Chapter 1091 "Don't be mad, Charmine," coaxed Yvonne. "Didn't you want to know Susan's secret? As long as you forgive me, Iâll tell you about and help you to gain the entire Baileysâ approval!â
That brought Charmine out of her thoughts.
She could look into Yvonne's vitamin later; she had to know about Susan's secret.
"I'm going to have to ask you both to leave," she spoke to Nial and Guy. "I need to speak with Ms. Yvonne."
"No way! You can't be in the same room with a woman like her!" argued Guy.
Yvonneâs face straightened. "Hey! What do you mean, a woman like me?"
"You should know yourself better.â Guy's expression was unusually cold.
He stared at Yvonne with no hint of gentleness and friendliness.
Charmine repeated herself, "Mr. Granger, leave us alone. I know what I'm doing, and I can take care of myself."
Guy wanted to insist, but he knew Charmine was not one to budge, thus he aimed his pointed stare at Yvonne. "If you do anything that harms her again, the Grangers wonât let you go easy!"
This was the first time Yvonne saw Guy so enraged. His entire being seemed apathetic and merciless; he intimidated her. i Nial glared at her. "Yvonne, behave!"
Both men left the room together and closed the door behind.
Still, they dared not to stay too far away as they stood watch outside the door.
Back in the room, Charmine looked up at Yvonne once they were gone.
"Now, you may speak."
"Of course, but you have to promise not to tell Anthony about what happened in the past two days. I'll help you from now on, and I can even make sure Anthony doesnât get jealous about you and Guy anymore," promised Yvonne.
Charmine scoffed, "You're scared now? Why werenât you scared when you did those things?" 1 "I thought it'd be fun. I promise I won't do it again, but you have to give me your word on this. I'll only tell once you promise,"
proclaimed Yvonne proudly.
Her personality did not deter Charmine, however, as she smirked. "Donât worry, I know when to keep quiet. Tell me."
"You said it yourself-l trust you!" Yvonne smiled with satisfaction before her face turned solemn. "Susan's secret is quite something. Don't let her know I was the one who told you about it, though. I might as well be dead if you do."
Charmine frowned. "If you keep making it so mysterious, I can't promise you."
"Don't!" Yvonne held her hand as she then began in a low voice, "I came across Susan's diary when I stayed in the Bailey mansion for a few days ago. About twenty years ago, when she went abroad to study, she had an affair and gave birth to a baby.
She had been looking for that child all these years!â 1 Charmine frowned. Was there such a thing?
The formal and elegant Susan had an affair, and she even gave birth to a baby?!
Did that not imply Anthony had a brother?
