Chapter 1422
She met Susan's gaze, and her sexy lips curved into a cold smile. "Well, I have something to say as well. How is your illegitimate son, who's residing outside the country?" 1
Susan's face turned pale right away. Her cold eyes stared at Charmine with disbelief. "What... What are you talking about?"
Curses! How did this woman find out about this? How could she have known?!
Charmine smirked. "Of all people, you should know exactly what I’m talking about. If you keep pushing me, I don't mind dragging you down with me."
With that said, she stood up and left, leaving a pale, frustrated Susan behind.
How dare Charmine threaten her? She must have had evidence with her to have made that proclamation!
If she angered Charmine and she exposed her, she would be the one who would then be too ashamed to stay in Burlington!
Her hands clenched tightly, her expression contorting uglily.
At Violet Residence...
Charmine spotted only Chris, playing all alone when she returned home.
She frowned in suspicion. If Susan came to speak to her regarding this, Anthony should have told her about it. Why was he not back home yet?
Was he working in the company again?
Charmine sat on the sofa, but just as she was about to phone him, she heard a car pulling over. She turned to see Anthony driving into the compound and felt somewhat relieved.
She genuinely thought he would forget what she told him this morning, but luckily, he remembered and did what he was told.
Anthony met her gaze the moment he walked in, and he halted. Fearing he had forgotten what she had told him again, he instinctively lifted his wrist to look at his watch.
There was only one mission recorded, and he had done it.
Anthony thus walked toward Charmine and asked, "What's wrong?*'
Why was she looking at him with such a look?
Charmine's red lips curled into a smile. "I think you look very handsome."
Anthony was caught off-guard with that, but he smiled nonetheless. "How rare it is for my wife to compliment me." 1
He spent so much effort getting her such a small thing?
Stirred by his gesture, Charmine hugged him and muttered, "You didn't have to.” "Yes, I do," said Anthony. "As long as my wife likes it, I’ll find it for you no matter how difficult it is."
His life goal was to make her happy.
Charmine got out of his arms and blurted, "Silly."
Anthony's gaze was soft. "As long as you're happy."
He was willing to be silly.
Charmine still felt the butterflies; he seemed to have changed ever since they started planning their wedding.
He treated her better, and he would say sweet things he had not said to her before.
She looked up and planted a kiss on his well-sculpted cheek. "I'm very happy."
Anthony's long arms hooked around her waist, pulling her closer as he looked at her. "How are you going to return the favor?" 1 "Hmm?"
