chapter 831
Still baffled by the sudden turn of events, Luke took the chance to help Susan get into the lift and closed the door.
Susan wanted to speak, but it was already toote.
Once she left, the corridor became silent.
Anthony looked at Charmine by his side, and he hoarsely coaxed, "My mother''s vision is blurred and short-sighted. I hope mydy doesn''t
take her too seriously.”
His tone showed that he was concerned about her getting angry...
A faint warmth spread throughout Charmine as she yfully spoke, "Are you not going to seriously consider what your mother said? I can’t
"If you’re actuallyparing yourself to that kind of woman, I think you''re in need of a lesson," he replied huskily. Suddenly, he lifted
Charmine''s head by her chin and kissed her passionately. 2

The kiss was so arrogant, it seemed like a punishment.
Feeling her lips aching, Charmine quickly pulled herself away.
"I was just joking! Let''s get down to what really matters right now. What do you think your mother would
do after getting back?"
"Don''t worry. With me by your side, nobody can harm you." His low voice sounded powerful and
threatening.
To Charmine, however, he sounded immensely warm andforting.
Anthony was right. No matter how bad the situation could get in the following days, they could face
anything so long as they were together. 1
Charmine was not a woman who would chicken out easily!
She took out her phone and phoned Kay to instruct, "Use the people of the Dragoul. Move out Annabel
and Chris, and protect them at all costs."
"Understood!" Kay instantly went ahead to make arrangements.
The Dragoul was a confidential organization specialized in guarding some very important figures and
attended international conferences. Since Charmine had once conquered them, they looked up to
Charmine. Thus, as long as they had no mission, Charmine could use them all she wanted.
On the same day, Annabel and Chris were secretly moved to Violet Vi where the third floor was
transformed into a hospital.
Nial watched and said with satisfaction, ''The most dangerous ce is also the safest ce. They
shouldn’t be able to find this out in a short time."
"Yeah. Thank you for ensuring Annabel''s safety in the following days," said Charmine to Nial.
The people of Dragoul and Nial were in there... Annabel and Chris should be quite safe.
Meanwhile, everyone in the Bailey mansion was in shock.
Senior Bailey, Grandma Bailey, Darryl, and the rest sat together, asking with disbelief, "What did you
say? Anthony is with Charmine?"
''Yes! I saw it myself, and Anthony also admitted it. He''s always been with Charmine, and his
engagement with Waverly is just pure decoy!" answered Susan hurriedly. 1
Senior Bailey mmed the table angrily. "How could he do that? It''s bad enough he brought home a wild son, but now he wants to be with a
nobody too?!"
"His younger brother brought home a well-cultured heiress, yet as the Bailey family''s patriarch, Anthony wants to marry a model? A model
who was once engaged and dumped?" Darryl was furious.
Grandma Bailey held her chest, trying her best to stay calm. "Everyone, please calm down. Don''t you all know Anthony''s temper? The more
we insist, the more he wants to fight against US. He was born rebellious, so we need to be soft when dealing with him!"
"Mother, what do you mean?” Susan asked, perplexed.
Grandma Bailey then replied, "How did you send that Annabel girl away? Do the same. Any woman who got close to Anthony is up for his
money.
There’s nothing in the world that can''t be solved with money!" 1
"But... But Charmine is the second wealthiest in Burlington, and she owns a diamond mind. Perhaps she might not be easily persuaded..."
Susan was concerned.
"I''ll speak to her myself!" remarked Grandma Bailey. 1
Everyone in the mansion was shocked.
Grandma Bailey would speak to her personally?
