chapter 1143


    Why did William do it?


    A sudden gust of cold air tingled down her spine just as she had the thought.


    It felt as if someone was staring at her from the back, incredibly forbidding.


    Charmine instinctively turned to look and finally noticed that Anthony had somehow walked to the


    balcony. His cloudy gaze observed her keenly with an ominous temperament.


    She was so terrified that her hands jolted, and her phone nearly fell.


    "An...Anthony...why are you here?" "If I''m not here, how would I know that my wife is secretly talking to


    another man behind my back?" spoke Anthony, his re aimed at her before itnded on her phone.


    His gaze felt sharp and thorny; it was as if her phone was a rival of his. 1


    Charmine felt somewhat guilty. She was just talking regrly on the phone, yet he treated her as if she


    was cheating on him...


    Unfortunately, Uncle Sam did not have a good hearing and thus did not overhear Charmine talking to


    Anthony as he continued, "Oh, Charmine, look at how much William loves you. For you, he researched


    so much on the poison, and now he’s starting to look at the documents to help with the blood project.


    I''m just saying...why don''t you consider being with William? With his family''s support, they might be


    able to pressure the Grangers into giving you the blood you needed obediently!" 1


    Charmine was speechless.


    This was the first time she wanted to pluck out the hairs of Uncle Sam''s beard.


    "I have things to do here..." she gulped. "Talk to you next time..."


    Charmine instantly hung up then, yet Anthony''s temperament grew more menacing.


    Consider being with William?


    Talk to him next time?


    His gaze narrowed malevolently. "Charmine, what are you going to talk about with Uncle Sam next


    time?"

    That tone...


    The guilt-ridden Charmine hastily exined, "Don''t misunderstand us. I just wanted to provide some


    ideas for Uncle Sam." ''William likes you that much?" Anthony asked instead.


    It was as if he did not hear Charmine''s exnation as he instead asked pointedly.


    It was cut to the chase.


    Charmine was speechless.


    The truth was right there before them, and there was no point in denying it.


    After a moment of thinking, she decided to change the topic altogether." Don’t Waverly and McKenzie


    like you a lot, too?" i


    Anthony squinted and countered, out of the blue, "So William is always pulling tricks on you, always


    trying to find opportunities to be with you?" 1


    Charmine halted. Anthony turned this against her!


    If Waverly and McKenzie always tried to be with Anthony, then William would do the same!


    She wanted to deny it when she suddenly had a shback, back to three years ago...


    It was not long after the Uncles rescued her, and they prodded her to discover her potential before


    realizing she was good at many things. They even ced her and William for a project.


    Incredibly gentle and considerate, he took care of her during working hours. After work, when he saw


    how she was always alone and nking out, he would apany her under the guise of numerous


    work-rted excuses.


    She used to suffer nightmares those days, dreaming of Julian and Tiffany pushing her down the stairs


    and kicking her stomach.


    Whenever she woke up from the nightmares, she would always see him in his room across hers with


    the lights turned on for her...


    Her shback was cut when she heard footstepsing toward her.


    Charmine looked up to see Anthony approaching her.


    Ah, curses. Shended herself in hot soup!
