chapter 1565


    Charmine learned that her fiance was in cahoots with her sister in framing her. When she was on the


    verge of breaking down, she met Anthony. He gave her reasons to live on. He treated her well, loved


    her, cared for her, and showed her that there was love in the world. When she was finally opening


    herself upto him and started believing in this man, he cheated on her.


    Maurice thought of how strong she stood tall these days. He felt his heart shrinking.


    How did she get weather through all that storm on her own?


    Maurice gazed at Charmine with his clement eyes. He was worried about this youngdy. His throat


    was burning, and his voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Gem, don’t think too much. As you said, your


    environment made you who you are today. We don’t need romantic love in this world: We''ve got


    friendship, family, and our career. You''ll have a better future!" "Yeah." Charmine thought of the


    disgusting things Anthony did, and determination shed across her eyes as she dered, "I only want


    to focus on my career for now." "Good." Maurice looked at her with a new sense of admiration.


    "If there''s anything in the future, Gem, you can speak to me about it. Don''t hold it all to yourself."


    Charmine nodded.


    Both of them then chatted away to distract themselves.


    That night.


    Anthony drove home after he was done with work, but he somehow ended up driving in the other


    direction.


    When he finally snapped out of his trance, the car had pulled over in front of Charmine''s vi.


    He looked up to see that both vis were dark.


    Charmine and Maurice were not home yet?


    Did they not finish filming early? Did they go on a date?

    His thin lips curled into a mocking smile. He red at the two vis next to one another.


    They even bought houses together, and they were even going on dates?


    The thought of Charmine spending time with Maurice made Anthony''s heart sink.


    Even though Anthony knew he should wish her the best and be happy that she had found a good man


    that even he trusted, seeing that they were so happy together still made his heart ache.


    Although this was inevitable, could this not have happened slower, a littleter?


    Anthony rolled down his window, thoughts running rampant as he lit up his cigarette and narrowed his


    eyes at the two vis. He wanted to see howte they woulde home.


    He was worried about Charmine not being able to fall asleep again tonight...


    Thus began Anthony’s wait, and somehow, it was already three in the morning. Both of them had yet to


    return, too.


    Unless, Charmine and Maurice went to a hotel to...


    Anthony could not help to overthink. Finally snapping, he phoned Luke and ordered, "Find out where


    Charmine is and tell me within three minutes." "Yes, Sir!" answered Luke.


    Within three minutes, he called Anthony once more. "Boss, Mrs. Baileypardon. Ms. Jordan is at the SN


    Diamond Mine, but..." "What?" Anthony barked. "Speak!" "At about seven in the evening, there seemed


    to be andslide-"


    Beep.


    Anthony hung before Luke even finished his report.


    Anthony''s heart sank, and he quickly drove toward SN after hanging up.


    D*mn it! How could he be so stupid!


    Why did he not realize earlier that Charmine was in trouble since she did note home earlier!?


    Please be safe, Charmine Jordan.


    Otherwise, Anthony would never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
