Warning My Mommy is A Savage

Chapter 156

As Joey recalled Charmine’s words from yesterday, she remembered how lonely and desolate Charmine’s gaze was.

She stopped in her tracks and turned to Charmine. “Why don’t you stay for lunch today?”

Stay for lunch today…

This was the first time Joey had spoken to her with such a gentle tone since her return from Africa. Thinking of her plan, she answered, “Sure.”

Joey then turned and called out, “Aunt Judy, please prepare lunch.”

“Yes.” Aunt Judy left swiftly.

All the staff and helpers sprang into action once they heard Charmine was having lunch at home for the first time in five years, though people like Jeremy seemed unperturbed. Although Tiffany made a mistake, it did not imply Charmine was innocent. To them, Charmine was the outsider who stole away twenty-five percent of the family share. They disbanded to mind their own business and ignored Charmine altogether.

Charmine did not seem to mind either. She spent some time talking with Senior Jordan for a good while before he had to attend to other matters, so Charmine left for the prayer hall.

How could she miss the sight of Tiffany being punished?

As she walked along the hallway, a figure appeared in front of her.

It was Julian.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Like always, Julian was dressed in a black suit, just like any successful and handsome man. Charmine frowned. Why was he in the mansion?

A glint of shock appeared in Julian’s eyes. He thought Charmine’s reputation was over, but little did he expect that she was not the murderer and had nothing to do with this. All the netizens apologized and flattered her, and it further increased her fame and popularity.

This woman was completely different from the woman he knew five years ago. This woman was stunning and had been stealing his attention for quite some time.

Charmine did not even bother looking at him; she merely turned away and left.

Julian frowned and strode forward to block her way. “Charmine, why don’t you want to see m e now? You weren’t like this five years ago!”

Charmine scoffed, “You weren’t like this either, five years ago. Do you need me to remind you?” As she spoke, she kicked a pebble at her feet.

Bam!

The pebble flew in the sky and smashed against a plant vase, and it instantly broke into halves.

Julian’s face darkened. “Charmine, I was doing what was best for you. The child belonged to the rapist anyway. Did you really want to give birth to him? Think about it: Now that nobody knew what happened, although you’re not as chaste as Tiffany, having a child would ruin your reputation.”

“Wow. Does that mean I’d have to thank you for that?” Charmine laughed.

Julian continued, “You don’t have to thank me, but you could consider getting back with me again. Don’t you fall for Anthony; someone like him is just playing with you.”

“You sound as if you really like me, but aren’t you more interested in my assets?” sneered Charmine. “Also, being played by a man like Anthony is alright. What do you have in you to compete with him?” With that, she flipped her hair and left. Livid, Julian grabbed her wrist. “You’re testing my patience, Charmine!”
