chapter 862


    Anthony remained cold and calm as he shot Susan a cold re. "Are you all not turning against me now?"


    His cold tone was full of power, his tone housing an apparent hint of usation.


    Susan felt her chest hurting. "We did all that for your sake! Charmine isn''t good enough for you-she''s nothing close to Waverly!"


    "You don''t have a say in whether she''s good enough or not. I''ve made my message clear: If you insist, ready yourselves for a


    whole lot to pay." 2


    With that, Anthony turned and left.


    The enraged Darryl mmed the table. "You''re turning against us! You''ve changed...! You''ve changed!” 1


    He seldom came home, yet he came home to threaten them?


    ording to his tone, he would actually transfer the threepanies to Charmine?


    Each of the threepanies was worth more than the entire Jordan Group!


    Grandma Bailey sighed. "This is what love can do to a person; this is how youngsters behave nowadays. To be fair, I''ve never


    seen Anthony acting based on his feelings. I think we should tone it down slightly, and let’s speak when he''s calmer." 1


    "You''ve all spoiled him! You''ve shaped this bad temper of his from a young age!" Senior Bailey scoffed


    angrily. He threw away the fork and left.


    Only God knew how he thought they could finally dine as a family. s...


    Susan was livid. She put in so much effort, yet she was not understood?


    Still, Grandma Bailey was right. Anthony was fuming, and he had to cool off. 1


    At the vi.


    After sorting out the situation, Charmine spent most of the day sleeping. With adequate sleep, she


    prepared a full table of dishes with Chris.


    Waverly was in the living room, unable to react for a long while.


    She thought the Divine Bird Project would be over, but how could


    Charmine forcefully turn things around? Also, Charmine knew that many moguls?!


    How did she meet them? What had she gone through in the past five years?


    A woman who was raped and yet was backed with support from various people?


    As she was caught up in her thoughts, the door was opened.


    Anthony hade home.


    Removing his suit and hanging it on the hanger, he walked inside the house elegantly.


    Chris rushed down to wee him right away.


    "Daddy, you''re finally back! You''re in luck today! Mommy is in a good mood, and she cooked US a pot


    of pepper crabs!"


    Anthony frowned. A pot of pepper crabs?


    Could crabs be eaten that way?


    Who would cook crabs with pepper? Was Charmine uneducated?


    At that moment, Charmine brought out a pot of pepper crabs, grinning at both Chris and Anthony. "Oh, dear. I was ying with


    my phone and forgot to keep a close eye on it. It’s overcooked..."


    The crabs in the pot she carried had turned to ck when they should have been red. They smelt overcooked.


    Waverly smiled. "Don''t pretend as if you can cook if you can''t. The overcooked food contains benzopyrene, and it can cause

    cancer." 1


    With such a professional warning, Anthony would surely look down on Charmine. He might even me Charmine for trying to


    harm him! 1


    Little did she expect...


    Anthony walked over to receive the pot from Charmine and looked at the food inside.


    ''The crab shell is burnt, but the meat is still edible!"


    "Righto! Let''s eat!"


    Chris ran over happily to prepare the cutleries.


    Charmine was quite upset. As it had been a while since she prepared a meal, she did not expect her crabs to turn out like this.


    There were so many crabs, and she spent so much effort cleaning and preparing them. She was prepared to bin them all, yet


    Anthony did not seem to mind?


    ''Why are you still stunned? Afraid of cancer?" teased Anthony as he reached out to caress her face.
