Chapter 806
Waverly's posture was still strangely formal, elegant, and regal.
Charmine stared at her and coldly declared, "I know you guys are involved with the whole shenanigan about Julian. You guys even set up the love noodles from yesterday morning. I have one word for you: Know your place. You're just a doctor that we hired, and I hope you don't have thoughts that you shouldn’t be having."
Waverly frowned. "Charmine, how can you speak to me like this? Do you know how many people in the world are queuing for my help for as long as ten years?”
"So what? If you're unhappy, you may leave now. Annabel will be fine without you,” attested Charmine.
She showed no hint of gentleness in her voice; she was not giving in.
Charmine always felt that Waverly was more than what she portrayed herself. 1
Waverly had never been treated like this before. Who would not treat her with respect?
She calmed her mind. "I won't see things like you do. I'm a doctor. After treating Annabel, I'll leave on my own accord." 1
"Really? Then I hope you'll do as you’ve said. If you or your brother try anything funny, you'll be dealing with me." Charmine glared at her before turning to leave.
How was Waverly able to stay being Annabel's doctor and endured the words they said if nothing else anchored her to the position?
Something else made her stay, and that 'something' fueled her determination.
Waverly's target seemed to be Anthony, according to the development of things. Even if Waverly was able to treat Annabel, Charmine would not show her any respect.
With that in mind, she walked back to the room and acted as if she was worried. "Now that you spend so much time with Waverly, what if you fall in love with her?"
Anthony frowned. Charmine asking him such a question out of the blue meant she was playing mind games.
He went along with her, his thin lips curled up lovingly. "Don’t worry, she's ugly. She’s not even one-tenth of you!" 1
Waverly jolted as she walked down the corridor, and her fists clenched instinctively. 1
It was bad enough Charmine agitated her, but even Anthony said such things about her?
She was not as beautiful as Charmine?
She spent one whole month on her face so that... 6
A glint of anger flashed in her eyes. She marched away to the tunnel, walking back to the other villa.
Chris was getting ready to school when he saw Waverly. "Hey you, why's your face so dark?" he gasped in shock. "Did you not sleep well last night? Why do you seem ten years older?" 2
Ten years older?
However well Waverly's temper was, she was genuinely angry the moment she heard him!
Anthony called her ugly and that she was not one-tenth as beautiful as Charmine, and this boy called her old?! 1
Was she really that ugly?
Instantly, she marched into her bedroom and gazed at her reflection at the mirror, noting how utterly flawless it was.
Her facial features were beautiful and prepossessing with a hint of foreign exquisiteness.
She calmed down instantly, though her hands clenched tightly.
Her face was undoubtedly beautiful. Very beautiful. It was worth all the pain she had endured. 1
Anthony, Chris, and Charmine... This family of three was intentionally hurting her!
Recalling what happened just moments ago, she brought out her phone and phoned Max. "Was it you that set Julian up last night?" 1
'Yes. I wanted to destroy Charmine, and I wanted her to leave Anthony fast, but I didn't expect Anthony to come rushing!" Max did not hold back his anger, evident in his hostility-filled words.
Waverly's face instantly straightened. "Do you know what you’ve done? They've never slept before, but last night, they..."
Max, who was on the other side of the phone, smashed his fist onto the table.
Damn it! Not only did he fail, but he even hastened their romance? The bitter taste felt like eating a fly!
