Chapter 7
Chasing after her, Anthony went to stand in front of her path, and it effectively blocked her. He took
out the small box once more.
“Miss Jordan, please consider,” he asserted, languid yet evident with determination.
Charmine was speechless. Must she accept his proposal? Who placed such a ridiculous mandate?
She gently plucked out the ring from its box. Needless to say, it was a beautiful heart-shaped diamond
ring perfectly cut, and the exquisite workmanship was evident with the ring itself. It was one of the
best cuts in the world.
Yet…
With a faint smile on her red lips, she tossed the ring away. Just like that, a perfectly cut diamond ring
was thrown away like it was rubbish.
Anthony and his assistant were stunned.
The assistant felt like everything was a blur. Charmine literally rejected his boss and threw the
diamond ring into the bin!
Unperturbed, Charmine nonchalantly spoke, “I am thankful that Mr Bailey had saved me and nursed
me back to health, but I won’t marry you. Marriage isn’t a game, and a victim doesn’t have to marry
the rapist. You’re too naive.”
With that, Charmine left.
The corners of Anthony’s lips quivered in displeasure. Was she implying he was a rapist? Was she
genuinely comparing him to one? What deplorable attitude! This woman was being ludicrous.
Anthony scoffed. Would she still reject him if he sucked her all over? He was quite intrigued to find
out.
Nonetheless, the most important thing was that she survived the fall from the hill.
“Luke, send her the evidence we’ve found.”
“Ah?” Luke, the man addressed by Anthony, was confused.
What was going on? Charmine was so rude to him, but not only was he not angry, he even wanted to
send those evidence to her? What happened to his calculative and remorseless boss?
“Forget it, I’ll do it myself.” Since Luke did not react, Anthony walked to his office and turned on his
laptop.
…
By this time, Charmine had reached her villa. Once she got changed into her own clothes, she threw
the white shirt into the bin. It was not long, however, until the ringing of her phone broke the silence.
Picking up the phone, she noted the person on the other line panting. “Oh my lady, are you alright?”
spoke the person at the other end, voice evidently worried and panicked. “Why did you return home?
Wasn’t it nice back here? Also, why didn’t you let Kay and his team protect you? Do you know that my
heart nearly combusted when I heard about your accident?! That evil woman actually paid for the
murderers… I’ll make her pay for it now!”
Nobody knew this, but Charmine had a fair share of accomplishments she had gotten on her own in
the past five years. These, in turn, made everyone look up to her, paying attention to her every move.
She never sought aid of any kind, yet many people wanted to help her out.
Charmine cradled her phone between her shoulder and neck. “Don’t bother. Pass this message on: I’m
taking care of some personal stuff back here at home, so leave me alone.”
“W—What? Are you sure?” the man asked worriedly.
Charmine scoffed. “If I didn’t believe I could settle this myself, I wouldn’t have returned.”
She ended the call.
