chapter 1813


    Anthony opened his eyelids and gazed at Charmine, who was below him.


    Oh, how he wished to continue this to have their first time.


    However, he recalled how much hurt and hatred she showed when she thought about that incident.


    He dared not to, and he must not.


    The lust in his eyes slowly vanished. Just as he was thinking of a way to end this, urgent knocks were


    heard on the door.


    Following that, a maid’s urgent voice was heard, bleating," Master, Mistress, we’ve got a problem! Ms.


    Annabel is in trouble!"


    Charmine snapped out of it, and the lust in her eyes instantly vanished.


    Annabel, in trouble?


    Anthony frowned in displeasure.

    He could only leave onest kiss on Charmine''s lips and hoarsely said, voice soaked with repressed


    desires, "I''ll take you tonight, dearest."


    Charmine, meanwhile, felt conflicted. Why was it always cut off when she gave in?


    Anthony got out of bed and said, "I''ll go and have a look.


    You get some rest here."


    Charmine got off the bed and said, "I''lle with you.”


    She took her clothes and put them on. She quickly freshened up and went out with Anthony.


    When they arrived on the first floor, they saw Grandma Bailey and Senior Bailey there. Susan was


    there, too.


    The maids by the side formed a line, and every one of them looked terrified and uneasy.


    Annabel''s weak figure leaned on the opposite sofa. Her palm -sized face was pale like snow.


    She seemed even weaker than yesterday, looking utterly frail.


    Not a peep was heard in the living room, and the entire atmosphere felt heavy and serious. 1


    Anthony and Charmine exchanged nces when they arrived in the living room.


    "What happened?" said Anthony, his deep voice breaking the silence.


    Grandma Bailey said, "Annabel had diarrhea and said that her stomach is hurting. Why don’t you and


    Charmine bring her to the hospital?"


    Charmine frowned.


    Diarrhea and a stomachache?


    Senior Bailey''s serious face grew even more serious as he questioned, "What else did you eatst


    night? How did this


    happen?"


    Annabel leaned on the sofa weakly. She cautiously looked at Charmine and said, "No...nothing..."


    Her fear-filled gaze seemingly told that she coincidentally felt ill after eating what Charmine got her, but


    she dared not say it out loud.


    Out of the group of maids, Fanny finally could not hold her silence and spoke up, "Madam, Sir, check


    no further.


    Actually, I brewed Ms. Annabel a bowl of sea cucumber soupst night. After having it, she started


    having diarrhea in the middle of the night."


    "Fanny, stop talking," Annabel scolded Fanny. "It doesn''t have anything to do with Ms. Charmine. Don''t


    make things up.”


    Fanny did not stop, however. "Madam, Sir, I suspected the sea cucumbers given by Ms. Charmine to


    Ms. Annabel.


    However, Ms. Annabel kept insisting that it has nothing to do with Ms. Charmine. She was in pain the


    entire night."


    The usually gentle Annabel broke out into a panic as she insisted, "Fanny, I asked you to stop talking!


    My body is weak; it has nothing to do with Ms. Charmine!"


    "Haha!" Susan crossed her arms andughed coldly. "And here I wonder who''d be so kind as to give


    gifts to her nemesis. She’s got a n!"


    Charmine’s red lips curled up coldly. "So, you thought I had a n to harm Annabel?"


    Susan looked at her while retaining her elegance, but her tone was cold and disgusted. "Fanny said


    that she gave Annabel your sea cucumbers before she was ill!"


    Anthony frowned as he looked at Susan coldly. "If you insisted that Charmine did it, do you have


    evidence? I know


    Charmine, and she''d never do this!"


    "That’s right,” Grandma Bailey chimed in, "Charmine would never do such things!"
