Charmine did not respond to Anthony, and he sensed the coldness in her eyes. He reached out and grabbed her wrists, pulling her toward him.

Charmine, not fast enough to register Anthony’s tug, fell to his lap as their bodies grazed one another.

She struggled to get up, but Anthony tightened his grip around her waist.

“What? We haven’t met for two days, and we’re strangers now?”

His husky voice felt suffocating as his frosty aura hit her in the face.

Charmine’s heartbeats fastened, but she composed herself and warningly growled, “This is an office, and there are people outside. Let go of me!”

“Does that mean I won’t have to let you go if this isn’t an office and there’s no one outside?” asked Anthony.

That stumped Charmine.

How ridiculous. Would anyone even expect that President Bailey would say such things?

She had no choice but to bring out her ultimate weapon. “Anthony, don’t you forget about our promise. If you break the promise today, the countdown restarts.”

    Charmine stiffened at the thought as she hastily agreed, “Okay!” Anthony then stood up and walked to the door, turning to her before he walked out. “I really had no choice but to carry Annabel. If my lady minds it, I won’t do it again.” With that, he left. He knew clearly why Charmine declined his video-calls—it was Annabel. Charmine did not expect him to make such a promise. Her uncertain heart from the morning had become somewhat calmer. Anthony came to the conference in-person to meet her… Perhaps she really had thought too lowly of his feelings for her. She hoped everything would stay perfect for the next seven days. Charmine did not realize how her usually smart and dominating self became so small in terms of relationships. She felt as if she was on a rollercoaster throughout.... On that same day, the photo of Anthony and Charmine shaking hands made headlines in all business news outlets and went viral. In the lab, McKenzie looked at a video clip of the press

    Charmine checked the time on her phone—only 5pm. She had time to spare, so she nodded. “Yes, but…” She needed fresh clothes, considering she was doused in Sprite and covered with the pizzas’ oily stains. “Muse Bar has new women’s clothing, and I can give them to you for free,” offered Tristan. “You don’t have to pay for the pizzas as well.” Charmine rolled her eyes at him. He was hilarious, for sure. Her clothes cost over 10,000 bucks, yet she was nice enough to not ask him to pay up. Alas, the nearest mall from her was a few kilometers away. Charmine could not be bothered to get to the mall, thus she followed Tristan to Muse Club straight away.... Upon entering Muse Club, a line of servers lowered their heads and greeted, “President Walker.” Tristan ordered, “Get a set of clothing to Room One.” “Yes, Sir!” answered a server before leaving to do as tasked. Tristan and Charmine entered the room. The room had a minimalist design, its walls painted snowy white. The w

    A frog jumped onto Charmine’s feet. As Charmine wore open-toe heels, she felt a cold sensation on her toe as the frog landed on her feet. When she lowered her head to have a closer look, the frog happily jumped away. Tristan asked, “What? Does the touch feel real?” Charmine frowned suspiciously. “What technology makes such a realistic effect?” “3D combined with the human body heat induction system. For example, if the temperature is high while we’re playing music relating to snow, the temperature of the room would lower down, and there’ll be snowflakes as well! “As for the children’s song, well, the project has just started. We’re thinking of ways to combine children’s songs with games. Along with a designated heat induction system, getting the targeted amount of frogs or other small animals within the time of one song would earn a surprise gift,” Tristan introduced. Charmine had seen all sorts of high-technology, and they were superior to all else. She did not expect the

    “Of course I like her! She’s my Mommy!” Chris’ eyes twinkled like the stars in a night sky when Nial mentioned Charmine. He picked up the brush and painted a skirt on Charmine’s figure, wanting to beautify her. It was apparent that out of the three figures, only Charmine was delicately painted. Even her fingernails were carefully painted. “What about Ms. Annabel?” asked Nial. “What do you feel about her?” “Oh, she’s just a plain person. I don’t like her, I don’t love her—I don’t feel anything,” answered Chris in a more serious tone. Nial frowned. Logically speaking, Chris was related to Annabel, and the sixth sense of a child was always accurate. Chris should have favored Annabel over Charmine. Why was he so cold to Annabel and, instead, liked Charmine more? Chris continued, “Uncle Nial, you have to take good care of Auntie Annabel.” “Huh?” There it was at last; he sounded more like a son already! However, Chris continued, “Daddy won’t have to interact with Auntie An

