Chapter 717
Max almost threw up blood. He was so furious that his organs felt like they were minced altogether.
Charmine asked for 92 percent of his shares in return for a short period of peace and got to keep the evidence as well?
His large hand clenched tightly as bitter-cold anger emanated from him." Don't push me, Charmine. If you offend the D'Cruz family, you won't end up well."
"If you offend me, would you end up well?" Charmine scoffed at him coldly, her eyes mockingly lingered on his body.
She eyed his shredded clothes. Hilarious how eager he was just moments ago!
Max knew what she was thinking, and he saw red.
Charmine Jordan... He would never let her go easy!
Alas...
"Fine! Have it your way, then."
Evidence, huh? Threat?
If she could threaten him, he could also do the same!
The D’Cruz family would never let Charmine go!
That same night, Max signed the share-transfer paper.
The once-powerful Jordown Group ended up giving 92 percent of their shares to Charmine, and she was in charge of the Hundred Birds Project.
Jordown Group's director, Max D'cruz, only owned a meager eight percent of the shares. 1
With such a small value, he had no power or rights to speak. All was futile.
Max could almost cry as he read the contract.
As Charmine prepared to leave, she smiled and patted his shoulder. 'Take it easy—eight is an auspicious number." 1
With that said, she marched out in her heels, her gait arrogant and wild.
She even took a cloth to wipe her hand and tossed it into the bin.
Her arrogant, bold demeanor made her all the more bewitching.
Violet Villa.
It was already 12 at night when Charmine reached home.
She thought Anthony would be home by then, but that was not the case. Still, as she stood outside, Charmine noted the faint light coming from the nursery.
Luke stood by the front door. "Young Master has fallen asleep. President Bailey might come home late, so he asked you to not wait for him and rest first."
Charmine frowned. Come home late?
"How are things in the hospital?"
"Ms. Annabel's body weakened after the poison attack, and she needed the antidote right away. Therefore, President Bailey and Dr. D'Cruz are working overnight to come up with the antidote," explained Luke.
Understanding the situation, she then walked inside the house and closed the door behind her.
The first floor was the newly renovated nursery. When she was by the door, she gently pushed the door open and saw Chris sleeping soundly with a rabbit pillow in his hold.
A five-year-old kid should start learning to sleep alone.
He would surely wake up if she walked in now, thus she carefully closed the door and walked up to the second floor.
The master bedroom of the second floor was their wedding room Anthony had decorated. It was left the same way as they left it in the morning.
The bed was slightly messed up, as if reminding her of how passionate Anthony was with her...
The rose petals laid silently on the bed as if waiting for something.
Charmine felt it then, the loneliness creeping up on her.
Tonight was their first night together, yet they were unable to be together... 1
She wondered if Max would affect Waverly after she threatened him. What if they could not come up with an antidote? What could she do?
