Chapter 12 A Phony

Author: Moonlight City
Charlotte rode the gold bike back to the parking space outside "The Pearl".

Sarah walked over to her while twisting her body with a sarcastic expression on her face.

"I admire you very much. We women lose our worth after we get married or have children, no matter how beautiful we look. There are very few second marriages that end up being better than the first marriage.

“You’re different. Even though you were kicked out of the house by Bryson, you still managed to find Zachary, who is even better. Sigh! I finally figured it out today. As long as a pair of shoes looks great, even if it’s worn, some people will still pick it up and wear it without thinking that it’s dirty."

In other words, she was calling Charlotte a pair of shoes that had been worn by Bryson...

Sarah was jealous of Charlotte for being the most wanted socialite in Rothesay. In the past, Sarah had always ridiculed Charlotte, so Charlotte was not surprised. She pursed her lips calmly.

"Sarah, I‘ve heard several people calling you a phony behind your back."

"You... You’re spewing nonsense! I’ve always been pure. Who called me a phony? They have no proof. Why would they frame me? They... They are… They are the phonies instead for calling me a phony behind my back..."

As she looked around in a panic, even her voice was trembling.

Charlotte raised her eyebrows. "Don't get so agitated. Otherwise, people are going to think that it’s because you have a guilty conscience."

Sarah was speechless.

Charlotte patted the front of the superbike with her right hand. "Oh, yes, I need to thank you. If it weren't for your help, how would the owner of this gold superbike have let me ride his bike?"

Sarah's face turned pale. "You... How did you know?"

Charlotte raised her worn face and smiled arrogantly. "Of all the people present today, you’re the person who wanted to see me fail the most. I knew that when I came to get this bike, no matter who the owner of the bike was, you would do everything possible to persuade the owner to lend me the bike. You believed that I would lose and wanted to see me humiliate myself in public."

Suddenly, Sarah felt as if she had just been slapped in the face by Charlotte. For a while, she was so furious that she did not speak.

Charlotte did not bother paying attention to Sarah anymore. She left her standing as she turned around and walked to the side of the road.

About ten seconds later, Sarah came back to her senses and stomped her feet vigorously. She stared at Charlotte’s thin figure bitterly and said, "Charlotte, don't be too smug about it. Do you know who Zachary Connor is? Why would he be interested in a used woman who has given birth to a child? If you insist on marrying him, you’re simply looking for trouble. I hope you’ll get dumped by Zachary Connor, just like you got dumped by Bryson."

It was as if a layer of fog had appeared over Charlotte's face. Right afterward, she switched back to her indifferent expression and turned her head proudly. "This has nothing to do with you."

When she turned around, the sadness she had tried to hide earlier once again emerged in her eyes.

Charlotte was not a fool. She knew that if an outstanding person like Zachary Connor wanted to get married, he would be able to find a better woman than her.

However, this morning, after Zachary had rescued her and brought her home, he had asked her to marry him.

Why would Zachary Connor do that?

Before yesterday, Charlotte had never had anything to do with Zachary Connor, but he seemed to know everything about her.

Charlotte did not know what Zachary's purpose was or what would be waiting for her ahead, but there was no turning back.

From the moment she had decided to make this bet with Zachary, she had already decided to go all out. Even if she had to sacrifice herself, she could only keep going forward.

    As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotte’s inbox.Charlotte opened it and found a video of her recent sexual encounter with Zachary in the car. She screamed and blushed furiously.Before long, she received a message from Rufus.“This exciting clip of you with Zachary is your remuneration. I will keep it safe and save it for my future enjoyment. Our debt has been repaid. You’re welcome!”Charlotte’s expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.“I won’t let anyone see this. Don’t worry.”Charlotte questioned herself.She had no idea how Rufus had managed to get this video. He was in a different city. However, she let go of the question soon enough, as Rufus had already sent the information to her inbox.The next day, at a high-class hotel in Rothesay.A black Masserati was parked outside the hotel entrance. As two bodyguards escorted a pot-bellied, middle-aged man out of the hotel, the driver hurriedly opened the Masserati’s door and said in a

    “Lory…” A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.“Zachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. He’s obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?”Lorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, “You’re wrong, Jez. Zachary isn’t doing it with her to hurt me. I’m nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. He’s doing this because he’s so in love with Carlie that he’s lost control!”“Uh…” Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotte’s car, shook her head, and said, “Lory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and I’ll take you anywhere you like. Isn’t that much better?”“No!” Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.“It’s all Charlotte’s fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I

    The corners of Charlotte’s lips twitched. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”“Why?” Zachary kept his eyes on her.There was no doubt about it. Not only did his wife have an extremely exquisite face, but her figure was also graceful and well-proportioned, better than a supermodel’s.The subtle display of fair flesh underneath her skirt seemed to exude a seductive fragrance. Her waist, which was the width of an A4 size paper, was slender. He felt an urge to hold her in his arms. She crossed her slender and well-proportioned legs naturally, creating a dark silhouette…‘D*mn it!’Zachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotte’s body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.“Based on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know we’ve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,” Charlotte replied calmly

    Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didn’t want Zachary to do it… But not because she didn’t want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebel’s support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasn’t worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didn’t deserve him.Charlotte knew very well that since Lorraine, who was a natural schemer, had the nerve to seek her out alone, it meant that she would have been prepared to run into Zachary and would ensure that Zachary would be too afraid to kill her.Thus, even though Zachary was strangling Lorraine, Charlotte did not exit the car to stop him.The car door opened and closed.Charlotte felt a bone-chilling aura throughout the entire car as soon as Zachary entered the co-driver’s seat.Zachary didn’t speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio

    “What have you done?” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a frosty wind.“I’ve hired a few assassins. The assassins and I have had an agreement. If anything happens to me, they will do everything in their power to kill Charlotte and her two kids!”Charlotte’s entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.“Hehehe… Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldn’t have said ‘her two kids’. They’re yours and Charlotte’s kids, aren’t they?”Lorraine supported herself as she rose to her feet.In the past, no matter what happened, she would always do her best to maintain a good impression in front of Zachary, to show him the best parts of her.Now, she knew that his impression of her was gone with the wind. She cackled freely like a maniac. “Hahahaha… Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. You’ve always been fearless, but she’s the only one who’s ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isn’t she?”Zachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no

    Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. “Zachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? I’m pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the child’s well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?”“A wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.” Zachary’s cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraine’s lips trembled, but she could not utter another word, as if her throat was being severely strangled by an invisible hand.Cough! A large mouthful of blood was spat out of her mouth, dyeing her white dress red.Although she did not feel pain or fear, her heart was glacial.She also knew that she deserved more than just death!‘But... wicked woman?‘I didn’t expect to be labeled as a “wicked woman” in Zachary’s heart someday!’As he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zachary’s eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
