Chapter 1090 Guy was right. They forgot about that detail! 2 Charmine's migraines had yet to hit her, even from last night, and Charmine woke up listless to boot.
Nial glared at Yvonne. "Yvonne, what have you done? What did you do to Charmine?"
"I...actually didn't do anything. I just fed her the vitamin Grandma used on me, and it needs to be taken one day prior for the effects to kick in the next day. The wine was just a catalyst," Yvonne explained. 1 Yesterday, when she asked Anthony to buy Charmine some supper, she had bribed the staff to put the vitamin on the grill. 1 Nialâs fists clenched tightly. So Yvonne had worked her plan on Charmine from yesterday!?
Yvonne was the cause of Charmine's lethargic state in the morning, when all the while, they worried that something else had happened to Charmine! 1 Enraged, Nial glared at Yvonne. "Anthony will have your head, Yvonne! He'll toss you to Africa! He won't care about you ever!"
"No! You must keep this from Anthony, you can't tell him! I wonât do it again, promise!" whimpered Yvonne.
She did not fear her parents and family, but that cousin of hers scared her.
After all, Anthony would not care about anything else when enraged!
Guy scoffed coldly, "With someone like Ms. Yvonne staying here, it'll only get worse. I won't help you to keep this as a secret!"
"Hey, how can you say that? What rights do you have to criticize me? Do you think your Granger family is much better? If your family didnât drug her, she wouldn't be experiencing so much pain! I merely wanted to test her personality, to find out if sheâs good enough for Anthony. Everyone will be tested!" Yvonne refuted. 1 Guy glared at her coldly. "Yes, the Grangers made a mistake, and I'm here to make amends for it all. Thatâs all Iâm doing: making it up to her and nothing else! What about you? Youâre just destroying and ruining things! You claim to be testing her personality, but have you thought of what rights you even have to test Charmine? If Charmine wants to be with me, why would she go through all the pain? She would've become Mrs. Granger long ago! She left this honor behind to be met with your Bailey family's scrutiny! This is her determination-thereâs no doubt about it!" 3 Guy's words were assertive and powerful. He had not been angry for so long, and he had only used such a tone when he served in the army.
He never wanted to lash out at women, but thinking of how Charmine was almost harmed by Yvonne's bat, how Charmine became listless because of her, he could not hold back his anger.
Yvonne lowered her head at his words, completely at a loss for words.
He had a point. The fact that Charmine was willing to come home with them was already her greatest determination, and yet she tested her for so long...
She pursed her lips as she turned her gaze to Charmine. "Charmine, I promise that I've learned my lesson. I won't do this again.
Iâll take good care of you in the future, and I owe you. If you ever have any problem, I'll help you!"
Charmine, meanwhile, leaned on the pillow languidly as the blanket draped over her. She watched on as they spoke.
It was as if she had nothing to do with this; as if she was watching a show, but she was actually considering a fact that nobody noticed.
She did not suffer from migraines after eating Yvonne's vitamin. What did that imply?
Could the vitamins repress the poison in her? 1 Seeing that Charmine did not speak, Yvonne was scared that she was livid enough to tell Anthony what she had done.
