Chapter 468 Despite everything that had happened, Charmine was intrigued to find out how much longer could Tiffany put on her act. As she was caught up in her thoughts, a loud growl came out of the blue. âCharmine! Give me back my grandson! Oh, I want to beat up a cheap woman like you to death!â
Charmine snapped out of her mini trance to see Zachary Young and Pam Hahn walking toward her. They were Joeyâs parents-
her grandparents. Joey was their only daughter, and they loved her children very much. They had saved a large sum of family assets for Tiffany and Robert. They were both on vacation when they heard that Robert was in danger. They rushed to the hospital right away soon after.
At that instance, Pam had raised her walker cane and was about to hit Charmine with it forcefully.
Charmine was unprepared at the sudden intrusion, still fresh out of her thoughts after all. Just as the walker cane was about to hit on her, a muscular hand grabbed the stick just in time. Swiftly after, Charmine was pulled into a warm and firm embrace. She looked up to see Anthonyâs handsome face, cold and serious that exuded an authoritative presence. 1 He wore a pair of matte black sunglasses that covered half of his face. Thus, only his sharp, somewhat domineering jaw was visible to them.
Pam did not recognize him as she shook her walker cane furiously. âWho are you? Let go of my walker cane! Iâm teaching my granddaughter a lesson! Get out of the way!â
âIâm protecting my woman. And, this has nothing to do with you,â chided Anthony in his deep voice as he let go of the walker.
Pam was shocked. His woman? Charmine was his woman?
A thought crossed Pamâs mind at that moment, and she scowled at Charmine, âOh, I get it now! No wonder Tiffany said that youâre keeping a wild man outside the house, and thatâs why youâre not coming home! Seems like itâs true!â âCharmine, do you think you can do anything now that you have some money? How dare you keep a wild man outside? Do you know how much of an embarrassment you are?â rebuked Zachary as he got closer. Anthony frowned. A wild man?
He never would have thought that someone would ever call the President of Bailey Corporation a wild man! They even humiliated his woman in front of him! Anthony raised his hand, about to remove his sunglasses. Charmine caught his hand, however, as she aimed her hardened gaze at them. âSo when I find an actual boyfriend, you call it embarrassment, but when Tiffany keeps sleeping with different men-including her fiancéâs assistantâwhat do you call that?â (20) As her crisp and clear voice rang in the air, the two eldersâ faces stiffened instantly. They instantly became even more agitated at her words. They were on a cruise vacation when that whole fiasco went down. The cruise was going to a mystery island which took them two months back and forth without stopping. They had to stay and wait on the cruise. To them, Tiffany had always been their favorite and most precious granddaughter. They never expected something like that would happen! Once they got back last night, they phoned Joey right away. When Joey told them the truth, they were furious!
After a moment of shock, Pamâs glare toward Charmine sharpened even more. âHow dare you mention this? Your mother picked you up from the bin and put on you some clothes. Youâre not only ungrateful, but you even plotted to ruin the Jordan family and Tiffany! Tiffany wouldâve never been ruined had you not planned her reputationâs demise! Iâve never met any as ungrateful as you in my entire life!â Yet another called Charmine ungrateful.
Charmine had grown immune to such accusations. A mocking smirk appeared on her red lips. âIf you insist that Iâm the ungrateful one, then let it be. I donât care!â She scoffed as she held on Anthonyâs hand and walked past them, shoulder to shoulder. Her gait was cold and crisp, undeniably arrogant.
