Chapter 855 It’s Not Enough (2)

Zachary turned his cold, frosty gaze to Lucas. “Start the car!” “Oh.” Despite feeling bad for Lorraine, Lucas obediently started the car. The luxurious customized Rolls-Royce drove off. Lorraine was forced to release her grip on the car door, staying behind alone. She stood in the midst of the sharp-smelling car exhaust with a pale look on her face. She felt a wave of cold wind. Her graceful figure wavered, and her legs buckled. She landed on the ice-cold tar road with a thump. “Ah! Isn’t that Miss Lorraine?” “Pfft! Miss Larson is the hottest female celebrity at the moment. She’s really regal. Why would she ever appear on the street so casually? Are you dreaming?” “I’m beginning to wonder if I’m dreaming too. But look!” The other person rubbed her eyes. “Oh my god, it really is her! She’s my idol. What is she doing? Why is she kneeling on the ground? Who hurt her? Come on, let’s help her!” Two young girls in school uniforms rushed toward Lorraine, who was not too far away. However, before they could reach her side, they stopped in fright when they saw a man with grim eyes. The man hurriedly approached Lorraine and extended his large hand toward her. “You’re a public figure now. How could you disregard your reputation like that?” Lorraine refused to take the man’s hand. Instead, she stared in a daze at the spot where Zachary had been standing with tears streaming down her face. “You know me, Jebediah. I’ve never cared about my reputation or profit. All I want is Zach’s love. Ever since our engagement, I’ve been so afraid that I wouldn’t be good enough for him that I’ve asked you to endorse me into stardom over the past few years just to give myself an upgrade so that once he and I walk down the aisle, everyone will say that we’re a match made in heaven. But now, look at me…” Jebediah stared at her pitifully. “I can see, Lory. You’re doing great. You have more than 3 trillion fans. You’ve been crowned the most beautiful woman in the world for two consecutive years. The people who love you are countless. Zach’s the only blind one who can’t see it. He’s taken you for granted.” “That’s not what I’m trying to say! Jebediah, look at me. I’m wearing a dazzling dress, and the spotlight is on me everywhere I go. But Zach, he…” Lorraine wept even harder than ever. “He’d rather marry a wh*re like Sotiria than marry me. It’s been four years. He may look fine in front of me, but he won’t even look at me! Sob… Sob, sob…” The more Lorraine thought of this, the sadder she felt. She sobbed like a child. Jebediah felt as if a knife had sliced through his heart when he saw the look on her face. He didn’t say anything else. Instead, he bent down and swept her into his arms, then carried her to his car. Lorraine, who was placed in the car by Jebediah, cried for at least five minutes before she could calm down. She took a deep breath. “Jebediah, I’ve waited for three years to be with Zach. In just two more years, we’ll finally be together. Once that happens, no one will ever tear us apart. You have to help me stop him. You can’t let him marry Sotiria.” Jebediah’s handsome, godlike face was a mixture of pity and chilliness. “Lory, aren’t you usually very calm? Why are you always reduced to a bundle of nerves when it comes to Zach? A few days ago, you claimed that Charlotte was still alive when you saw Zach trying to seduce Sotiria. You said that Sotiria was really Charlotte. I’ve checked. Charlotte is dead, and Sotiria is Sotiria… Now, since you’re talking about Zach marrying Sotiria, let’s set Sotiria’s filthy past aside and ignore whether that disgusts Zach or not. She’s engaged to your brother. They’ve already sent out the wedding invitations. Your brother is going to marry her in a few days. How could Zach possibly marry her?”
