Chapter 996
Charmine frowned. She asked suspiciously, "Why?' 'To be honest with you, that red wolf bone doesn’t just belong to the Chernys; me and Guy's father found it. However, he's mostly at sea, so the bone is kept in the Cherny mansion. I phoned them up earlier to let them know that I'm giving the bone to you, and while they agreed to it, you'll have to marry Guy,” Hugh explained patiently. 2
Charmine's eyes narrowed. To get married to Guy?
"Not happening. Mr. Cherny, I told you on the first day that I was married with a child."
'That’s why I said that I can't let you have it for now. You need to think it through," replied Hugh.
Charmine clenched her fists. 1
That meant they would not give her the red wolf bone until she married Guy, did it not?
How was she supposed to explain everything to Anthony without the bone? 1
She asked, "Didn't you tell the Grangers about my past? I told Guy that we won't work out. The Grangers deserve someone better."
"Charmine, what era are we in? The Grangers aren't narrow-minded people.
They checked on you and said you have potential. They admire independent women like you, and they don't mind about your family or your past with Julian. As for your relationship with Anthony, they knew that the child isn't yours. Even if he is, the Grangers voiced out, The woman that even Anthony fell for is unique.' They want you. So, I think..." 1
Hugh sighed. "I'm stuck in the middle. I'm a man of my word, but they took the bone away. If you don’t want to be with Guy, the Cherny family will owe you a favor." 2
His tone was hopeless and apologetic.
If Hugh was the one not letting her have the bone, Charmine could still beat him up. However, Hugh made it clear that he did not have a say in
this. What else could she say?
"I understand," came her simple reply.
With that, she turned and walked away.
Charmine drove out of the Cherny mansion, restless as she did.
She failed to get the bone. How was she supposed to tell Anthony everything? 1
She was busy for nothing in the past few days!
She thought she could officiate their relationship once she got the bone. They could get married publicly, and it would be worth all the troubles. 2
Little did she expect this to happen...
If Anthony found out about her contact with Guy, he would be so mad!
He might want to kill her... 1
Meanwhile, at Violet Residence.
