Chapter 946 Mr. Cherny was furious. He had lived so long and nobody had ever been so arrogant in front of him!
He scowled furiously, "Charmine! How dare you hit my guard?! You're asking for trouble!"
"Did you notice something, Mr. Cherny? That's a blow from me! If I, Charmine, hit him, thereâll surely be blood! Your guard framed me for that, and this shows that the Cherny family hasn't taught him well! You accused me right after hearing what he said, showing how unjust you are! I don't need a relative like you!"
Finishing her sentence, Charmine then turned on her heel to leave, her gait arrogant and wild.
Hugh was so furious that the muscles on his face twitched.
What did Charmine say? Did she just call him unjust and that she did not need a relative like him?
How could there be such an arrogant woman in the world?
Waverly was cautious inside the car. Why was Charmine so arrogant?
So what? Charmine doing this would further offend the Cherny family. She would never be able to get along with the Chernys again!
Just as Waverly gloated in the feeling of triumph, a man suddenly came out of the woods nearby.
He wore a camouflage costume with mud smeared on his face. He had some leaves on his hair as well.
Standing at 1.9 meters tall, his facial features seemed well-chiseled, showcasing his masculine and powerful aura.
He walked to Hugh and said, "Uncle, you've misunderstood her. I was hunting by the side, and I saw it all. It was indeed your guard who framed her, and she hadnât used any force throughout their conversation before you came." 1 Hugh's expression changed instantly. This was Guy Granger, an heir of the Granger family. He had always been straightforward and never lied. 1 Had he really misunderstood Charmine?
He glared at the guard furiously and the guard shivered in fear, guiltily avoiding his eyes.
Hugh lifted his leg and kicked him harshly. "You're asking fortrouble! Why's there someone like you in the Cherny family?!"
"Argh!"
The guard was kicked and flew a meter away due to the force.
With a loud 'thunk', he fell on the ground and spat out yet another mouthful of blood.
When Guy saw that Charmine was about to drive away, he quickly looked at Hugh and said, "Uncle, she's actually here for...â
Despite his attempt to explain, his ears were turning red.
Hugh had watched Guy growing up, and he had never seen him speaking up for any other woman before.
Seeing his reddened ears, Hugh seemed to have understood something. He teased, "Our Guy is finally grown up. Not bad.
Uncle will look out for you."
As he spoke, he walked toward Charmine's car.
Guy's face had turned even redder, though he remained standing where he stood, waiting.
Charmine was about to drive away when, all of a sudden, Hugh walked in front of her car and said with a serious face, "I've wronged you earlier.
Come on out, let's talk."
Charmine frowned. Oh?
Since she would not hold it against him, and thinking of Chris' illness, she opened the door and got out of the car. With that, she followed Hugh into the Cherny mansion.
Guy followed behind them and kept a respectable distance from Charmine as he walked a few meters behind. 1 None of them noticed, however, that his ears would turn red and hot with just a glance of Charmine. 1 When Waverly watched the three of them entering, her fists clenched tightly.
Damn it! Where did that man come out from?
If it was not for him, Charmine would have lost her chance in talking to the Chernys! Why did that man ruin her plan?!
Max, who was by her side, reminded her, "Don't offend him. He's the son of the General Officer of the Navy Defence, and he's protected by the Gragoul s Team. We can't afford to offend him."
Waverly's eyes were instantly filled with jealousy.
