Chapter 445 Charmine saw how Anthonyâs gaze hardened at her question as though hesitating over some complex questions. It was a rare sight to see. She asked, âWhat? That tough, huh?â
âNo.â Anthony snapped back to reality as he abruptly turned his intense gaze toward her.â Charmine, promise me one thing.â
âHuh?â Charmine was confused.
Anthony looked at her and spoke with a solemn tone, âThere might be some challenging situations coming up, so please show me enough trust. Iâll be able to solve them. You canât be persuaded by anyone for anything.â He wore such a grave, serious expression as he spoke. Charmine had a gut feeling that it was nothing good. Was it something about the incident from five years ago?
Anthony was also investigating his incident. Had he found something that induced concern she would get jealous or have hard feelings? Her red lips curled into a faint smile. âDonât worry. When I decide to be with someone, I wonât change my mind easily.
Itâs not love if I change my course.â
Her answer only made him more pensive. Was it love that she felt for him after all?
Anthony hoped he could clear up his mess as quickly as he could. After he left to sort out some documents, Charmine looked at his retreating form and could barely help herself from texting Kay: (Ask the Uncles if they have any new findings on Anthonyâs incident from five years ago.]
His reply came swiftly. [Kay: Ok, Iâll ask when Iâve time, but weâve got a more serious topic that requires your immediate attention.) (Kay: I just received the latest update that Tiffany has started to try selling her shares secretly, and theyâll be sold in the next two days. Furthermore, she just went to the office. Seems like thereâs a big project going on.) [Kay: Above all, weâve investigated Uji Quinâs mansion and found that he had infrared detectors installed all over the mansion and the mountain. The terrain is so complex that even with our skills, we canât guarantee to bring Robert out safely.) Charmine frowned. Had Tiffany gone all out?
If even Kay and his men could not guarantee it, it showed that it was an incredibly difficult feat to accomplish. That meant Charmine had to go on her own.
It was not that she was more skilled than Kay and his men, it was just that she was a woman her body was more flexible and soft. Back at the training base, everyone saw her potential. However capable and well-trained the men were, getting away from the infrared detectors was extremely difficult while she would get past every detector without triggering them.
Everyone had their forte, and this was hers.
After a moment of thought, Charmine replied: [Keep an eye on Tiffany and do as Iâve planned. Whatâs Robertâs current situation now? Is he hurt?â
[Kay: Not hurt, but itâs complex. Robert doesnât know heâs being kidnapped. Uji Quin used all kinds of excuses to lie to him, telling him that humansâ potential reached the peak when starving, and Robert believed him. He hasnât eaten or drank anything since he got there!]
Charmine was dumbfounded at the news. Robert was a smart guy! How could he be so dumb when it came to gaming? He might starve to death if she stayed idle. Looking at Chris who was in the dining room, she replied: [Prepare a plane. Iâm leaving for Kansas tonight at 12am.] It would only take two hours to fly from Burlington to Kansas, and if she acted quickly, she would get back before the sun came out.
Tiffany did not go home after leaving Mile-End Mall. She went straight to the Jordan Group and asked for a board meeting.
