chapter 1921
Charmine felt off when she noticed Annabel''s stare toward her. "Don''t be afraid to speak up," she
insisted.
Susan, however, scoffed. "You made it sound easy. Didn''t you see the way Annabel looked at you?
She''s so afraid that she doesn''t even dare to speak up! What I think is that you did something to her!"
"Shut up!" Grandma Bailey had an evident glower on her face as she snapped, "Listen to Annabel!
Annabel, just say whatever that happened."
Annabel, despite her initial hesitance, slowly regained herself, knowing that things had reached a
certain point. Thus, she carefully chose her words and exined, "Please don''t misunderstand Ms.
Charmine. She’s very kind to me and will never hurt me. I looked at her because..."
She turned toward Charmine before she continued, "Ms. Charmine, I heard from you that the
superbikes malfunctioned due to added gasoline. I then remembered how your uncle had been
suspiciously close to the bikes yesterday, raising my doubts. I went to question him in the morning and
saw him burying a bottle with gasoline inside! I took a photo of him, but he snatched my phone from me
and pushed me over. This is why..."
Hearing Annabel’s exnation, Susan sneered. "I knew the Jordans were terrible. He’d harm his own
niece, too! How embarrassing!" "Shut up!” Senior Bailey red at Susan. "No one will think you’re
dumb if you just keep your mouth shut!"
Susan, true enough, zipped her mouth out of fear when she saw just how irked Senior Bailey was.
Charmine looked at Annabel, wanting to verify her exnation. "Is it true, what you''ve said?"
Annabel said innocently, "I won''t lie to you, Ms. Charmine. It is true."
The butler then chimed in, supporting Annabel''s confession, "I saw Ms.
Annabel leaving early in the morning. I did ask her about it and she said she might''ve found out who
harmed Ms. Charmine. She''s worried that the person might cause you more danger, so she went over
to have a look. She didn''t want to use the wrong person, so she took the risk herself."
This new reveal stunned everyone.
Annabel would risk her safety, almost losing her baby in the process, to protect Charmine from harm?
Everyone looked at her with a newfound sense of admiration and inclination.
Hearing how kind Annabel was, Grandma Bailey sat by her bed and held her hand. "Don’t think too
much. As long as the baby is fine, you should rest more. Well sort this out." "Do take care," added
Senior Bailey. "Let the nurse know what you want to eat."
Annabel nodded weakly. "Thank you, Grandma Bailey, Senior Bailey."
Charmine looked at Annabel and frowned. She did not expect Annabel to be so kind and considerate.
Her tone softened, "I''ll sort this out for you."
She then turned to Grandma Bailey and Senior Bailey. "I''m sorry for what had happened. I''ll sort this
out."
Grandma Bailey nodded. "Alright, Charmine, do what you want. We won’t step in."

They trusted Charmine that she knew what needed to be done, thus trusting her enough to not insist on
the matter.
Anthony instructed Luke, "Lock up Felix Jordan for me."
When everyone heard this, theyforted Annabel.
"Don''t worry, Charmine will help you." "That''s right. Don’t worry, and get better soon."
Tears brimmed at Annabel''s eyes when she saw just how considerate the Baileys were toward her.
She said emotionally, "Thank you, everyone...so much. Other than my family, nobody had ever treated
me so kindly..." i
Sympathies toward Annabel only grew as they heard this. 3
Susan, on the other hand, red at Charmine heatedly.
D*mn it! Those two old hags forgave Charmine so easily? How could they?
They would ignore her, Susan, for days if she were to make a mistake. On the other hand, Charmine’s
rtive nearly cost Annabel her child, yet they just let Charmine off the hook?
Ha!
Susan looked visibly embroiled in bitterness.
She then thought of something and said, "It’s Annabel''s birthday tomorrow.
Let’s prepare a nice celebration for her."
