Chapter 21 Charmine scoffed at Julianâs reply and typed out her own.
[Someone might as well make up his mind on whether to eat human sh*t or cow sh*t. Maybe pick up some dog sh*t by the road?]
No one was making it easier for the other side as a century worth of gamble was announced. The fans on Weibo went crazy at this as the bets were huge. A live stream of eating actual sh*t versus 10 billion worth of cash; what else could be wilder than this? Everyone could hardly wait for Chanelâs show tomorrow.
Charmine never lost her composure as she merely threw her phone aside. Turning to Eric, she then spoke, âBe prepared for tomorrow.â
âDonât worry. I wonât let you down.â With that, Eric turned and left.
He was just Charmineâs agent, thus he would not be staying at her villa. Charmine locked the door the moment he exited and went to bed early.
The same did not go for Tiffany.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She did not know why, but she had a strange feeling that Charmine came back as an entirely different person. It was rather impressive that she could buy the black-green meteorite stone. As Julianâs lover, it would embarrass her to no end if Julian was to lose the challenge.
As though a light bulb went off in her head, she walked out of her room and knocked on Ameliaâs bedroom door.
The door opened, and Tiffany was met with Ameliaâs puzzled look. âTiffany, youâre still awake?â
âMhm... I thought of Charmine, and I just canât sleep. Iâm worried about you.â Tiffany sighed.
Amelia frowned. âWorried about me? What is there to be worried about?â
âOh, Amelia... Iâm sure you saw what Charmine wrote online. Sheâs marketing her image as âstraightforward and arrogantâ just like you, and sheâs behaving way more ostentatious than you.â
Tiffany then added, âIf she charms everyone with her final appearance at the show tomorrow night, Iâm afraid that she might replace you.â
âReplace me? What? Does she have what it takes?â Amelia refuted mockingly, as she eyed Tiffany.
âTiffany, are you out of your mind? Iâve been in this industry for five years. Iâm not as popular as you, but Iâm one of the top ten supermodels in the country. Sheâs nothing but a newbie. How is she going to replace me?â
Tiffany clung to her hand as she convinced her, âAmelia, the fact that she was signed by Chanel today is already a sign that she does have some skills. Didnât you notice that sheâs completely different from before? Donât take it too lightheartedly.â
Hearing all these, Amelia then recalled the look on Charmineâs face when she was on the stage. Her face was attractive, so attractive that any woman would envy her, with beautiful legs so long and perfectly shaped.
A strange sense of danger raised from within, Amelia then firmly replied, âDonât worry, Iâll try my best.
Iâll practice my steps right away.â
âOne more thing, Amelia: Please take good care of yourself. Charmine has harmed me twice since her return, and Iâm worried she might harm you too. Be careful,â Tiffany reminded her with a soft tone.
âStill, these are just my suspicions, and Charmine is still family. Be nice to her, and donât make the relationship worse.â
As Tiffany walked out of her sight, Ameliaâs face darkened. Harm her and replace her? No way!
She took out her phone and made a phone call.
...
At 8 oâclock the next day, everyone on the Internet was anticipating the live stream of Chanelâs show.
Charmine woke up early to get ready, but as she was ready to leave the house, she realized the door was stuck. She pushed and pulled the doorknob but it did not help. The door was locked from the outside.
She was almost impressed that someone could pull such a childish and low-level trick under her nose.
She thought she might as well play along.
Her lips curled into a sneer. Instead of banging on the door, she walked back into her house.
