chapter 833


    Anyone else would have panicked If it was someone else, the person would have panicked.


    However, Charmine remained calm. She took out a check and wrote out two hundred billion and one before pushing it to Grandma Bailey.


    "I''ll pay one extra buck to Grandma Bailey. I hope you’ll allow me to be with Anthony."


    The usually calm Grandma Bailey felt her eyelids twitching. "Are you insulting me, Charmine?"


    "Aren''t you insulting me, Grandma Bailey, insulting love?" Charmine looked into Grandma Bailey''s eyes.


    Her response stunned her.


    After a moment, she asserted, ‘Two hundred billion is more than the worth of the entire Jordan family. This is also the sum of money I can get


    after selling out all of my shares of the Bailey family. I’m hoping to negotiate with you, so I hope you''ll appreciate my gesture!"


    Charmine looked at her in the eyes as she calmly expressed, "Grandma Bailey is determined, willing to give out all of your shares to ask me

    to leave, while I''m willing to give out all of my shares to be with Anthony in my determination. You should know how determined I am,


    Grandma Bailey."


    Grandma Bailey saw the determination in her eyes; one that was tough as diamonds.


    She had a feeling that Charmine was not in for the money....


    She eyed Charmine for a good while before she took back her check, asking coldly, "Charmine, do you


    know what it means to insist on being with Anthony? Do you know what you''re going to face? The


    Bailey family is very powerful!"


    "I understand, and I wee it all." Charmine''s red lips curled up, politely and confidently.


    She exuded a stunning beauty from within her bones as if nothing could harm her at all.


    Grandma Bailey looked at her and was slightly taken back. She had not seen a woman with such


    courage and confidence like her before.


    "As a woman, I admire you and respect your courage. As a senior, I still insist that you''re not good


    enough to be with Anthony. Since you''ve made your choice, I hope you can endure whates next!"


    Grandma Bailey pronounced each word clearly before standing upto leave with her walking stick.


    Charmine stood up and opened the door for her, politely responding, "As Anthony’s girlfriend, this is the


    basic respect I should be showing you. As a woman, I think Grandma Bailey is overly rigid. What''s


    more important than marrying a partner of the same background is mutual love-the support and


    feelings between the two. What''s the point of two peoplecking feelings for one another, hoarding a


    pile of gold?" 3


    Back stiffening for a moment, Grandma Bailey eventually walked out of the vi as she spoke,


    "Feelings can be developed. Waverly''s looks and personality aren''t worse than yours. Anthony will fall


    for her eventually!"


    With that said, the door to her car was shut and the vehicle drove away.


    Charmine gazed at the fading-from-view vehicle, her red lips curling into a small smile.


    ''Feelings could be developed''?


    Background and wealth could all be created.


    What Waverly had that she did not was her D’Cruz family.


    Charmine would soon triumph over all!


    Inside the luxurious car...


    Grandma Bailey lowered her authoritative facade as the female housekeeper, Dorothy massaged her temples.


    She sighed deeply. "Truthfully, Charmine is a good woman. She''s nothing like those fake women out there, and she''s got potential." 2


    "Is Grandma Bailey saying...you''d allow them to be together?" Dorothy tried asking.


    Grandma Bailey sighed again. "A shame that the Jordan family is too small. However powerful Charmine is, it’s her alone. How can she


    support Anthony? The danger that the Baileys are about to face is only able to be solved by a big family like the D''Cruz family..." she spoke


    as she rubbed her own temples, eyed closed in tiredness. 4


    Dorothy did not understand.


    Grandma Bailey suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes were no longer soft like it was just seconds ago. "Give me the number of the


    person in charge of Derby Eway Factory," she demanded coldly.


    Dorothy instantly understood. Between her beloved grandson’s feelings and the family matters, Grandma Bailey had chosen thetter.


    Getting in touch with the Derby Eway Factory meant she would attack Charmine.
