Charmine frowned; confusion was written all over her face. What was he doing here at this hour? Since this was his property, she could only concede as she muttered a soft, “Come in.” Anthony walked in soon after with maids in tow with blankets and a mattress in their hands. They swiftly went into action. In a blink of an eye, a grey mattress was laid prepared on the floor; simple yet elegant altogether. The maids then left and shut the door behind them. Charmine frowned. “Mr. Bailey, what’s the meaning of this?” “Momo might get ill anytime tonight, and for that, I’ll have to be here all night.” Anthony deadpanned as he sat down on the mattress, already dressed in pure black silk pajamas. A meter away from the mattress, Charmine was left speechless. Did he have to? Of course, he was not completely unreasonable; it would be best if he was here if anything happened to Momo. As she did not want to comment any further, Charmine shut her eyes to get some rest. Anthony, on th

Caught off-guard, Lily tried to double back. “Dad, why would we fight you? We just want the best for the family. Having most of our family share given to an outsider doesn’t seem right.” “Exactly. Okay, let’s say Tiffany ends up being involved… It’s alright to confiscate her shares, but you could give it to me instead. Why give it to the outsider Charmine?” Felix grumbled. Drake glared at him. “As I’ve said many times, Charmine grew up with our family. She doesn’t have her parents; we’re her family. She’s not an outsider! “Also, has she brought shame to the family since her return from Africa? On the other hand, look at what Tiffany had done! Anyone with a brain can see clearly what’s happening!” Tiffany’s face turned pale; this old man obviously did not believe in her. She quickly put on her pitiful front and feebly walked toward him. “Grandpa, I know you’re suspecting me, but I’m really innocent. There’s no way I’d harm my sister. Veronica did everything, I swear it to God. I

Tiffany’s face lost all color and life. She never thought that Charmine would get the backstage closed-circuit television footage and printed the photos. She knew it would be over for her once the family lost faith in her. Hastily, she rambled, “Mom, you have to trust me... Please trust me! I… I was just practicing the pose and looks for the show! As you know, they needed cool poses for the exhibition, so I was just practicing and getting in the mood! “As for the transaction record, Veronica told me she needed the money, so I paid her without knowing what she was using the money for!” Who would believe what she said? They sounded absurd! Even if Veronica wanted to borrow some money, she would have asked for a whole number—something like 20,000 bucks—instead of the exact 19,500 bucks, which just so happened to be the price for the halophilic bacteria! Joey’s train of thoughts was all over the place. This was the first time she doubted Tiffany; the first time she had doubts abo

As Julian spoke, there was an obvious threat underlying in his words. Still, Charmine was unperturbed. “Testing patience? So are you. I’ve restrained myself from punching you for the last sixty seconds. Are you sure you want to keep talking to me?” With that, she swung his hand away and cracked her knuckles impatiently. She then warned, “Instead of yapping nonsense here, why don’t you go and visit your Tiffany? She’s kneeling in the prayer hall now. Do you think a weak and useless body like hers can endure it?” Julian’s eyes narrowed. The reason he came here was that Tiffany texted him. Tiffany wrote him words that depicted heartache and pain, so Julian came to speak up for her. At first, he thought the family liked her very much and would never punish her, but he did not expect them to deliver such harshness… “Of course I’ll visit her later, but you have to reconsider being with Anthony. It won’t end well.” With that, he turned and left. Charmine merely scoffed, but there

Charmine took Tiffany’s silence as she coldly explained, “Mr. Cabell, there’s no need to be so furious. It’s no big deal. She merely tried to kill me in a staged car accident, but I got the evidence and used it against her to send me a scandalous photo. Looking at that sexy look of hers, you must be a lucky man, eh?” “Shut up! Shut up! Stop talking!” Tiffany was screaming by then. Charmine ran out of patience to wait for their fight; she had better things to do anyway. Her plan was to expose Tiffany’s true color to Julian, and since she had accomplished that… “Take all the time you need, but don’t fight.” Charmine smirked as she turned and sashayed in her heels. Before she left, she added, “Oh, right. Mom asked me to stay for lunch today. She said she owed me an apology.” Tiffany clenched her fists tightly. That was her mother! Hers! Did Charmine have to steal everything from her? Still, she dared not say a word. Tiffany had lost everyone’s trust; she could not afford to los
