Charmine walked straight to the balcony, tied the rope around her waist, and put on the gloves. “You two will help me pull on the rope,” instructed Charmine, “so hold on tight.”

“What?” blurted Rio in shock, his eyes wide open. “Charmine—I mean, Boss! Boss, are you going down to save her yourself? This is the eleventh floor! If anything happens to you, how am I supposed to face your grandpa?”

Eric, too, frowned and walked forward. “Let me do it, you hold on to the rope.”

If anything happened to Charmine, he—out of everyone—would be killed by all sorts of people since he brought Charmine back to Burlington!

“Now’s not the time to sit still and do nothing,” countered Charmine. “Also, are any of you as skilled as I am?”

Charmine’s remark stunned the two men silent, especially Eric. He knew that Charmine was skilled and resourceful; perhaps he was only a fraction of what she was even with his abilities..

Regardless...

Saving a person replying on a rope was too dangerous. If

    The originally wide-as-thumb rope was left as a pinky-width rope, ready to snap. Their pupils dilated and instantly stopped whatever they were doing. Eric called out, “Charmine, watch out!” Charmine could make out the noise she had heard, and she looked up to see what happened above her. She knew right away what was happening. Charmine was aware she should not move; even the slightest tug might break the rope. With that, she looked around to evaluate her surroundings. Concurrently, the reporters opposite the building realized something was wrong. They focused their cameras on the worn-out rope against the balcony, and comments flooded the live-streaming platform. [The rope seems to be breaking! So scary!] [There’re at least 30 meters from the seventh floor to the ground. The fall can kill her!] [Argh! Boss Jordan! Why did you risk your life saving a third-wheeler? It’s not worth it!] [I wanna kill Scarlet and her family! She tried to commit suicide and almost caused so

    Charmine’s face darkened as she went up to the ninth floor. When she arrived, people were already on the ninth floor’s lobby as they obstructed the balcony from Scarlet. Her manager and assistants, on the other hand, tried to calm her down, but Scarlet grabbed a vase as she feebly threatened, “Don’t come near me! Stay away! If you come a step closer, I won’t be able to control myself... I’ll do it…!” Her wrist bled profusely, and the blood pooled on the floor of the lobby. Her manager and assistants helplessly kept their distance from her, but when nobody dared to come close, Charmine marched toward her without hesitation. Scarlet staggered a few steps back and, with the vase raised, she yelled, “Don’t…don’t come close…!” “Go on, throw it! Throw it right at me!” dared Charmine, no trace of hesitation in her steps that she took. Scarlet staggered backward in panic, her hands trembled uncontrollably. “I’ll do it! I’ll really do it—argh!” Scarlet was cut short as Charmine sw

    “In other words, if it wasn’t for the news, Scarlet might’ve never found out…” Charmine’s eyes dulled at that; the douche had skillfully wiped his hands clean. Nonetheless... Charmine turned her gaze and, with a low voice, declared, “The person who deserves to be dead isn’t you; it’s Johnson Spencer. You have to live on. I’ll prove your innocence before the Horizon Night. Should I fail to do so, I’ll die with you.” Her cold tone lingered in the room as she turned to leave, her back seemingly regal and proud. Scarlet had a frown on her face, yet there was a small glimmer in her eyes. Before Horizon Night? Prove her innocence? Horizon Night was only five days away, so how could Charmine prove her innocence in five days’ time? She went viral as ‘the third-wheeler’; the third-wheel who destroyed another family. She could not even forgive herself, so how could Charmine save her? Charmine sped off from the company, her eyes cloudy and stormy. No wonder Kelly allowed Scarlet to wal

