Why would Anthony think about 'that' all day?
After Anthony left, Charmine stayed in the study and started catching up with Mount Village’s development.
Meanwhile, inside a luxuriously big villa...
Waverly received news that the sea cucumbers issue did not make the Baileys hate Charmine. In fact, everyone had to apologize to her.
Most frustrating of all, those two elders even told off the maids for Charmine, not permitting anyone to bully Charmine!
Waverly had a tight grip on her phone, and her eyes burned with envy and rage, i
Why was she the subject of public ridicule that she had to go into hiding while Charmine, that cheap woman, could live happily at the Bailey mansion?
No! This could not be!
Waverly's gaze zoned into the distance. An idea came to her not long then, and malice gleamed fiercely in her pupils.
After a moment, as she was about to make a phone call, knocks were heard coming from the door, followed by Max's gentle voice, "Waverly."
Waverly buried the look in her eyes and crossed her legs, leaning into the sofa. "Come in," she softly answered.
The door opened, and in came Max.
Looking at how drained Waverly looked, Max sat with her worriedly. He put his hands on her shoulder. "Waverly, did you not sleep well in the past two days? Why do you seem so tired?”
Waverly glimpsed at him. "How could I rest with what just happened?"
Max sighed and helplessly reasoned, "Waverly, since the truth is now exposed, let's go back to Kansas. I'll marry you now, and we can live happily ever after. We can think of something about this matter later down the line."
His large hand reached out to caress her visibly tired face. "Look at you, I'm worried.”
Waverly could feel his gentle touch, and disgust flashed past her eyes. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She looked at him and could not help recalling what happened a few months ago.
A few months ago, Fredrick had found and saved her at the beach. At that moment, she was so frail that she was at death's door.
She vaguely heard Fredrick saying to Max, "Max, if everything is for certain, she's the daughter that I've been looking for years. Verify her tonight to make sure." "Alright," replied the man, his voice deep and soothing.
Tiffany was laying in bed at that time, and her fingers stiffened slightly.
This was a nice place; they had to be wealthy.
Even the buttons on this man's clothes came from a luxurious brand.
Since she had nowhere else to go, it would be ideal if she could stick with this family.
However, she remembered that Sonia told her her parents were ordinary people...and that her mother and father were dead.
A moment later, Max brought a blood collection device to the bedside.
Tiffany studied him from head to toe, and her gaze faintly gleamed with calculativeness.
Her hands under the blanket clenched. Instantly, she looked at him with a pitiable look.
Max met her eyes and halted. He held onto the device and said, "What's on your mind? You're still so young; why did you try to kill yourself?"
Upon hearing those words, Tiffany's face softened sadly with a frown on her face as though unwanted memories had resurfaced.
Tears instantly brimmed in her eyes as she hoarsely whimpered, hitting herself repeatedly as she did, "Let me die... There’s no point for me to live."
Max quickly put down the device and grabbed both of her hands. "Don't do this," he coaxed her, "you're still weak."
Max effectively held Tiffany down, but her tears never ceased. A pitiable sight, she was.
Seeing that she did not speak, Max reassured her, "Now, this is your home. You may tell me anything."
Tiffany cried for a while and told him her sad past: how she was dumped by her boyfriend, insulted, got hurt, and kicked out of Burlington, i
Her entire story sounded utterly convincing of a sob story.
Although Max had heard some of it from Fredrick, he did not expect it to be so devastating.
He looked at her sympathetically and could not help patting her shoulder." Don't overthink, everything will pass."
With that said, he picked up the device. "1'11 have to extract a bit of your blood now."
