The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 268 Lorraineâs Visit
âWhy are there so many amusing people around such a cold and indifferent man!?âDr. Stewart continued solemnly. âIn addition, you should remember to apply the ointment for Second Master once a day throughout this coming week. And after this week, you should apply it every three days until Second Master recovers.âCharlotte almost suffered from hematemesis due to that statement.âMilady, what I told you is very important. Have you noted it down?âCharlotte responded with her blushed cheeks, âI know! I know! Now go!âDr. Stewart nodded and then left in reassurance.Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief when she heard a clear and gentle voice coming from the staircase outside.âDr. Stewart, how is he?ââAh! Ms. Larson, itâs you! Second Master was beaten very severely, but Mrs. Connâ Heh, Ms. Simmons and I have already applied the ointment for him, so heâll be fine.â Dr. Stewarâs voice sounded very respectful.The clear and mellow voice said faintly, âGot it.âThe light footsteps wer
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 269 Lorraineâs Scheme
âAaah...â 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.âWhat the hell did you take from my drawer? Open up your hands and raise them above your head. I want to search your body!ââOkay, youâre welcome to do so.â Lorraine smiled meaningfully and raised her hands per Charlotteâs request.Charlotte leaned over and inserted her hands into Lorraineâs 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 âbuzzâ in Charlotteâs 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
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 270 Iâm Down To See What Heâll Do To Me
At first, Lorraine had pretended to go through her drawer just to lead Charlotte into searching her body, and then, step by step, she created an illusion that Charlotte was hurting her with the porcelain piece...Look at her now!At present, Lorraine was curled up on the floor, acting just like a victim, while Charlotte was holding the porcelain piece that she had snatched from her, and her body was bent forward, forming an arch over Lorraineâs body. How could all these details not make it look like she was assaulting Lorraine?Thereâs no way she could walk out of this mess looking like an angel now!âHah!â Charlotte could not help but laugh. âLorraine, I thought you were different from Tiffany, but it turns out that youâre also a shameless scheming b*tch.ââCarlie, what are you talking about... Aah... Donât come near! Please donât ruin my face!â Seeing that Charlotte was approaching her, Lorraine panicked and covered her face with both hands. âZachary, hurry up and save meââBef

âMy god! Why do I have the feeling that Mrs. Connor is colder and more hard-hearted than the Second Master in certain aspects?âLucas wanted to cry, yet no tears would come.Charlotte refused to stay in her room any longer. She threw the glass to the ground, turned around, and headed to the living room. It was clear that Lorraine had an exceptionally high IQ and EQ. She had played her part impeccably. Charlotte analyzed it from every angle but could not find a way to expose her.Actually, if it hadnât been for this accident, Charlotte would have been under the impression that Lorraine wasnât a bad person at all. To her surprise, Lorraine was an even bigger snake than Tiffany.âMrs. Connor, are you feeling better? If you are, Iâd like to give you the same adviceâbe more candid with the Second MasterâĶââDrop it!âCharlotte cut Lucas off.âArenât you his personal chauffeur? Lorraine was hurt pretty badly. Heâs probably taking her to the hospital. Why arenât you driving?ââBecaus
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 272 The Mighty Prenup
âAre you done complaining?ââNo!âCharlotte knew that if she lifted her head and looked into Zacharyâs cold and dignified gaze, she would be scared out of her wits and would no longer have the courage to yell at him. Thus, she stubbornly kept her head down.âHe heâĶ Itâs so funny to hear you calling Lorraine âLoryâ. Isnât she your aunt now? Who would use such a cute nickname for their aunt, Mr. Connor? I guess youâre the only one.ââAnything else?â Zachary asked with an icy tone.Charlotte shook her head.She had said everything that needed to be said. She would accept whatever Zachary had in store to avenge Lorraine.âAlright then, come with me to the hospital now,â Zachary answered steadily in his magnetic voice.Charlotte furrowed her pretty brows. âWhy should I go to the hospital?ââTo apologize to my aunt,â Zachary replied, looking majestic like a king.Charlotte felt as if an atomic bomb had exploded in her head. âIâm not going!âShe bravely lifted her head, disregardin
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 273 A Forced Apology
