Chapter 251
The next morning, Charmine received a call from Eric.
“HollyOak terminated their contracts with a few artists, including Scarlet. They all want to meet you, and they need your signature. Since their terminating compensations are such large sums, and all of them are top supermodels in their own rights, the assistants couldn’t even make them go away.”
“Alright,” answered Charmine, “I’ll come over.” Charmine turned to look at the bed and gazed at both Anthony and Chris, fast asleep. Perhaps they fell asleep rather late. Chris did not wake up early to paint; he slept soundly in the middle while Anthony laid flat on the inside of the bed. Two figures-one big, the other small—with skin that glistened like jade carvings. A warm smile appeared on Charmine’s lips unknowingly. Charmine got off the bed carefully as she did not want to wake them up.
Not long after she left, the phone on the bedside vibrated. Anthony opened his eyes to see a message popped up on his phone.
[Hello, Mr. Bailey. I’m Tiffany Jordan. I’d like to tell you about what happened five years ago. I’m guessing Charmine wouldn’t tell you? That’s because she wanted to handle it herself. She’s always been so independent, never wanting others to help her. However, Julian had been crossing the line lately. Not only did he leave me, but he even tried to threaten Charmine with what happened five years ago so she’d marry him. The evidence consists of something that agonizes Charmine, and it could even make her do things she’s unwilling to do. If Julian reaches his limit, he might want to take down Charmine with him, completely destroying her.
Only you can save her. I’ll be waiting for you at Green Café at 2pm.]
Anthony’s gaze darkened. He did not want to get involved with Charmine’s secret, but as he read Tiffany’s text…
Was the incident happening five years ago so serious?
It seemed that he had to figure it out. He pulled up Luke’s contact and ordered, “Clear up my schedule in the afternoon.”
