Chapter 421
Chapter 421 Throughout Anthony‘s—and Chris‘–stay in Charmine‘s home, Charmine always managed
to surprise him. Every revtion about her made her seem even more mysterious. Anthony had never
met any woman who could interest him, all while remaining a mystery to him. Charmine‘s red lips
curled upward as she teasingly remarked, “What about you?” Three nonchnt words, with a hint of
interest in wanting to know more.
Anthony met her gaze. “What about me? Are you interested?” “Nah!” Charmine took another sip of her
wine. “Never mind, let‘s eat.”
Of course Charmine did not want to show that she cared for him and liked him. Men were a strange
species; women would get easily dumped the humbler they were. If she acted like she did not care,
meanwhile, a woman would not get hurt.
Charmine, throughout the years, had built up a defensive wall that safeguarded her heart. While she
epted Anthony, she would not show it. Anthony noted how Charmine evaded the question, and he
was reminded of the time he asked for a fraction of her attention. If she was unwilling to give him 50
percent of her love, how much could she give?
She was avoiding the topic, and he knew it.
It was obvious to him how her demeanor toward him had changed for the better...yet why would she
still dodge questions about admitting her feelings? Nheless, Anthony was in no hurry. Anthony took
some food for her. “What do you have in mind after this?” “After this...” Charmine‘s eyes darkened.
Tiffany‘s reputation would bepletely ruined sooner orter; there was no chance for her to salvage
anything. After this, she did not have to do much. At the thought of a furious, livid Tiffany, Charmine
sipped her winenguidly. “She should‘ve known the costs of her actions.”
Her tone was low and dark. Anthony refilled Charmine‘s empty ss with more wine and raised his
own. “Anyway, here‘s a toast to you.” “Thank you.” Charmine clinked her ss with his and took
another sip. Although she had made Tiffany diposed several times, this time meant differently. It
would take less than 10 days for Tiffany‘s true colors to be exposed. Charmine looked forward to it.
She finished the red wine in her ss, very much in a good mood as she continued to feast.
Kay, who watched over Charmine from outside the vi, received a call at that moment. “Kay,
remember to tell Charmine that the wine‘s alcohol level is different from before. It‘s much stronger. Tell
her to drink less!” Kay frowned. “I‘m afraid it‘s toote...” Charmine ate and drank continuously–one
had to admit that the wine handmade by a professor like Uncle Pop was indeed different. It has a sweet
and cooling texture, along with asting aftertaste. It was as thirst–quenching as a fruit juice.
The more she drank, however, the dizzier she got. Her vision became blurry as Anthony, from one,
turned into two, and three... She was having a double vision!
Was she drunk?
Charmine would usually not get drunk drinking Uncle Pop‘s wine, thus she eyed Anthony doubtfully.
“D–Did you drug my wine, Anthony?” “Am I such a man in your eyes?” Anthony refuted.
Charmine had noeback to that.
Of course not.

Anthony had plenty of chances should he truly want to take advantage of her, yet he never did.
Perhaps she genuinely was drunk. Just as the thought urred to her, Charmine‘s body went soft as
sheid down on the table.
Anthony put down his fork and walked over to carry her back to the room. Finally, Chris jumped up from
the sofa and ran to the second floor to open the door for them. Once Anthony walked into the room, he
heard a loud ‘click‘ from outside.
That sound..
That was Chris messing with them again, no doubt! Chris always liked to make things, including an
anti–opening device. Once the device was secured on both sides of the door, the people inside the
room would not be able to open the door however strong they were.
