Chapter 973 Charmine would not like a dumb man like him...
Hugh frowned when he noticed Guy's expression. "Guy, you like her."
"No...I don't..." denied Guy, though the blush remained on his face and ears.
Phil walked over and held his shoulder. "Alright, itâs written all over your face! Don't worry, we look at Charmine differently now.
We won't stop you from liking her."
"Really, I don't..." Guy tried to deny it, cheeks still burning as he did.
Phil pulled him to another room and interrogated, "Tell me what you like about her. How did you fall for her? It's your first time liking someone, isn't it? Haha!"
Hugh saw the two of them messing around and a solemn expression was formed.
He thought of what Charmine told him.
Charmine liked Anthony and wanted to get married to Anthony. The reason she came in touch with the Chernys was to gain their approval, just so she could be with him.
If Guy found out about this, how would he take it?
This was the first time in 29 years that Guy had liked someone. She was the first.
"Sigh..." Hugh sighed heavily.
Whatever; he would take things one step at a time. It was hard to speculate feelings. Perhaps Charmine might fall for Guy eventually?
Furthermore, Charmine was also a distant daughter of the Chernys, and they did have that marriage arrangement with the Grangers.
By then, they could even force her to marry him!
Charmine, meanwhile, was on the way back to the Jordan mansion, and she went in through the secret tunnel and quickly went back to her room the moment she arrived. 3 It was half-past six in the morning, and there were no calls or texts on her phone.
Wonderful! Anthony had not contacted her!
She let out a sigh of relief and quickly got changed when her phone rang.
Looking at her screen, she spotted that the caller was Anthony.
Thank goodness she came back early!
As she accepted the call, she pretended as if she just woke up. "Hello...?"
"You're not awake yet?" asked Anthony in a low voice.
Charmine answered weakly, "Yeah. What is it?"
"Can you pick up Momo later? I need to sort out the robbery incident in the Safford territory," began Anthony.
Charmine frowned. "Robbery incident in the Safford territory? They asked you to investigate?"
Anthony, being the man with many things in his arsenal, could easily find out it was her!
Anthony detected the change in her voice and frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Jâm just shocked. Since when are you involved with these things?" Charmine made up an excuse.
Anthony replied, "It was related to yesterday's expo. Apparently, there was a fight over this item during the expo."
Charmine pretended to be shocked as she then comforted, "Okay, go and do the investigation then. I'll pick up Momo in the afternoon."
"Okay, see you at night." Anthony's voice was low and soothing.
Alas, Charmine was not in the mood to admire it. She hung up the call, downright concerned.
If Anthony took part in this investigation, he would find out some clues soon or later.
If he found out it was her and that she worked with Guy, that she even spent a night at Guy's house, what then...?
What about coming clean to him?
However, if she confessed, knowing Anthony, he would not permit her to get close to the Chernys anymore. He would not let her get involved with this dangerous mission. 1 Charmine was caught in a dilemma...
