Tiffany was shocked with disbelief. Her face stiffened as she could barely contain her emotions, but she managed to hold herself together and forced a smile, asking, “Sir, I think you’ve made a mistake.”

Charmine just returned to the country, and hardly anyone knew her. How would such a wealthy boss know her and send someone to pick her up?

“No, I’ve not,” the chauffeur deadpanned. “I’m here to pick up Miss Jordan. Charmine Jordan,” he added, emphasizing ‘Charmine’ when he spoke.

Disbelief, their gazes turned to Charmine as though in slow-motion.

This car came for Charmine? She knew the car’s owner? Impossible! Tiffany’s face twisted into a shade beyond abhorrence. How could it be?

As everyone was still frozen in shock, the man walked toward Charmine and bowed. “Miss Jordan, please.”

Charmine walked over nonchalantly, her eyes judging the car. “Hmm... It’s not too bad, I’d give you that. However, there are only seven cars in the world, and that number is ominous. Also, black absorbs heat, and it’s not suitable to be driven in summer. It seems the seats are real leather, too,” she spoke, going into detail. “Is your boss not aware that real leather traps heat in summer?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A Hypersport came to pick her up, and she was still unsatisfied? What more, criticizing the number for being supposedly ‘ominous’? The seats trap heat? What an ungrateful b*tch!

Luke Reed’s lips twitched. Indeed, this was true to Charmine Jordan’s nature. She disgusted Mr. Bailey’s diamond ring days ago, and now she hated his Hypersport? What was she made of?

With a frown, he sighed. “ Miss Jordan, please don’t make it hard for me. My master said I must pick you up no matter what. Also, the young master prepared you a gift.” Luke then handed Charmine an exquisite-looking wooden box.

Charmine frowned. Young master? Who could it be that they even prepared a gift?

She accepted the box dubiously. Inside the box was a hand-prepared breakfast, with rice shaped into an adorable cartoon figure, its black eyes made of black pearl. On the bottom right corner, a few words were written with black sauce:

[Wishing Mommy all the best! My Mommy will stun the world!]

It had to be Chris Bailey.

A grin unnoticeably made its way on Charmine’s face as she recalled the boy’s round face, and her heart softened. ‘Fine. For Momo’s sake, I’ll get in,’ she reasoned.

Instantly relieved, Luke hastily opened the door for her and got in the driver’s seat himself.

Vroom!

The Hypersport raced away as it left dust particles and leaves fluttering.

Tiffany was splashed by the leaves, messing up her hair, while dust stained her white dress. Her so-called ‘friends’ mocked her as badly as they praised her, although they only did it behind her back due to her reputation and power.

Still, Tiffany felt their mocking glances. She could not restrain her emotions anymore as she was left awestruck in embarrassment. The Hypersport came for Charmine, not her... How embarrassing! She had never been more embarrassed in her entire life.

Her plan was to stop Charmine and slow her down from appearing on the show. Alas, not only were her plans ruined, but she was utterly humiliated as well!

No way. She could not sit idly; Tiffany wanted Charmine to fail. She wanted her dead!

She picked up her phone and replied Amelia, her eyes filled with pure malice.

‘Just you wait, Charmine. You’ll be embarrassed through and through. I want to get back at you for what you did, but ten times worse!’

    At Ocean Pearl. It was only 9.30am, but guests had occupied the hall. With the bet between Charmine and Julian going on, everyone was keen to find out who Charmine was and how she would win. The ticket price went from a few thousand to twenty thousand per ticket due to the increasing demand. Even executives like Julian who was never seen in Burlington reserved front row seats. They were all supporters of Julian, wanting to find out what drove Charmine to place such a grand and risky bet against Julian.A dazzling back Hypersport pulled over at Ocean Pearl’s back door. Luke turned to Charmine and said, “Miss Jordan, I’m relaying a message from Mr. Bailey. He said that if you need anything, just say the word and he’d get it done.”“No, I don’t need it,” came her firm reply. “This is a small matter, and help is not needed.” Charmine got out of the car, but as she was about to shut the door, she added, “Right, help me to pass on to your Mr. Bailey. Ask him to spend more time with Momo,

    Time fleeted unnoticeably, and it was almost ten o’clock.“Get ready, everyone,” an assistant called out to the supermodels backstage. “Stand by the stage. It’s almost showtime!”The supermodels stood up to get in line according to their given number. Charmine was the last to appear on stage, thus it was not her turn for at least the next thirty minutes. She laid back languidly on her seat as she settled her mind.Outside, amid the huge space of Ocean Pearl, a tall T-stage was built in half-translucent colourful glass, surrounded by chairs across its perimeters. The guests in the hall were the richest in the country, able to afford a ticket at a starting price of 200,000 dollars. Outside the hall, the standing tickets were as high as a thousand dollars. Most of the audience was looking forward to the show; some for the models while some for the jewelry. Of course, the one thing everyone was really looking forward to was Charmine Jordan and how she would ‘stun the world’ as she claim

