Chapter 800
Once Chris left, Anthony instructed Maria, "Bring Madam upstairs to get changed."
"Yes, Sir." Obediently, Maria instantly helped Waverly get upstairs.
"Make Momo kneel for four hours as a punishment," said Anthony to another maid, "and keep watch over him."
'Yes, Sir!" The maid left.
While he still felt something was off, Fredrick saw how Anthony treated Waverly and even punished his child. It was plain to see he still cared for Waverly. 1
Even if he did not like her, the two could slowly develop their feelings...
He sighed. "Now that the love noodles are destroyed, we’ll come if there’s any other tradition to be reminded of in the future. Anthony, you must take good care of Waverly. She’s my only daughter, and you mustn't mistreat her." 1
"Okay," came Anthony's swift response.
It was just an act anyway.
With that, Fredrick left with satisfaction. As his plan had failed, Max no longer wanted to linger as he too exited the villa.
Inside the car, Max's eyes darkened with a strong sense of annoyance.
No matter what he did, things just would not develop between Anthony and Waverly. It seemed that this must not be hurried.
His next best bet was attacking from Charmine's angle. With such a thought, his thin lips curled up evilly.
Anthony did not fall for Waverly because he had Charmine in his heart, so if Charmine was destroyed, he would not care for her so much. 1
That was it, then. If he could not speed them up, he must do something to Charmine! 5
Max took his phone and texted a stranger's number:
[Do you still want the pill given to you by McKenzie?]
The receiver was Julian.
Julian was about to get busy in the factory when he received an anonymous text.
Of course he remembered that pill. Had Tiffany not messed things up, he would have slept with Charmine, but alas, she became further apart from him...
[You have it?] Julian replied.
Max texted, [Of course. I'll send one over. She's watching Anthony and
Waverly getting engaged, so this is your best chance. If you can succeed...] 1
[Rest assured.] concluded Julian.
Nothing stood in his way anymore, not even Tiffany.
Furthermore, Julian did not know that Anthony and Waverly faked the engagement. He believed that Charmine must have been in pain in the past two days.
If he slept with Charmine and cared for her, she would come crawling back to him for sure.
With that in mind, he started making arrangements and prepared himself.
Anthony and Waverly went to the hospital again as they continued Annabel's recovery treatment.
Their loving engagement news went all over the world, and hordes of people admired their relationship.
Charmine did not read them. To her, as long as she could sleep with Anthony every night, she would be satisfied.
The most important thing was to research; she had to know the reason why the needles were rejected.
She could only treat Chris' illness once she figured it out, so that there was nothing else to be worried about.
She reclined on the sofa as she read the pile of books Doctor Weir left behind in her villa.
The sky grew darker then.
As Kay changed shifts, Julian-dressed up like an old woman-sneaked to the window at the back.
As the window was left open for ventilation, he successfully came inside the bedroom through the window. 1
So absorbed was Charmine with the medical books that she did not notice Julian taking out a small bottle of pill with eyes darkened calculatively. 1
This was no ordinary pill; Charmine would start hallucinating the moment it so much so grazed her skin.
Julian secretly rubbed the pill on the kettle at the pantry. He waited silently.
