‘Alright then!’Lucas gave Zachary a thumbs-up sign.In the eyes of the public, Zachary was as terrifying as Hades himself. Only a few people who truly understood him knew that when it came to the people he cared about, Zachary would disregard all personal gains and losses and treasure them unconditionally. Zachary still cared deeply about Zenios, even though he was making a bold attempt to snatch his wife away.“He he he… Second Master, since you’re keen on helping Zenios find his son and you worry about him taking Mrs. Connor away once he’s found, I have an idea to completely get rid of your worries.” Lucas grinned. “Go ahead,” Zachary said, raising his brow.Lucas looked as if he had a well-thought-out plan. “It’s easy. You could impregnate Mrs. Connor with your baby before Zenios finds their son.”A peculiar expression flashed across Zachary’s chiseled face. He curled the corners of his lips but didn’t say a word.“I know what you’re thinking, Second Master. You think that

The last time Charlotte had come to the studio was three months ago. As soon as she walked into the studio, she immediately set up an easel, and the familiar fragrance of paper and paint that wafted up her nostrils put her mind at ease.At the same time, two high school girls walked into the studio arm in arm. The girl with longer hair tilted her head up and asked, “Hey, old bag, are you the owner of this studio?”Charlotte frowned upon hearing the appellation and said, “I’m just five years older than you, so you should call me miss.”“Hah! You should take a look at yourself in a mirror and count the wrinkles on your face. I really have no idea why you have the audacity to ask us to call you miss. You should be grateful that I didn’t call you an old hag.”Charlotte did not know what had gotten into the girl, but she was not going to be lenient with her. She threw her brush on the floor and rose to her feet. Staring angrily at the girl, she said, “Say that again and I’m going to k

“How many times do I have to tell you?! Stay down! Stay the f*ck down!”Victor continued to brandish the belt relentlessly on Charlotte’s back, but she did not give up. Bracing herself against the onslaught, she stood up again and again.Victor was stout, so he was shorter than Charlotte. When Charlotte stood in front of him, staring him down arrogantly and coldly, he sensed a dangerous vibe coming from her. His heart skipped a beat, but he soon regained his composure.As he glared at the frail-looking but determined woman before him, his lips cracked a malicious grin that contorted his face while he dropped the belt. He then launched himself at Charlotte, putting his hands around her neck as he attempted to strangle her.“Mgh…”Charlotte’s limbs were tied, not to mention that she was under the influence of the drug. There was no way she could withstand the momentum caused by Victor’s large body in her current state, so she was slammed against the ground.The impact caused her brain to

This was the last straw.Something in Zachary snapped, and a voice was shouting at him to kiss her. He lightly lifted Charlotte’s face and planted his thin lips on her forehead.“You are a jerk!” Charlotte shouted, causing Zachary to move back with a start.A second later, Charlotte added, “You ungrateful son of a b*tch! I hope you die a million deaths… How could you betray me?“Bryson, I was so good to you… I loved you so much. I gave you everything I had. Why? Why… Why… Sob… Sob…” Charlotte cried out loud as big tears started to drop from the corners of her eyes.Upon seeing her tears, Zachary felt as if someone had carved a hole in his heart. It was empty, bottomless, and nothing could fill it up.He had met Charlotte at the lowest point of her life. No matter how many grievances she had to endure and what kind of hardships she had to experience, Charlotte would always raise her eyebrows and lift her lips proudly, putting all the pain into a smile.Zachary thought a headstrong and d

“If you still won’t let go of her, I’ll take it personally!” Zachary’s voice was cold, and his gaze was terrifying. He looked like a tiger protecting its cub.Zenios placed Charlotte back onto the car seat immediately. As soon as he placed her down, Zachary grabbed his arm and dragged him out of the car abruptly.Zachary’s strength was so immense that Zenios lost his balance and fell butt-first under the London planes beside the driveway. He then gasped and rubbed his hurting arm.“Second Uncle, that was really cruel. Even though Carlie hasn’t chosen me, she is still our child’s mother. What’s wrong with me caring about her?”“I don’t mind anyone caring about her, but I’ll never allow any man except me to care about her excessively, and you’re no exception.” Zachary’s eyes were gloomy and freezing cold.“Zenios, brand what just happened into your brain because this is the last time it happens. If I see another attempt, don’t blame me for not treating you as my nephew.”The corner
