chapter 1903


    What did Charmine do? Charmine was always the root of every conflict with Susan. She was the


    reason for their arguments, and this strained her rtionship with Anthony! 1


    Susan became more furious as she thought about it. She red at Charmine and growled, "I have to


    wonder where you got the courage to gamble on your marriage! You even have to win three rounds to


    win thepetition! Pfeh! You truly are ignorant!


    "No matter, though-l hope you lose! I won''t have to face such a cruel daughter-inw every day-" "Shut


    up!" Anthony snapped at Susan, his face contorting darkly in his anger as he did. His tall figure loomed


    before Susan, seemingly imposing as he stood.


    His fury-filled eyes were fixed on Susan as he said, "If you insult Charmine again, I''ll cut all ties with


    you!"


    Susan was intimidated by her son''s burning, sharp stare.


    She merely wanted to embarrass Charmine, but it would not be worth it if this resulted in Anthony


    cutting all ties with her.


    With that, Susan attempted a smile and stered a gentle expression on her face. "If you care about


    thepetition so much, go on! Annabel will wait for the doctor to get here. But if anything happens


    and anyone says anything about this, don’t hold me responsible for it."


    Her simple words gave Charmine a lot of pressure.


    Charmine was the only person who could help Annabel. If she neglected her now and anything


    happened to Annabel, nobody would know what might happen! 2


    If anything happened, people on the inte would hound her down for not saving Annabel!


    However, it was almost ten, too...


    At the top floor of Light za.


    It was only eight in the morning when people filled up the venue, causing the ce to be rather


    congested.


    Everyone was curious how the all-rounded mogul Charmine wouldpete with the tech-mogul


    McKenzie, and who would emerge victorious in the end.


    Since Charmine dered that she could only win if she won three rounds, everyone wanted to see how


    she could defeat McKenzie in all three challenges.


    Some even ced their bets on thepetition.


    "Come on, time to ce the bet!"


    I''m betting on Charmine to win. The odds are one to ten; what a bargain!


    One to ten!" "I''m betting on McKenzie to win! The odds are one-to-one! One-to-one!"


    However...


    Even though the odds for Charmine to win were one-to-ten, not many people betted on her.


    Even though she had always been so powerful, McKenzie was the No.1 Heiress in Burlington after all.


    She was ster in everything she did and well -cultured. She was far from a terrible contender!


    No one believed Charmine could win in all three rounds. If she lost any one of the rounds, she would


    lose thepetition!


    Under the assumption that McKenzie would win everything, many people ced their faith and money


    on McKenzie.


    It was ten minutes to ten.


    The door to the lift opened...


    McKenzie gracefully walked out with a few assistants in tow.


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Dressed in a beige dress and with her hair curled into beautiful, voluminous rolls, she strutted forward


    in her ten-centimeter heels.


    McKenzie looked untouchable.


    A few maids surrounded her. One held up the umbre for her, another held her bag, and another


    fanned her.


    There was no mistaking that unreachable wealthy heiress outlook McKenzie had on her.


    Everyone gathered around her upon her arrival.


    "You seem calm, Ms. McKenzie. You must be confident about thispetition, huh?" "Can you


    disclose what thepetitions are going to be?"


    McKenzie stopped and looked at the reporters coldly. She then spoke elegantly and proudly...
