chapter 1790


    Senior Bailey, who was sitting on the seat, frowned with visible displeasure. He stood up stoically


    before he swept his gaze across those who spoke. "Annabel is fine, she''s staying at my Bailey


    mansion! Who said she was murdered? Please speak with evidence!"


    With that said, Grandma Bailey helped Annabel out into the open. She looked not at all hurt, all too well


    as she even had light makeup on.


    Nheless, her belly was slightly swollen, and it was quite obvious...


    Upon seeing Annabel, he then spoke into the microphone, his voice assertive, "We had Annabel carry


    a child so we could get the cord blood from the baby to save Chris. The child we were saving was


    Chris!


    "Five years ago, I was drugged and, against my will and conscience, bedded Annabel. However, I''ve


    taken care of Chris ever since he was born until we found Annabel, and I''ve done my best to care for


    her ever since.


    "Furthermore, Annabel returned to Burlington after Charmine and I were together. Back then, to cure


    Chris, Charmine epted Annabel and allowed her to get pregnant through in-vitro fertilization. She’s


    pregnant with my baby to save Chris!"


    Anthony spoke for a long while with guilt. He held Charmine''s hand and said to the crowd, "Today,


    Charmine also agreed to let Annabel stay in the Bailey mansion, and Charmine treated Chris as her


    own son. She won''t mistreat them both even after marrying me. The one who had to put up with


    difficulties and give up the most was Charmine, the one every one of you had been rebuking and


    ridiculing. From now onward, if anyone wrongly uses her about this matter, be ready for the


    consequences!"Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    His voice was cold, powerful, yet vehemently defending Charmine altogether.


    Chris, dressed in his little suit, chimed in, ''That''s right! Mommy treats me the best! She’s the best in the


    world. Charmine is my Mommy, and nobody is allowed to hurt her!" i


    Annabel, standing outside, spoke meekly, "Yes, something unsavory happened between President


    Bailey and I, but he''s always treated me well. He never forced nor hurt me. He made me feel the


    warmth of a family, so please don''t misunderstand him or wrongly use Ms. Jordan."


    Everyone was shocked.


    They were all speaking up for Charmine!


    Annabel might have been bribed or threatened, but a small child like Chris must be telling the truth!


    Charmine must have been kind for a young child to like her so much!


    Some women could not help tearing up at the sight.


    "Charmine didn''t have it easy. She was betrayed by Julian, and just when Boss Bailey started to fall in


    love with her, Annabel came back..." "For Chris, she even epted Annabel and allowed her to get


    pregnant again." "She even has to take care of Annabel now and be a stepmother." "She''s the true


    victim! I look up to her!"


    Anthony was guilty of this. He held Charmine''s hand as he concluded, tone deep with underlying


    threat, "Five years ago, although I was framed, this didn''t imply that I no longer have the right to


    deserve my true love. Today, if any intruder tries anything foolish, they''ll be wiped out!” "Well said, Bro. I


    support you!" yelled Nial, pping as he did.


    Joining Nial was everyone else, pping thunderously at Anthony''s deration.


    Waverly clenched her fists tightly.


    It was Charmine who was the cruelest, yet Anthony twisted the story!


    D*mn it!


    Still, a vague smirk spread across her face.


    So what if the crowd was convinced? 1 This was just the start!
