Charmine raised the bottle and muttered, “Okay.”

With that, Maurice smiled gently and clinked his bottle with hers. They thus fell into a long conversation and they drank, much like old friends would.

They had a good time.

A long while later, Maurice finally felt himself losing grip of reality. His gaze conveyed how intoxicated he was, and he mumbled, “Gem, don’t stay up too late—you should be happy. You look adorable when you smile…”

Unable to keep himself up any longer, he was knocked out and slumped on the table.

Charmine’s red lips curved into a smirk. “You broke your promise, Mo. You said you’d talk with me till morning!”

Nonetheless, she continued to drink on her own. As if she was comforting herself, she declared, “Love hurts. I’m better off without it!”

After finishing the few remaining bottles, Charmine stood up from her seat.

She was going to move Maurice to the sofa, but since she had been drinking since the afternoon, she was awfully drunk. It was so terr

    “No.” Charmine looked at him and hopelessly muttered, “We’re trending again, Mo.” Maurice, at that point, was already suffering from a migraine. It felt as if his nerves were entangled, ready to explode anytime. Massaging his head and stretching his back, he asked, “What caused it?” “We slept together last night,” came Charmine’s reply. “Mmh?” Maurice looked at her with disbelief, “We slept together?” Was he not sleeping on the floor? “Yeah.” Charmine had clicked the hashtag and saw photos of her….in Maurice’s arms! Feeling uncomfortable, she handed the phone to him. “After you passed out, I was going to move you to the sofa, but I ended up falling over…” Maurice took a look and apologized, “I’m sorry to cause you trouble again, Gem. Don’t worry, I’ll hold a press conference to explain.” Charmine pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she said, “I don’t mind it. I’m kind of used to these rumors.” At the same time, she wanted to see what Anthony would do w

    Anthony rushed to the door of the ward when Waverly, who was sitting on the sofa, reacted. She came over to pull him by his wrist. “Anthony, where are you going?” He glared at her hand on his wrist and swung her hand away. “None of your business!” Waverly recalled the gossip floating around recently, and she instantly caught onto what he was thinking. “She’s such a flirtatious woman,” scoffed Waverly. “Why are you still looking for her? She even—” “Shut up!” Anthony cut her off and glared at her murderously. “What right do you have to say such things about her? Anything she does is at least ten thousand times better than you!” Waverly’s expression faltered, but her grip on him never wavered. It was an uphill battle to just get Anthony to treat her better. How could she let him go and find Charmine? All her effort would go to waste if they reunited! Waverly bit her lip and said, “She even slept with another man, Anthony! What’s the point of going over to find her?” Antho

    It seemed that Anthony had seen the true colors of Charmine. He was letting go! Waverly could not help smirking. All her hard work and her putting up with his antics finally paid off! Susan looked at her and said, “Thank you for taking care of Anthony for the past two days.” “It’s no problem,” replied Waverly gently. “As his fiancée, this is my duty.” Susan had a knowing smile in her eyes, and she turned and left. Waverly turned and intended to walk into the ward, wanting to build up on their relationship, but when she tried to open the door, she realized that the door was locked from the inside. She knocked on the door. “Anthony, why did you lock the door?” Thomp! As if replying to her, something slammed against the door harshly. Waverly was so startled that she jumped. Still, it did not anger her as she instead said, “Get some rest, then. I’ll make you soup.” She knew Anthony was angry...but so what? As long as he agreed to marry her, she could become Mrs. Ba

    Anthony said nothing, but his dark gaze was still fixated on Charmine. Charmine maintained eye contact. Her initially fluttering heart calmed down. She recollected herself and coldly called out, “Excuse me, Mr. Bailey?” Anthony’s expression turned rigid as his thin lips curled up mockingly. “‘Mr. Bailey,’ huh?” “What else?” said Charmine. “Please keep in mind that we’ve now broken up. We’re strangers.” Anthony scoffed, “So you caused the rumors to trigger me?” Charmine’s red lips curled up coldly. “You must be kidding. I’m just living my life, and it’s just that the reporters exposed my private life.”Anthony looked at her and scoffed, “Or, did you do that for the reporters to see it?” Charmine shrugged and remarked, “Well, if that’s what you want to think, I can’t do anything about it.” She walked past him. However, Anthony did not give her a chance to leave. He reached out to block her path. He took out a delicately made invitation card for her and said emotionless

    Charmine’s back instantly stiffened as the words she had spoken haunted her. It unsettled her. Gazing at her, Chris’ small face was washed with disbelief, and his once bright eyes turned dull. His expression wavered pitiably as he spoke, aggrieved, “So that’s how you’ve been viewing me, Mommy. You no longer love me…” Charmine was petrified on the spot, unable to react for a long time. She never would have expected Chris to overhear what she said to piss Anthony off. “Momo…” Meeting his hurtful eyes, her heart clenched pain. She wanted to explain everything to him, that she did not mean what she had said, but Anthony was still there. She could not go back on what she had spat. Anthony would be marrying Waverly, too. If she admitted that she was not over him yet, she would seem weak. Furthermore, if she got into a new relationship after he got married, she would seem like the loser. Charmine pursed her lips, but just as she was thinking of what to say, Chris started s

