Chapter 756
"We got married silently," Charmine explained to them, "and we don't want to announce it to the public yet, but someone found out about it and the Baileys nearly caught US. Anthony is pretending to date Waverly so he can protect me. In short, the news is fake. We'll announce our relationship once the Jordan Group is doing better. Until then, he needs to distract everyone."
The three of them exchanged looks with disbelief.
That was it?
Why did they find it hard to believe?
Coincidentally, Charmine's phone lit up again.
It was a message from Anthony that read, [My lady, it’s my fault for not sorting out the news on the internet. It'll be fixed within three days.]
Her red lips curved into a smirk as she added, "Look, I'm fine. I don't need you guys taking care of me. Go home and get rested; I still need to work tomorrow."
Joey, Adam, and Senior Jordan saw Anthony's text and they were finally convinced. 1
Anthony did not seem like a bad guy after all... So it was all a misunderstanding!
"Alright, you get a good rest, too. Do tell US if anything happens-we'll have your back no matter what," Senior Jordan reminded her.
Charmine nodded and saw the three of them out of her villa.
The moment they left, the building looked much colder and a little too unwelcoming.
As she sat on the sofa, Charmine's initially stoic expression fell apart.
She put up a brave front before her family, but in truth...
Everyone online blessed Anthony in being with Waverly, and the sight of it made her feel sick to her stomach. She felt like a homewrecker of sorts...
as if she was not good enough for Anthony... 3
Ding!
It was her WhatsApp notification.
Anthony's message read, [Don't overthink. Check the local news.]
Local news?
Was there something even more shocking in the local news?
Warily, Charmine opened the local news and was greeted with the headline [#Five-year-old-boy-looking-for-a-high-paid-wife].
A flame emoji was comically added there, making it even more interesting.
Instinctively, she clicked into it to see the content of Chris' tweet. Her brows instantly furrowed.
Chris was bold enough to make such a post and offered a huge sum of free cash?
No doubt, he must have done this to change the topic of discussion to bury the discussion about Anthony and Waverly in Burlington.
With that, it seemed that it was the people in Kansas shamelessly trying to pull strings with the Baileys. It seemed rather hilarious...
Charmine felt somewhat better at that, and after a moment of thought, she sent a text to Anthony,
[Momo did a good thing-help me to thank him. However, changing the topic of discussion isn't a long-term solution. We have to sort out the matter with Annabel as soon as possible.]
Annabel's illness had to be stabilized before she and Anthony could go public. 1
Things would take a turn for the worse if they stalled things even longer.
While it was initially to stop the Baileys from speculating unnecessarily, it had gotten to the point that it seemed to be getting out of control.