    She was only away from home for half a day, and this man had gone to look for a mistress! As he picked up Charmine’s misunderstanding, Chris hastily explained, “Mommy, it’s not Daddy’s fault. Grandpa and Grandma sent Auntie McKenzie over, and they said that from today onward, Auntie McKenzie will come to the mansion and spend three hours with us.” Three hours… That basically meant that the seniors of the Bailey family wanted to cultivate feelings between McKenzie and Anthony. They were determined for Anthony to marry McKenzie. They were not wrong; McKenzie was indeed of the uppest class in Burlington. Not only was her family impressive, but she was extremely skilled in medicine and business, and she easily overshadowed the rest. A woman like her was indeed good enough for Anthony. Charmine’s eyes narrowed, though not noticeably so, and looked at Chris. “Alright, Mommy will go home first. I’ll visit you another time.” “No! No! I wanna be with Mommy, and she’ll be leaving

    Anthony halted in his step. “Ms. McKenzie is indeed impressive, but I don’t like women who stick themselves to me, chasing after me, giving one the impression of a loyal dog.” With that said, he freed his wrist from her grip and strode away. He also used his handkerchief to wipe his wrist before he tossed the cloth into a bin. It was arrogant, apathetic, without a trace of gentleness. McKenzie was left with a greenish pale face. Did Anthony just call her a loyal dog? She put down her ego before his to chase him, yet he compared her to a loyal dog? Would there even be a spark of romance between them had she not initiated the chase? Anthony was obviously making it hard for her, insulting her! It did not matter if his parents supported her nor if she came to their home three hours per day... Anthony would still ignore her! Inside the attic…Charmine was just as puzzled. Did she just see how Anthony behaved rather coldly toward another woman? His comeback to reject McKenzie sounde

    Charmine raised her fist, ready to throw her punch, but Anthony caught her tiny fist as he growled, “I’m examining you, so don’t move!” Examine? What? Charmine was confused, but Anthony remained focused as he gently applied pressure on her thighs, down to her knees, then her legs. After checking both her feet professionally, his tight brows slowly relaxed. “You’re fine this time, but never do something like that again!” Charmine frowned in confusion, and it took her some time before she understood what happened. Anthony must have seen the clip of her jumping from the building. He must have been worried about her getting injured, hence why he examined her body…At that moment, Charmine felt warmth that spread from her chest as an unfamiliar emotion bloomed in her heart. The seemingly cold-hearted Anthony was so gentle on her, yet he was so cold toward McKenzie just moments ago. If this went on, things might get out of hand, and she might not be able to control herself anymore…

    Anthony had a strange trait in him since he was a mere boy that made him immune to all women even when he was drugged, yet five years ago, a woman walked into his room and broke the rules he diligently kept all those years. He thought that she was the only person he would ever be interested in, since he did not meet anyone else over the following years that excited him. Understandably, it caught him by surprise that Charmine would make him lose all his bearings once more and wanted her fervently. Charmine was breathless from his kiss, and this feeling reminded her of the night five years ago. Five years ago, the man pressed against her like how Anthony did… The familiar and intimidating feeling overwhelmed her with fear and confusion. Panicked, she harshly bit on his lips. Hiss! Anthony moaned out in pain and let her go by reflex. Charmine sat up and used up her strength to push him away. She glared at him defensively. “What was that, Mr. Bailey? Just because I’m unchaste doe

    Anthony’s gaze hardened as he stared at the retreating Charmine. Once she was out of sight, he took out his phone to dial Luke. “Destroy the entire Walker gang in ten days,” he commanded. The Walker gang dared to touch his woman? He wanted them wiped out of the globe! Meanwhile…Once she walked out of the mansion, McKenzie turned to look back at the building. Hmph, did Anthony really think she did not know there were people in the attic? She was the leader in all fields, and her hearing was better than anyone else. McKenzie swore she heard faint footsteps back then, and she could make out the voice of a child and a woman. There was no mistaking it; there was a woman in Anthony’s mansion! Anthony kept a woman in his mansion behind her back! Who was she? Who else could win over Anthony’s heart other than herself? She turned to the maid holding the umbrella for her and demanded, “Who’s the woman living in the mansion?” “I… I don’t know what Ms. McKenzie is talking about.” The

    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?

    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.

    "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.

    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.
