chapter 727


    At that moment, the saleswoman finally came with the jacket and handed it to Waverly. She wore the jacket and walked up to Anthony.


    "President Bailey, I can help you, and I don''t need anything in return."


    Anthony eyed her as she stood before him, his eyes darkening as he did.


    She was indeed a suitable candidate. If it was her, even the Houston family would not be able to fight against her.


    However...


    "What are you nning?"


    Anthony did not believe Waverly would help him without anything in mind.


    "My brother and my family are forcing me as well," exined Waverly, if I announce to them that we''re in a rtionship, I''ll be able to take a


    breather as well." 2


    She spoke with such honesty that her elegant face showed no hint of dark intention nor calction. 1


    Anthony thought through it before his lips parted, "Alright. Let me ask for mydy''s permission."


    With that said, he walked aside to dial Charmine''s number.


    Waverly was speechless.


    He would ask for hisdy''s permission?


    Was President Bailey that much of a henpecked man?


    Charmine, meanwhile, was making all sorts of preparation.


    She wanted to leave so Susan could not find her, but as she thought it through, they would someday


    meet anyway. There was no use in escaping.


    With that idea scratched, what should she say when they meet? Should she act tougher, or slightly


    gentler?


    She was Anthony''s mother, after all...


    As Charmine''s thoughts overtook her, the phone rang suddenly.


    After picking up, she heard Anthony saying, "Mydy, I have two ideas. Firstly, we officiate our


    rtionship. With me around, nobody can harm you. Secondly, Waverly can, and is willing, to act as my


    partner, and this is to remove suspicion."


    When Charmine heard that, her brows furrowed.

    Officiate their rtionship?


    Putting aside how unprepared she was, Annabel''s situation was not even stabilized yet. it was not the


    right time to officiate the rtionship yet.


    Moreover... The second idea was to put on an act with Waverly?


    Charmine could not quite ce it down, but Waverly raised red gs in her mind. Even though Waverly


    had detoxified Annabel, something felt off about her. 1


    Despite her suspicion, Charmine could not ce her finger on what it was.


    Judging the situation at hand...


    Charmine thought for a moment and said, "I''d pick the second one." 2


    She had known Anthony long enough to trust him. He was willing to donate his heart for her; it would


    be impossible for him to cheat on her.


    As for Waverly, even though she did not feel good about this woman, she could spend some time to know her better and see what her true


    intention was.


    However well the fox hid its tail, it would get exposed one day.


    Meanwhile, Susan''s car was stuck in the traffic as the ident was not cleared up yet. She had no choice but to get out of her car. She was


    dressed in a tight dress with a fur scarf on, allowing her bodyguard to hold up the umbre for her. She looked like a wealthy wife.


    Susan''s eyes seemed cold and haughty, one that could only be seen in people from the upper-ss society.


    Everyone got close to Anthony for his money.


    Hmph! She sent Annabel away ten years ago. Ten yearster, she might as well send Charmine away!


    With that in mind, she saw a familiar figure through the window. The tall and well-built man sat on the sofa inside the boutique with legs


    crossed, looking very noble and elegant.


    A woman, meanwhile, twirled before him as if asking, "How do I look?"


    The man nodded.


    Even though she was a few meters away, Susan could tell right away that he was her son.


    It was Anthony!


    Anthony was in there? He was apanying a woman to shop for clothes?