    The first to appear on the stage was a tall and slim Causasion supermodel. She was dressed in a tight-fitting black short skirt, complementing her alluring body shape. Blue-eyed with wavy blond hair cascading down her shoulders glamorously, it was the most famous supermodel from France, Michelle Kerry! Around her neck hung a red ruby necklace, and it came along with earrings and bracelets of the same series. This was Chanel’s latest collection named Passion. complemented by Michelle’s fiery temperament, it was seamlessly perfect! The audience was left awestruck by her beauty and they, along with the paparazzi, started taking photos of her. Thus began the hushed comments between attendees. “If a top supermodel like Michelle can only be the opening act, how great could Charmine be to make the final appearance?”“Who knows? Maybe she slept with the owner of Chanel!”“Even if she did sleep with the owner and made the final appearance with her body, can’t she be a little lay-low abo

    A figure so ethereal slowly emerged to the stage.She appeared to be naked under the light, the shade and shape of her body all too noticeable: Long neck, paper-thin waist, and those elegant, long and straight legs! There was not a trace of excess fat on her body. It was as though she was a sculpture made in heaven. This was a figure of a natural supermodel.Still, was she genuinely naked? Did she choose to go on stage naked just to win?Anthony’s face darkened instantly as his hands instantly shot up to cover the boy’s and Nial’s eyes. A strange and unfamiliar feeling of anger arose in his chest, and his ears rang with the words Charmine had said to him, ‘Walking around the beach in a bikini.’Had she always been such an open-minded person?All the audience stared at her in bewilderment. Some even had the word ‘god’ comically appeared in their mouths.On the streaming platform, some commented, [OMG! We can report Chanel for streaming pornography, right?]However, it was onl

    Charmine elegantly twisted to the opposite side and simultaneously tossed the silk cape upward. The long and flowy cape floated in the air—as though in slow-motion—before it wound around the metal frame above the stage into a knot. In a swift movement, Charmine pulled on the cape as her body swayed freely in the air. Like a choreographed dance, she flew above everyone else languidly and carefreely with the silk. Her skin-colored tulle dress fluttered as she floated in the air, while the cape whirled like tidal waves. The innumerable fireflies became her backdrop as she flew like a fey from a dreamy fairyland; stunningly beautiful, stunningly bewitching. Everyone watched as she glided above them, their breath taken away.Ineffable. Her dress swirled like the smoke of an enchanting dream. She was like a goddess that came from heaven that held captive the souls below her with a faint smile.With a smooth transition, she hooked her legs mid-air as she reached over to remove her sho

    Charmine’s comment, though aloof, hid a threat.Amelia was shocked as though an earthquake had just hit. A billion worth of insurance? How was that even possible? What was she made of; gold? Still, if Charmine was telling the truth, the issuance company might come after Amelia if anything happened to her. “So? Go on, hit me! Why, are you scared? If you’re not gonna hit me, well, it’s my turn!” sneered Charmine as she cracked her knuckles.Crack! Crack! The cracking of her knuckles sounded loud and crisp, and Amelia felt fear creeping onto her. “What… What are you trying to do? There’re so many people here…! You can’t hit me!”“So what if I hit you? Does it look like I care?”Charmine then swung her fist at Amelia’s right upper arm followed by a strong kick directed at her heel.Suddenly, a sound of fracture was heard as the gem bracelet on Amelia’s arm was crushed while her long and pointy heels broke into two! Charmine crushed her bracelet with her mere fist and broke her hee

    With the bodyguards’ escort, Charmine got on a limousine parked by the side. Once she got in, however, she saw Anthony sitting in the backseat. What was more terrifying was that Nial was the driver again. Would the horrific experience repeat?Her first instinct was to push the door open and get down the car, but she could not leave due to the crazy fans and paparazzi outside. In her hesitation, Nial hastily stepped on the gas pedal. The car moved at such a speed that Charmine had no time to even lament.It was then when Charmine’s eyes squinted as a thought occurred to her. She leaned toward Anthony. When Anthony saw her leaning closer, his eyes darkened with excitement as he gulped. It felt so fast; Charmine was already right next to him and she reached her hand toward his waist.Chris—sitting in the front row—instantly covered his eyes while Nial flicked down the rear mirror as he did not want to be distracted. Charmine’s hand was groping Anthony’s waist as if searching for so

    Anthony and Nial followed right behind Charmine and Chris.They entered the congee shop, and Charmine ordered a pot of congee with some light dishes. Once the waitress took the order and left, Charmine eyed both men sitting opposite her and scolded, “Can’t you two men behave appropriately? The boy is still so young. How can you feed him spicy food? Growing tall by eating spicy food is a complete bullsh*t. How can men like you two believe in such nonsense!?”“We—” Nial refuted instinctively in an attempt to explain.Anthony kicked him under the table, and with a solemn and understanding expression, he spoke, “Miss Jordan is right. I’ll take note of that. Is there anything else I should take note of?”“Mommy, Daddy always signed me up for tuition classes,” Chris chimed in. “I have classes till twelve o’clock every night!” He continued, “Oh, and Daddy always leaves me alone at home, only sharing one meal with me every week. Also, he brings me out to play only once a month!” he lamente

    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.

    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?

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.

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.

    "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.

    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.
