บททั้งหมดของ The CEO's Addiction To Love: บทที่ 271 - บทที่ 280

‘My god! Why do I have the feeling that Mrs. Connor is colder and more hard-hearted than the Second Master in certain aspects?’Lucas 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 hadn’t been for this accident, Charlotte would have been under the impression that Lorraine wasn’t a bad person at all. To her surprise, Lorraine was an even bigger snake than Tiffany.“Mrs. Connor, are you feeling better? If you are, I’d like to give you the same advice—be more candid with the Second Master…”“Drop it!”Charlotte cut Lucas off.“Aren’t you his personal chauffeur? Lorraine was hurt pretty badly. He’s probably taking her to the hospital. Why aren’t you driving?”“Becaus

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.“Based on the look on Carlie’s face, she must have dragged her feet here. You must’ve gone through a lot of effort to force her to come.”Zachary’s perfectly carved face showed no signs of emotion. “I don’t care about the process, only about the result. Anyway, she’s here to apologize to you.”He turned toward Charlotte. “You promised me on the way here, didn’t you? It’s time to fulfill that promise,” Zachary said, his tone no longer cold.Charlotte bit her lip indignantly. Despite her heavy reluctance, she looked at Lorraine and spat out reluctantly, “Sorry!”“Heh.” Lorraine’s sneer deepened.“I just can’t seem to feel the sincerity in your apology. It sounds more like I owe you something. I’m sorry, Carlie, but I can’t bear to accept that apology.”“You…” Charl

Charlotte listlessly trudged toward the hospital parking lot.She had left Lorraine’s ward for quite some time now. However, the experience of being forced by Zachary to apologize to Lorraine just so he could gain Lorraine’s favor still stabbed her mind like a needle.Lucas noticed Charlotte and immediately got out of the car to greet her.“Hey, milady. I really don’t 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.”“Hah! Hah!”Charlotte looked as if she had heard the greatest joke in the world.“Luke, I’m 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.”“You wouldn’t have come if he hadn’t threatened you like that.”Lucas grinned as he explained, “Knowing

Zachary had seen Charlotte “hurting” Lorraine with his own eyes. Charlotte thought that he would have done something to stand up for Lorraine.However, it seemed like Zachary had completely forgotten the entire incident. He never even chastised her. Charlotte knew that she would never be able to convince him without evidence. Since Zachary did not pursue the matter, she took it as a good sign and dropped the matter.The next day, Zachary recuperated at home while Charlotte went to the art studio.At 10:15, she grew tired of painting, so she stood by the window and stared into space. At that moment, two people walked in hand in hand. Thinking that they were just regular customers, she greeted them without getting a proper look at their faces.“If you’d like to make a purchase, there are price tags on the paintings. The paintings without price tags are temporarily not for sale. Please enjoy the art.”“I’m only interested in your art pieces, so just point them out to me so I won’t

‘But let’s just hold Annalita off for now.’Now that Lorraine was aggressively pursuing Zachary, he would probably submit to Lorraine in less than a month if she maintained her momentum, and Charlotte would be kicked out the door…Charlotte escorted Annalita and Miranda out of the door and watched them get in the car.She waited for their car to drive off into the distance before returning to her studio… Then, she saw Tiffany standing at the corner of the street, watching her furtively.Realizing that Charlotte had spotted her, Tiffany immediately turned around and hid behind a tree. Charlotte smirked. “I saw you. Stop hiding!”“Hmph!”Tiffany sulkily stomped toward Charlotte.“It’s nothing. I was just really bored after being blacklisted. I’ve lost my acting roles, so I wanted to watch Annalita make life difficult for you.”“Oh, really?” Charlotte proudly lifted her face.“I’m sorry for disappointing you.”“That’s right, I’m very disappointed. Who would’ve thought that y
