There were only two seats in the best viewing area in his theater room. When Sotiria followed Zachary to the theater room, Henry was waiting there. He stifled a glance at Sotiria and said deferentially, “Mr. Connor, which movie would you like to watch today?”Zachary replied plainly, “The same one.”“Yes, sir,” Henry sighed inwardly. Even though he had tried his best to conceal his emotion, one was still able to notice the hint of sympathy in his gaze when he was looking at Zachary. Zachary would always come to the theater room alone for the past three years, watching the same movie.He knew that watching a movie was never Zachary’s intention of coming to the theater room. He was just using the movie as an object of reminiscence.Today was the first time Zachary brought a woman to the theater room. He thought there would be something different this time, but Zachary still wanted to watch the same movie unexpectedly. Sotiria was curious about the movie that Zachary requested. Ho
Sotiria quietly took ten deep breaths to force herself to calm down. Her head no longer had a splitting pain, but her brain felt as if it were poked by a needle, throbbινγ from time to time.At that moment, Sotiria was unaware that this was a precursor to regaining her memories. The next time this happened again, she would regain her memories. Soon after The First Sorceress Princess was released in cinemas, it received countless rewards…This movie was widely recognized by movie critics worldwide as “the most outstanding fantasy film in the past 20 years”. Allegra (Charlotte) was touted as a god-like female artist, the likes of which were so rare that they had never seen in a century.These awards were not like those given to movies with unrefined work peppered with irky storylines, which were bought by bribing judges. These were earned through pure, hard work.Sotiria may be very conflicted about Charlotte at the moment, but she soon immersed herself in the movie, just like she
Only then did Sotiria relax. Her lips continued to tremble.“What…”“Marry me,” said Zachary. His face was like a glacier.‘Huh?’ Sotiria’s thoughts wavered. Zachary lowered his dazzling, crystalline eyes, gazing at her not exceedingly pretty but rather delicate features. “Before you arrived, you said that you didn’t want to be ridiculed, that you wanted to clear your name. I know that it was Virginia who hurt you. Furthermore, Virginia’s the one who killed your mother and caused your fall from grace.”Sotiria was shocked.“How do you know all of this?”Zachary smiled secretively and didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “I even know that based on your individual strengths and IQ, your chances of exposing Virginia are pretty much zero. You’d only end up being locked in prison out of recklessness and stupidity, just like how you tried to force a confession from Virginia today.”‘What? I’m not as stupid as he says! Everything that’s happened today was just a simple mistake, oka
However, after that surge of emotion, Sotiria’s heart was filled with a bone-piercing chill. She swatted Zachary’s hand away with a strength that had come from nowhere.“You’re doing it again, Mr. Connor! You said these very same hypocritical words to me when you tried to approach me at the beginning. I’ve grown tired of listening to them. Don’t you think you should be a little more creative before using these words?”“This time, I’m being sincere.”He stared at her momentarily. The regal, kingly Zachary showed no signs of playfulness in his eyes.“I really do like you. That’s why I stopped you from leaving Rothesay, I don’t want you and Garrison to be intimate with each other, and I ran to save you the moment I heard that you were taken to the police station.”The tips of Sotiria’s fingers trembled.However, she refused to believe it. She shook her head absentmindedly.“Don’t lie to me, Zachary. I can sense your feelings for Charlotte. When I watched her movie with you, your ey
Sotiria suddenly felt an urge to ignore everything and act on impulse like Zachary. She wanted to break through the shackles of the world and tell him, loud and clear, that she liked him too. She wanted to tell him how happy his confession had made her, how moved she was…However, she couldn’t!She was now Garrison’s wife!Even though she never had any romantic feelings for Garrison, the latter had done a lot for her. If she hadn’t married Garrison, perhaps she would agree to Zachary’s proposal. But now, she couldn’t let him down just to make herself happy.“Zachary…”She murmured his name in a trembling voice as she took a step back at the same time and broke away from his embrace.She didn’t know how to face him, but she still tried her best to raise her head and look him in the eye.“I acknowledge your good intentions, but I’m sorry. I’ve sworn to be a good wife to him for the rest of my life. I cannot divorce him. Perhaps we could be together in another life.”Once she had
At Purple Jade Mansion...When the security guard saw the cab driving over, he knew that the passenger in the cab who was here to see the Green family wasn’t a rich person. Thus, he haughtily walked forward.“Who’s that in there? Get down and let me have a look.”Clack!The car door opened, and Sotiria got out of the car. The security guard immediately shrunk his neck from shock. “You again… What are you doing here?”Sotiria raised her lips arrogantly. “What? Have you forgotten how I kicked your little brother the last time? Are you going to stand in my way again?”The security guard stumbled backward in fright. His ugly face looked bitter as he said, “Sigh, your kick was certainly amazing, my dear. I wouldn’t dare stand in your way again. You get what you want. From now on, you can go in and out of the Green residence whenever you please. I won’t stand in your way again, even if your father fires me.”He then ran into the security room as soon as he said that.Sotiria chuckl
At that moment, the “kindly” facade in Virginia’s eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye.‘Sotiria! So, this little girl wants to challenge me? You’re still a greenhorn!’Sotiria had anticipated that Virginia would speak to Harvey as the villain who would file a suit first. She never hoped for Harvey to believe her, so she smiled nonchalantly, then spoke in a chilly, cold voice. “Don’t misunderstand me, Harvey. I’ve known that you’ve become senile long ago. You’re incapable of seeing the truth.”“You…”Harvey felt as if he could get a stroke from anger at any moment.Sotiria stared at him compliantly. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of chilliness and disdain. “You heard Virginia, she killed my mother. Remember this, one day, I’m going to expose her. You have a weak heart. I’m showing you this to provide you with some mental preparation. I don’t want you to die from a heart attack after finding out the truth and realizing that your beloved wife is a snake.”“You… You… You
“AAHH!”Sotiria let out a scream.However, she felt no pain on her head. Apparently, the man simply cut off a lock of her hair and released her, holding that lock of hair as he turned around and ran out the corridor.Sotiria saw the deranged, foolish look on the man’s face and thought that he was crazy. Thus, she didn’t pursue him. She straightened out her hair and walked toward the elevator.Meanwhile, a blue Lamborghini was parked not too far away, with Jebediah and Lorraine sitting inside.The man ran to the car and gave the lock of Sotiria’s hair he had cut off to Jebediah.“Mr. Valentine, you know very well that I’m an assassin. I’m either hired to kill my target or cripple them. I don’t understand. You’re paying me double for my assassination fee just to get a lock of hair from my target?”Jebediah calmly stared at the dark hair in his hands. His eyes were terrifyingly grim. “I paid you extra to keep your mouth shut. Remember, you’re not allowed to tell anyone else about
