Chapter 338


    “The in-in-sight troubles can be easily solved, but the anonymous threats are the hardest to fight


    with. You can’t take this risk! Don’t be foolish!”


    The four elderly men tried to talk Charmine out of her decision.


    The adamant Charmine merely offered a small smile. “Don’t worry. However foolish I may be, I’ll still be


    able to protect myself. Even if I can’t, I still have you all, as well as Kay and his men!”


    It was apparent, with what she said, that she chose Anthony.


    “Charmine Jordan!” Uncle Pop called out her full name with a serious tone.


    “Alright, alright,” ushered Charmine, “I know what I’m doing. It’s gettingte, though. I’m only twenty-


    three, and I’m not getting married till I’m at least thirty! It’s gettingte; go and get some rest. There are


    guest rooms upstairs.”


    “Charmine, we need to talk to you—”Uncle Larry wanted to continue.


    Charmine looked at the time and said, “It’s already one in the morning. How am I supposed to fight Uji


    Quinter on if this prolongs? If I don’t get enough sleep, I’ll lose the match and will hate myself for it. I


    won’t have the heart to prepare for the Go match, and no heart for the research…”


    “Hey, hey, hey! Alright, alright! We’ll stop talking! Go and get your sleep. We’re not in a hurry!”


    “Do think about your rtionship wisely! Do consider! Carefully consider it!”


    “Go, go, go. Goodnight!”


    The four elderly men stood up and ran out of theputer room as each of them found themselves a


    guest room.


    Charmine smiled helplessly at their retreating forms. She would have pulled that trick earlier had she


    known it would have worked wonders, instead of letting them go on and on…


    She went back to her bedroom andid down on her bed when she felt a cold prick on her neck.


    Charmine brought her hand up, only to feel the ne on her neck given by Anthony. She


    remembered how she tried to get rid of it, but she gradually forgot about it and unconsciously wore it


    ever since…


    She hesitated to continue with Anthony, but upon listening to what her Uncles had to say about him, it


    was like a wave of relief that washed over her. No wonder Anthony acted strangely when the topic of


    Chris’ mother was brought up. Such a big man, bedded by another


    woman? Who would be able to say that out loud without feeling embarrassed?


    Since Anthony was bedded by another woman before, Charmine saw them as equal. Nothing made


    her fret anymore.


    She and Anthony-equal!


    The thought of it brought a smile to her face as her eyelids gradually closed.

    Charmine had the best sleep she ever had for a very long time.


    Morning came, and Charmine’s phone rang at the bedside. It was a video call from Chris.


    Charmine sat up and answered the call. Instantly, she could see Chris’ adorable, round face as he


    waved at her happily. “Mommy, Mommy, I saw the news! You’re the person in the news, right?”


    “Huh? What news?” Charmine was confused.


    Chris continued , “Lord of Honors! Someone deposited a billion bucks to challenge Uji Quin, and


    everyone’s making guesses on who it is. Daddy and I both agreed that this is something Mommy would


    do! It’s Mommy, isn’t it?” gushed Chris as he blinked with his adorable doe eyes, just like a curious


    Teletubby.


    Charmine frowned. How fast did that spiral to the news? Should she tell Chris? If she told him
