chapter 588


    After cing Annabel on the bed, Anthony took two steps back.


    At the Jordan Group building...


    Charmine had her hands full with paperwork and various tasks. As she had picked all the materials, she would


    announce their coboration with the Bailey Corporationter in the afternoon, making Jordan Group the first


    The men sent by Anthony to sign the deal were Nial and his assistant, Luke. It was a big deal. 1


    Jordan Group, at this rate, was rising once more.


    Unexpectedly, Julian sent a few photos to Charmine.


    [Check the news, Charmine. This is the man you like.]


    Charmine clicked open her WhatsApp and saw Julian had sent her photos of Anthony with Annabel. It was either


    Anthony walking toward Annabel quickly, Anthony carrying on Annabel, or Anthony carrying Annabel into the


    wooden house.

    The small Annabel was covered in blood, like a wounded sheep in Anthony''s arms. They both looked like the


    prince and the princess from a storybook, Anthony''s face looking apparently concerned.


    Charmine, initially pleased with her day, soured in an instant.


    She had not seen Anthony carrying another woman before. Other than herself, Annabel was the only


    other woman Anthony had ever carried.


    This was only the third day, and the two of them were already touching one another. If in seven days...


    Julian texted again,


    [Charmine, you''re just a cigarette Anthony smokes in his leisure days, a toy in his free time, and he’d


    let go of you whenever. Are you sure you want to waste your youth on him?]


    [It’s better to find out who’s worth your love before anything happens. Are you sure you want to destroy


    the Cabell family? Do you really have to destroy me?]


    Charmine was already annoyed, but after reading these texts, her eyes dulled even more. She sent,


    [I''d rather be a toy of a lion than to have any contact with a stray dog! Get lost!]


    Charmine blocked Julian''s contact before tossing her phone away andid back on her chair.


    She knew this was all part of Julian’s n, but the images of Anthony carrying on Annabel constantly


    resurfaced in her mind.


    If the wounded woman was someone else such as McKenzie, Anthony would not have cared or carried


    her.


    It did not matter if it was his n or not. The truth had proven that Annabel was special to Anthony. 1


    Meanwhile, a notification from Messenger popped up. The profile pic was Anthony''s.


    Anthony was sending her a text?


    After a moment of hesitation, she clicked the text open.


    [Anthony: Annabel tripped by ident, and I had no choice but to carry her, but I did so with gloves. If


    mydy is still angry, feel free to punish me.]


    That surprised Charmine. Anthony was that fast to report what happened to her, and he even went to the extent of


    wearing gloves?


    She clicked open WhatsApp and used a recovery app to find the photos sent by Julian.


    She saw that Anthony was indeed wearing a pair of ck gloves in the photos.


    He said the truth, after all...


    Her uneasy heart began to calm down slowly.


    [Anthony: I''ll let Nial stay in the house. I hope that''s not against the deal?]


    Her two elderly parents, him, and Chris could not take care of Annabel, so it only made sense for someone else to


    stay over with them.


    Charmine wanted Anthony to get along with Annabel without having additional people around, but after Annabel''s


    ident, there was no going around the fact that she needed a doctor in the house.


    After a moment of thought, she replied, [Okay.]


    Anthony, who was on the other side of the phone, frowned. Just that?


    Charmine would usually reply to him with more than just a simple word. He sensed something was wrong and


    instantly clicked on the video-call option.
