Chapter 105


    Veronica had not left for long before Julian arrived. As soon as Tiffany saw him, she ran with chagrin


    into his embrace.“ Sniff, sniff. Julian darling, I’m so upset. I lost and have let you down. I wasn’t able to


    help you in beating my younger sister. Waah…”


    “Tiffany my dear, don’t cry. You should be worrying about yourself, not me,” Julian said sadly while


    drying her tears.


    Tiffany continued to weep. “I amount to nothing, it’s my sister that’s truly capable. I lost fair and square.


    However, the higher she climbs, the more Anthony will be attracted to her. When I think about this fact,


    I feel terrible on your behalf.


    My sister used to really like you but I don’t think she does anymore. After this win, Anthony will surely


    like her even more. I’m worried she might even hand over her diamond mines to Anthony. Even though


    you’ve known her for over fifteen years, you still can’t bepared in her eyes to Anthony who’s met


    her less than a month ago…”


    Julian’s face turned stony as soon as he heard this. Against all odds, Charmine turned her precarious


    situation around, shocking everyone. Anthony must certainly be more enchanted with Charmine now.


    As a result, Charmine could now breathe easily as Julian did not amount to much in her eyes any


    longer. ?


    He thought of something and embraced Tiffany,forting her by saying, “Don’t think too much about


    it. Take the next few days off and get some rest. Don’t go online or check the news. I’ll try toe up


    with a way to deal with Charmine. Don’t forget, I have something else in hand and I’m ready to release


    it when the time’s right.”


    “What dirt do you have on Charmine? Is it enough topletely destroy my sister…” Tiffany asked as


    she frowned.


    “Ah, this is a hole she dug herself into by targeting you over the past two days. Don’t worry about her


    any longer,” Julian said as he drew her closer into his embrace.


    Tiffany waspletely dependent on Julian in this matter, just like a helpless bird. However, her eyes


    were full of spite. The dirt that he had on her had better be enough to totally annihte her. All she


    needed was Julian backing here. It was more than enough.


    Julian felt her tiny frame shake as he held her and his heart ached. How could he not be in love with a


    woman who would always look out for his best interest with her whole heart? He must find a way to


    swiftly get rid of the fortune that hade into Charmine’s hand. Anything to give Tiffany an


    environment where she could feel secure and safe!


    From the window, a sh of lightning zapped past, followed b y a loud ‘bang’ as the sound of thunder


    roared. A heavy downpour of rain began falling from the sky. What was originally a scorching hot day


    turned into a storm in mere


    seconds.


    The bright moon could be seen through the mountains. The doorbell suddenly rang. Charmine walked


    to the door and looked through the peephole. She saw Anthony standing outside holding an umbre,


    and standing next to him was little Chris with his short stature. The rain was so heavy that even with


    the umbre, the rain was still pelting them.


    Charmine originally wanted to cease all contact with them but i n this situation, she could not help but


    open the door. “What are you both doing here?” she asked.


    “Mommy, we’re here to see you and celebrate!” responded Chris. He ran in, swaying unsteadily while


    carrying arge bag filled with things. Anthony, having closed the umbre, walked in carrying two


    bottles of red wine along with him.


    “What are we celebrating?” Charmine asked as she frowned.


    “Your victory over Tiffany by sessfully turning the tables to score a surprise win. This is a huge


    event. Of course, we should celebrate it.” Anthony replied as he walked into the house and started to


    unpack the contents of therge bag with his elegant movements. 1

    She never imagined that they would actuallye around to hers to celebrate with her. “Honestly,


    there’s no need for a celebration. I’ve won against so many people that I’ve lost track of the number


    and I’m going to continue winning in the future,” Charmine retorted dryly. .


    Anthony was speechless with her tone of voice and confidence. He responded in a deep tone, “Rx.


    In that case, we can just casually have a simple barbeque together since there’s nothing to celebrate.”


    As he said that, Anthony prepared the grill and moved on to take out the ingredients.


    There were premium quality cuts of pork belly, Angus steak cuts, T-bone steaks and ribs, Argentine


    lobster… Everything was prepared perfectly, ced in exquisite containers, and ready to be cooked


    right away. Charmine’s eyes widened as she saw the scene before her. ‘Is this what he means by a


    simple barbeque?’ she thought to herself. With all the quality ingredients in front of her, even a rough


    estimate of its value would be close to a million bucks. Even though she was wealthy herself, she was


    more frugal and would never spend money on such expensive delicacies.
