Chapter 275
She was only away from home for half a day, and this man had gone to look for a mistress!
As he picked up Charmine’s misunderstanding, Chris hastily explained, “Mommy, it’s not Daddy’s fault. Grandpa and Grandma sent Auntie McKenzie over, and they said that from today onward, Auntie McKenzie will come to the mansion and spend three hours with us.” 1
Three hours…
That basically meant that the seniors of the Bailey family wanted to cultivate feelings between McKenzie and Anthony. They were determined for Anthony to marry McKenzie.
They were not wrong; McKenzie was indeed of the uppest class in Burlington. Not only was her family impressive, but she was extremely skilled in medicine and business, and she easily overshadowed the rest.
A woman like her was indeed good enough for Anthony.
Charmine’s eyes narrowed, though not noticeably so, and looked at Chris. “Alright, Mommy will go home first. I’ll visit you another time.”
“No! No! I wanna be with Mommy, and she’ll be leaving in half an hour anyway. Mommy doesn’t have to make way for a person like her! Let’s go, Momo will bring Mommy somewhere.”
With that, Chris held her hand and led her to a secret passage. The passage was only half a meter wide; it was a spiral staircase that extended upward.
Charmine frowned. Where did Chris bring her to? She feared no one, and she knew she could easily rival McKenzie should they compete. Nonetheless, she knew deep down that she would never be with Anthony anyway and did not want anything unnecessary to happen. If McKenzie found out about her, things would get messy. 1
As she was caught up in her thoughts, Chris had brought her to an attic and brought a fingert o his lips. It was not until then when Charmine realized that this was an attic on the ninth floor, and the space was small with only a window on the door. Through the window, they could see the lobby on the ninth floor.
At the lobby, Anthony sat on the European-inspired sofa, having a meeting with a few golden haired men as if discussing something important. McKenzie, on the other hand, sat on a sofa not far away as she waited patiently. She checked on her wrist from time to time, her elegant face seemingly displeased.
