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
“On the day of your wedding, the person who arranged for someone to spike your drink, who hired two men to wait for you in the restroom, and broadcast the video of Mr. Connor helping you with the detoxification on the big screen at the wedding... It was all me!“ Virginia, who was about to wet herself, confessed everything.Sotiria smiled with great satisfaction. “Anything else?”“And... Yes! And! I threw you into this lake with a car the other day, wanting to drown you. I was also the one who killed Carissa Fellowes, deprived you of your chastity, and led you into degeneracy eight years ago!“Tiria, you wanted me to confess all of these, so I’ve confessed. So please don’t shoot me, I don’t want to die, I beg you— Mmm! Mmmm!”Virginia could no longer beg for mercy as Sotiria had sealed her mouth firmly with tape.Virginia kept whimpering from behind her.However, Sotiria never looked at her again. She left her alone, being tied to the bridge, and got into the car without looking b
‘This...’Sotiria lowered his head in frustration.‘Okay! I admit this! I’m not legally illiterate. I also know that I was going against the law when I chose to force a confession out of Virginia, but I don’t regret it.‘Virginia is so cunning that she did everything seamlessly. Even the police couldn’t find any evidence to expose her through proper channels. So in order for me to deal with Virginia, I must fight fire with fire.‘I have absolutely no complaints if I am sentenced to imprisonment. I’ll even put this blame onto Virginia and continue to seek revenge against her after I’m released from prison.‘However, I won’t be as stupid as this time when the time comes again. I won’t allow the police to intervene again. Instead, after I get my hands on another recording of Virginia’s confession, I’ll post it directly onto the Internet and clear my name through the process...‘After that, I’ll personally send Virginia to hell without leaving a trace of evidence behind. Just like wh
Sotiria, who was very grateful to Garrison, walked to the side of the car, opened the car door, and plunged into the man’s arms, “Thanks, hubby!”“Hubby?” An indifferent tone escaped the man’s thin lips and pearl-white teeth. “Even if you want to take me in as your underground husband, shouldn’t you avoid PDA in front of the public?”Upon hearing this voice, a hum echoed in Sotiria’s mind. “Zachary!?”“Although I don’t mind you calling me by my name, I think the term ’husband’ sounds more cordial.” Zachary, who looked as regal as a king, gave off a hint of banter in the perfectly curved corners of his lips.A huge void appeared in Sotiria’s skull, and her mind turned blank for a split second.In the next second, the clear voice sounded in her ears again. “You can continue to embrace me like this... If you feel that this isn’t close enough for you, you can kiss me too.” Sotiria finally realized that she was still hugging Zachary at this moment. She hurriedly let go of him and sc
Faking her calmness, Sotiria turned around and walked toward the front door of the police station with a deliberate, steady pace. “From the “Book Of Love” that I read, it says that the more men a woman has experienced, the harder she is to tolerate loneliness.” Zachary’s voice wafted into her ears from her back.Sotiria felt as if she had fallen into an ice cavern and all her blood turned cold.“Are you making fun of me, Mr. Connor?”“I’m just stating a fact. We’re not living in a feudal society anymore, and both men and women have physiological drive. It’s the nature of humans, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of to admit it,” replied Zachary. He was standing as straight as a ramrod, and his deep brown eyes were bereft of any emotion.Sotiria’s lips quivered non-stop as her cheeks flared with color.“Even if you’re not making fun of me, I don’t think this is a topic that a man and a woman should talk about. Mr. Connor, maybe I was a loose woman in the past, but I’m no longer t
