Chapter 235


    There was nothing between Charmine and Anthony; they were not even in a rtionship. Why bother


    complicating things? Furthermore, they were going their separate ways in two months ‘ time, and they


    would not have anything to do with one another by then. It would only be a joke if anyone found out


    about their ‘status’, of sorts.


    Of course, she could not say such things in front of Chris, thus Charmine carefully articted her


    words, “Well, you have to take care of Momo, and the alley is around five hundred meters. April will


    apany me. Let’s talk about this when Momo gets better.”


    She emphasized herst sentence to remind him: Everything would be over when Chris got better.


    Anthony’s eyes darkened and did not insist further. “Take care of her,” he said to April.


    “Yes, Sir,”came April’s dutiful reply as she walked over to hold up Charmine’s long tail of her gown.


    Charmine waved at Chris. “Momo needs to be good, alright? Wait for Mommy at home.” With that, she


    threw a goodbye kiss at Chris.


    Chris hastily reached out his chubby small hand as though catching the kiss that floated to him. The


    boy’s face seemingly brightened as though he truly caught the kiss. “Alrighty! Be careful, Mommy!”

    Charmine nodded before marching ahead. Anthony felt a strange sense of jealousy looking at Chris’


    little fist that caught the flying kiss…


    The alley was situated at the back of the venue, sandwiched between two tall hotels. The ground was


    even, so it was possible to walk the path even in high heels. Still, Charmine had to intentionally slow


    down her pace so April could catch up to her. If it were not because of her three-meter long gown, she


    would have walked alone. April could feel Charmine was waiting for her, and it impressed her.


    Apart from the times when she spoke to Chris, Charmine was usually quiet, and it emitted an aloof and


    cold aura. When it came to small details, Charmine seemed to be much more considerate than the


    other celebrities who appeared gentle on the surface. Even so, these were not enough for a woman


    like Charmine to be with Boss Bailey!


    The two of them walked toward the venue, with one in front and one in the back. As they turned the


    corner, however…


    “Arf!”


    Arge brown Tibetan Mastiff suddenly rushed out. The mastiff was a meter tall, coated with a


    generous, thickyer of fur. It seemed burly and strong, and it carried a strong semnce with a fierce


    lion!


    Before the pair could react, the mastiff suddenlyunched at Charmine’s direction!


    “Argh! Be careful!” April cried out instinctively as she grabbed on Charmine and sheltered her to the


    side.


    Charmine, too, jumped away instinctively the second the mastiff leapt to her. The mastiff became more


    furious as his targets got away. It gave out a heavy bark as itunched again at a high speed like a


    monster.


    “Run!” April cried out with an almost cracked voice as she grabbed onto Charmine and started running.


    Anthony and Chris were still out there. Mr. Bailey could get rid of that mastiff if he was still around!


    Nheless, how could outrun a mastiff? The mastiff would catch up to them in less than five seconds.


    The most terrifying part was that when they turned back and ran, the entrance of the alley was blocked


    by a tall ceramic jar all of a sudden. There was no way out of this alley!


    Just as they reached the end of the blocked alley, they turned back to see the mastiffunching at


    them, only less than two meters away. Its jaws hung open, a bloody scent wafted from its mouth.


    The usually calm April broke into a cry out of panic. A huge mastiff like this-even with just one scratch-


    could rip their flesh and damage them physically. It would be no lie that half of their brain could be gone


    with just one bite of the mastiff, along with their lives!


    What to do? What to do?!


    Charmine had a serious expression on her face as she scrambled toe up with a n in a short


    time.


    Not far away from the alley, Kelly Mn watched as the mastiffunched at Charmine with an evil smirk


    on her lips. Hah! How dare Charmine snatched herpany’s resources? This was the price she had


    to pay for! She even snatched her gown, huh? Well, she might as well die in that stolen gown! Kelly


    would attend the Night of Glory morously, and would walk the stage to receive her No.1 Supermodel


    Award!


    The mastiff was getting closer and closer to Charmine. It opened its bloody jaw, its pointy ws aimed


    at Charmine’s body.