    Charmine could not help looking at Anthony, but he looked merely unfazed. Her heart grew cold. Looking at how Chris suffered, she finally caved in and nodded. “Okay.” Gradually, Chris’ seizure ebbed away, and he used his small hand to wipe off the foam at his lips. He hugged Charmine tightly, though his body would jolt from time to time. Charmine patted his shoulder and said, “Mommy will promise you that I won’t have these rumors again, my dear.” Chris nodded his head vehemently, and he stretched out his pinky finger to hers, wanting to swear on her promise. “You promised, Mommy…!” he said feebly and hoarsely as he gazed at her expectantly. Having no other choice, Charmine pinky-promised him. “Okay.” Noticing that his seizure was easing off, she put Chris down and said, “Okay, go home with your Daddy now. I need to go back to work.” Chris did not get off of her when she said that. He hugged her even tighter instead. “Mommy, can you send me home?” Charmine wanted to r

    Of course, Chris did not want Charmine to go. He held onto her tightly and pitiably begged, “Mommy, can you put me to sleep? Daddy doesn’t even care about me, and I’m scared of being by myself…” Charmine bit her lips, but just as she was about to speak, Waverly said from behind them, “Don’t be scared, Momo, I’ll put you to sleep later.” Startled, Chris glared at Waverly and growled, “I don’t want you. Go away!” Waverly had an innocent look on her face. “I’ll be your stepmother in the future. I should be putting you to sleep.” Charmine could not help looking at Anthony, but all she saw was that he merely pursed his lips. He was not keeping here, and he did not even correct Waverly. What Charmine did not see was his arm that faced away from her went stiff as he clenched tightly, so much so that his veins protruded. Disheartened, Charmine put down Chris and said, “Mommy needs to work.” Chris ran after her, but Anthony pulled him back and said, “I’ll put you to sleep.” Wave

    Anthony looked at Waverly coldly. “Marrying you will only give you a title. This doesn’t mean you’re the mistress of the Bailey mansion.” In other words, his marriage with her was merely on paper. She had no right to move things around in the mansion. Waverly’s face turned pale while the maids looked at her with disgust. She had no authority in this mansion, so why was she bossing them around? Anthony glared at the maids. “Put the things back to how they were.” With that said, he shot Waverly a cold stare. “Even if we’re getting married, we won’t live together. You only need to decorate your own room.” Waverly bit her lip and muttered, “But, Mother said—” “Whatever she promised you has nothing to do with me!” Anthony cut her off coldly and marched back inside. Waverly stood on the spot, transfixed. She clenched her fists tightly with a darkened look. That accursed Charmine Jordan! Anthony had treated her much better, but the moment Charmine appeared, he turned cold

    There was an unnoticeable glint in Sonia's eyes. She nestled herself further into Harry's arms as she added, "Let’s go to Pares.

    Dior was still lost in her storm of thoughts when a shadowy figure zipped past her and ran toward Harry.When she spotted this familiar figure, she reacted quickly and held onto him."Let go of me!" growled Guy. "How dare he slap you and misunderstood you? I have to beat some sense into him!"Harry broke free and chased after Harry.Dior, despite having lost all hope and life in her, mustered the last strand of her will to chase after Guy and reeled him back. "Brother, don't," she muttered, "spare your energy…" Her sorrow clouded her eyes as she mumbled, "He’s the man I love. Even though he hates me, I won’t allow you to hurt him. As for the explanation…"Dior smiled ironically. "Whatever. That slap decimated every beautiful daydream I have about him, anyway."She no longer expected anything from him.He had no trust in her, so what would it matter if she finally got him? He did not even love her, and he did not trust her either.Dior smiled elegantly, but her eyes were fille

    Dior looked forward to that new shift.She watched as Harry made his way into the restaurant silently, unable to deter her mind from the daydreams she had of him, of the new chapter of their story they would have.He would apologize to her, trying to redeem himself, and kiss her dearly as he embraced her. Later down the line, they would have a child of their own, too.Harry's long legs walked in strides, his dark gaze trained on Dior.The bright light shone on Dior’s delicately stunning face, and she also wore a red dress.He remembered her wearing this back in Mount Village.He could remember how alluring she looked back then, how they stayed in the same room, how she put down her ego to treat him with so much gentleness.Harry’s cold face mellowed down, but recalling a certain memory, the vague wistfulness in him vanished and he sat in front of her.Dior looked at him fondly, like she always would. "Long time no see."Her eyes burned brightly as if she wanted to drink in his

