Chapter 841
Anthony's brows furrowed. ‘People from the world's medical research society will be coming, too?'
Charmine did not expect Waverly's incident would cause such huge press.
Susan added again, 'Waverly is at Violet Villa's entrance as we speak, waiting for you to open up the door. No matter how bad your fights get, outsiders still don't know about Charmine's existence. You guys should at least keep up with the act and handle the masses with much care." 1
Anthony snorted at that, calm as he was, and was about to reject the idea when Charmine held his wrist and with her gaze, hinted at him. 2
Anthony noticed that she was against his idea and hung up the call decisively. He asked, feeling crossed, "Are you still not willing to disclose it, my lady?" 1
"It's not time yet. If we’re to come out with the truth now, not only will we face the schemes of your family but the entire world's scorn as well. This goes especially for Kansas and the D'Cruz family; they won't let US off the hook that easily," reasoned Charmine rationally.
"We've already received the certificate,” countered Anthony huskily, "why still be afraid of them? No matter what danger lies ahead, I'll settle them."
"But I want that day, the day we disclose our relationship, to be a day the world celebrates it, not one filled with the entire universe's hate. They wanted to do that live broadcast because they wanted to show the world about how lovey-dovey you and Waverly would be. They want me to know my standing and retreat.
"Since the Bailey family wanted to lay a finger on me, then why not we lay a finger on Waverly first?" 1
Charmine’s eyes gleamed as she talked.
Anthony knew what she was trying to express. He stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair. "You're smart, my lady. Tonight, I'll be prepared to enjoy the show."
"Alright. Wait until the reporters are gone, then I'll go look for you. You have to have patience no matter what happens," reminded Charmine.
Outside of another villa...
Waverly was sitting in the car, waiting quietly.
In another five minutes, the people from the medical research center would be coming over to conduct an interview. She was done for if Anthony did not return.
'Do they have to go overboard when I've already gotten some results?!'
As she was deep in her thoughts, the lights in the villa lit up as the main door opened.
Waverly sighed in relief as it happened. Her pink lips like cherry curled up in satisfaction.
'I knew they'd give in. In the end, I'm still Anthony's fiancee!' 1
She walked into the villa elegantly and noticed Anthony sitting on the sofa, with his entire body giving off a calm, prestigious aura.
Such a stellar man could make a person's heart race with just a glance at him.
'Such a regal man should never marry Charmine!'
She concealed her thoughts and, as if nothing had happened, said elegantly, "Mr. Bailey, the men from the medical research center will be here soon. Rest assured, I'll never reveal any news about Ms. Jordan." 1
"I hope you'll be more honest instead," Anthony blurted coldly, histone blatantly disdainful.
He had that urge, that itch to reveal his status with Charmine...
Susan then came in from outside with brows furrowed.
"Anthony, is this how you treat Ms. D'Cruz? At the very least, she had helped you guys keep it a secret for such a long time. Because of her kind and generous self, she's willing to return!"
"Why don’t you marry this 'kind, generous lady’ instead?" Anthony glanced at her coldly. 2
"You...!" Susan was apoplectic with rage.
She was very aware of Anthony's temper and did not wish to speak another word with him. She pulled Waverly and, bringing her to a safe distance, softly coaxed, "Waverly, thank you for your willingness to return. Don't you worry: No matter what feelings Anthony has for Charmine, the daughter-in- law that the Bailey family acknowledges will only be you!
"For the coming days, you just have to be more patient, and you must stay by Anthony's side. Develop your relationship with him as the days go on.
"As for Charmine, I've already had plans to take her down. You’ll just have to enjoy the show!"
Waverly's eyes glinted.
'Susan plans to lay a finger on Charmine? She's a very cruel lady. Surely, Charmine's path would be as rocky as it could get from now on!’
