chapter 948


    Charmine squinted at Hugh as she spoke, "I know we haven''t been in touch for many years. It''s quite


    difficult for you to acknowledge me as your rtive, and I can understand if you do not ept me, but I


    hope Mr.


    Cherny can reconsider the red wolf bone. Let me know what it takes for me to get the bones. Just


    name your price. As long as it’s not killing someone, I''ll do it."


    The other reason she came to the Cherny family, after all, was to get the red wolf bone.


    "I don''t have anything for you to do,1'' replied Hugh. "Go home for now, I''ll get in touch."


    His tone was thick and determined.


    Charmine grew suspicious. He was willing to talk earlier, so why the sudden change of demeanor? 1


    s, there was no point in trying to argue nor stay any longer with his final words.


    "Alright, I''ll leave now. Do get in touch with me," she said politely before standing upto leave.


    Hugh watched her retreating form as he started thinking.


    It was not long after she left when Guy returned to the resting lounge.


    He had changed into a clean set of camouge costumes, and with his face and hair cleaned up, he


    seemed more handsome than before.


    When he saw that Hugh was the only one left in the lounge, he frowned." Have you two finished talking


    already. Uncle?"


    "Yeah, it''s no big deal. Just a small matter. Come over and sit.” Hugh pushed the tea cup at him.


    Guy walked over and sat down. He lifted the cup and drank listlessly, all while his gaze averted to the


    door.


    Hugh burst outughing at his behavior.


    "Oh, Guy. All these years, you’re unwilling to find a wife and get married. We’ve been pestering you for


    seven years, since you were twenty to now, twenty-nine. Have you finally made up your mind?" 1

    "NO...I just... I just feel thedy was nice. I only admire her." Face reddened, Guy lowered his head and


    took another sip to cover up his sheepishness.


    Hugh patted his shoulder. "I''ve been in your ce before; I know what you''re thinking. However, there''s


    no hurry in this, and it’s quite a challenge as well. Don''t get your hopes too high for her. It''s unlikely for


    you two.”


    "Okay."


    Although Guy agreed, his eyes still lingered at the direction Charmine went. He could not help recalling


    how Charmine kicked the guard away.


    Watching Guy zoning out, Hugh could not help recalling what Charmine said to him. He frowned.


    Perhaps it was yet another un-fated love...


    Hopefully, Charmine could hold up to his test and be the person the Cherny family approved of.


    Meanwhile...


    After leaving the Cherny mansion, Charmibe was recalling the changes shown by Hugh as she drove.


    From inviting her to sending her out, the change was too abrupt!


    She did not know what he was thinking. If he did not ept her and did not agree to give the bones to


    her, what could she do?


    She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she had arrived at thepany.


    It just so happened that she had to sort out a few matters rted to thepany anyway, thus


    Charmine went in.


    When Brandon saw her, he said, "Boss Jordan, you came at the right time! Someone came here for


    you, and he''s now waiting in your office."


    "Hmm? Who''s that?" Charmine walked toward her office as she asked curiously. 1


    "I don''t know either," said Brandon, "and he insisted on meeting you. Since he''s of a powerful


    background, we had to let him in." Charmine was perplexed. Of a powerful background?
