Semua Bab The CEO's Addiction To Love: Bab 241 - Bab 250

“Huh!?” Charlotte cried in alarm, “Are you serious about that?” Zachary replied plainly, “Yes, I’m serious.”Charlotte shook her head. “I suggest you think again. After all, I can see that these things mean a lot to you. You want to destroy them now because you let your emotion get the upper hand over you. I’m pretty certain that you will regret it after you’ve calmed down. Besides, look at the diamond on this ring. It’s so big and bright, and it must be worth a fortune. It’s such a waste to burn it—”“Are you going to help me or not?” Zachary cut her short, causing Charlotte to jump in fright. “Well, if you insist. Of course, I’m going to help!”“Then, take it away.”“Alright…”Charlotte tiptoed to the table. Before this, she had been standing behind Zachary’s back, and it was only at this moment that she saw Zachary’s face. She noticed there was a faint trace of sadness running harsh lines down each side of his perfectly chiseled face that was normally set in a stern expre

Zachary had told Charlotte that it was Annalita who had asked him to bring her here…However, why had she said she had never invited her?Charlotte felt something was not right, but considering Zachary’s usual stone-cold and tepid behavior whenever he was interacting with other people, she figured that his mother might be the same type of person as him as well. After all, an apple did not fall far from a tree. However, what Charlotte did not see was that Zachary’s brows were locked tightly on his forehead right now.The highly professional waiter immediately brought two chairs over.After Charlotte took her seat, she awkwardly realized that the six family members of Zachary were staring at her as if she was an alien, but none of them spoke.Annalita rolled her eyes. “What’s the matter? Has the cat gotten your tongue?”A middle-aged woman smiled dryly and said, “You’ve finally come, Zachary. Do you know everyone has been waiting for you?”Another old man wearing a thick gold ch

Annalita’s well-maintained complexion was filled with shock and disbelief.“Zach, have you forgotten your own mother’s birthday? You’re one of the hosts for tonight’s birthday party too. Our guests will consider me a laughing stock if you abandon me. Are you going to disregard my pride too, for this tramp?”The six close relatives gaped in shock.Zachary’s acquaintances were all aware that there were only three people whom Zachary truly cared about—his mother, Annalita, his sister, Miranda, and his nephew, Zenios. Among the three, Annalita was first in line.Therefore, Zachary may seem as terrifying as Hades himself to an outsider, but he was completely obedient to Annalita. He was always considerate of her. He would never defy Annalita, not even at the expense of his own grief… Today, however, he had not only talked back to Annalita in order to protect Charlotte, but he was even ready to wave his hand, leave Annalita’s birthday party, and embarrass her!‘Miranda was right! That

Kourtney may be completely unfazed as she continued making out with the man, but Charlotte’s face was flushed from humiliation. She quickened her pace and ran out of the boat.Kourtney really was her mother.However, she had never shown her any motherly affection, not even for a day.Kourtney had tossed her off to a maid as soon as she had given birth to her as if she were throwing out the trash. After a month, having achieved full recovery postpartum, she had slept with the butler and had been caught in the act by Charlotte’s father…Her father may have been in love with Kourtney, but he couldn’t stand the humiliation, so he kicked her out.As such, her father had ended up raising her on his own. Kourtney had never once visited her during her childhood.Alfred had once told Charlotte that Kourtney had tried to smother her to death on the second day after her birth. Luckily, he had caught her just in time and saved her!Charlotte stood quietly on the deck, deep in thought.She

The other two relatives had retreated all the way to the center of the deck before Miranda could even ask for their help. They shook their heads.“You… All of you…” The infuriated and terrified Miranda burst into tears.Just then, Charlotte climbed over the railing and dove into the sea without hesitation.She had already begun taking off her clothes when Annalita fell into the sea. She enjoyed water sports, so she was well aware of how chilling ocean water could be at this time of the night. Diving head-first was extremely risky, so she took off her clothes and did a quick warm-up before jumping in.Charlotte quickly brought Annalita back onto the boat.The four relatives who were reluctant to save her surrounded her at once.“Anna, I was just about to jump and save you, but that woman got to you first.”“Anna, you’re a blessed soul. You’ll be fine.”“Anna, you’re all wet. Here, take my coat—”“Enough!”Annalita pushed Miranda’s Second Uncle’s coat away in disgust. She refus
