chapter 996


    Charmine frowned. She asked suspiciously, "Why?'' ''To be honest with you, that red wolf bone doesn’t


    just belong to the Chernys; me and Guy''s father found it. However, he''s mostly at sea, so the bone is


    kept in the Cherny mansion. I phoned them up earlier to let them know that I''m giving the bone to you,


    and while they agreed to it, you''ll have to marry Guy,” Hugh exined patiently. 2


    Charmine''s eyes narrowed. To get married to Guy?


    "Not happening. Mr. Cherny, I told you on the first day that I was married with a child."


    ''That’s why I said that I can''t let you have it for now. You need to think it through," replied Hugh.


    Charmine clenched her fists. 1


    That meant they would not give her the red wolf bone until she married Guy, did it not?


    How was she supposed to exin everything to Anthony without the bone? 1


    She asked, "Didn''t you tell the Grangers about my past? I told Guy that we won''t work out. The


    Grangers deserve someone better."


    "Charmine, what era are we in? The Grangers aren''t narrow-minded people.


    They checked on you and said you have potential. They admire independent women like you, and they


    don''t mind about your family or your past with Julian. As for your rtionship with Anthony, they knew


    that the child isn''t yours. Even if he is, the Grangers voiced out, The woman that even Anthony fell for


    is unique.'' They want you. So, I think..." 1


    Hugh sighed. "I''m stuck in the middle. I''m a man of my word, but they took the bone away. If you don’t


    want to be with Guy, the Cherny family will owe you a favor." 2

    His tone was hopeless and apologetic.


    If Hugh was the one not letting her have the bone, Charmine could still beat him up. However, Hugh


    made it clear that he did not have a say in


    this. What else could she say?


    "I understand," came her simple reply.


    With that, she turned and walked away.


    Hugh gazed at her back as he called out, "You can consider Guy, Charmine. He''s a good man. The


    Granger family is of the national navy service.


    They''re good people, unlike the Baileys. Being with Guy will make you happier than being with


    Anthony." 2


    Charmine did not even turn back as she marched out, only speaking with conviction as she got to the


    gate, ''There are many good men in the world, and I can only love one!" 1


    Her cold tone was wild and arrogant.


    Phil was eavesdropping outside. He did not expect Charmine toe out so soon saying that.


    His respect for her instantly heightened. This cousin of his truly was admirable!


    Not only was she beautiful, but she had a stunning personality and a bold way with her words!


    So many people in the world dreamt of marrying Guy, yet Charmine was unwilling to and stayed loyal?


    Goodness. What an idol!


    Charmine drove out of the Cherny mansion, restless as she did.


    She failed to get the bone. How was she supposed to tell Anthony everything? 1


    She was busy for nothing in the past few days!


    She thought she could officiate their rtionship once she got the bone. They could get married


    publicly, and it would be worth all the troubles. 2


    Little did she expect this to happen...


    If Anthony found out about her contact with Guy, he would be so mad!


    He might want to kill her... 1
