chapter 591
Charmine''s eyelids jumped. These reporters were all gossipers- professional gossipers. She was done for if they
knew her rtionship with Anthony.
Meanwhile, another reporter asked, "Ms. Jordan, President Bailey, why did youe to this deal? Is there
something between the two of you?"
Seeing how Anthony was about to answer, she lowered her head and took the chance to answer, "Please don’t
specte nonsense. President Bailey and I are purely business partners.”
Business partners?
A sh of unnoticeable darkness appeared in Anthony*s eyes.
Purely business partners?
Was Charmine that eager to wash herself clean from him?
Someone then asked, "How did Ms. Jordan seal this deal with President Bailey? Isn’t it impossible for most people
to meet President Bailey?"
"I went to the Bailey Corporation to discuss the deal," Charmine cleverly replied, "and President Bailey was merely
impressed by the Jordan Group''s proposal. That''s it.”
Her tone was professional and business-like, not even sparing Anthony a nce as she answered.
Anthony’s eyes narrowed. ''That’s it’? How embarrassed was this woman of their rtionship?
Was he such an embarrassment to her? 1
A bunch of reporters asked, some even directed the questions at Anthony.
"President Bailey, is that true about what Ms. Jordan said? Were you merely impressed by their
proposal? Why did youe to this small press conference in person?"
Charmine''s heart thumped rapidly. If Anthony said anything that he should not be saying, it would be
over.
Reluctantly, she eyed Anthony as she weakly kicked his leg below the table.
The drapery covering the table perfectly concealed the small act beneath the table.
Anthony''s gaze sharpened as he felt Charmine kicking his leg. He said to the reporters, "Ms. Jordan
and I..."
With that, he paused intentionally.
Charmine was terrified by this, maintaining a faint smile as she pinched Anthony''s thigh.
It was hard for people to not assume things if he kept pausing for a dramatic effect!

Anthony felt a stinging pain on his thigh.
His eyes darkened again. How dare Charmine pinched his thigh!?
Did she not know that one should not simply pinch a man’s thigh?
Despite the sharp pain on his thigh, Anthony''s face remained cold and unchanged, stoic as he was.
"Ms. Jordan and I are purely business partners," he finally answered through the microphone.
A man and a woman partnering for business.
With that said, he continued, "The Bailey family will fully support the Jordan family from now on.
Whoever goes against the Jordans will be going against the Baileys. Please be warned."
After that, he pushed the microphone away, making it apparent that he was unwilling to answer any
more questions.
He then stood up and reached out his hand to Charmine. "Ms. Jordan, looking forward to working with you."
Charmine felt her heart thrashing around as she eyed hisrge hand, yet she had to put on a calm and
unperturbed face as she stuck out her own.
"Looking forward to working with you."
The reporters captured their handshake, and the photo of them both became viral all over the business world and
inte.
From on onward, the Jordan Group would get back on its feet. Those who tried to stay away from the Jordans
began hoping to establish, or re establish, their connections again.
The losing Jordan group had regained their glory!
Inside the office...
Charmine asked everyone to leave and asked Anthony to stay back under the guise of signing the contract.
Looking at Anthony who was sitting on the sofa, she asked, "Why did youe in person?"
"Why? Am I not weed?" Anthony asked, raising an eyebrow.
Charmine squinted at him. Of course he was not weed.
It was strange for someone like him to show up on such a small asion. It would be suspicious.