At the hospital...Lorraine lay in bed, the top half of her body wrapped in bandages.When Charlotte followed Zachary in, Lorraine glanced indifferently at her. The corners of her lips curved into a mocking sneer.âBased on the look on Carlieâs face, she must have dragged her feet here. You mustâve gone through a lot of effort to force her to come.âZacharyâs perfectly carved face showed no signs of emotion. âI donât care about the process, only about the result. Anyway, sheâs here to apologize to you.âHe turned toward Charlotte. âYou promised me on the way here, didnât you? Itâs time to fulfill that promise,â Zachary said, his tone no longer cold.Charlotte bit her lip indignantly. Despite her heavy reluctance, she looked at Lorraine and spat out reluctantly, âSorry!ââHeh.â Lorraineâs sneer deepened.âI just canât seem to feel the sincerity in your apology. It sounds more like I owe you something. Iâm sorry, Carlie, but I canât bear to accept that apology.ââYouâĶâ Charl
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 274 The Old Zachary Canât Come To The Phone Anymore
âMind your own business.âLorraine froze in place while standing in front of Zachary with her hands outstretched, ready to offer him her support. She felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head. Her limpid, beautiful eyes turned empty, as if they had lost their focus.âMy affairs are none of your business.âZacharyâs cold voice addressed her again.Lorraineâs graceful figure shivered. Then, the corners of her lips curved into a bitter smile. âZachary, Iâve always known that you were heartless, but I never thought that youâd actually be heartless to me.âThe words that had come out of Zacharyâs thin lips had been spoken in a sublime, cold, decisive tone.âWhy waste your emotional effort on someone you donât even care about?âThose words were like a bolt of lightning that struck Lorraine.The words âwaste your emotional effortâ were like ice picks piercing her heart.âZachary! He was once endlessly indulgent with me and cared greatly for me. Now, he belie
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 275 A Winning Bet
Charlotte listlessly trudged toward the hospital parking lot.She had left Lorraineâs ward for quite some time now. However, the experience of being forced by Zachary to apologize to Lorraine just so he could gain Lorraineâs favor still stabbed her mind like a needle.Lucas noticed Charlotte and immediately got out of the car to greet her.âHey, milady. I really donât think the Second Master dragged you here to apologize to Miss Lorraine just to make her happy, not judging by the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes. I kept thinking about it and I think I understand now. The Second Master did all this for you.ââHah! Hah!âCharlotte looked as if she had heard the greatest joke in the world.âLuke, Iâm not stupid enough to completely miss such an obvious fact. Your Second Master threatened to destroy my entire family just to force me to apologize to the woman he loves.ââYou wouldnât have come if he hadnât threatened you like that.âLucas grinned as he explained, âKnowing

The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1425 Mr. Atson
As expected, a video had been sent to Charlotteâs 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.âThis 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. Youâre welcome!âCharlotteâs expression stiffened.A few minutes later, she received another message.âI wonât let anyone see this. Donât worry.âCharlotte 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 Masseratiâs door and said in a
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1424 Can You Still Drive?
âLoryâĶâ A clear and melodious voice called out.A fair hand held her by the wrist as a car stopped nearby.âZachary is openly making love to another woman in front of you. Heâs obviously just trying to hurt you. You know this, so why are you still standing here, watching foolishly?âLorraine shook her head feebly. It took her a while before she calmed down and replied shakily, âYouâre wrong, Jez. Zachary isnât doing it with her to hurt me. Iâm nothing to him now. Carlie is the only thing that matters to him. He would never use tools to hurt me. Heâs doing this because heâs so in love with Carlie that heâs lost control!ââUhâĶâ Jezebel turned awkwardly toward Charlotteâs car, shook her head, and said, âLory, since you know you mean nothing to Zachary, why are you still torturing yourself? Forget him, and Iâll take you anywhere you like. Isnât that much better?ââNo!â Lorraine grimaced. Her eyes flashed hatefully.âItâs all Charlotteâs fault that Zach and I have ended up this way. I
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1423 We Need A Ceremony
The corners of Charlotteâs lips twitched. âI donât think thatâs a good idea.ââWhy?â 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 supermodelâs.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 silhouetteâĶâD*mn it!âZachary realized that the longer his gaze lingered on Charlotteâs body, the brighter the flames of passion burned within him, even though he had always abstained.âBased on Rothesay tradition, a man and a woman can only be considered husband and wife after holding a proper wedding ceremony. I know weâve registered, but people will talk if we live together without having a ceremony,â Charlotte replied calmly
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1422 Iâm Not Scared
