Chapter 819
Anthony had to relent when he noted how determined Charmine was.
Charmine and Waverly walked into the guest room and closed the door behind them.
Waverly looked at Charmine and elegantly professed, "Thank you, Ms. Jordan.”
"Do you really think I'd protect you by sleeping with you?" Charmine suddenly snapped, figure seemingly cold and distant.
Waverly frowned, not understanding what she meant.
"Are you sure you want to keep up the act? You asking me to sleep with you is just your way of separating me and Anthony so we can't spend time together!" Charmine scoffed coldly. 1
With the frown still on her face, she countered with displeasure, "You have a prejudice against me. These are all mere coincidences."
"So getting hurt, sharing the same villa with Anthony, and having a snake tonight are all coincidences? What season are we in? It’s the end of autumn, why would snakes slither out of nowhere?" Charmine pronounced each of the words clearly as she eyed Waverly sharply.
"Waverly D'Cruz, do you take others for fools?" 1
Waverly's eyes gleamed with faint panic, but she quickly stamped it down. She had to fight it.
Charmine continued, "Your brother told me everything. He admitted that the main reason you guys came to Burlington was for Anthony and to destroy the Jordan Group!"
"What?" Waverly's face stiffened instantly. She asked in shock, "What... What else did he say?"
Charmine’s heart tightened. 'What else did he say’? 1
Was she implying something else was more crucial, heftier than what Max admitted to?
Waverly realized that she had lost her calm, though she quickly recomposed her anxiousness. "I was just shocked. I don't understand why he'd say such things. My aim isn’t Anthony, and it's not you. I came to Burlington to avoid my family pestering me to get married."
Charmine’s eyes darkened-she was still denying it. It seemed that Waverly was hiding a lot of things and that she had a more important agenda! 1
She stared at Waverly unblinkingly, "I don't care if you admit or not, and I don't care what your final goal is. I won’t let you get away!" Charmine's tone was cold and demanding.
With that said, she marched out and left.
"What are you doing?" Waverly asked anxiously.
"If you say you’re not trying to break US up and that you have no ill- intention, then rest assured. There's no snake on the first floor. Sleep tight alone while I’ll go and accompany Anthony. We need to continue what we were doing. You're on your period, but I'm not." Her ruby lips curled into a stunning smirk as she marched out. 1
Waverly's face darkened instantly. Unable to hold it anymore, she rushed over and tried to block the door. 1
'You're right, Charmine, my aim is to break you both up. You want to go and sleep with Anthony? Not a chance!"
Charmine placed her hands on her waist. "Oh? So you’re finally showing your true colors?"
Waverly's face was cold and stern, no longer gentle and elegant as she usually was.
She stared at Charmine. "I initially just wanted to use Anthony as a decoy, but one has to admit that he's not a bad man at all, and only I am good enough to be his wife! I did feel bad for you both, but you both kept on showing off in front of me. Have you two thought of my feelings? Since you want to push it, I'll say it loud and clear: I won't be your decoy anymore. I will be Anthony's official wife!" Her tone was determined. 2
Charmine merely scoffed. "You want to be Anthony's official wife? Have you asked for his opinion?"
"I don't have to. Once the sky turns bright, I'll be his official fiance again. I'm the one who'll walk with him in public and stand next to him in the public eye-me! And you? Hah!”
Waverly glared at Charmine mockingly. ‘You're just a rat who can't see the daylight! If I don't put up the act for you both, everyone will hunt you down when you walk the streets. What right do you have to be arrogant in front of me?" Her tone was sharp and harsh, nothing like her elegant persona in the past.
Charmine merely smiled. She smiled nonchalantly, alluring and brilliant.
"Without me, without my need of a decoy, what are you? Will you be able to speak in front of me?"
"Unfortunately, there’s no ‘if’ in the world. After all that happened, are you daring enough to take it to the masses?" Waverly interrogated her without backing off.
Waverly would tell everyone how Charmine wrecked her relationship with Anthony, should she ever announce her relationship with him. She would not get out of this mess unscathed!
