chapter 970
Charmine''s internal alert bell rang inside her. She only had one thought in her head: she was done for
good, 1
If Anthony found out about this, it would be so hard to exin!
She instantly clung to the bathing robe tightly, plucked out the infusers on her, and tried to get out of
bed.
Guy was awakened when he detected movement. Noticing Charmine getting out of bed, he said
nervously, "Ms. Jordan, you can''t move! You have a fever as high as 39.7 Celsius, and you must stay in
bed to get treated!"
"Don’t worry, I''m fine." Charmine got out of bed, put on her shoes, and eyed her surroundings.
The box of the sword was ced not far away, and the sky was turning bright.
She had to rush back to the Jordan mansion before the sun got out. Nobody should realize she was not
in during the night.
She went over to get the box when Guy quickly said, "I’ve phoned the Chernys. They’lle in a
moment, so please wait a little longer."
Charmine, who was in a rush to leave, stopped when she heard Guy''s exnation.
If the Chernys truly came, she did not have to go to them to hand over the sword.
However, she did not know how long she had to wait, and she hoped they woulde swiftly.
Seeing that she was impatient, Guy asked suspiciously, "Is there something urgent? I can help."
"No need,” Charmine sat down on a sofa by the side. She lifted her hand to check the time.
It was past five in the morning.
Anthony would wake up at six, and he might contact her.
She did not even bring her phone. If she did not reply to him, he would grow suspicious.
However, she must personally hand the box to the Chernys. She did not trust Guypletely. 1
Guy sat on the stool by the bed. He knew she was in a panic and he wanted to help her, but he did not
know how to. He did not know what to say.
Even though he really wanted to speak to her, he could not seem to find a topic.
He sat there and became somewhat nervous.
The room was quiet.

Meanwhile...
Hugh and his fifth son, Phil, were rushing toward Guy’s house.
Phil could not helpining, "Dad, didn''t you say you gave a mission to Charmine to retrieve the
box in exchange for the red wolf’s bone? Why did she disappear and Guy took up the mission
instead?"
Guy, in their phone call, only mentioned that he and his friend got the sword. He did not specify that it
was Charmine, so they all assumed that it was Charlie.
In this sense, after Charmine had epted the mission, she hadpletely disappeared without a
trace!
Hugh scoffed mockingly, "What a woman! What can we expect?"
He thought Charmine would be different from other women. He was willing to give her a chance to
challenge herself. Who would have thought she was just a nobody! 1
On another note, Charlie was quite impressive.
He thought of how Charlie fought, thus he said to Phil, "Find out who this Charlie guy is. He seems
alright and very skillful. The seven of you should learn from him."
"Don''t worry, Steve is already checking him. With his skills, he should be able to find Charlie''s
address," assured Phil, i
The Chernys always liked to be acquainted with kind and powerful people, just like Charlie.
Thinking of Charmine, Phil scoffed, "Dad, don''t you ever bring that kind of woman to our training base
again. She dirties our ce!"
Hugh did not speak-he agreed with that.
The car pulled over at Guy’s house.
Different from other mansions, Guy''s house was a simple one-story house in in white.
The two of them walked in and saw Guy boiling water.
Phil asked suspiciously, "Guy, where''s your friend?"
"She''s in the room. She had a fever from swimmingst night. I’m boiling water for her," replied Guy as
he walked in with the hot water.
Hugh and Phil suddenly respected this friend so much.
He was only a friend of Guy’s and actually risked his life for the Cherny family?
