chapter 977
It seemed that Charmine had to talk with those elderly men for a long while to be able to ess the
system.
He stroked her head by impulse. ''Thank you so much." His words, however, only made Charmine feel
guiltier.

The ess was indeed given to her by those men. However, she spent no effort in getting it. In fact,
Kay and his men even used this ess to wipe out all of the evidence.
Anthony would not be able to find out anything using this ess. She was merely trying to divert his
attention, to slow down the process, yet there he was-thanking her.
Hopefully, he would not have her head when he learned the truth. 1
When they got home, Anthony went to theputer room and used the most advancedputer to
log in and investigate.
With that, he spent the rest of the day working on it.
When Charmine saw that he was busy in theputer room, she left secretly and sent a text to Guy
and Hugh,
[Remove all evidence from the river as soon as possible.]
Anthony had arranged for his men to dig out the motorbike. Although there was no fingerprint left on
the vehicle, it would still be detrimental if the vehicle was brought out from the river. 1
Meanwhile, she had to find out the sword’s location so she couldplete her mission, and only then
could shee clean to Anthony.
Somehow, she had been having a strange feeling as if something bad was about to happen...
As expected, on the next morning, Anthony suddenly received a call.
"President Bailey, the motorbike was taken out from the river but someone burned it down over the
night. No evidence was left behind. Again, the footage waspletely destroyed this time."
Anthony''s drowsiness evaporated at that instant.
The evidence was wiped out again? No evidence was left behind?
Perhaps only a few moguls from the national security organization would be so daring.
National Security...
Somehow, his eyes fell on Charmine who wasying beside him.
Out of all the people he knew, she was the only one who had ess to the national security system.
Even though he was incredibly resourceful, this was not his sector. It would take time for him to gain
ess to it, yet Charmine could always easily get things done. 1
The sleeping Charmine sensed a pair of eyes staring at her. She had no choice but to open her eyes,
and a small frown appeared on her face." What? Did something happen?"
Anthony looked away and recalled all the events that happened inside his head. Suddenly, he asked,
"Are you in touch with the Cherny family?"
''The Cherny family?" Charmine frowned.
Why would Anthony ask this?
Anthony looked at her. "You and the Chernys made it to the most-searched list not long ago. The
person who stole the sword is likely to be from that family or someone rted to them." 2
Charmine panicked but remained calm on the surface. "Are you suspecting that I''m doing something
with the Chernys? You think I''m involved?"
Her tone was distant and cold.
Anthony exined, "Of course not, I''m just asking you for some clues. Or perhaps you know if anyone
among the Chernys is likely to have ess to the national security system?"
Charmine recalled her conversation with Grandma Bailey. She wanted Charmine to earn the approval
of the Cherny family, but at the same time, the Chernys had a marriage arrangement with the
Grangers.
If Anthony knew about it, it would be a stalemate.
For the sake of their future, Charmine had no choice but to meet his gaze." Do you think I’d know? I
don''t even know much about the Chernys yet."
It was true: She did not know much about the Chernys nor their background. All she knew of them was
through Grandma Bailey and that she wanted the red wolf''s bone from them.
When Anthony saw how calm she was, it seemed as if she was not hiding anything. He could not help
reaching out to ruffle her head. "My bad. Sleep for a little longer, I''ll get things fixed." 1
Charmine nodded, though she remained worried.
Anthony was already suspicious, and he had always been a sensitive person.
This must not go on like this. Perhaps she should work quicker...