Charlotte remained sitting calmly in the car. She knew that this time, Zachary was determined to strangle Lorraine to death.Of course, she didnât want Zachary to do itâĶ But not because she didnât want Lorraine to die. It was because Lorraine had Jezebelâs support. If Zachary killed her, Jezebel would do everything to avenge Lorraine.It wasnât worth it for Zachary to plunge into mutual destruction with Lorraine. She didnât 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-driverâs seat.Zachary didnât speak. Instead, he stared at her.Despite her intimate relatio
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1421 Assassin Versus Assassin
âWhat have you done?â Zacharyâs voice was as cold as a frosty wind.âIâve 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!âCharlotteâs entire body went cold as soon as she heard this.âHeheheâĶ Sorry, Zach, I misspoke. I shouldnât have said âher two kidsâ. Theyâre yours and Charlotteâs kids, arenât they?âLorraine 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. âHahahahaâĶ Look at that nervous look on your face, Zach. Youâve always been fearless, but sheâs the only one whoâs ever been able to make you lose your sh*t, isnât she?âZachary eyed Lorraine icily, his gaze as sharp as cold knives. Lorraine, whose heart was no
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1420 The Wicked Woman
Lorraine forgot about the pain due to the intense panic she felt and stared at Zachary in disbelief. âZachary, what do you mean by these scary remarks? Iâm pregnant, yet you kicked me, disregarding mine and the childâs well-being. Could you be... Are you thinking of... Are you thinking of killing me?ââA wicked woman like you deserves more than just death.â Zacharyâs cold voice slapped Lorraine in the face.Lorraineâs 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!âBut... wicked woman?âI didnât expect to be labeled as a âwicked womanâ in Zacharyâs heart someday!âAs he was glaring at this pitiful woman, there was not even a hint of sympathy in Zacharyâs eyes, and his voice still sounded frigid and merci
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1419 Any Last Words?
Lucas called not long after Charlotte put down her cell phone. âMilady, I just received a call from my ex-girlfriend, who I dumped last month, and she said that she just found out that sheâs pregnant and she suspects that the baby might be my child... Ahem!âTherefore, I have to go to the hospital to get a paternity test with her as soon as possible. I donât have time to drive Naomi back to your house, so you can either pick her up yourself or just let Naomi stay at the Second Masterâs house.âCharlotte decided to pick Naomi up.As soon as she drove out of the yard gate, a crimson Ferrari dashed toward her head-on. She immediately turned the steering wheel sharply, avoiding a direct clash with the car.Braking harshly, the Ferrari hit the tree and killed its engine.Charlotte also stepped on the brake.The Ferrariâs door was pushed open abruptly, and Lorraine walked in front of Charlotteâs car angrily. She then pointed at Charlotte with her trembling right hand. âCharlotte Simmon
The CEO's Addiction To Love   Chapter 1418 Investigation On Jezebelâs Father
âDonât forget who I am. Thereâs nothing that I canât find out as long as I want to know... AaaahââBaby, youâre hurting me. Donât be too greedy... Oh, slow down, Iâm on the phone. Oh. Owââ The manâs voice was interrupted by a series of his own cries, and a womanâs moans were coming from the background at the same time.Charlotte vaguely pictured a rather explicit scene, blushed, and cleared her throat. âUm... I can call you later if itâs inconvenient for you to speak now.ââThereâs no need. Itâs convenient. Very convenient... Good girls, wait for me on the bed. Iâll get angry otherwise, understand?ââHmph, are we less significant than your phone calls? Hmph!ââDonât keep us waiting!âThe sound of footsteps faded away.The man squinted his rare violet eyes and said languidly, âMy little Simmons Princess, Iâve long heard people say that youâre still alive, and I really want to take a look at you with my own eyes, but Iâve sworn to never take another step into Rothesay. You should

Zachary looked at Charlotte through the window as a surge of pride swelled inside of him. âSheâs my wife right now, so sheâs your niece-in-law. You shouldnât call her âthat womanâ anymore.âThe corner of the manâs lips curled up a little when he heard what Zachary had said. However, he soon reverted to his serious expression and continued. âZach, even if sheâs your wife now, I have to warn you. You have to think twice before you act. My great-grandfather, whoâs also your great-grandfather, was framed and died in prison for offending someone from the royal family. Your great-great-grandmother wrote a letter with her own blood and came up with a family rule. The Connors are only allowed to do business. They are not allowed to deal with people from the government. Do you really want to break the family rule for her?ââYes,â Zachary replied, his deep brown eyes filled with murderous intent. âI owe her a wedding, and I donât want them to interfere with my wedding.âThe man opened his mou
