‘I won’t let Charlotte get away with this!’“Stand up for you?” He spoke through his thin lips. “You tried to strangle me, and you want me to defend you?”Miranda was stunned. “Zach, I’m family. You wouldn’t resent me just because I accidentally hurt you. How could there possibly be any resentment between us?”Zachary raised his brow. “Charlotte is family too. She’s my wife. Why should I hurt her?”Miranda was left speechless.Then, Zachary gently patted Miranda’s shoulders. “Remember this, Mimi—both of you are equally important to me. If you ever get into an argument like this again, I won’t help either of you.”‘What?’‘Is this formidable man that blind? Can’t he see that I’m no match for Charlotte Simmons in a fight? If he refuses to help, that means that he’s going to just stand back and watch that tramp beat me up!’Miranda began reconsidering her life. Zachary had reached the doorway by the time she came back to her senses. Her heart sank. The corners of her lips, which

Tiffany’s hand stiffened just as she was about to touch the back of Charlotte’s hand.Bryson’s expression looked clouded with gloom. His gaze turned to ice as he glared at Charlotte.However, Charlotte didn’t care. Her gaze never lingered on Bryson’s face. “You’re in my way. I need to get to my car. Please step aside,” she said evenly.Tiffany took a step back.Bryson, however, remained standing in front of the car. He stared at her with a deep, cold look in his eyes. “I’ve heard about you and Zachary.”Charlotte sneered. “My personal affairs are none of your business. I’ll say this again: You’re in my way. Step aside!”Bryson replied, “Everyone in the industry knows how cold and merciless Zachary Connor is.” He then said in an even deeper voice, “He’s a walking demon. Annoy him, and you’re as good as dead.”“Hah!” He had touched a most prickly wound. Charlotte laughed cynically at first. Then, she turned toward Bryson and snapped. “Bryson, back when I had just given birth, I

Charlotte could not help but feel disappointed.Zachary then added, “If a person treats their enemy like any other ordinary person, it doesn’t mean that they’re a noble person. It just shows that they’re hypocritical. On the contrary, if a person treats their enemy badly, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re dishonorable. They might just be a good person that can tell whom or what to hate or love.”‘What?! Is he complimenting me? Is he saying I’m a person with a clear idea of what I hate or love?’ Charlotte suddenly felt warm deep down.“I hit Bryson,” Zachary said coldly.“Yeah,” Charlotte responded immediately out of reflex. At the same time, she looked up at his magnificent face for an instant, trying to guess his intention based on his expression.Then, Charlotte realized that it was incredibly stupid for her to do so because Zachary had no expression on that paralyzed face of his!Besides, he was leaning backward, driving the car with a stiff and straight posture, just l

Charlotte’s gaze was once again attracted by him.“Were you looking for me?” A cold, melodious baritone escaped from Zachary’s thin lips.Charlotte hurriedly moved her gaze away with a guilty conscience. “He he… It’s nothing. I can see that your complexion looks much better than last night. Have you recovered from your jealousy?”She regretted it right after saying this and wanted to find a rag and shove it in her mouth. It was also because she was nervous when Zachary was glancing at her. So nervous that she started speaking immediately without even thinking about what she was saying.Zachary frowned slightly and answered in his usual lackadaisical voice, “Yeah, I’ve recovered.”Charlotte was surprised and thankful that Zachary had not lost his head. She breathed a sigh of relief in secret.“Actually, I was looking for you. Do you remember that you confined me in the mansion before you went to Country M? Even if yesterday was excluded, you’ve locked me up for 26 days straight. C

Even though Zachary did not have feelings for her, she would still do everything she could and be his wife wholeheartedly.She would abide strictly by the prenuptial agreements by keeping her distance from Zachary and not overstepping his boundaries...Outside the airport...As he was standing in front of his black luxurious car, Zachary’s well-built figure and perfect appearance attracted all the women’s gazes and made all men feel envious and jealous at the same time. If it were not for his domineering and intimidating aura, many women would have walked up to him to strike up a conversation.“Second Uncle!” When Zenios Connor, who was walking out of the airport, saw Zachary, he dropped his suitcase, ran toward him, and gave him a big hug.“Second Uncle, your time is precious, yet still you drove all the way here to pick me up personally. You do love me the most. You might even love me more than my parents do.”If it had not been for Zachary’s disgusted expression, Zenios might have k
