chapter 586


    From the corner of his eyes, Julian spotted a Guci portrait of Tiffany and Charmine on the wall of the second floor.


    Tiffany, in that photo, wore a crisp yet dainty outfit as she sat on the neck of the mingo, seemingly innocent and

    pure.


    The haughty, sophisticated Charmine behind Tiffany donned a bright red outfit that fluttered in the air.


    In contrast, Tiffany''s appearance waspletely neglected-her beauty was not even a tenth of Charmine’s.


    How blind was he to have liked Tiffany in the past? Why did he think Tiffany was more suitable to be his wife?


    Even he did not expect such an evil heart was concealed behind Tiffany''s sweet facade.


    As for Charmine...


    His mind drifted to how Charmine was in the past. She used to dress crassly, but there was no denying that sweet


    smile of hers. 1


    Day after day, she would follow behind him, calling his name with a sweet voice:


    "Julian, please like me."


    "Julian, I made this breakfast for you with love."


    "Julian, I saw a newly opened couple''s yground! Can we please go together?"


    He loathed her back then, but at this moment, the Charmine back then only had him in her eyes. She


    only liked him.


    s...


    Charmine was with Anthony, and she even made Anthony block the Cabell family from everything,


    resulting in their bankruptcy!


    Julian raised his head and gulped down a few more mouthfuls of beer.


    If it was not for Tiffany, had he not treated Charmine poorly, none of this would have happened.


    Charmine was meant to be his, but she no longer spared him a nce even. She hated him and


    destroyed his family!


    Julian, who was once high-above, had not a single asset that came close to this woman!


    No... No! He could not be so easily destroyed; he would not be everyone''s joke; Charmine would


    belittle him no more!


    He wanted the Cabell family to get better, and he wanted to show Charmine that he was no weaker


    than Anthony!


    She liked Anthony, did she? She thought Anthony would marry her? Julian would show Charmine that


    the only man that would have her hand in marriage was him! 2


    Crash!


    The ss bottle was smashed against the floor and shattered into pieces.


    It symbolized his intention to bring them down with him.


    In the following two days, Charmine met up with a representative from the Bailey Corporation and went


    to their storage to hand pick the more suitable materials for the Jordan Group. Anthony, meanwhile,


    lived in the wooden house with Chris, working and maintaining a cold distance from Annabel.


    On the third morning, McKenzie was in herb when the screen of her phone by the side lit up.


    It was a text from an unknown number.


    [Ms. McKenzie is so calm, is she? Charmine and Anthony had a deal, you see, that if Anthony has no feelings for


    Annabel after ten days with her, he''d marry Charmine on the eleventh day. Today is already the third day.] 3


    McKenzie’s hand that held a test tube trembled. What inside story was this?


    She thought Anthony was protecting Annabel, worried that anything might happen to Annabel, or perhaps helping


    her get used to her new job. She did not expect him to have such a deal with Charmine!


    She typed a reply instantly, [Who are you? Are you sure this is true?]


    [Very certain. Charmine''s cousin, Amelia told me. You better do something now, or you''ll end up like me. - Julian] 4


    McKenzie''s eyes darkened. Julian?


    Charmine’s ex-boyfriend, Julian Cabell? Sure, he was not one of the Baileys, but him finding her phone number


    was an impressive feat on its own.


    If in ten days-no. If in seven days Anthony was to marry Charmine, she was afraid that...


    Her fists clenched tightly. None of that nonsense would happen, not in her watch!


    "Do what I tell you to do,” she snapped to Miranda who was by her side, her voice calctive and dark.
