Chapter 281
Meanwhile, at the Bailey mansion, Charmine was on a call.
“You don’t have to help me anymore, Charmine,” came Scarlet’s feeble voiceced with guilt. “Let me
go out and confess. A person like me should be dead, so don’t let me drag you and yourpany
down.”
“You’ll only drag thepany down if you die now! Do you know how much thepany has lost
because of you? If you really want to die, at least return seven billion to me before you do,” refuted
Charmine.
Scarlet was caught off guard by Charmine’s severe words. Seven billion… How could she have that
much money? Supermodels seemed like they were living the ideal life, but the truth was that they paid
high costs to buy gowns and expensive essories for every event. Normal people could get away
with wearing cheap clothes, but supermodels would surely get caught and receive terrible criticisms
online for it. It did not help that Scarlet had donated arge sum and even gave Johnson quite the
amount of money
Scarlet did not even have seven billion on her! If she died just like that, Charmine would be at a great
loss because of her…
Her dignity did not permit herself to do such a thing.
Charmine took note of Scarlet’s silence as she continued, “Don’t worry. I’ve people retrieving evidence
as we speak, and this will be resolved before Horizon Night. If you feel bad, just stay alive while
waiting.”
With that, Scarlet made a small sound of reply before she hung, still miserable and depressed. All the
netizens scrutinized her, Charmine, as well as RisingHawk. The situation was far tooplex at that
point. Could Charmine change their fate?
It seemed rather unlikely…
Charmine sat by the pond in the garden and absent-mindedly picked up a pebble and tossed it into the
water. She was no longer worried about Scarlet; she was more confused by her rtionship with
Anthony.
Could Charmine tell him the entire truth? She still had not told him that she was impregnated back
then…
Still, it did not seem to matter, given how determined and persistent Anthony was. Why was Anthony so
sure of her, despite only having met her not too long ago? Everything happened too fast, and Charmine
was not ready for it all… 11
Out of the blue, a red rose suddenly appeared before her eyes, and Charmine turned to see that
Anthony somehow managed to walk to her side without being noticed. He simply handed her a rose,
his gesture elegant and posh. “When you can’t decide, let God decide for you.”
Let God decide?
Anthony plucked the petals of the rose one by one as he spoke, just like how it was in a romantic film.
What would be left when he plucked out all of the petals?
Charmine stood up and dusted herself. “I’m not childish, and one should decide for oneself. This is a
serious matter, so give me two more months and I’ll give you an answer before our contract ends.”
Anthony frowned. Two months? It seemed rather long.Property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Nheless…
“Alright, I’ll be waiting for your answer.”
Since she would be staying at the Bailey mansion in the following two months, he had plenty of time to
impress her.
It was at that moment, however, that Charmine was reminded of McKenzie. “But why don’t I move
backt o Violet Vi in the following weeks?” Her eyes gazed into his. “I don’t want others to find out just
yet.”
“Don’t worry, today was just a coincidence, and I wasn’t prepared. When shees tomorrow, she’d
want to leave right away.” Anthony’s dark eyes seemed to harbor a small twinkle in them.
Charmine frowned. Did that mean he would do something to her tomorrow? McKenzie was one
stubborn woman, so how would she back off so easily?
Charmine was rather curious and could barely wait for the following day toe. 1
The following day hade, and Charmine sat in theputer room since dawn. She was nose-deep
in her research, armed with her headphones.
