Chapter 1259 As a streak of hatred flashed in Faye's eyes, it then left as her small face instantly turned pitiable and terrified.
"Charmine, why did you do this to me? I just bought you dinner-you didn't have to smash the bowl. My brother asked me to bring it to you."
Charmine looked at her face, and her red lips twisted into a smirk. "Itâs such a waste you didnât get into acting."
The door opened as Anthony, Frank, Guy, and Nial walked in.
Faye instantly went on her knees before Charmine and wailed, "I'm sorry, Charmine! Please, let me go...!"
Charmine looked up at the group of men and her gaze remained on Anthony's figure, thinking none of them would buy the lie.
Much to her dismay, their gazes turned judgemental and disappointed...
Her heart turned cold.
It seemed that Faye was indeed an innocent and kind lady to them.
Who would believe that she tried to kill her from the back?
Frank asked, "Faye, what happened?"
Faye was on her knees beside Charmine. She did not move and whimpered, "Brother, I listened to you and brought food to Charmine, but she threw them away instead of eating them. When I picked up, she pricked a needle into my neck and told me sheâd shut my mouth down... Waa.J" "Charmine." The confused Frank looked at her with his clear eyes. "Whatâs all this?" "Frank, she-" "Take out the needle," interjected Anthony lowly before Charmine could explain. 1 Charmine met his gaze with a hint of disappointment.
He truly believed what Faye said?
What a joke.
Anthony saw the disappointment in her eyes, and his hands clenched tightly.
If she did not take out the needle and left it there, Faye would win their pity and further wronged Charmine.
However, these thoughts...
Charmine seemed to ignore Anthony then and there as she extracted the needle from Faye's neck.
She was not ill-intentioned-she just wanted to scare Faye.
When she took out the needle, Faye started bowing at Charmine. "Thank you. Thank you, Charmine!"
This caused further misunderstanding. How evil was Charmine to have terrified an innocent lady like Faye!
Faye then ran behind Frank like a terrified bird as her figure trembled.
As though threatened, Faye feebly spoke, "Frank, you must teach her well. She's scary-" "Alright,â Frank cut her short. "You mustâve triggered her. I trust Charmine." 1 "Brother!" Faye looked at Frank as if she was wronged.
He was siding with Charmine?!
"Alright, go back," clipped Frank. "Charmine, get some rest." "Okay."
Everyone walked out of the room, including Anthony.
Charmine was rooted on the spot as she clenched her fists, gazing at Anthony's cold back.
Inhaling deeply, she walked to the window and peered to look at the moon dejectedly.
Nial, Guy, and Anthony went back to the men's room.
Nial looked at the stone-cold latter. "Bro, you believed what Faye said?"
Anthony squinted as he asked, "Do you?" "Of course not," came Nial's quick response.
Anthony had a 'so-do-l' look.
Of course he trusted Charmine; he just wanted her to take out the needle.
Faye twisted it against her, and with Frank around, he did not want to expose Faye to make it harder for Frank.
Guy sighed. They had wronged Charmine this time.
Nobody stood out to speak for her even though everyone knew Faye was lying, all because Frank was there. They did not want to make it difficult for him.
Anthony returned to the room, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks...
