chapter 784
Wearing a pair of crystal high heels, Charmine gradually approached the door.
She wore a red chest wrap dress Anthony prepared for her, and it made her look utterly arresting. 1
Just as Charmine was about to stretch her hands to open the door, however, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out and saw the caller
ID disyed, [Kay].
Answering the call hesitantly, she was suddenly greeted with Kay’s desperate report, "Not good, Boss Jordan. Momo brought Annabel back,
and they''re both badly injured!"
Charmine’s eyelids suddenly twitched. ''They came back? And they''re badly injured? Had they not gone overseas?''
’How can Anthony and I announce our rtionship and face the iing problems without worry? What if Susan and her cohorts spotted
Momo and Annabel?''
She immediately hung up the call and texted Anthony, [Momo’s in trouble. Hold on, I’m going to go take care of Momo!]
She then turned to Waverly. "Something urgent came up. My apologies, but I’ll have to trouble you and my husband to take care of the issue
at hand," she blurted before running to the secret passageway and ran as fast as she could, not bothering about anything else.
Waverly frowned as she gazed at Charmine''s retreating figure.
Meanwhile, Anthony waited outside the door when Luke suddenly brought his phone to him, and on the
screen was disyed a message from Charmine.
His brows furrowed at that split second. ’Memo’s in trouble?’
Regardless of how perfect a n was, there would still be some ws in it. ■ How did something like
that happen?’
At that moment, the huge door slowly opened as Waverly, dressed in a chest wrap gown, came out
from it. Though made with a few simple pieces of silk, it was embellished with diamonds.
It was as though Waverly glistened the moment she revealed herself; she looked utterly appealing. 2
Despite that, Anthony did not look at her. He kept his phone and was about to march his way out of the
scene, but Waverly walked to his side and reminded him softly, "Charmine wants you to calm yourself
and keep the situation under control. She''ll take good care of Momo.
"Rest at ease, Mr. Bailey. Regardless of whether or not we get engaged, I’ll never marry you and stand
between you and Charmine.
"For now, the situation here is of priority.” 1
Waverly had never offered such a lengthy assurance. She held onto Anthony''s arm, and with each
step, they slowly walked forward
Anthony''s eyes turned dim, deeply in thought.
''Morno is in trouble, and Charmine has left. Am I really going to be engaged with Waverly? This is a
very grand ceremony. If everything here is set in stone...1 3
In deep thought, it did not ur to him that they had walked through the aisle from the room and
arrived at the long corridor of the scene.

Further ahead was the long corridor filled with fresh flowers where guests filled up the seats on both
sides. Everyone spun and gazed at the couple and gave their blessings, looking forward to the event.
Anthony’s footsteps came to a halt at the end of the corridor, and all of a sudden, he dropped Waverly''s
hand.
His behavior stunned the guests. ''What is Anthony doing?''
Just as dumbfounded, Waverly tilted her head and looked at Anthony. "Mr. Bailey, at most it''s only going tost for half an hour," she half-
whispered to him. ‘You just need to bear with it a little while more...”
Anthony did not answer her statement. Instead, he stretched out his hand toward Luke who was behind him.
Luke quietly ced the Alexander wedding rings into the pocket on his shirt, took out another box, and handed it over.
In that box was a pair of ordinary couples rings, and though they were costly, they bore no significant meaning.
Anthony took the female engagement ring and stuffed it in Waverly''s hand.
He said with a deep voice, "Something urgent is up. That''s all for the engagement ceremony for now." 4
He then took huge strides and left the scene.
The guests in the scene were baffled.
"What?!"
