Chapter 898 Scrutinized by their gaze, a glint of panic was ignited in her eyes, though she remained calm and explained, "Indeed, I was the last person with Grandma Bailey, but after a while, Grandma Bailey said she wanted to be alone, so I left her.
"When I noticed that Grandma Bailey hadn't come back after a long while, I got worried and so I asked everyone to look for her together. As she said, she fainted. Itâs common for elders to have high pressure."
With that said, she looked at Charmineâs phone. "As for why Momo is in trouble, perhaps we should find Momo first. Everything will be explained."
Her words were rational and calm.
Susan eyed her again. Was it really not her?
Other than her, who else would attack Charmine? 1 It seemed they had to find Chris before making a conclusion.
"Use all our men," said Anthony to Luke, already ahead of them, "Find Momo!"
"Yes, Sir!" answered Luke and left right away.
Anthony said to the crowd, "We have a situation now. Please leave."
The crowd nodded and left.
After leaving the Bailey mansion, they all gossiped among themselves.
"Why do I feel that Anthony has no feelings for Waverly, that he cared for Charmine instead?" 2 "I never heard Chris calling Waverly 'Mommy', but he called Charmine that?â
"Hey, Anthony helped Charmine to wipe off her sweat! Thinking closely, he even had his family standing up for Charmine!"
"What happened today was obviously someone framing Charmine. If thereâs nothing between Charmine and Anthony, why would they frame her?" 1 "My thoughts exactly! Have you forgotten? It was Susan's assistant who killed the thirteen lives! Perhaps Anthony likes Charmine, but the Bailey family is keeping him from being with her?"
The crowd added onto one another. Startled at the development, they vaguely had an answer in their minds.
Inside the mansion...
Anthony glared at the remaining people in the scene.
"Every one of you misunderstood Charmine. Don't you all owe her an explanation?"
Kay said instantly, "Exactly. If we hadn't stopped you from getting to her, you guys would've taken her down, and you wouldâve had a hand in killing Grandma's Bailey. An apology is a must!"
Susan gritted her teeth. She had to apologize to Charmine?
She was a senior!
Still recovering from the aftershock, Senior Bailey said, "No need to apologize; anyone would've misunderstood given the situation. However, Charmine did save my wife, and we thank you for that. Why don't you stay for a meal today while we wait for news on Momo."
With that said, he did not give Charmine any chance to reject as he left with his walking stick.
Kay and his men were displeased. They were about to speak up but Charmine gave them a look.
Despondent, the Gragoul team reluctantly jumped over the walls and disappeared right away.
Their movements were nimble and lithe, much like special agents would.
The crowd watched them in shock.
Charmine had such bodyguards? Each of them far surpassed the Baileys' bodyguards... 1 Anthony did not care for the crowd. He took Charmine's hand into his and left. 1 That left Waverly, Susan, and Darryl. 1 Waverly frowned. She looked at Susan and explained, "It really wasnât me. However much I dislike Charmine, I wonât try to harm Grandma.â
"Don't worry, have some rest and wait for the news. Once we find Momo, everyone will have an answer." Susan patted Waverly's shoulder and left. In her heart, she vaguely had her conclusion.
