Chapter 920 Anthony thought of that as his gaze hardened.
He had asked for the Halfeti roses to be air-flown from Turkey to decorate Skyview Tower's top floor.
It was a type of natural black rose that had a rather matte surface. It was bold yet stunning, very similar to Charmineâs temperament. 1 Furthermore, the Halfeti roses were only available in Halfeti, Turkey, and they would only bloom in midsummer before going out of season by autumn.
The ones he prepared were a Turkish lab's gems from their lab, far more impressive than Waverly's White Camellias.
Apart from the flowers, he even invited Master Kingston to customize Charmine a unique gown.
He thought these gestures were romantic, but looking back at it all. Charmine had been through so much pain that they could not make up for anything.
He held her small hand and placed it on his chest as he lowly muttered," No matter what gift it is, it won't be as good as I.
Remember that I'm yours. Say the word, and I'll make it happen."
"I'll make it happen," words uttered powerfully and profoundly.
Charmine's eyelids fluttered to a near close; her heartstrings were tugged.
What Anthony gave her was the most special promise.
One word from her, and he would make it happen.
She cuddled in his arms silently as minutes went by.
Even though they both looked grubby and were covered in mud, the atmosphere felt warm and romantic.
The cave was exceptionally quiet while the outside world had gone crazy.
Charmine had forgotten something.
She had asked Kay and the team to stand guard outside the room as she entered the spa. She even told them that it would take quite long.
Being men, Kay and his men assumed a full-body spa would take a few hours or even one whole day, and they dared not to disturb her.
Julian and the beautician, meanwhile, left through the small back door.
Therefore, it was not until the spa closed that night and Charmine did not come out that Kay and his men realized something was amiss.
Upon barging in, they saw no one else in the room. Charmine had gone missing!
They pulled out a thorough investigation swiftly after.
Coincidentally, the Bailey family had sent out their Bailey Ace team to search the woods.
At the Baileysâ mansionâs lobby, a few people sat anxiously. Grandma Bailey was especially furious.
"How could you all do this behind my back!? Why didn't you discuss it with me? Don't you all know Anthony? He's been rebellious from a young age! The more you force him, the more he'll resist! He even jumped out of the car when it's driven that fast! He must be wounded! How could you?! I'm warning you, if anything happens to Anthony, I donât want to live anymore!" i "Mom, please calm down. Let's wait longer, we'll hear back soon," coaxed Susan, attempting to comfort her. 1 Grandma Bailey raised her hand and slapped Susanâs face. 2 "Wait, wait, wait! We've been waiting for one whole day! How much longer do we wait? The forest is so dangerous, and he has to hide from the people you sent after him with metal cuffs. There are wild animals in there! If anything happens to him, whoâs holding the responsibility? Youâre the one who persuaded Senior Bailey, so you get out of my sight! I don't want to see you!"
Susan staggered a few steps back after being slapped, her face riddled with shock.
She had never been hit before. This was her first time! 2 Grandma Bailey actually slapped her. How would the maids see her after this?
As expected, all the maids in the living room had to lower their heads, not knowing how to react.
Waverly, who sat at the side on the sofa, looked appalled.
She thought becoming Mrs. Bailey was an honor on its own. Who would have thought that someone like Susan could be beaten up by an old woman, and all she could do was to accept it?
Susan was already furious, and when she saw Waverly's expression, she straightened her back instantly and looked at Waverly, displeased." Everything was arranged by Ms. Waverly. I only did what she planned."
