Chapter 812
Max would not have done anything that could injure civilians if he genuinely just wanted to take over the Jordan Group. Everything should have been purely legal business competition. 2
Charmine would have been wounded or even died had she had poor reflexes at the construction site.
Her instinct told her that Max hated her, that he disliked her from the beginning and came to attack her.
Charmine's gaze was cold like a frozen ice-mirror, glaring as sharply as an X-ray, penetrating through the darkness of one’s deepest intention.
Max had gone through many daunting experiences in life, yet her keen gaze still made him feel guilty.
Taking a moment to regain his calm, he then replied lowly, "Perhaps Ms. Jordan is overthinking things-l've always been this way. You've obstructed Waverly's progress, took my Jordown Group, and ruined my reputation. Such are the reasons why I hate you dearly, so much so I want you dead every second. To be honest with you, I wanted to destroy your face today so that you can never marry into the Bailey family. Anthony won't even bat an eye at you once your beauty is ruined!"
Charmine frowned. Everything made sense, plausible indeed.
Still, she felt that something was off. The hatred Max had for her was not built up in merely a few days.
Not able to figure it out just yet, Charmine shrugged off the thought as she eyed Max. "Doesn’t matter if you don't tell the truth. Eat this."
She took out a pill and pushed it toward Max.
It was a black-colored capsule...much like a poisonous drug!
Max frowned instantly. "Why would I?"
'This."
Taking out her phone and placing it on the table, Charmine played a recording that blared through the speakers:
"Argh! Save me! I'll tell you-l'll tell you all! It was Max D'Cruz! He asked me to do this... He wanted to burn your face...argh! Save me! I can’t take it anymore!"
Max's face darkened. He expected Amelia to have told the truth, but he did not expect Charmine to have recorded it. 1
Was she using yet another evidence to threaten him?
"Is this all you’ve got, Charmine!?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as it works!" Charmine kept the phone and glared at him coldly, "You bribing people to hurt US, even though it failed, will land you in prison for three months. If you don't eat this pill, I'll report you and send you to prison today!" ■
Max's eyelids jumped. Approximately three months? 1
He was a well-known figure in Kansas. If he went to prison for three months, his reputation would crumble horribly!
Charmine laid back on the chair and reminded him languidly, "Don't worry, this isn't a poisonous drug. It’s just a controlling drug. It’ll have side effects once a month, and you’ll experience excruciating and painful rashes all over your organs. As long as you don't do me or Jordan Group any harm, I'll give you the antidote every month on time. If you don't listen to me, you will
Hah!” 1
