Chapter 921 "If Anthony is safe, it should be fine. I don't mind taking this slap to my face. If anything happened to him, your D'Cruz family would have to be responsible for it as well!"
Waverlyâs face stiffened. Susan lashed out on her instead?
Why was she to blame? She only provided Susan with a plan, and they were the ones after the D'Cruz familyâs benefits. They did it voluntarily!
She was the D'Cruz family's wealthy heiress. It was already past twelve at night, it was her birthday. Everyone should be cherishing her like the star she was to be, yet the accusations were turned to her instead?
"Enough, enough," dismissed Senior Bailey. "Let's wait a little longer.
Anthony isn't a weak man-he'll be fine. Letâs discuss after finding him."
His hoarse and old voice sounded tired.
Waverlyâs eyelids jumped. Discuss after finding him?
Was he implying they would talk more about whether they would let her be with Anthony after they found him?
Anthony was a grown man who disappeared for only a day, yet they were so anxious and blamed her for it?
How repulsive!
With that, everyone waited. No one dared to sleep until he came home, and no one was willing to get some shut-eye.
After all, Anthony was the Bailey family's future patriarch. If anything was to happen to him, the entire Bailey would be affected as well as the entire country. 2 The wait lasted throughout the night.
Meanwhile, Charmine and Anthony slept soundly.
They both held one another despite the low temperature, and it was a loving sight.
Eventually, Charmine was awakened by the sound of footsteps.
She has always had exceptional hearing. Since it was very quiet, she could hear movements within a few hundred meters.
The footsteps were coming from far away, and it sounded much like footsteps of a man.
Charmine woke up in shock. A man?
Was it Julianâs?
She opened her eyes and realized the sky had turned bright.
It was brighter than usual as the sunlight shone past the fully grown trees, and shadows of the leaves hovered over them.
Under the sunlight, someone walked to the entrance.
The figure was obviously Julian's. He found her!
He stopped above the pit and called out from above, "Charmine! Charmine!"
Charmine quickly put on her tank top and gently woke up Anthony.
Anthony woke up and saw what was happening.
Who would have thought that Julian would be the first to have found them?
So it was Julian who kidnapped Charmine!
Was he not destroyed? Had he not learned from that?
Anthony hugged Charmine tightly. "Don't worry, Iâll make sure he'll suffer a feeling worse than death!"
Charmine had zero qualms to that.
Perhaps Anthony did not have to do it-she would do it herself!
Nonetheless, Julian had gone insane, and they had to be careful.
The two of them leaned on the dark corner of the wall and waited quietly.
It was dark looking down from ahead, thus Julian should not be able to see them.
As long as Julian did not hear back, he would leave.
They never thought Julian would linger for much longer, not once leaving. It came as a bigger shock when Julian yelled, "Hold on, Charmine! You must hold on! I'll come down and save you! Iâll help you out!"
He unraveled a rope and threw the other end down below.
He was coming down!
