Chapter 772
Charmine had the authority to make decisions in Burlington. After all, she was from the second largest family of Burlington and the number one real property company, especially the project of Divine Bird that attracted the attention of many parties.
"Such a person will possess a much unique vision. Does she have any special idea toward this diplomatic marriage?”
Everyone eyed Charmine anticipatingly.
Charmine felt as though her heart was choked. 'Is Max trying to rub salt to my wound with that question? Is he trying to force me to comment in the public, that Waverly and Anthony made a perfect match?1
'He really is cruel. But...'
Expression tranquil and unperturbed, Charmine smirked. "I’m sorry, but I never like gossiping about other people's love life to begin with."
It felt like a backhanded comment, calling out everyone for being busybodies.
Max's face stiffened momentarily at her comeback, but not a moment later, he said coldly, 'The engagement between Mr. Bailey and Ms. D'Cruz isn't just a personal matter. It's also a grand occasion for both countries, a diplomatic marriage between two countries. You, as the top ten richest people in Burlington, should at least comment and voice out your opinion." 1
"What if I say they're not a match? Will they just call off the marriage?" Charmine counter-questioned.
"Of course not!" snapped Max. "It's just that-"
"Then why bother asking me?" Charmine immediately blasted, rendering Max speechless.
That woman had a way with her words. Regardless of the occasion, she would never let anyone have the opportunity to step up.
A babble of talk broke out among the crowd. 'They're right about Charmine; it's no surprise everyone calls her Boss Jordan!"
Anthony's eyes seemingly glinted with faint pride and love.
'She really is my lady. A stellar comeback!'
Mr. Hahn noticed that the atmosphere was rather agitated and went forth to calm the scene, "Everybody, let's just chat casually. It's only normal for everyone to express their ideas! Mr. Bailey and Ms. D’Cruz are a perfect match, and Ms. Jordan's characteristic is also very unique. I’m sure she'll meet her Prince Charming in the future as well."
Anthony's brows furrowed as his eyes dulled unpleasantly.
Charmine’s expression grew darker as well. 'Prince Charming?'
Mr. Hahn wiped off the sweat over his forehead. 'Why is the atmosphere growing more awkward the more I try to fix it?’
Noticing Charmine's displeasure, Max’s thin lips curved into a smirk again. Oh, how he wanted to hurt Charmine badly!
He then said with a cold smile, half-teasing, "With a personality like Ms. Jordan, I wonder what kind of man she’ll look up to. I'm afraid she'll look for someone who has no self-opinion and is afraid of his wife, right?” 1
The assistant following beside Max added, "Haha! That's right! Maybe she’ll even find someone with a temper that’s even worse and quarrel every single day. Still, Mr. Bailey and Miss D'Cruz are the best. They're just like angels, meant for each other, the perfect match!" 1
That comment basically meant that Charmine and Anthony were not a match to each other, and they would only end up yelling each other’s ears off if they did get together. Waverly, on the other hand, was the perfect match for Anthony!
Charmine turned her gaze to Anthony and Waverly.
One was prestigious and charming while the other was elegant. They both were like statues created by the gods. 'They really do look quite a match to each other, but..'
"As the saying says, to beat is to care, and to scold is to love. Mr. Bailey and Ms. D’Cruz both have incredibly pleasant characteristics, but won't life be boring if they're both like that, together? Is it going to be all business
and doing things professionally?" 1
