chapter 1656
Chris frowned. "Let me think of a way to release the snake."
If he released it here, the snake might slither in a different direction. If they came any closer to release
the snake, Charmine might notice it.
This was a challenge, no doubt.
All he wanted was for his parents to stay together. Why was it so difficult?
Chloe reached out to pat the snake before she bent and released the snake. "Don''t worry, Chris," she
assured Chris as she stood back up. "It won''t go away; it''ll slither in the right direction."
Her statement baffled Chris, but just as he was about to argue on it, he noticed, in shock, how the
snake truly slithered where they wanted it to go- toward Anthony.
Chris watched on in shock, rooted on the spot, and he only reacted a whileter.
How was this snake so tame? What was this?!
Meanwhile...
Charmine, still on the grass, was video-calling her staff regarding work- rted matters when she
heard it: the sound of something hissing.
It sounded like it was getting closer, and closer.
This was a snake, alright.
Charmine narrowed her clear eyes and looked around.
She then spotted a snakeing toward them quickly from a few meters away. Itsrge jaws parted
widely, its small body was positioned as if it was ready to swallow the entire world. Its dark, beady eyes
red at Anthony.
It looked like it would eat him alive!
Charmine’s breathing stopped. She internally debated with herself whether or not she should grab the
snake by its tail.
However, this snake was fierce-looking. Its eyes seemed deadly, and its movement was swift. Before
she could touch it, it had climbed Anthony''s body, stopping right next to Anthony''s arm.
It opened its mouth and hissed, looking as though it was about to bite him!
Charmine''s eyes darkened as she looked around. There was nothing around her that she could use to
attack the snake.
She tried to catch the snake again, but the snake quickly crawled away.
She frowned and nced at Anthony, who was still unconscious.
Charmine did not want to watch over him that frequently, but the snake might attack him at any given
moment. Chris would be upset if that happened.
Furthermore, she did not want to owe him anything.

With nothing else she could do, Charmine used her knee to push his arm, yet he showed no signs of
waking up.
Pressing her lips into a thin line...she bent and lifted Anthony to his feet.
All the while, Anthony had still not regained his senses. His body was fully rxed, allowing Charmine
to carry him anywhere.
cing his arm around her shoulder, Charmine instantly felt like a mountain weighed her down.
Shooting Anthony a bitter stare, Charmine wound her arm around his waist as she brought him into the
small house by the side. Upon entering, she apathetically tossed him onto a nearby sofa before closing
the door.
Anthony should be safe for the time being, no?
With that, she sat by the side and continued working on her phone.
When Chris saw Charmine and Anthony inside the same space, he knew his n was halfway done, i
With another thought, he turned to Chloe. "Chloe, let''s go and find Auntie Dior." "Alright!" beamed
Chloe. "Wait for me, Chris!"
She bent down and patted the grass. Just like that, the snake she had released instantly slithered back
to her.
Chris was stunned on the spot, his expression morphing into utter disbelief as he stood. "Chloe, did the
snake just listen to you?"
It was just like before. When she released the snake, the snake went right toward Anthony but did not
attack him!
"Perhaps the snake likes me." Chloe did not exin it as she patted the snake and ced it back on
the grass where it crawled back to its cage.
Chloe then stood up and said to Chris, "Chris, let''s wash our hands and go." "Okay."
Meanwhile, by a stream...
After Anthony humiliated her, Zoe ran to toss stones into the stream.
D*mn it!
What was so good about Charmine? Did Anthony have to be so dense?
