Chapter 727
At that moment, the saleswoman finally came with the jacket and handed it to Waverly. She wore the jacket and walked up to Anthony. "President Bailey, I can help you, and I don't need anything in return."
Anthony eyed her as she stood before him, his eyes darkening as he did.
She was indeed a suitable candidate. If it was her, even the Houston family would not be able to fight against her.
However...
"What are you planning?"
Anthony did not believe Waverly would help him without anything in mind.
"My brother and my family are forcing me as well," explained Waverly, if I announce to them that we're in a relationship, I'll be able to take a breather as well." 2
She spoke with such honesty that her elegant face showed no hint of dark intention nor calculation. 1
Anthony thought through it before his lips parted, "Alright. Let me ask for my lady's permission."
With that said, he walked aside to dial Charmine's number.
Waverly was speechless.
He would ask for his lady's permission?
Was President Bailey that much of a henpecked man?
Charmine, meanwhile, was making all sorts of preparation.
She wanted to leave so Susan could not find her, but as she thought it through, they would someday meet anyway. There was no use in escaping.
With that idea scratched, what should she say when they meet? Should she act tougher, or slightly gentler?
She was Anthony's mother, after all...
As Charmine's thoughts overtook her, the phone rang suddenly.
After picking up, she heard Anthony saying, "My lady, I have two ideas. Firstly, we officiate our relationship. With me around, nobody can harm you. Secondly, Waverly can, and is willing, to act as my partner, and this is to remove suspicion."
When Charmine heard that, her brows furrowed.
Officiate their relationship?
Putting aside how unprepared she was, Annabel's situation was not even stabilized yet. it was not the right time to officiate the relationship yet.
Moreover... The second idea was to put on an act with Waverly?
Charmine could not quite place it down, but Waverly raised red flags in her mind. Even though Waverly had detoxified Annabel, something felt off about her. 1
Despite her suspicion, Charmine could not place her finger on what it was.
Judging the situation at hand...
Charmine thought for a moment and said, "I'd pick the second one." 2
She had known Anthony long enough to trust him. He was willing to donate his heart for her; it would be impossible for him to cheat on her.
As for Waverly, even though she did not feel good about this woman, she could spend some time to know her better and see what her true intention was.
However well the fox hid its tail, it would get exposed one day.
