chapter 618


    Senior Jordan looked at Charmine concernedly.


    He found out about what happened when he asked Adam to investigate Charmine and Anthony’s rtionship.


    He could not step in; he wanted to let the two youngsters sort it out themselves. Little did he expect this to have


    He looked at Charmine andforted, "Charmine, I already know what''s going on between you and Anthony. It''s a


    bitter rtionship to you both. If you''re upset, you’re wee to cry in front of Grandpa. Grandpa won''tugh at


    you.”


    Charmine was swamped with work for the past few days, and hearing that from Senior Jordan filled her with


    warmth.


    "I''m fine, Grandpa,” said Charmine. "I''m not at the stage to cry yet. I’m thinking of how to make things right."


    "Make things right, huh? Sigh... To be fair, nobody is at fault in this situation, no matter it was Annabel or Anthony.


    God was at fault; fate, I mean. Charmine, you have to think carefully. Don''t let anyone down, and don''t let yourself


    down. No matter what decision you made, Grandpa and your parents will support you," assured Senior Jordan with


    a caring andforting tone. 1


    Charmine frowned. ''Nobody is at fault’, ''don’t let anyone down'', and don’t let herself down...


    If she was to be with Anthony, she would let Annabel down. If she let Annabel have him, she would


    disappoint Anthony and herself. 1


    What choice could she make?


    Inside the bamboo house.


    The white bandages wrapped around Annabel''s head were tainted by blood.


    She had fainted, her face pale and anxious. She was like a small white flower that would wither with the


    wind at any given time.


    Nial sighed. "If this went on, Bro, do you think...”


    ''There''s nothing to think about. Send men to protect her," Anthony scoffed and walked away.


    Nial sighed as his brows furrowed. Not only had they not found Annabel a job, but she was also openly


    frowned upon and was hurt. If this went on, the problem would only get more severe.


    When Anthony walked out the door, he looked chillier than usual.


    Chris suddenly ran up to him. "Daddy, Daddy! I know what Auntie Annabel can do at home!”


    "Don''t mess around, and ask Luke to send you to school. You can''t keep missing sses,” said


    Anthony.


    "I''m not messing around. I''m helping my stupid Daddy fix his problem! Last night I contacted my friend


    Mark Jones, and he can help Auntie Annabel!” answered Chris as he found their chat history and


    showed it to Anthony.


    Anthony thought Chris was messing around, but reading their texts made his eyes glimmer faintly with


    hope.


    The Jones family was a ginseng supplier that was looking for a new piece ofnd to nt ginseng. Thend where


    Annabel lived was perfect for nting ginseng.


    They only needed to ship the things to this ce and let Annabel take care of them.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    That was a ster idea.


    Anthony reached out to ruffle Chris'' head. "I''ll ask them to deal with it. Be good and go to school."


    "No way! There''s a very important matter for you to deal with. Didn’t you realize that Auntie Annabel''s parents are


    away? I think they''ve gone to find Mommy! Mommy didn’t pick up my calls, so Daddy...you have to find Mommy!"


    Chris warned him. 1


    Anthony frowned. Annabel''s parents went to beg Charmine?


    Charmine had been unstable for the past two days, even to the extent of wanting to give up. If they went to beg


    Charmine...


    Damn it!


    He no longer cared whether Chris went to school or not. He marched forward and raced away in his car.
