Chapter 450 Senior Jordan never anticipated things were not what they seemed... If he was to transfer his properties to Charmine, the entire family would object. He thus waved dismissively. âNot now.â
At Violet Villa.
Charmine charged her phone and turned on the silent mode, preparing for her flight to Kansas. She carried Chris in her arms and read stories to him so he would fall asleep. Chris eventually fell asleep at 11pm. Charmine placed him in bed and said to Anthony in a low voice, âI need to go out. Take good care of Momo.â âThis dead of night?â Anthony looked up from his document.
Charmine nodded. âRobertâs in a challenging situation, and I need to save him.â âI can arrange-â
âI know you can send someone in my stead, but itâs no use. This is a special situation, and I need to go there myself. Just stay home and take care of Momo,â Charmine cut him short as she spoke with a determined tone.
She walked into the dressing room and took out her agent costume. Anthony did not fight back at the sight of a determined, mind-made-up Charmine. Still, after she left, he took out his phone to instruct Luke, âBring a hundred men to watch over Charmine from the back.â âYes, Sir!â Charmine drove a compact car from her villa, but it was only then she noticed the few missed calls from Senior Jordan on her phone. She quickly rang his phone, all to no avail. Perhaps her grandfather was fast asleep by this time. Senior Jordan would not usually call her and would not give her a few missed calls all at once. With doubts in her mind, Charmine made a U-turn and headed for the Jordan mansion. She made a quick act to phone Kay as well on her way.
âPostpone the flight for an hour-Iâm going back to the Jordan mansion first.â
The Jordan mansionâs gate had closed and the lights had gone off at 11pm. Everyone was fast asleep. The grand-looking gate was firmly closed, and only a soft glow from the lamp by the gate illuminated the residence. Charmine swiftly got out of her car and rang the gateâs bell, and a guard eventually opened the gate. When he saw it was Charmine, he said politely, âYouâre back, Ms. Jordan?â
âIâm here to find Grandpa.â Charmine made her way inside. She did not manage to walk a few steps more when the guard stopped her. âIâm sorry, but Senior Jordan is quite upset today and is asleep. If Ms. Jordan wants to go in, Iâll have to inform Sir and Madam first.â
Charmine narrowed his eyes. Inform them first? Since when did she have to inform them before coming home?
Sure, nobody liked her even at a young age, but no one stopped her from coming home. They would not do that to her.
âDid anything happen today?â the question spilled from her lips coldly and firmly. âIâm not too sure. Sir instructed us in the evening that if you come back, they canât let you walk past this gate without informing them first. Kindly understand that Iâm just doing my job,â answered the guard politely, his head lowered as he did.
The guard beside him called Adam at that moment, and it was not long before he picked up.â Charmineâs back? Let her have the phone!â .
The guard handed the phone to Charmine. Charmine received it with a cold face, intrigued to find out what Adam had to say.
