Charmine looked into Anthony's for a moment before she blurted, "Anthony, do you have…an illness?"Why else would he stop things when they reached such an important moment?Anthony’s face turned dark at the meaning behind Charmine's words. Where would Chris have come from if he was 'ill'?!A look of bewilderment was plastered onto Anthony's face, and he pinched her nose as if he was punishing her. "You’re overthinking. I just thought of some unresolved things from work, and I need to work them out so I'll be able to see how my darling wins tomorrow," he spoke, his tone warm to the heart and endearing altogether. "Furthermore, you also need to rest, don’t you?"Charmine, feeling helpless, had no choice but to drop the subject. "Oh."Of course, the look of dissatisfaction on Charmine's face did not go unnoticed by Anthony, who lowered his head and smiled.All too suddenly, he swept her off of her feet and lifted her into his arms."Ah!" Charmine gasped and wound her slim arms ar

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 relationship with Anthony!Susan became more furious as she thought about it. She glared 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 the competition! Pfeh! You truly are ignorant!"No matter, though—I hope you lose! I won't have to face such a cruel daughter-in-law 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 attempte

McKenzie, still seated on the sofa made of genuine leather, fixed her eyes on the tightly shut door life.Five more minutes.Charmine would certainly lose at this rate.McKenzie gently lifted a teacup filled with branded tea to sip at it, and an unnoticeable glint of pride twinkled in her eyes.Even as it was just two minutes away until ten, Charmine still had not shown up. Such was the situation that elicited gossip and remarks."Why is Charmine not here yet? Is she unable to take the risk and run away at the last minute?""Haha! For sure! She must've known that she’s unable to win, so she doesn’t dare to show up!""And yet she sounded so bold last night! She's like a turtle that shrinks back into its shell. This is a waste of my time!""She shouldn’t have made such a big deal out of herself. Now, she has embarrassed herself!""She spoke before her brain could make sense of things, and now, she doesn’t even have the courage to show up? She’s just a fake mogul, it seems!""

McKenzie could speak all languages of the world, while Charmine was expelled from school from a young age. How many languages could she speak? Ha!McKenzie would win this round!McKenzie first spoke in English, "Do you think you can win?"Charmine shot her an aloof stare before her red lips parted, and she spoke in fluent German, "Of course. If I accept the challenge, I have to win."McKenzie scoffed and replied in fluent Japanese, "Self-conceited."Charmine smiled and spoke in Russian, "Ms. McKenzie, you better save some energy to worry about yourself."McKenzie replied in Polish, "Go on, then!"…Both of them nearly exhausted the list of all languages that existed in the world, and everyone watched on with confusion and shock.This was indeed the competition between two moguls. The crowd did not understand a word.They did not study enough!McKenzie, meanwhile, stared at Charmine in surprise.She did not expect Charmine to be able to speak so many languages. She was just

"Why isn’t Charmine doing anything?""What else can it be? She obviously doesn’t know how to assemble them!""Charmine is definitely losing! Even if she knows something, her device won't perform better than Ms. McKenzie’s!""Right, and Ms. McKenzie is a tech-mogul, after all: the founder of the best-selling phones in Burlington!""Her phone company has a market share of sixty percent! She can beat Charmine any second!""Knowing languages is nothing; technology is the real deal.""Charmine doesn’t know anything about technology. How dare she challenge Ms. McKenzie? She even said that she was going to win? How ignorant!"Jeers and mocking laughter were heard across the venue. All the while, Charmine merely changed a hand to lean on. She remained calm as she stared at the items before her. Her behavior elicited stronger rebukes and ridicules aimed at her. "Look at Charmine’s confused look! Sigh! Listen to me, Charmine: If you’re sleepy, go home and sleep. Don’t embarrass yourse
