Chapter 1118
Charmine knew what Anthony was thinking just by studying his expression.
Standing on the balcony, she calmly persuaded, "It's nothing, truly. It only hurts once per day, I can endure it." "No. I'd rather the Jordan Group gets locked down than seeing you suffer," answered Anthony coldly.
He walked to her and placed his hands on her waist.
"Even without the Jordan Group, the Baileys are here. We’ll always have your back." "We're not kids anymore, Anthony," came Charmine's abrupt, out-of-the- blue response, one with wisdom and maturity.
Her past teenage self would have sacrificed everything for love; she could care less about the family company or other responsibilities so long as she was happy.
Times have changed, however, and she was the Jordans’ only pillar of support. Senior Jordan did not pressure her into it, but she knew he placed great hope in her.
If the Jordan Group had to shut down, the aging Senior Jordan would take it badly.
Furthermore, they had sold out all units in the Divine Bird, thanks to the builders' hard work. The Divine Bird would advance the country upon its completion. The company must not fall.
Also...
Charmine looked at Anthony. "Do you think we can still be together if the Jordan Group collapses?"
The Baileys never supported them to be together; they looked down on her.
Grandma Bailey liked her merely because she was more capable and cleverer than Waverly, but Charmine might lose her support if things continue to worsen...
Anthony looked at her. "So you'd rather let Guy go home while you suffer in pain?"
Charmine’s face darkened. She looked out at the window.
After a long while of silence, she said, "If there's no other way, this is the only thing I can do.”
