chapter 812


    Max would not have done anything that could injure civilians if he genuinely just wanted to take over the Jordan Group. Everything should


    have been purely legal businesspetition. 2


    Charmine would have been wounded or even died had she had poor reflexes at the construction site.


    Her instinct told her that Max hated her, that he disliked her from the beginning and came to attack her.


    Charmine''s gaze was cold like a frozen ice-mirror, ring as sharply as an X-ray, prating through the darkness of one’s deepest


    intention.


    Max had gone through many daunting experiences in life, yet her keen gaze still made him feel guilty.


    Taking a moment to regain his calm, he then replied lowly, "Perhaps Ms. Jordan is overthinking things-l''ve always been this way. You''ve


    obstructed Waverly''s progress, took my Jordown Group, and ruined my reputation. Such are the reasons why I hate you dearly, so much so I

    want you dead every second. To be honest with you, I wanted to destroy your face today so that you can never marry into the Bailey family.


    Anthony won''t even bat an eye at you once your beauty is ruined!"


    Charmine frowned. Everything made sense, usible indeed.


    Still, she felt that something was off. The hatred Max had for her was not built up in merely a few days.


    Not able to figure it out just yet, Charmine shrugged off the thought as she eyed Max. "Doesn’t matter if


    you don''t tell the truth. Eat this."


    She took out a pill and pushed it toward Max.


    It was a ck-colored capsule...much like a poisonous drug!


    Max frowned instantly. "Why would I?"


    ''This."


    Taking out her phone and cing it on the table, Charmine yed a recording that red through the


    speakers:


    "Argh! Save me! I''ll tell you-l''ll tell you all! It was Max D''Cruz! He asked me to do this... He wanted to


    burn your face...argh! Save me! I can’t take it anymore!"


    Max''s face darkened. He expected Amelia to have told the truth, but he did not expect Charmine to


    have recorded it. 1


    Was she using yet another evidence to threaten him?


    "Is this all you’ve got, Charmine!?"


    "It doesn''t matter, as long as it works!" Charmine kept the phone and red at him coldly, "You bribing


    people to hurt US, even though it failed, willnd you in prison for three months. If you don''t eat this pill,


    I''ll report you and send you to prison today!" ■


    Max''s eyelids jumped. Approximately three months? 1


    He was a well-known figure in Kansas. If he went to prison for three months, his reputation would


    crumble horribly!


    Charmineid back on the chair and reminded himnguidly, "Don''t worry, this isn''t a poisonous drug. It’s just a controlling drug. It’ll have


    side effects once a month, and you’ll experience excruciating and painful rashes all over your organs. As long as you don''t do me or Jordan


    Group any harm, I''ll give you the antidote every month on time. If you don''t listen to me, you will


    Hah!” 1


    Her cold voice resonated calmly, filled with an ominous threat.


    Max''s expression was ck like ink. Charmine wanted to use this drug to control him, and if he ingested it, he would not be able to do


    anything to Charmine or the Jordan Group!


    If he did anything, he would lose his life. His photos being leaked would pale inparison to this!


    He spat out one word after another through gritted teeth, "Charmine! Are you sure you want to be so cruel?" 2


    "I won’t be cruel if others aren''t cruel to me. If others are cruel to me, I''ll wipe them out!" Charmine''s expression shifted viciously, exuding an


    air of frost and deadliness like a bloodied warrior on the battlefield.


    Only if Max ingested this pill could the following days be slightly more peaceful. Only this pill could wipe things clean.


    She pushed forward the pill. "Eat it. You have thirty seconds!"
