Charlotte immediately felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. Even her eyebrows trembled.“One month ago, when someone launched an investigation on Zachary, didn’t you say that he was an upstanding man and that he would be fine? Why is he still under investigation? It’s been so long!”“Obviously, it’s ‘cause the people investigating him are following someone else’s orders!”Lucas replied on the phone, clearly yet glumly, “The Second Master may be upstanding and unafraid of looking suspicious, but in the past month or so, the people investigating him have remained persistent, like dogs chasing after a bone. They just won’t let him go. They’ve been hounding him every day, milady. You know that the Second Master is an important figure in his company. The company needs him, but with these people hounding him all day, he has no time to manage the company. If this continues, the Second Master’s company will go bankrupt.”At that moment, Charlotte finally understood why Zachary had su

Charlotte drove the car into the courtyard. Before her car could come to a full stop, a somber-looking butler arrived in front of her car and respectfully said, “Miss Simmons, Mrs. Valentine has been expecting you. Please come with me.”Charlotte followed the butler.“I’m not looking for Lorraine today. Is Jezebel here? Has she left?”“Miss Atson hasn’t left yet. She’s waiting for you. Miss Atson’s time is precious. If you want to see her, you’ll have to follow me. Don’t make Miss Atson wait.”The butler’s expression was filled with reverence at the mention of Jezebel.He then led Charlotte to a bedroom.“This is Mrs. Valentine’s room. It’s inconvenient for me to go in. The door is open. Mrs. Valentine and Miss Atson are inside. You can go in.” He turned around as soon as he explained.The door wasn’t completely closed. Charlotte pushed the door open and saw Lorraine and Jezebel holding hands on the bed.Lorraine quickly smacked Jezebel’s hand away when she saw Charlotte.Jeze

Jezebel and Lorraine lay side by side in a pile of garbage. She was seeing stars due to the heavy impact, so it took her a while to regain her senses.Charlotte scanned the two women with a cold gaze. She didn’t want to spare them another glance, so she turned around and walked out of the room.She’d had enough of the sight of Lorraine and wanted to go home at once.Her trip there had not been pointless. At least she knew who was behind Jebediah’s death now and had completely seen through Lorraine’s ruse!Lorraine had never changed. She had only been secretly biding her time.She should never have shown Lorraine mercy!Lorraine was right. She had caused Jebediah’s death. She had been harboring hope for Lorraine, hope that should never have existed. That was how she had caused Jebediah’s death! This time, it wouldn’t happen again!“Are you going to leave just like that, Charlotte?” Jezebel crawled to her feet, enduring the pain in her chest. She smiled in a twisted manner as sh

“Please calm down, madam. You’re pregnant, so you shouldn’t get angry. I’ll go get it for you…”Very soon, a man walked back to Lorraine with a whip in his hand.When Lorraine snatched the whip from the man’s hand, although Charlotte looked calm on the surface, in reality, her heart was pumping as fast as a hopping rabbit inside her chest.She was very certain that Lorraine would not show her any mercy.Smack!The whip landed relentlessly on Charlotte’s wrist.Just as Charlotte had expected, Lorraine was not going to show her any mercy. She lashed with her whip with so much rage and hatred that Charlotte’s fair skin was torn until it was raw and blood was flowing all over it.Although Charlotte was in a lot of pain, she refused to give in to Lorraine. She forced a smile on her face and looked at her rebelliously. “Is this all you got, Lorraine? No wonder you can’t fight back every time I beat you.”“B*tch!”Lorraine lost it this time. Her clear eyes turned crimson red from ang

“Sigh! In this world, even if a person is doing well in the business world, they can't afford to mess with the officials. You know that, right?”At that moment, Charlotte seemed to understand a little.“Jezebel's father is in high places and he's someone who can push his weight around. Even though the Second Master is a business tycoon in Rothesay, there's nothing he can do other than accept it when he's targeted by such a person...“Sigh! This is how the world works. Sometimes, a person does not get in trouble because they’ve done something wrong, but because they’ve offended the wrong people! Remember this, Ms. Simmons. We can't afford to mess with Jezebel. Don't ever bother her again. Remember that!”At that moment, Charlotte understood everything.It turned out that Jezebel had a big family background, and that was why Lorraine had nothing to fear after getting close to Jezebel!In the past two days, Charlotte had been listed by the police as the number one suspect for Jebedi
