Chapter 650
Once Brandon left the office, Charmine phoned Kay and asked, "How's the background check on Waverly D'Cruz going?"
"I was about to call you. The D'Cruz family is too mysterious. They've never made any public appearances nor had they attended any public event, especially Waverly—there's almost no record of her. She had never made any public appearance either. She just popped out of nowhere it seems, and she suddenly became world-renowned just like that. I speculate her appearance is to help Max D'Cruz develop in this country,” Kay replied.
That did not sit well with Charmine. "Help Max D'Cruz to develop in this country?"
"Speaking of which, that's mysterious on its own too. Max is a genius business bigshot, never interested in business since young and focused on commerce. He owned up to sixty percent of the real estate development in Burlington. From this year onward, he suddenly became involved in many real estate developments overseas, he’s ambitious. In this recent month, he had his eyes on Burlington. He's obviously trying to expand his power." 1
Kay then warned, "Your Uncles asked you to design the Magpie Bridge so that Burlington’s real estate development looks stronger. Boss Jordan, do be warned. Max D’Cruz would do anything to get what he wants; he might as well attack many of US in this industry.”
Charmine frowned. It seemed Max D'Cruz came prepared.
Taking down Westfield was perhaps his first target.
Of course she could not lose the first battle.
If they wanted to get Westfield, she had to fight for it, too!
Nonetheless, that meant she would be in direct conflict with Max, who was Waverly’s brother. This might ultimately result in discord with Waverly, which was far from ideal since she was caring for Annabel. 1
Annabel's situation was not improving, and if they broke out with Waverly...
Thinking of that, she texted Anthony, [The Jordan Group might have some business competition with Waverly's brother, Max D'Cruz. Have Waverly voice out her opinion.]
On the top floor of Royal Hospital, inside the medical lab...
Anthony was in the white lab coat, doing experiments with Nial and Waverly.
Suddenly, his phone rang inside his pocket.
It was a romantic ringtone, specially made for messages sent by Charmine. 1
Anthony looked delighted. Instantly, he put down the test tube, removed his gloves, and walked into the disinfection room.
His action was so swift as if he could not afford to delay any second.
Waverly looked at his speed and frowned. 3
Nial explained, "Just get used to it. Whenever Charmine texts him, he'd look like this. At least he did not rush out instantly today."
Waverly smiled a polite and official smile, "Really? Your brother and Charmine are so loving."
"I know, right? I didn't expect my emotionless brother would have such a behavior! You have no idea-he'd keep a good two-meter distance from any woman in the past. Now, all he wanted to do was to glue himself to Charmine whenever!” Nial complained. 1
Waverly lowered her eyes to look at where she stood, and then looked at the working desk Anthony stood before.
