Chapter 272: Chapter 274

Chapter 274 “In other words, if it wasn’t for the news, Scarlet might’ve never found out...”

Charmine’s eyes dulled at that; the douche had skillfully wiped his hands clean. Nonetheless...

Charmine turned her gaze and, with a low voice, declared, “The person who deserves to be dead isn’t you; it’s Johnson Spencer.

You have to live on. I’ll prove your innocence before the Horizon Night. Should I fail to do so, I’ll die with you.” Her cold tone lingered in the room as she turned to leave, her back seemingly regal and proud.

Scarlet had a frown on her face, yet there was a small glimmer in her eyes. Before Horizon Night? Prove her innocence? Horizon Night was only five days away, so how could Charmine prove her innocence in five days’ time?

She went viral as ‘the third-wheeler’; the third-wheel who destroyed another family. She could not even forgive herself, so how could Charmine save her?

Charmine sped off from the company, her eyes cloudy and stormy. No wonder Kelly allowed Scarlet to walk free; she set this all up to make her lose money! Charmine would lose up to 6 billion with Scarlet’s incident, not to mention all kinds of negative criticisms that would affect the company’s reputation! No matter it was for Scarlet or her own company, Charmine had to resolve the problem at hand...

Yet, since there was no evidence...

Hah!

Charmine pulled to a stop at the underground garage when she saw Chris pacing around in the garage anxiously. She got off the motorbike hastily and questioned, “Momo, what’s up? Why are you here?”

“Mommy, Mommy, you’re finally back! Waa... Momo saw your clip, Momo is terrified...! Waa ...!” Chris ran into her arms with his short and chubby legs.

Charmine frowned. “What clip?”

“This, the one where you jumped off the building to save this woman...! Waa... Momo is scared! Scared of Mommy getting hurt, scared of Mommy leaving Momo. After so many years, Momo finally found a Mommy that Momo likes... Waa...!” Chris sobbed as he handed his phone to Charmine. 1 It was not until then when she realized that the clip of her saving Scarlet was live-streamed and even made it to the headline.

Her agile figure earned herself a bunch of fans, though some berated her for saving a third-wheeler.

Charmine had no time to care for that. She kept the phone and ruffled Chris’ hair as she comforted, “Momo, don’t cry. I know what I’m doing. I never do things that I’m not confident in doing. No matter what happens in the future, Momo shouldn’t get upset because of Mommy and needs to believe in Mommy.

Alright?”

“Alright! But Momo still doesn’t want Mommy to risk her life. Momo only wants Mommy to b e daddy’s little princess and let Daddy handle these things. Even if it is to ask him to jump off the building!” Chris made a serious remark.

Charmine was dumbfounded.

Ask him to jump off the building? Did that mean she held a more important spot in Chris’ heart than Anthony?

Heart mellowed at the thought, she held onto his chubby little hand. “Momo is the best. Let’s go upstairs. Mommy will make you yummy dinner tonight, alright?”

Chris pulled on her hand and said, “No, Mommy, we can’t go up. Auntie McKenzie is home.”

Charmine frowned. “Auntie McKenzie?”

“Yeah, an auntie named McKenzie Houston. She’s with Daddy,” answered Chris.

There it was, a strange pang in her heart. So McKenzie came by, and she was with Anthony? Anthony let Chris wait for her down here in the garage while he spent alone time with McKenzie at home?