    Dior examined the footage the moment she received it.True enough, it showed Sonia and George talking about their little deal. It also showed how Dior was telling the truth while they both ganged up on her.Dior’s frail heart felt as though it was rejuvenated once more, feeling as though blood was once more pumped into her heart. Her dull eyes devoid of hope regained their lost luster once more.Not thinking twice, she dialed Harry's number with this evidence, though he had to be busy, seeing as he did not pick up even after the phone rang for a long while.Just as she was about to hang up, Harry picked up the phone."What do you want?"On the other end of the call was the voice that she had missed for so long. His low, hoarse voice sounded so cold and emotionless.Hearing his voice brought Dior back to the image of his handsome face, and her heart skipped a beat.She tried her best to restrain her fluttering emotions as she tried to speak calmly, "Do you have time? I’d like to

    At Mount Village…Inside the elegant bamboo house was Dior, dressed in a beige dress. She sat in the front yard as she took sips of her wine.The sunlight shone past the leaves and illuminated her, yet she exuded an air of loneliness.She swirled the glass and could not help recalling the moments she spent with Harry.In the beginning, she was attracted by his looks; he looked so gentle and elegant.She gave him money, kept him company, and continuously showed up around him in hopes of conquering him.Alas, she ended up in this state.The time she spent with him in Mount Village was the happiest time she had ever had. They had lived inside the bamboo house together, where he took care of her and claimed her to be his woman.They even laid inside the same room.Everything was so beautiful.Cursed was her luck, however, that it was just an illusion. He had been using her from the start, while he chose to stay with the woman who lied to him and even hurt him!No matter how mu

    "Although Susan was unhappy, she should've voiced out her displeasure instead of bottling things. Cheating is wrong, regardless. Furthermore, if she wanted a career, she didn't have to stay home and depend on her husband."Grandma Bailey halted.Was that what Charmine truly thought of?Grandma Bailey thought Charmine would find Susan too aggressive unto herself.Charmine glanced at Susan again and apathetically commented, "She doesn't want to make money on her own, but she wants to be rich while complaining about her man not making time for her and taking care of her? If a woman has no ability of her own and also blames others for her miseries, all she's worth is to sit quietly at home and wait for her husband to come home. She also has no right to cheat! This is how the world works."Charmine patted Grandma Bailey’s shoulder and held Anthony’s hand, her words met with everyone's evidently surprised gazes and their silence.Grandma Bailey was shocked. Sure, Charmine sounded rathe

    The colossal cruise started to drift away from the pier.Eric stood on the cruise and let the wind blow at him, loneliness and hatred still oozing from his being.He stared at the blue ocean ahead of him as Charmine's words rang in his mind unceasingly.'Will you really feel good after you've killed them?''You saw Susan suffering from a serious wound; would you still kill the one sibling you have left in the world?'"Forgive them and yourself.'Deliberating everything carefully, his lips curled into a bitter smile.It was true, after all, that Charmine understood him the most.Eric poured himself another drink and downed it with loneliness as he allowed the cruise to bring him wherever it would take him.…Susan was still inside the operating room when Charmine and the rest of the Baileys rushed into the hospital.Darryl stood before the room, his expression blank, his figure lonely and helpless.So many things had happened in half a day.He found out about his wife's inf

    "No one's stopping you now. Eat!"Anthony clenched his hands tightly and took another glance at Charmine. He was more determined than before, and he was close to eating the pills in the bottle.Charmine, who was held hostage, gradually opened her eyes at that moment. Her gaze drifted toward Eric before she asked, her tone challenging, "Will you really feel good after you've killed them? You saw Susan suffering from a serious wound; would you still kill the one sibling you have left in the world?"Eric halted, and his eyes darkened.Charmine had just woken up, yet what she said…He cast a cold glance at Charmine. "It's my business, and it has nothing to do with you!"They were his family, and he did not want a family like this!Charmine looked squarely at him. "Eric, I don’t care if you used me or plotted against me all these years; I've treated you like a true friend, nothing more nor less. You were the only person who stayed by my side in the past five years, so I hope that you

    Anthony's breath hitched when he saw Charmine.He clenched his fists and, without doubting himself, relented "I can agree to your terms, so let her go right away. This has nothing to do with her; you only hate me after all. As long as you let her go, I'll take the pill. Everything will end right away."Susan shook her head. "We'll die after eating the pill. I’m not taking that!"She had just reunited with Eric, and she did not want to die yet. She looked at Eric and begged, "Please let Anthony be, why don't you? He’s your brother, after all, and he doesn’t even know about your existence. If you’re really angry, just kill Charmine, and I'll make it up to you—"Anthony's expression contorted in sheer fury upon hearing Susan's plea, and he glared at her with murderous intent."This was all your fault, so what right do you have to make Charmine take your blame?!""What on earth are you going on about?" snapped Grandma Bailey.
