Chapter 1047 Max stomped his feet furiously as his expression contorted bitterly.
Charmine had used this to threaten him for so many times! It was not easy for them to have found a way to save Waverly, yet Charmine was taking that away! 1 How he wished the Grangers could get to Charmine! Unfortunately, the video footage of him was in Charmine's hands. An evil woman like her would leak that any time! i How would the D'Cruz family look at him if it was leaked? How would Waverly look at him? How would the world look at him? i The D'Cruz family's reputation would be ruined!
As he was hesitating, he heard footsteps coming from not far away. He looked up to see Waverly weakly making her way to him with Britney's help.
He looked around and quickly composed his thoughts.
When Waverly walked to his side, she asked curiously, âHow is it? Have you sorted it out?"
"Waverly, I'm sorry..." Max looked solemn. He reached out to support her.
Being clever enough to discern the atmosphere, Britney left to give them space.
He continued, "Charmine hacked into my phone system. She damaged the original file, and I'm afraid..."
Waverlyâs hand trembled. "What did you say? What about the recorder?"
To avoid getting exposed, she only planted the most basic listening device. There was no backup to it.
She had to use another recorder to record what she heard.
Max saw the disappointment written on her face, and he was worried. He said, "I connected the recorder to the phone. I didn't duplicate it, I transferred the original..."
He did not duplicate the recording. He transferred the original recording to his phone, and that meant the original recording was no longer in the recorder.
Waverly staggered and almost fell onto the floor.
Max quickly held on to her and comforted, "Waverly, I'm sorry. This is my mistake. I'll think of another way to help you, and I'll make sure Charmine treats you as soon as possible!" 1 Waverly was furious. She wanted to yell at him, but this man was the heir of the DâCruz family. 2 She could only purse her lips and withhold this painful moment, only able to be sullen.
Max was just as upset. He had to comfort Waverly while thinking of a way to attack Charmine. 1 The sky gradually darkened and night had fallen again.
Charmine already had three migraines during the day, but the pain was eased using Guy's blood. It was bearable.
She had contacted Senior Jordan to explain about the rumors online. She comforted them while sorting out some work, being the productive busy bee she was.
Anthony, on the other hand, was rather upset. His shower was even restless as the scenes during the day recurred in his head.
Every time, Guy would save Charmine with his blood while Charmine would look at Guy with guilt.
She had always been cold like frost to Julian and Alexander, but to Guy?
She acted differently to Guy. Completely different. 1 With that in mind, Anthony felt an anger arousing in his chest.
Outside, Charmine was about to sleep when she suddenly received a call.
"Charmine," Dior began in panic, "is Brother with you? Did something happen to him?"
It was not until then when she recalled that after she picked Guy up in the morning. She had not been in touch with the Grangers then.
She said in a low voice, "Donât worry; heâs doing okay. Weâre experimenting with some antidotes, and he volunteered to stay back."
"Really? Grandma doesn't believe it. She forced me to come out to look for my Brother. Unless you ask him to tell us through the phone..." said Dior.
Charmine frowned. She could only go downstairs.
Not long after she was gone, Anthony walked out from the bathroom, and his brows furrowed when she was nowhere in sight.
