As a thought occurred to her, Susan then raised her glass out of the blue. “Ms. Jordan saved our Grandma Bailey today. Let me make a toast to Ms. Jordan,” she spoke as she raised her wine glass.

This was the top-graded wine from the Baileys’ wine cellar. In the upper-class society, there was proper dining etiquette.

Even in the case of making a toast, there were many rules.

Susan raised her wine glass and quietly looked at Charmine, waiting for her to embarrass herself.

Everyone on the table was from a prominent, wealthy family, and only Charmine hailed from a small family. Even if she somehow got rich down the line, how would she learn about the upper-class’s table etiquette?

Ha!

At that moment, all eyes were on Charmine as they waited for her to make a fool out of herself.

By then, if she did anything wrong, they would lecture her!

However, against their expectations...

Under everyone’s scrutinizing gaze, Charmine raised her wine glass with her hand around the stem,

    Since Anthony was the prominent character at the occasion, everyone still had their eyes on him even if no one spoke to him. After what he did, everyone eyed the three of them. The Baileys were shocked. To them, Anthony always had no feeling like a cold robot, so when did this man grow to be a man capable of getting jealous? McKenzie and Waverly did not seem pleased. What did Charmine do to him? Was Anthony truly showing off their affection in public? Was he that jealous of his son? What man was this? He wanted Charmine to pick up food for him in public. Did he consider what others feel about it? Everyone stared at Charmine as Anthony’s plate was in front of her as well. The empty plate was almost like him saying to her, though telepathically so, ‘If you don’t get me food, I won’t eat.’ Feeling the rather immense pressure on her, Charmine took some food for Anthony from chicken to prawns, and then to seafood. She even picked him some chives before pushing the plate

    What if Charmine used this opportunity to ask for permission to marry Anthony? Grandma Bailey scoffed at Susan, “This is my affair. Charmine saved my life, and I have to thank her. Go on, Charmine, just say it.” McKenzie and Waverly’s expressions shifted. Charmine was about to ask for something…and she might ask to be with Anthony, officially! At that moment, Charmine’s gaze met Grandma Bailey’s eyes. “I don’t need a favor, but if Grandma Bailey insists, I’ve got one favor to ask for. I hope Grandma Bailey could promise me that when you see Momo in the future, even if you don’t like him, don’t say mean things to him.” “Huh?” Grandma Bailey was dumbfounded. She was prepared for Charmine to ask to be with Anthony, yet this was the request she asked for? Charmine looked at Chris before she continued to them, “Anthony already found out that it was Ms. McKenzie Houston who drugged Chris’ mother—she was drugged and didn’t plan to bear this child. Furthermore, no matter who his m

    Waverly’s birthday was in two days. Waverly initially did not think of hosting a birthday banquet since she was not in Kansas, and she did not know many people nor have friends in Burlington. At this point, however, it seemed that she must make it. She must host it so sumptuously. On that day, Max and Fredrick started organizing it and sent out invitations to the people in Kansas. The D’Cruz family was big and wealthy like the royals in Kansas. Nobody dared to turn this down, and countless people had to book tickets to fly to Burlington. Charmine, Anthony, and Chris sat inside the car and left the Bailey mansion. When she saw the design inside the car, she felt a surge of warmth inside her heart. Anthony had put in so much effort for her. She thought about the steel he wore as she looked at him. “You don’t have to do preparations like this in the future, really. Even if you have any contact with Waverly, I won’t mind.” “No way! I don’t want Daddy to have anything to do

    This was the first time Charmine would celebrate her birthday genuinely as the Jordan family’s heiress and with a birthday banquet to boot. Charmine frowned. They were already organizing this and made it such a big thing as well? At that moment, her phone rang. Answering the call, Charmine was greeted with Joey’s explanation, “Charmine, I’m sorry. We wanted to make you a private birthday banquet and only invited close relatives, and we didn’t mean to make it such a big deal, but the media found out about it somehow. What do you think? Now that it’s exposed, why don’t we come up with something else?” What they did was more of a homey, cozy party—it was not one of those high-standard ones. Charmine frowned. So they did not expose it themselves? Did someone arrange it and buy views for it? Charmine came to a conclusion silently before she calmly answered, “Don’t worry, keep working on it. Wait for my news.” The car pulled over at Violet Residence. Charmine was on the ph

    Skyview Tower. The nine-story glass tower stood out from the sea. Since it was autumn, the mist and water vapor made the glass building more dream-like. Charmine did not want to come to this place, but she received the investigation from Kay that Waverly wanted to host her banquet here. Skyview Tower was like Hermès for all the wealthy ones in Burlington. Waverly wanted to crash her completely! Furthermore, she arranged for the news of Charmine’s birthday to be exposed, and she wanted to see Charmine embarrassed. How could Charmine let her be when Waverly was pushing it? However, the owner of the Skyview Building was… Ring! Ring! Her phone rang amid her thoughts. Charmine took out her phone and heard Anthony’s low voice. “Are you out?” he asked her. “I’ve arranged for Moonlight Shore to be booked. How would you like it to be arranged? Or would you like me to take charge of it?” Moonlight Shore was also a landmark building in Burlington. One night’s reservation was

    The serving staff frowned. They had reserved the place in Max’s favor. If he decided to not officiate the reservation that was happening in two days, who would reserve it? If they had a day of no reservations, they would lose up to ten million. He would lose his commission! He instantly instructed the guards, “Come, and ask Ms. Jordan to leave!” These guards had been serving all kinds of moguls of all industries. To someone like Charmine with only some money, they did not take her seriously. They instantly walked toward Charmine to ask her to leave, pushing her as one of them said, “Hurry, please leave. Don’t be so shameless. This isn’t a place for someone like you to be at.” Charmine did not expect them to be physical. They were hotel staff workers; did they just touch her? Pushed with such force, she staggered and almost slipped...when she suddenly fell into a warm embrace. She turned back to see that it was William. Holding her in his arms, William instantly let he

    As they were all in shock, William continued, “Furthermore, even if she has an attitude, she’s my friend. I’ll only let her have the reservation.” His tone was gentle yet arrogant. Max’s expression darkened instantly. William was that protective over Charmine, so much so that he would only let Charmine have the slot? Max scoffed, “Mr. Peterson, things must be fair. Are you sure this is how you’re treating your client?” “My apologies, but I’ve made up my mind. Please leave.” William looked him in the eye, not once budging from his stance. Max clenched her fists tightly. Damn William! He was a well-known businessman himself, yet William treated him with such an attitude? Alas, Max had close relations with the people from the association. Kansas focused on scientific development as well. William’s words were powerful. Max had to hold it in. After staring at Charmine with anger, he walked away. Charmine took out her phone and captured the image of Max leaving the flo

    If they could not win Charmine location-wise, they could only… Thinking of something, Max’s eyes lit up as he said to Waverly, “What about this: I’ll ask them to move over all of the newly-bred White Camellia flowers for the decoration in two days.” When Waverly heard that, her frown eased slightly. “Alright. Thank you, brother.” She smiled. The White Camellia was a mysterious flower that only existed in mythology. Rumors had it that there were only leaves with no petals. It was a very rare species. Kansas had attempted to breed this flower and succeeded. If they could use the White Camellia as decorations, they would make Charmine lose! Max sighed in relief—he managed to make his woman happy. He took out his phone as he was about to make the arrangement, but he just so happened to see the news that read, [Shocking! Max D’Cruz Shamelessly Kicked Out of Skyview Tower!] It took only a while before the article made it to the hot-list. The comment section was full of negati

    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?

    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

    "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.

    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.