    Nial saw through Anthony, and he sighed. The once precise man changed into a completely different man after falling in love. No wonder the elders always said it was better to find a wife to look after the man, and Nial never believed that until Charmine happened. As the sun fell to slumber, the sky turned dark. “Dinner’s ready!” a female’s voice called out from the inside. Nial frowned. He turned over to see Annabel walking to the dining table with her walking stick. She had a dish in her hand. He instantly walked over. “Didn’t I ask you to lay down and not move? Why did you get up?” “I’m fine, I didn’t put weight on my leg. I’m supported by the walking stick,” assured Annabel as she raised her leg for him to see. Her wound did not break open, still perfectly sealed. Annabel reassured them, “Don’t worry, I’m not a weak woman. I can take care of myself. Don’t waste too much time on me, Mr. Nial, it’s okay to get back to your work.” Nial looked at Anthony. It seemed t

    “Had she… Had she not gotten pregnant and given birth out of wedlock five years ago, we’d be extremely grateful now, unable to pay back to your kindness… “But… Only Annabel knows how much pain she had endured in the past few years!” She paused and sobbed silently, her voice hoarse as she did. “People would ridicule her no matter where she went, scorning her behind her back. They called her dirty, unchaste, cheap, and easy... “We’ve tried to introduce her to people for the past five years, but they’d all look at her disdainfully when they found out that she had given birth before. “The entire Southern Village knew about her ruined reputation, no one wanted to even befriend her. Wherever we went, we couldn’t raise our heads, and every relative had cut us out. The hurt we’ve endured isn’t something money can fix!” “Mom, stop talking. Get up, please,” warned Annabel with eyes reddened. She did not like her mother relaying their story, especially in front of Anthony. Anthony

    Anthony turned his gaze to Nial and instructed, “Put up a list of trusted names, and arrange some blind dates for Annabel.” “Arrange some blind dates? Bro? Are you serious…?” Nial’s lips twitched. Why the rush? Would Annabel even agree? Anthony’s lips curled up. “Of course I’m serious. Find someone trustworthy who doesn’t mind her past. You'll be fully in charge of this.” “How do I arrange such a thing? How will I know if they care about her past or not? What if they pretend it doesn’t bother them? Annabel will be the one suffering once they’re married…” Nial reminded him. Meanwhile, Annabel walked toward with her walking stick. “It’s okay, I’m willing to go on blind dates. As long as someone is willing to marry me, it’s okay if they mind about my past. I’m okay to be wronged.” Her voice was determined and serious. Nial frowned, while Chris eyed Annabel strangely. Logically speaking, was she not supposed to hold Anthony accountable for this? Why was she so understand

    All of a sudden, Charmine’s bedroom door was pushed open as people rushed in, glaring at her distastefully. “A cheap woman like you want to marry Anthony? In your dreams!” “You have a tarnished reputation and had a stillbirth, yet you want to marry up to a man like him?” Charmine hastily shook her head and tried to explain she was the wronged party, that the person who harmed her was the ‘cheap’ one, not her. That person should have been the one facing the consequences, not her! Before she could even explain herself, however, three figures walked in as they held hands. They were Anthony, Annabel, and Chris, each wearing grins on their faces. The people that barged into her room surrounded Charmine as they threw rubbish, rotten eggs, and vegetables at her. “Anthony…!” Charmine cried out. “Anthony…!” No one heard her nor came to her aid. Anthony held Annabel by the waist, his eyes filled with love. No! “Anthony!” Charmine cried out and shot up on her bed. The sky

    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.

He thought for a moment before he took out a laptop, turned it on, and plugged in the USB.A moment later, the screen showed what seemed to be peculiar surveillance footage with a descriptio

    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.

    "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.
