Chapter 97
Charmine obviously did not want to speak any further and solemnly said “Bring little Meghan home. I
slept tootest night and need to catch up on sleep.” After she said that, she took a step toward her
room.
When she walked past Chris, she could not help but stop to persuade him. “Momo, please be a good
boy. Look here, can you see that auntie has dark eye circles now? I really need a nap. Can you be
good for me and go home first?”
“Ok! I’ll listen to mommy!” Surprisingly, Chris agreed with her. In fact, he carried the dishes toward the
kitchen and said while walking, ” Mommy, sleep as much as you want. Daddy and I will wash the
dishes then return home. I promise we won’t bother you!”
Charmine raised her eyebrows, wondering, ‘ When did Chris be such an obedient child?’
Anthony was also a little perplexed but did not think too much of it. Turning to Charmine, he said, “Get
some rest, we’ll tidy up then head out.” He walked toward the kitchen to help Chris wash the dishes.
Charmine gazed at their silhouettes, one tall and the other short. She could not help but feel the long-
lost feeling of homeing from the kitchen. It had been such a long time since she had felt like this,
not since five years ago.
She stepped into her room andy down in her bed. Looking up at the ceiling, a memory from five
years ago appeared in her thoughts unbidden. Five years ago, Julian Cabell invited her to the Royal
Banquet Bar saying that he wanted to give her a surprise. When she arrived, the first person she met
there instead was Tiffany Jordan. After having a ss of wine with Tiffany, she fell unconscious.
When she regained consciousness, she was already lying in a bed in Phoenix Hotel. Moreover, she
had lost her virginity. Julianid right next to her. At the time, she really thought that she gave her first
time to Julian. However, she found outter that she had fallen into a trap set by Tiffany!
All these years, she worked really hard to make herself forget and stop herself from thinking too much
about what had happened. However, these days she found herself feeling more resentful toward the
man in bed with her. If it was not for him, she would never have been disgraced. Maybe, she would not
be so resistant and wary of men’s advances toward her. A man that could force himself onto another
person was definitely not a good person!
The sound of the gate gently closing could be heard from outside her room. Charmine started to collect
her thoughts and took out her cellphone to send a text to Kay. “Continue to investigate what happened
five years ago. Make sure the investigation is conducted thoroughly!”
“Ok.”
On the other side, Anthony really did not hear a word Julian said. After bringing Chris out of Garden
Vi, Anthony turned to him and asked, “Why were you so obedient today?”
“Daddy, couldn’t you tell that mommy was very angry with you?” Chris responded. “Besides, you
couldn’t evene up with a good response. Mommy must think you’re stupid for sure. The more you
speak, the more you might make a mistake. In this sort of situation, it’s best you don’t do anything.”
Anthony coughed twice and thought, ‘Even my son can tell that Charmine thinks I’m stupid?’
Chris also reminded his father by saying, “I think Daddy needs to think carefully about why mommy
wanted to release those photos and also why she didn’t want your help. With everyone making fun of
her now, if you can understand her motives and support her with encouraging words, you’ll have a
unique ce i n her heart!”
Anthony carried Chris into the car and while driving, he pondered deeply. Charmine’s Guci photo
should have been enough to destroy Tiffany’s. Moreover, the sales must have doubled. No one could
have imagined that such a mess could have resulted from this…
Suddenly, he zoned in on the keyword ‘sales’ and his eyes swiftly zed over.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
