Chapter 913 Although he believed in Charmine's capability, he could not take any risk. He had to hang up and go to the company.
Inside the office, Senior Bailey sat on the sofa with his eyes closed. He tapped his walking stick to the ground from time to time, the staff embroidered with a handcrafted dragon head at the hilt.
In came Anthony as he sat opposite to the elder. "What do you want to do?" he asked dully.
Senior Bailey finally opened his eyes, and not beating around the bush, said, "Tomorrow is Waverly's birthday banquet. You need to be with her all the way."
"Have you forgotten that Charmine saves Grandmaâs life? I've told you all about my relationship with Waverly," Anthony bit back coldly, and his displeasure showed on his face.
"Charmine saved your Grandma, and it's fair we will thank her for it," said Senior Bailey. "We've prepared a handsome gift for her tomorrow. Thinking of being with Charmine, on the other hand? Forget about it!"
His tone was very determined as he gave no room for Anthony to reply, "As you can see, Waverly is merely hosting a birthday banquet, yet it's as big as the Olympic event. Perhaps only she could invite so many people. What does Charmine have to compete with her? The future Mistress of the Baileys must be of someone like Waverly. She needs to have a lot of connections.
Charmine is too far behind!"
"Iâm marrying a woman, not a family. Furthermore, Iâve made up my mind, and I'm never changing it!"
With that said, Anthony stood up when a faint spell of dizziness overtook him.
He staggered and looked at Senior Bailey suspiciously. "You...You drugged me?"
Senior Bailey wore a grim expression. 'You forced my hand into it. Remember, Anthony, that I'm doing this for your own good." 2 With that, Anthony's heavy body fell back onto the sofa.
He would never have thought that his usually straightforward and direct Grandpa would pull such a dirty trick on him.
Furthermore, he had not even a sip of water upon entering...
Senior Bailey looked at the walking stick in his hand and his eyes darkened.
The drug was on the walking stick, and it diffused into the air with no sound nor smell.
For the future of Baileys, he had no choice...
When he thought of what Waverly said to Susan, he said to his men," Handcuff him and send him to Waverly."
'Yes, Sir!" The bodyguards carefully handcuffed Anthony and carried him into the VIP lift.
Meanwhile, at Violet Residence.
When Charmine woke up, she did not see Anthony. In fact, she saw Waverly leaving the villa happily.
When she left, she smiled at Charmine beautifully. "Charmine, I'm so looking forward to the birthday banquet tomorrow."
With that said, she left elegantly and arrogantly.
She exuded an air of victory as if an ordinary person had suddenly won a few hundred million worth of jackpot.
Charmine squinted. Why was Waverly so arrogant all of a sudden? Did something happen?
She took out her phone ready to call Anthony, but it went straight to voicemail.
Amid her growing anxiety, Chris walked out from his room and assured her, "Mommy, Daddy is probably busy. Donât be worried!"
Anthony did tell him that he was preparing Charmine a surprise at 12, this midnight.
It was the last day, and Anthony must have been busy.
However, Charmineâs eyelids fluttered. Was that it...?
Why did she feel uneasy?
Her eyelids twitched as if something bad was brewing.
