All Chapters of The CEO's Addiction To Love: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

At Prestige Residence, in Annalita’s extremely luxe mansion...Zachary was currently tied to a stake in the courtyard. Annalita, Miranda, and 12 members from the Valentine and Connor families stood around Zachary in the shape of an arc. A team of bodyguards dressed in black stood behind them. The austere atmosphere was stifling.The host for the event was the oldest living member of the Connor family, Richard Connor—Zachary’s oldest paternal uncle. His heart ached as he stared at the bloodied Zachary.“Zach, we’re all family here. You, of all people, should be aware of how harsh our family rules can be. If you refuse to yield, none of us can protect you. Listen to me, let’s have a compromise—break it off with that filthy Simmons woman, and we’ll let you go.”Zachary remained silent. Only the corners of his bloody lips curved arrogantly.“Come on, Zachary! Just nod your head!”Zachary’s third uncle, Theodore Connor, was agonized and agitated too.“The Simmons girl isn’t a respect

“Hmph! Look at me! Why am I wasting my time with an arrogant little girl? You can leave or stay if you want. That has nothing to do with me. My only concern lies with enacting the family rules.”Richard turned away from Charlotte, raised his whip, and prepared to hit Zachary again.“If you hit him, you’re dead.” Charlotte raised her voice.“What did you say?” Richard trembled with rage.“I think you’re getting ahead of yourself, girl!”“Am I?”Charlotte smirked.She pulled a hand grenade out of her pocket, gathered her courage, and tossed it to a distance.The grenade landed beneath a London plane tree, ten meters away. Then, it exploded, creating a large hole in the ground. The tree immediately burst into flames.“Argh…”A coward among the group squealed like a pig.“Mom!” Miranda screamed and grabbed Annalita’s arm.The corners of Annalita’s lips instinctively curved into a very subtle smile.She didn’t know what Charlotte had up her sleeve, but at that moment, she had a

“Mom!”Miranda couldn’t believe her ears.“Did the fireworks blow your wits out of your brain? Charlotte Simmons is the daughter of that old tramp, Kourtney Kleinman. She’s the little tramp whom you’ve been trying so hard to remove from our home, and you’re calling her your daughter-in-law?”Annalita shot Miranda a glare. “Mimi, I’ve taught you from a young age never to talk about someone behind their back. Why are you bad-mouthing her over and over again?”“Mom! What’s gotten into you? Have you forgotten? A few days ago, when you found out about her marriage to Zach, you ground your teeth and said that you would make her suffer, just like Lorraine, so that she’d be beaten into a retreat—”“Enough! Enough!”Annalita cut Miranda off.“I’m itching to find out. What are you waiting for? Bring me my present.”Miranda was helpless. She had no choice but to comply with Annalita’s request.A few minutes later, Miranda brought the exquisite gift to Annalita.“Open it.” Annalita hasti

Charlotte sat down by the bed, holding the bottle in one hand and a cotton swab in the other. She stared fixedly at the area where she was going to apply the ointment for Zachary. Her heart was pounding like an insistent heavy drumming of rain beating upon a windowpane, and her hands shook intensely as if she was sieving flour.“Are you going to help me with the application or not?” Zachary’s melodious and arrogant voice sounded all of a sudden.“Uh, yeah... Yeah...” Charlotte’s lips widened and gave off a stiff grin. She tried to stabilize her trembling hands, inserted the cotton swab into the ointment bottle, and then stretched it toward Zachary inch by inch.“Are you going to apply it just like this?” The mellow voice that sounded just like a musical instrument came from the same direction again.Charlotte was stupefied. “Yeah... That’s what Dr. Stewart said.”Zachary’s perfect eyebrows were slightly furrowed. “So, you’re going to apply ointment on me through the clothes?”‘Wh

“Aaah...” Lorraine let out a soft exclamation. At the same time, she panicked and pushed the drawer of the bedside table.This drawer was filled with very important items to Charlotte, so she was even more sure that Lorraine was stealing her things. Thus, Charlotte strode forward instantly.“What the hell did you take from my drawer? Open up your hands and raise them above your head. I want to search your body!”“Okay, you’re welcome to do so.” Lorraine smiled meaningfully and raised her hands per Charlotte’s request.Charlotte leaned over and inserted her hands into Lorraine’s pocket but saw that Lorraine picked up the mug on the bedside table all of a sudden and slammed it to the ground.Smash! Accompanied by a brittle crunch, the mug broke into pieces of various sizes.There was a “buzz” in Charlotte’s mind.She did not like to drink water, so in order to get her to drink more water, Coraline had given her this mug as a birthday gift last year. Since then, she had been drin
