Chapter 950 Harry then explained in a serious tone, "A few hundred years ago, a Cherny sword was stolen and ended up with a collector in Safford. Recently, the Cherny family had managed to contact the collector's association, but they didn't want to give it back, even when we offered a very high price.
However, they changed their minds and they'd bring this sword back to Burlington. They're attending the Collector's Expo happening tomorrow. If you can help the Cherny family get back this sword, Mr. Cherny will be willing to give you the red wolf's bone.â 1 Charmine's eyes sparkled. Once she got the sword for the Cherny family, she would get the bone to cure Chris!
"Okay,â she agreed, "Iâll try my best tomorrow."
Harry continued, "Don't be too happy. There's a condition. Mr. Cherny instructed that you must stay low-profile throughout the entire time, and you canât let anyone know that you're Charmine. Furthermore, throughout the entire trial, you can't let Anthony know about it. He mustn't step in to help you. Otherwise, even if you get the sword, the deal will be off!" 1 Charmine frowned. She had to keep it a secret and keep it from Anthony as well?
Still...
"Where's this Collector's Expo happening tomorrow?"
"At Century Square," answered Harry.
Charmine instantly understood the challenge.
The Century Square was owned by the Baileys, and as the host of the Expo, Anthony would attend the event.
She had to keep it all a secret from Anthony and work on this behind his back...
It was indeed challenging.
When she got home, she found out that Waverly had not come to the villa for two days. With that, the atmosphere inside became so much better.
Anthony, at that moment, was answering a call on the staircase. Standing high above, he emitted an air of inborn elegance.
Charmine overheard his conversation; it was regarding the following dayâs expo.
She frowned. It seemed that she had to make some arrangements so she would not be exposed at the expo...
Noticing that Charmine was finally home yet was spacing out downstairs, he asked suspiciously, âWhat are you thinking of?"
"No...nothing. Have you sorted out Marry Wedding?" Charmine changed the topic.
Anthony's thin lips curled up. He walked down to approach her. "Is there anything in the world your man can't fix?" 1 Charmine was surprised. He managed to reserve a spot in Marry Wedding after all?
They only took in one reservation every three and a half years, and the queue was as long as ten years, yet Anthony managed to sort it out?
Anthony wrapped his arm around her waist. Suddenly, he sniffed at her and frowned. "You've been to a place with many men?"
That took Charmine by surprise. He could tell from the smell?
She had gone to the Cherny mansion, after all, and there were all men in the training base...
She would have told him the truth, but thinking of the condition given by the Cherny family, she had to quickly find an excuse. "I went to examine the site. The staff are all men in the company."
Anthony frowned. "Go out less. You may ask them to send me whatever issues they have, and I can sort it out for you."
"Anthony, are you trying to take over my company?" Charmine asked playfully.
Anthony hugged her tighter, lips curling into a smirk. "Compared to taking over your company, I'm more interested in taking you over!" 1 With that said, he put his hand behind her head and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Startled at the sudden kiss, Charmine wanted to push him away, but the memory of how they had gotten their marriage certificate let her loosened up as she allowed him to kiss her.
Should everything go according to plan, she could announce their relationship and get married in public after obtaining the bone...
Just as she thought of that, the front door swung open abruptly, and in came Waverly with her suitcase. The lass just so happened to see Anthony and Charmine kissing. 1 Her expression turned dark. They were kissing in front of her! How shameless!
When Charmine saw Waverly, she felt that strong sense of familiarity again.
This sense of familiarity made her feel uncomfortable, as though each of her cells loathed this woman.
