The voice of a young teenager came from the door.Charlotte looked away from the mirror anxiously. “Zachary... Why would he get you to come and get me...” She was very afraid that Zachary would see her awful look all of
Charlotte took a closer look.‘Aren’t these girls the very same ones who dropped by my art studio to buy an art piece?’“Second Master has obtained surveillance footage from the area around your studio. These girls tricked you into letting your guard down under the pretense of buying an art piece from you. They knocked you out when you weren’t looking and force-fed you with drugs. Please have a closer look, milady. Are these the ones?”Lucas reminded Charlotte as he followed closely behind her.Charlotte may not know Zachary enough to be able to read his emotions, but Lucas knew that he was fuming. The girls who had drugged Charlotte were destined for a tragic fate.Therefore, Charlotte needed to confirm their identities. It would be a disaster if they ended up hurting innocent people.Charlotte nodded firmly.“It’s them.”Charlotte was not a pushover. She would have found a way to find those girls, even if Zachary hadn’t done it for her.She would never forget their young, wi
“Thank you.”Zachary looked at her, concealing his emotions.Her face was as red as a tomato at this point. She was as ugly as one could be. However, Zachary felt that her smile was far more beautiful than the most gorgeous scenery in the world.“Well, milady, what would you like to do to them?” asked Lucas.Charlotte turned toward the two girls in the cage.“Don’t you have the surveillance footage from my art studio? Use the part in the footage in which they tricked me, hit me, and forced medicine down my throat, and send it to the teachers and principal of their school. Then call the police and let them handle them.”The girls wailed when they heard that, sobbing even more profusely than ever.Students at this age weren’t afraid of their parents discovering their misdeeds nor the consequences. Their greatest fear was their teachers and principal.Based on their vile level of mischief, their principal would certainly call them out during a school assembly, expel them, and have
Charlotte nodded.Lucas said enthusiastically, “Since your beating already crippled Victor, I had an epiphany. What would happen to a crippled man if I made him drink that liquid that was forced down your throat?”Charlotte’s eyes brimmed with curiosity, while a hint of disgust flashed across Zachary’s eyes.“So I thought… Why not use Victor as an experiment? I’ve locked him up in a quiet room. He ran around anxiously then passed out, foaming at the mouth. When he woke up, we found that he was reduced to a lunatic.”Charlotte pursed her lips but felt no sympathy.Perhaps it was a good thing for a societal scum like Victor to become a lunatic. He deserved it anyway.If Zachary hadn’t arrived on time after Charlotte had been drugged, that drug’s effects would have caused her to end up like Victor, even if he hadn’t beaten her to death.“I think that assh*le got away too easily. I’ve concocted 17 different types of torture, just for a man like him. I wanted to try them all out on h
Charlotte swallowed nervously. She took three deep breaths to find her voice.“H-hey… Don’t be mad. Luke said that you’d help me find the real culprit. I don’t want to send you on a wild goose chase before telling you the truth. Regardless, I guarantee you that it’s definitely not Bryson.”Her infatuation for Bryson didn’t just stem from his outstanding good looks. She was more attracted to his character.Actually, Bryson had been very good to her throughout their four years together. He had given in to her in every way and had never lied to her.The only time he had ever lied was because of Tiffany… That was the only time!Zachary’s face blackened to the shade of a cauldron’s bottom at some point. He glared at her icily and remained completely silent.“Hehe…” Charlotte forcibly curled the corners of her lips and stared at him with a forced smile. “I still haven’t thanked you. So… Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”Zachary had saved her life twice. He had saved her father
