When Charmine saw how worried they seemed, she carefreely spoke, though with confidence despite her calm-sounding tone, "Don’t worry, I’m confident in this. All this while, have I done anything that I’m not confident in?"The Jordans and Annabel wanted to continue persuading her, but Charmine stopped them as she said, "Don’t worry. Just go and watch the competition. We’re starting."They were worried, but they knew they could not stop her. They could only move away.McKenzie glanced at her coldly before she loftily remarked, "This round is life-risking. You'd do well to be careful."The way McKenzie spoke sounded like it was a challenge, but why did it sound…like McKenzie was slightly worried?She turned to look at the high-above McKenzie and assumed she had heard it wrongly after all.Charmine did not mind, however. She took out a black cloth and blindfolded her eyes, much to everyone's bewilderment."Is Charmine insane? She'll be racing blindfolded?""She’s not afraid of dy
Charmine and McKenzie were giving their final push, and none of them would admit their defeat. They had to win!McKenzie raced quickly and steadily. She turned to glare at Charmine as she modishly declared, "We’re almost at the cliff. I won’t give in to you this time!"McKenzie meant that she would never pull the brakes before Charmine would. She had lost for two rounds, and she had to win this round!Charmine continued to steer the superbike forward speedily as she said, "Is it worth it? For a married man? Is it worth gambling with your life?"McKenzie smirked. "My life has nothing to do with you!" Charmine drove forward fiercely and said, "To me, you’re amazing and well-accomplished. You deserve a better man. Even if you get with Anthony, you'll always be known as a third-wheeler!"Although it did not sound pleasant, Charmine sounded very sincere.McKenzie halted and said coldly, "This is not for you to worry! You better focus on staying alive!"Having said that, she sped up
Senior Jordan felt his blood pressure going up, and his breathing grew urgent.He turned to look for Anthony, but he was nowhere to be seen!Joey was so worried that tears streamed down her face.It was not easy for her to reconcile with her daughter, and it was definitely not easy for Charmine to finally accept her. She begged and prayed in her mind that her daughter would survive this.…The brake on both superbikes failed to function.Charmine and McKenzie were so close to the cliff, and with the gust blowing by, pebbles and stones were falling down as well, making it a terrifying sight to behold.The vehicles were one meter away from the cliff.They should have pulled the brake at this point, but…McKenzie looked at the cliff before her, and her heart became icy-cold.She had always been exalted. If she was to die, she had to die in a laboratory, sacrificing her body for technological advancements.She never expected this to be her way to die!Feeling a surge of strong
"You have my blessing," said McKenzie, her tone graced with sincerity.Anthony frowned and looked at her in confusion.Charmine, however, understood what she meant. She smiled at her and said, "Thank you."McKenzie somehow responded with an elegant smile.Charmine looked away and hugged Anthony’s neck tightly. She cuddled in his arms and said, "Let’s go."Anthony did not even look at McKenzie as he brought Charmine away. McKenzie, meanwhile, was brought away by the rescue team.Meanwhile… The crowd that surrounded the screen was in shock, was stunned, and in admiration.At the pivotal moment where everyone thought both women would die, they bore witness to how Charmine coldly let go of the handles and jumped up on the spot.The moment when the superbike was about to fall over, she launched at McKenzie, causing both of them to tumble away from the careening superbikes.When they saw how the two of them survived, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Following that, praises were
Annabel stood by Charmine’s side. She watched as McKenzie left before she sighed in relief, saying, "Wonderful. Ms. McKenzie has finally given up. Nobody will separate Ms. Charmine and President Bailey now!"Annabel was pleased as though this was her happy ending and she was happier than anyone.Susan glared at her angrily.This woman always made way for them! She had no intention of winning at all!…At the Bailey mansion. Anthony carried Charmine back into the room and quickly fixed her wound. It still bothered him that she was injured, albeit with only a minor scratch.Anthony looked at Charmine meaningfully and emotionally, as his action toward her was gentle and loving.Charmine nonchalantly looked up at him and was drawn in by the endearing expression he had for her.Her gaze then gravitated toward his inviting lips, and she could not help raising her head to kiss them.Anthony stiffened at her beguiling kiss. He hesitated at the intimacy, fighting with himself whether
The Bailey family dined peacefully.All of a sudden, Luke rushed toward them. "Boss Bailey, the result is out. Madam's and Ms. McKenzie's superbikes had special high-tech gasoline. We can’t find out how, but when the superbikes traveled at a high speed, this gasoline would be activated, causing too much lubricant that resulted in the brake failure!"Charmine narrowed her eyes suspiciously.The superbikes had been examined, and they were fine when they were sent over.Only her family and Annabel were close to the superbikes, but…they all seemed unlikely to do such a thing.Anthony understood her meaning. Hence, he instructed, "Keep investigating this.""Yes, Sir!" Luke nodded and left politely. That night…Charmine laid in bed after showering. She picked up a book while waiting for Anthony to shower.A moment later, the shower door opened. She instinctively turned to look at Anthony standing before the shower room in his silk robe. He made a stark contrast to the mist behi
Charmine could not shake off the memory of how Anthony always evaded moments of true intimacy.Did he…have an 'illness' or something?If he was healthy, he would not be able to hold back his desire for so long. He stopped her halfway through every time they were so close to consummating their marriage.Was the guilt in his eyes reflecting the guilt he felt toward her, that he could not please her?Charmine was more certain of her guess.She frowned. Since when did he have such an illness?Why did he not tell her earlier?Charmine resolutely removed the blanket off of her frame.She wanted to speak to Anthony, wanting to tell him that he should go to the doctor instead of feeling guilty. However, just as she got out of the room, she thought of something else.Anthony was a proud adult man. If she said this to him in front of his face, would it not fluster him?After all, this was a sensitive topic.Moreover, she knew he did not like stopping their intimacy either.As his w
Annabel then saw… Felix, in a secluded corner, was digging a hole beside the tree in secrecy. He placed a small black bottle into the hole as well.Felix was hasty in his work, and his oily face looked anxious.Since yesterday afternoon, Charmine and Anthony had been looking for the black gasoline inside this bottle. If they found this, he would be done for! He moved even quicker at the thought of this. He had to get this done before everyone came to work so that he could get out of it!What a pity that Charmine did not die yesterday.Annabel saw the half-buried bottle. With a serious expression, she made her way toward Felix and caught his hand."It’s you, just as I expected! I noticed you acting strangely yesterday, but I can’t believe this is true… How could you do such a thing to your niece?"Felix’s face stiffened. He did not expect anyone to see him here so early in the morning.His gaze darted around as he then swung Annabel’s hand off of him. He resumed his blank and
