Chapter 1098 McKenzie saw how everything transpired: Charmine had hurt Waverly, and she even had a clip of Max with her. Her two chess pieces slowly turned useless with that.
Perhaps she was the only reliable one left.
She must not allow Charmine to recover. She would not let go of such a good opportunity to pair up Guy with Charmine!
McKenzie suddenly asked, "Isn't there an invitation to a banquet? Will the Grangers go?"
'Yeah, but didn't you say itâs just a useless gathering hosted by the seniors trying to pair up their grandchildren? You want to go?"
asked her assistant McKenzie's red lips curled up. "Of course I will."
The night had fallen.
Sure enough, Charmine's migraine did not hit her throughout the day.
She received the medication Uncle Sam had sent her that night, and she made sure Guy ate it.
Anthony personally prepared the diet dishes for Guy, and it was he who handed them to him.
Yvonne, on the other hand, sat with Guy and made sure he did not talk to Charmine.
Everything went smoothly as planned, yet the next morning...
Charmine sent Chris to the car, but just as she saw Chris leaving and as she was about to re-enter the villa, a sharp pain suddenly overwhelmed her. 1 She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Standing near her, Yvonne quickly went forward and caught her as she cried out, "Someone! Help!"
Guy, drinking water at that moment, tossed the glass aside while Anthony, just putting on his shirt on the second floor, rushed downstairs without buttoning up his shirt.
Nial slid down the staircase railing from the third floor.
In the blink of an eye, the three men arrived before Charmine. 1 Skilfully, Nial took out the syringe ready to extract blood from Guy when...
"Stop! Stop it right now!"
An old, hoarse, yet frantic voice was heard.
Everyone looked over to see Grandma Granger coming their way! 1 She staggered forward with her walking stick as she anxiously rushed toward them.
When she saw the scars on Guy's arms, her heart ached. "So this is what you've been doing! You used your own blood to save her! How can you be so silly? How could you do this to yourself, your family, and your ancestors?!" 2 Guy frowned.
Charmine abruptly groaned in pain as beads of sweat broke out.
Not hesitating, Guy snapped at Nial, "Continue, hurry!"
Nial was about to put the needle into Guy's arm when Grandma Granger suddenly took out a dagger and pressed it against her neck.
"Stop it! If any of you touch my grandson, I'll die here! As long as I'm here, none of you are allowed to harm him!"
Anthony's eyes were cold. He signaled Luke who was by the door.
Luke was about to confiscate the dagger from her, but little did he anticipate...
Guy also took out a knife and pressed it against his throat. "Grandma, if you stop me from saving Ms. Jordan, I donât mind killing myself, too!" he called out. 1 He was about to stab into his own throat!
The sharp knife penetrated his skin as fresh blood oozed out.
If he pressed on deeper, he would have cut his throat. Nobody would be able to save him!
