Chapter 108


    “Okay,” Charmine replied in response to Chris.


    Anthony carried Chris and walked out. It was still raining cats and dogs outside, with frequent lightning


    strikes apanied by peals of thunder.


    It was clearly still daytime but feltte somehow like it was around six or seven in the evening.


    Charmine watched helplessly as the door closed. Her world seemed to calm down, bing peaceful


    again. She should have been overjoyed but instead, she only felt a sense of loss.


    There was still meat on the table, sizzling away. However, the house did not have a feeling of warmth


    anymore. Charmine was a little tired so she rested on a chair. She did not have any appetite to eat. At


    that moment, she felt even more disgusted toward Tiffany and Julian. She was disgusted at the man


    from five years ago. It was the two of them who had destroyed her.


    If only she had met Anthony first, everything would have been different. Unfortunately, she was now


    adverse toward all men. She has also been telling herself constantly over the years that once she


    made hereback, her only goal was revenge! Closing her eyes slowly, she tried to limatize to


    the deathly silence.


    At this moment, the front door was suddenly pushed open trom outside. Anthony who was carrying


    Chris in his arms came running back in. Charmine widened her eyes in surprise. “Why are you back?”


    she asked. ?


    “Didn’t you say before toe back only if there was official business to talk about? Right now, I’m


    here as the head of the Bailey Corporation. I’m here to discuss business with you,” Anthony said this as


    he ced Chris down before walking over to Charmine and handing her a contract.


    Charmine took it and had a look. It was a car modeling endorsement contract! Bailey Corporation and


    Mercedes were teaming up to host a grand national auto show. This auto show was going to be a


    tform for theunch of thirteen brand new car models, which included a gold sports car. All the


    participating female car models were among the best in the world, each of them top models with at


    least five years of modeling experience. She could not believe that Anthony would let a newbie like her


    participate in such a grand event!

    “Anthony, are you sure you want to abuse your power for personal gain?”


    “Ms. Jordan, you’re mistaken. As the head of the Bailey Corporation, I have a duty toward mypany


    to only hire the best models. Ms. Jordan, you’re currently one of the rising stars within the modeling


    industry. If I were able to hire you to make an appearance, it would be my honor. Furthermore, the


    Charmine nced again at the models’ name list and Tiffany’s name was there! Nevertheless, Tiffany’s


    endorsement was for the lowest grade car and her position at the auto show was at the furthest corner


    of the exhibition hall. Anthony really knew her well and could sense her concern.


    Her sole intention of returning to the country was to fully squash Tiffany in every way,pletely


    running her out of the modeling industry. Only when she was forced to the end of her rope would


    Tiffany finally show her true, hateful self and the Jordan family would finally see the truth. Moreover, as


    long as Tiffany was displeased, Charmine felt rxed in her heart.


    To allow Tiffany to y a supporting role and be second fiddle to her was currently the best way to tear


    Tiffany down. Charmine finally picked up a pen and signed her name with a flourish. Her signature was


    refined and elegant, a reflection of her personality.


    Anthony revealed a faint smile and kept the contract carefully. “As your business partner, sharing a


    meal to celebrate shouldn’t be an issue. Am I right?” he asked.


    “Of course it isn’t. There’s still plenty of details to be discussed!” Chris swiftly responded without waiting


    for Charmine’s reply. He then walked toward the table and sat next to Charmine, picking up his cutlery


    as he continued eating his meal from before.


    Anthony also took a seat across Charmine and started to pour some wine for them both. Raising his


    ss, he toasted, “Ms. Jordan, cheers to a happy working rtionship.”


    Charmine narrowed her eyes. These two were like her abductors, she could not get away from them…


    However, observing them both and seeing the piping hot food in front of her, the sense of loss she had


    originally felt was slowly reced by a sense of contentment.


    Oh well, she should just go along with it for now. Everything would be fine as long as the job went


    without a hitch. When she thought about Tiffany’s role as an essory to herself, her face lit up. She


    could not wait to see Tiffany’s expression when she found out. The day of the auto show would


    definitely be a bloodbath.
