Chapter 570
Was Anthony not enough that Charmine just had to seduce another man?
She was that willing to drink wine and dine with another man instead of meeting him?
Displeased, Julian got up and walked over to their table.
"Good job, Charmine."
Charmine moved her chair away in disgust at the sight of Julian, glaring at him sharply. "Go away.”
"How dare you!" Julian’s face darkened. How could Charmine speak to him with that tone?
He glared at her. "Don’t forget, Charmine, that I was once your fiancé! You dated so many men behind my back and left me! How could you be so easy?"
What he meant was...
Before Charmine could refute, Julian continued, "I know you hate me, but I've apologized to you more than once. I genuinely want to get back with you. Can you stop being so hard on yourself?"
Bam!
Charmine abruptly slammed her fork on the table as she gave him a dirty stare. "Being easy on myself is when I’m still in touch with you! Can't you tell how much I hate you? You're like a disgusting dog licking around every day! Don't you find yourself disgusting?
"Now that all my appetite is gone, I feel more disgusted than having seen a pile of sh*t!"
Tristan put down his fork as well as he playfully gripped his chest at Charmine's scathing insult. 1
Julian's veins appeared on his forehead. "Charmine, are you sure you want to insult me like this? Have you not seen how sincere I was over the past few months?"
He genuinely wanted to marry her. He even called her in the bar and showed her his lowest point. When he thought of her brother and the company, he went to hire a doctor. 1
Charmine? She kept on insulting him, and she even teamed up with another manto insult him!
Thinking of that, he warned through gritted teeth, "Don't you forget that the Jordans are still in a partnership with the Cabells. If you guys want to get back on your feet, you’ll need the materials we're supplying."
"The Jordans are still cooperating with the Cabells?” Charmine frowned.
A look of arrogance went back on Julian's face, his pose even more arrogant than it was. "Of course. The Cabells produce the best raw materials in the country. The Jordans want to sell properties with the best materials. Where would you find the best materials without US? 1
"Oh, yes, Boss Bailey did say he'd provide the materials. However...”
His eyes lingered on Tristan from head to toe and smirked. "Charmine, do you think Boss Bailey will help you if he found out you're dining with another man? Do you think he’d still protect you?"
Charmine's eyes darkened. "Are you threatening me?"
"I won’t call it threatening... Just negotiating what's best for you." 1
Thinking he held her secrets hostage, Julian gazed at her. "Charmine, as long as you consider to be with me, I won't tell Anthony anything and won't hold this against you. The Cabells and Jordans had been partners for so many years, and we've been arranged for marriage from a young age. Why break up because of an adopted daughter? I'll keep my promises to you. If you get back with me, I won't mind about you having been with so many men. Now that the Jordans are trying to recover, I’ll help you. Let’s get back to where we were, alright?" His words were manipulative.
"Hah!"
Charmine scoffed coldly. "You're so lacking in self-knowledge. I guess you're the only one who has the courage to threaten me, and you’re the only one who could turn a threat into such a manipulative confession! Get out of my sight! The partnership between the Cabells and Jordans will end now!"
Her cold and clear voice rang in the air, haughty yet powerful.
Julian’s pupils dilated. Charmine asked him to get out of her sight and ended the partnership between the two families?
How could she end their partnership when the Jordans have yet to recover their status?
