’What?’Charlotte had knocked on the door nine times and had almost broken her finger. She had only opened the door and entered the room because of the lack of response from Zachary, okay?Charlotte, who had walked into the room, saw Zachary staring at the emerald locket in a daze. She did not want to disturb him, so she tried to tiptoe back to the bedroom without making a noise, but she was discovered before she could make a move.Seeing that Zachary was looking rather upset, Charlotte did not want to argue with him, so she smiled. “Okay, my bad. I’ll knock next time. I won’t bother you now, so you can continue to stare at your baby in a trance.”Zachary opened his mouth, but before he had the time to speak, Charlotte had already stridden into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.Zachary furrowed his picture-perfect brows unpleasantly.‘Charlotte Simmons! Is this rebellion?’...Charlotte, who had returned to her bedroom peacefully, heaved a long sigh of relief.If she had

Charlotte returned to her bedroom, but her heart was still beating vigorously. While she looked in the mirror, her lips were as crimson as if they were bleeding, and her mouth was filled with a faint sweet and metallic blood aftertaste, as if Zachary’s intense kiss was still lingering on her lips...Whenever Zachary approached her, she would always feel panic and awe. She’d even had the illusion that she had returned to the night when that stranger had defiled her ten months ago.This time around, was it because Zachary had mistaken her for his beloved woman? His kiss had been so affectionate that Charlotte had only felt warmth.“Ugh!” Charlotte gave her reflection in the mirror the middle finger to express her contempt and simultaneously murmured to comfort herself. “Charlotte Simmons, you’re doing just fine. There’s nothing wrong with you. No woman should be able to resist that scourge’s charm.”…As Charlotte was lying on the bed and caressing her belly, she thought of the chil

Only then did Zachary recall their original plan. “Okay.”His tone sounded casual, but it still gave everyone present the feeling that he had just remembered about the meeting.He took a huge stride on his long, slender legs and walked toward Lucas. “Are you not coming with me?”Lucas stared at Charlotte, who Zachary had cleverly placed in front of the bedroom door. “Second Master, you were having such an intimate moment with Charlotte just minutes ago... Are you really going to leave her like this?”As he spoke, Lucas suddenly felt a chill down his spine, raised his head, and as expected, ran into Zachary’s grim gaze. He was so scared that he almost knelt on the spot and begged Jesus for His blessing.Zachary’s indifferent gaze was something that he had to deal with daily, and one glance had always been enough to frighten him out of his wits. Why would he stare at him with such a terrorizing glare then?‘Wait a minute! The second master wants to leave the scene in a hurry… Is he

She placed her hands on her tiny waist, which was the size of an A4 paper, and smirked.“Come on, come and look at the tramp who seduced Mr. Connor, everyone… What a joke. Mr. Connor is the very epitome of grace. He has a severe case of germophobia when it comes to women. Pure, virginal girls have never caught his eye, let alone gotten any form of result. Why would Mr. Connor possibly want someone else’s unwanted second-hand model? She must have disgusted him. Look at how close she is with that woman. Has she switched targets after failing to seduce men? Is she after women now?”A cold sensation rose from within Charlotte’s heart. She raised her hand, ready to give the woman a slap… but a splash of red wine got to her first.“Ah!” The woman’s pretty face drained of color. She glared at Coraline, who was next to Charlotte, in disbelief as she wiped the wine off her face. “How dare you! Do you have any idea who I am?”Coraline lifted her small, palm-sized face with an obstinate look

‘Is Zachary Connor some sort of freak of nature?’“Consider your career in the entertainment industry over. From now on, I will do everything in my power to crush you.” Zachary spoke in a mildly husky voice, but his eyes were cold and sinister like Satan’s.Sarah’s face was drained of color.She was a famous model and had only begun her career in the entertainment industry half a year ago. Her gorgeous looks and amazing figure had earned her connections with a few influential figures in the entertainment industry. She had risen to the ranks of a B-list actress in just half a year.However, Sarah was far from satisfied.She wanted to be an A-lister and play in the big leagues, but her connections with those big wigs were not enough to put her on that pedestal. Only someone like Zachary had the power to…It didn’t matter if Zachary didn’t like her. Tonight was all she needed, and she could blackmail Zachary into making her famous.Unfortunately, contrary to Sarah’s expectations, s
