Chapter 850
The crowd at the scene reeled back in shock as their eyes were wide open.
'It's Anthony Bailey!'
Anthony was hailed as the king that everyone in Burlington looked up to. He had attended all international conferences and multinational business conferences as well. He was even engaged with the Kansas' royal family’s wealthy heiress.
'Such a mighty man had come to the site belonging to the Jordan family, and even hugged Charmine?'
'He is already a man with a fiancee, yet he still embraced Charmine like that?'
Charmine noticed that everyone's gaze lingered on them, and she quickly pushed Anthony away.
"Mr. Bailey, what brings you here?"
She pretended to be a stranger to him and enquired, immediately burying their relationship from all eyes.
Anthony's gaze was fixed on her as his eyes gleamed deeply.
Charmine kept feeling that she was not being herself when Anthony looked at her. ’He looks like he'll say something he shouldn't be saying, anytime now...'
Fortunately, when she was perturbed, Anthony finally said, "As the Jordan family's strategic partner, it's only natural for me to show up to have a look when such a huge event has happened."
The onlooking crowd was stunned at the scene and his response. 'So he's only here because of work?'
'Is that solely the purpose of it?’
However, mighty people like Anthony had never been seen making a move to protect a lady. Scratch that, he was never even seen getting close to any lady, yet all of a sudden, he held Charmine like that?
Anthony did not explain to the crowd, only getting closer to Charmine.
His gaze landed on Charmine's body.
Dust had gathered on her shirt, caused when the maniac lady was beating her.
Anthony placed his hand in his right breast pocket and took out a handkerchief before gently wiping off the dust on her collar, placket, and so on. 1
Suddenly, the scene fell quieter.
Everyone's eyes widened in astonishment, and it was as if a needle dropping to the ground could be heard as well.
'What have we seen?!'
'The always prestigious Anthony wiped off the dust for Charmine?'
'Are we hallucinating?!'
Charmine's eyes shrunk and her body stiffened.
'What the hell is Anthony doing?'
'Everyone is already suspicious to begin with, and he should be staying far away, yet he’s doing such a thing?!'
When everyone was astonished, Anthony had cleaned off all the dust from Charmine's clothes.
He took a step back and stood up straight.
"As my working partner, please always pay attention to your appearance."
Charmine and the crowd were speechless.
'So Anthony is here for the company's issue. He wiped the dust off of Charmine because she's his working partner?'
'Can we believe in this excuse?!'
Charmine felt like everyone's suspicious gaze was akin to throwing her into a hornet's nest.
She quickly took the initiative and took two steps back, reminding, "Mr. Bailey, could you please remind me immediately the next time? Your fiancee will misunderstand it, and that’ll be worse."
"Don't worry, she's very generous. She won't mind," said Anthony in a prestigious way. 1
At that moment, Waverly was watching the live stream in the villa.
A few live-streamed the Divine Bird site. Anthony’s abrupt appearance made them stunned that they forgot to switch off their phones that aimed right at him and Charmine.
Besides, no one was talking at the scene, allowing Anthony and Charmine's voices to be very clear and audible.
Waverly could clearly hear Anthony saying 'generous'. Her expression became very bitter that it could have forced out a drop of water.
'Generous... Generous...? How dare Anthony describe me as such! Is he praising me?'
'Besides, working partner? He thinks using that term could help him protect Charmine from the masses? This is too much!'
