Chapter 962 Worried, Charmine then turned them down as she spoke, "No need, but some other day, perhaps. I have things to do."
With that said, she marched away in a hurry.
"Do we have someone to look into him?"
"No need,â came Guy's quick intercept.
When he sensed that he was overly excited, he quickly added, more calmly this time, "He's a friend of mine. I trust him."
"Alright. Guy, do talk to him more. Find out if he has any idea on what to do. I feel that heâs clever, that he's the key in whether or not we'll be getting that sword back," advised Hugh. 1 "Okay," agreed Guy.
The seventh brother had already gone over and carried Dior in his arms. Seeing that she had fainted, he said, "Let's head home now."
The group of them went away to further discuss the matter at hand.
Charmine, meanwhile, was in an empty alley, and after she made sure no one was in the perimeter, she got into the car and answered Anthony's phone.
'Where are you?" Anthony's low voice was heard.
"In my company. Why?" answered Charmine without sounding suspicious.
She had instructed Kay to make it seem as if she had been to the company. Anthony should not have picked up something amiss.
"Come home right away," said Anthony.
His hoarse voice was serious.
Charmine frowned as the alarm bell rang in her heart.
What happened? Did he find out?
She instantly agreed and quickly got changed. She pulled away her fake skin mask and rushed back.
In order to avoid being exposed, she even went back to her company to shower and get changed.
What she did not notice was that after she left, a mysterious man in black with a camera silently photographed her encounter with Dior and Guy, to when Guy was on top of her. The shots were incredibly scandalous, to say the very least. 1 At Violet Residence...
In the living room on the second floor, Anthony was sitting on the sofa. He had a stack of documents in hand about 'Charlie'.
Twenty-two years old. Grew up in an orphanage without any relatives or family and worked for an international intelligence organization.
There were the photos of 'Charlie' attached below as well.
The photos were of Charlie listening to music in the crowd, examining the sword, helping Dior, opening the box calmly, and explaining the process.
Anthony gazed at the photos with brows furrowed.
This was obviously a man, and even if he turned the photos around, he still looked like a handsome young man. Why would Anthony feel strange looking at him?
Furthermore, he could not help staring at this young man. He could not stop himself from looking, and his heart even galloped speedily...
When Luke told him this man was attacked, he almost wanted to rush over. Luckily, the Cherny family rushed into the scene.
Everything did not make sense.
Did he catch feelings for this young man?
He was waiting for Charmine to come home.
The reporters were no longer allowed to get into Violet Residence. With that, Charmine drove directly to the villa and walked inside.
On the sofa, Waverly was elegantly reading the book.
If one did not know her, they might think Waverly was a quiet yet elegant figure.
Charmine, on the other hand, was all too certain she was pretending- Waverly was acting for Anthony to see.
Still, she did not bother Charmine as the latter went upstairs.
Waverly watched Charmine's back as her red lips curled up.
Ha! She was intrigued to see how much longer Charmine could hold her ground.
Meanwhile, she only had to maintain her persona and show Anthony how outstanding she was. 2 In no time, Anthony would no doubt cast Charmine aside!
Charmine went upstairs and saw that Anthony was keeping the documents. He looked at her.
She asked suspiciously, "What is it? What happened?"
"Nothing." Anthony walked toward her and put his arms around her waist.
Her waist was slim but not of the weak kind. Her waist was healthy-slim, lean with abs after years of training.
When he hugged her, he could feel even with clothes on how her waist had no excess fats, making it rather attractive.
