chapter 1017


    Guy, meanwhile, had his back turned to Charmine, though his eyes were wide open in the darkness.


    He had never been in so much pain before.


    Charmine was here merely for the red wolf bone, and she would leave right after getting it...


    Even though she used the dagger to force Anthony into letting her stay, she was using her life to stay


    with Anthony.


    Guy had never been envious of anyone. Anthony was a first.


    In the darkness, Anthony arrived outside the gate silently.


    Luke said in a low voice, "President, we''ve located the red wolf bone-it’s in the heavily secured


    basement set up with rms all around. ording to the results, there are many rms and protective


    machines. It’s dangerous. Why don’t we-"

    "Hmph!" Anthony scoffed and put on his ck mask. He went in the direction of the basement quickly.


    He had to get the red wolf bone before morning came.


    The moon up the tree slowly sunk as the sky turned into a brighter shade.


    Charmine did not sleep well. She had many dreams instead.


    Her newborn was tossed into the bin; five-year-old Chris'' face turned pale as blood oozed out from his


    lips as he muttered, "Mommy, sorry, I can''t be with you, you have to be happy with Daddy...”. Chris


    closed his eyes gently, and his little head turned down...


    No!


    No!


    Charmine opened her eyes abruptly and she heard someone knocking.


    She was in the bedroom in the Granger mansion.


    She thanked her stars that it was just a dream.


    Dior''s voice was heard from the outside. "Charmine, Charmine! Are you awake? The ceremony will


    happen at five, you may start getting ready!”


    Although the ceremony only had the two elders and less than ten rtives, they did it with a lot of


    effort. They decorated the hall and even prepared the traditional wedding costumes for them.


    Guy had woken up, too. He quickly stood up and tossed his nket at Charmine. "For the act," he


    muttered, blushing as he did.


    "Okay, don’t worry." Charmine did not mind.


    As long as she could get the red wolf bone, this was a small matter.


    Guy walked over to open the door, revealing Dior and the two elders outside, along with some maids


    with costumes at hand.


    When they saw the shared nket on the floor, they were delighted.


    So the bed brokest night, and they truly slept together. Perfect!


    Grandma Granger said, "You two go and wash up. Put on the costumes."


    A maid came in with the costume.


    Charmine said, "I''ll go get changed myself."


    "Okay, we like independent kids." Grandma Granger nodded with delight.


    Charmine went into the changing room. She looked at the sky outside and felt uneasy.


    Anthony said he would not allow her to get married to Guy. This implied that he would do something


    before the sky turned bright.


    What if he went ahead to steal the red wolf bone?


    She had learned about the machines in the basement. It was a heavily mechanical basement. Even


    Dior, Guy, and herself had no confidence in getting in safety, i


    They were done for if he triggered any of them!


    Her eyelids fluttered at that moment as if something bad was about to happen.


    At that moment... Knock, knock, knock!


    Someone knocked on the door, followed by Grandma Granger''s voice.


    "Charmine, have you changed? Guy ising in. He''ll get changed with you."
