Chapter 620
"Why don't we keep it simple? Just get married."
His thick and magnetic voice rang in the air. He put his account book in Charmine’s hands.
Charmine was stunned.
All the pain suffered by Annabel was not caused by Anthony but was caused by McKenzie instead? 1
That...seemed plausible.
That was it; McKenzie had to be the mastermind to have pulled the strings. Annabel would never have received such a hefty lash-out if it was not for her.
Furthermore...
Keep it simple? Just get married?
Did just use those words to comfort her, to settle it? 1
Admittedly, Charmine had been in the blues for the past few days and the problems overwhelmed her for so long, yet his solution was to get married? 1
Seeing that she was stunned, Anthony asked in a low voice, "What? You want McKenzie to win this?"
Charmine's eyelids jumped. Let McKenzie win this? Fat chance!
She would not simply compromise or fall.
Still... Something seemed off. Why was that?
How did she feel as if her thoughts had been manipulated somehow?
The one hint of rationality left in her made her give back the account book to Anthony as she insisted, "Getting the marriage certificate is a big deal. I need to calm down and think it through. You go home first-give me some time."
"Charmine, hesitate no more. We have to get married so McKenzie will give up, preventing any unsavory events from happening." Anthony's voice was magnetic and thick.
Charmine fell silent.
'Make McKenzie give up, preventing any unsavory events from happening'?
Would their marriage end McKenzie’s scheme?
Oh, no, Charmine was already getting convinced?
She still felt something was off, however...
Before she could respond, Antony pulled her by the hand and walked downstairs. "Get your account book from Grandpa," he spoke as he walked, "and after getting the marriage certificate, we can discuss everything else slowly.”
Anthony would have peace of mind only after they got married, and only then could he settle everything else. It would be able to stop Charmine from overthinking.
Charmine, in a blur, was dragged out from the room. Her thoughts were messed up.
How did the situation escalate to such a height all of a sudden?
Was she really getting married to Anthony? Just like that? 2
Anthony had pulled her to the door of the second floor, and with just one push, the Jordans would see them. Suddenly...
Ring! Ring! Ring!
His phone rang hurriedly.
Anthony took out his phone and wanted to decline it when he noted it was Nial calling.
Nial would not call him if it was not an urgent matter. He had to stop walking and pick up.
Nial's voice was heard instantly, "Bro, it's bad! Momo fell ill again! The situation is so severe that he's been sent to the emergency room at Royal Hospital!"
