Chapter 971 The Chernys must thank this person!
Both Phil and Hugh walked into the room respectfully, and they instantly spotted a figure sitting on a grey sofa next to the window.
This long-haired figure had a bathing robe on, and her face was stunningly beautiful.
It was Charmine!
Why was she here?
Hugh asked in shock, "Guy, you...you two..."
Phil asked with disbelief, "Guy, you've finally learned to get a chick! Did you two really sleep together?"
"No...nothing like that!" Guy's face flushed red as he quickly explained, "Itâs not what you think it is. She... She had a fever and wasn't able to change out of her clothes, so..."
Despite standing at 1.9 meters and having a well-built figure, he was a stuttering mess.
Phil patted his shoulder. "Alright, we're all men, I understand. You're twenty- nine now, and it's normal. Still, why her...?"
He looked at Charmine judgingly.
She was useless, even though she had quite the beauty of an elf. She was not good enough for the Granger family.
Charmine felt herself judged, and she was not pleased.
Since she was in a rush, she could not bother to explain to them. She would show them with action.
She stood up and went to take the box.
Not noticing her, Hugh looked at Guy and said with a serious tone, "Your cousin is right. If you want to get married, you should find someone with a clean background. How can you be with her? Oh yes, where's your friend? Where's Charlie? He's got a fever?"
Guy's face flushed red as Hugh spoke to him. He felt so embarrassed.
He explained, "It's a misunderstanding. She's Charlie."
What?
Hugh and Phil jolted, unable to comprehend the news Guy told them. 1 She was Charlie?
How could that be?
How would Charmine, a woman, know about ancient technology? Why would she fight against Safford agents? How would she even have the courage to enter Safford's territory?
At that moment, Charmine walked up to them and handed them the box. "I managed to retrieve the sword. I hope Mr. Cherny can keep your promise and give me the red wolf bones."
Her voice was unperturbed as she exuded a powerful temperament.
This look of hers was similar to Charlieâs...
Hugh and Phil exchanged glances. They found it hard to believe.
The Charmine they looked down on was, in fact, the Charlie they praised?
How...unbelievable!
Seeing that they did not believe her, Charmine used a man's voice to speak, "I've other things to do. Please examine the sword."
The voice was Charlie's! It was a man's voice!
Phil was utterly flabbergasted. "You can change your voice! You are Charlie!"
'This is to make sure nobody knows how I am," replied Charmine, "so I simply disguised my look."
Hugh and Phil felt embarrassed. 1 Simply disguised her look?
Her skill was so refined. How was that a 'simple disguise'?
Hugh knew he had misjudged her. This was the first time he looked at a woman wrongly.
With guilt and remorse, he then apologized, "I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Thank you so much for helping US to get back the sword."
As he spoke, he received the box from Charmine.
In the next moment, his expression changed.
