Meanwhile, at the Bailey mansion, Charmine was on a call. “You don’t have to help me anymore, Charmine,” came Scarlet’s feeble voice laced with guilt. “Let me go out and confess. A person like me should be dead, so don’t let me drag you and your company down.” “You’ll only drag the company down if you die now! Do you know how much the company has lost because of you? If you really want to die, at least return seven billion to me before you do,” refuted Charmine. Scarlet was caught off-guard by Charmine’s severe words. Seven billion… How could she have that much money? Supermodels seemed like they were living the ideal life, but the truth was that they paid high costs to buy gowns and expensive accessories for every event. Normal people could get away with wearing cheap clothes, but supermodels would surely get caught and receive terrible criticisms online for it. It did not help that Scarlet had donated a large sum and even gave Johnson quite the amount of money… Scarlet did no

There was a huge metal cage, and inside laid a dozen huge pythons. Even the smallest of them was at least as thick as a women’s wrist, while the biggest one was as wide as the opening of a bowl. It was a horrendous sight to behold! McKenzie gaped with her scalp itching, and there were goosebumps all over her body. Chris walked toward the cage happily as he chirped, “Auntie McKenzie, come over here! These are all my pets. This is Mr. Green, this is Ms. Red, and this is Ms. Yellow.” As he spoke, his tiny hand reached into the cage and started petting the pythons. The pythons were all in different colors, a nauseating sight to behold especially the yellow one. Its color was overly bright that made it stand out from the rest. Pale-faced McKenzie stood by the entrance and blurted, “Momo, do you only play with them during the day? Why don’t I bring you to play something else?” “But they haven’t eaten today, and I need to feed them and bathe them. Auntie McKenzie, didn’t you say tha

Once McKenzie left the mansion, Chris ran up the stairs happily back to the computer room. He launched himself right into Charmine’s arms and chirped, “Momo is done! Mommy and Daddy don’t have to worry about her anymore; she won’t be back for the next three days!” “Thank you, Momo. Aren’t you scared of those pythons?” asked Charmine, concerned for the boy. He was so young, only five years old. How could he face so many pythons without even flinching? Chris smiled and answered, “Not at all! Momo had watched them grow since young. Also, Daddy used to be out all the time and didn’t have time to spend with Momo, so since Momo had nobody to play with, I’d play with them. They’re very nice and never harmed anyone! I like them!” His child-like, innocent voice tugged at Charmine’s heart and it tightened. So, Chris truly did grow up alone? His grandparents did not like him, he had no mother, and his father did not spend much time with him. If she was to leave him in the future, would he

At the Houstons’ mansion... McKenzie was bathing in the bathtub. The image of the python that slithered up her thigh was stuck in her mind, and the thought sent shivers down her spine. Damn it! Charmine had to feel that fear as well! It was then when her phone lit up; it had to be Yumi. McKenzie eagerly took up her phone, ready to watch the clip of Charmine traumatized by the pythons like she was! Hah! Was she not always pretending to be cool and arrogant? ‘Boss Jordan’, my foot! Charmine would be just as traumatized when faced with pythons! McKenzie clicked open the clip when the screen turned black all of a sudden, and a massive giant python appeared on her screen. The python seemingly gazed right at her, and it struck as though aiming at her! “Argh!” McKenzie shrieked with trembling hands as she tossed the phone away. Still, her waterproof phone was lit up even when dropped into the water, and the clip of the python slithering still played. It was a 3-dimensional reali

Charmine looked at the lobsters in the frying pan, then at the doe-eyed Chris beside her. “Give me two hours,” she said to Eric, “I’ll be there in two hours.” “Okay.” Charmine hung up and continued to fry the lobsters. “Get the plates ready, Momo,” said Charmine, “dinner will be ready soon.” “Yay!” Chris made himself busy as her little helper. It was only after Chris left her side did Charmine fish out her phone and saw the headlines all over her feed. [Omega Founder Criticizes Charmine And Scarlet] [Genius McKenzie Houston And No.1 Supermodel Kelly Milan Support Gigi] [Gigi And Daughter Sobbing] Every article had the same pattern; every single one was critical toward Charmine and Scarlet. Her Twitter was bombarded with direct messages asking her why would she save a ‘b*tch’ like Scarlet. Worse still, the douche Johnson Spencer finally came out to say his piece, but...
