Chapter 854 It’s Not Enough (1)

Lorraine, who was wearing a white long dress, walked gracefully toward Zachary from his right. “I wanted to say that even though your whole objective when it comes to pursuing Sotiria is vengeance, I’m actually jealous of her. You’ve given her flowers, helped her take revenge, and kissed her in public. I’m actually jealous of a wh*re you don’t love, a woman who you’ll never marry even if you successfully make her fall for you.” “Who says I won’t marry her?” Zachary replied as indifferently as usual. He did not look at Lorraine. Lorraine’s red lips clearly shook. “What are you saying, Zach?” Zachary, whose face was completely expressionless, had eyes as cold as knives. “I’ve officially asked her to marry me. If she agrees, I’ll marry her at once.” Zachary’s voice was as cold as water, yet Lorraine felt as if she had heard lightning strike on a clear day. Her porcelain-white skin seemed even whiter than paper now. She grabbed Zachary’s arm in a panic. “Zach, how… how could you do this? We’ve been engaged for three years. Have you forgotten our promise? We promised to be husband and wife in five years!” “I remember that promise very clearly.” The regal, kingly man’s icy pupils only contained a cold, distant air. “Three years ago, I fell for your and Mimi’s scheme and agreed to that engagement. On the day of our engagement, I made it very clear that if I did not meet a woman I wanted to marry in five years, I would marry you. It’s only been three years, and I’ve already met her.” Lorraine felt as if someone was strangling her violently. She opened her red lips but could not say a word. At that moment, Lucas pulled to the side of the road in the car. Zachary pushed her away and walked toward the car. Lorraine finally came back to her senses when Zachary reached his car. She opened her ice-cold lips with great difficulty. “I’ve been observing her. It’s true that some of Sotiria’s behavior is similar to Carlie’s, but I never thought that you’d want to marry her because of that. Have you forgotten what kind of woman she is? Have you forgotten how much Annalita hates offensive and indecent women like her?” Zachary’s eyes were like ice. He refused to even turn around. “It’s none of your business.” He entered the vehicle as he said that. “Stop right there!” Lorraine, whose heart was filled with despair, completely disregarded her dignity and charged toward him before grabbing the car door firmly. “I understand! I understand everything now! You can’t forget Carlie, right? You’re just marrying that woman because she resembles her, aren’t you? I’m throwing caution to the wind. I’ll get plastic surgery today and I’ll change my face to look like Carlie’s. From now on, whenever I’m with you, I’ll imitate her and act like her. I’ll even change my name to hers. Will that be enough?” “No.” Zachary quietly shook his head. He never even looked at Lorraine. “You may be able to look exactly like her, but you’ll never be able to portray or pick up on her temperament.” Lorraine stared at Zachary in despair, as if a sharp knife had pierced her heart. She couldn’t make another sound.
