Chapter 190 “Ah…”
At this moment, Charmine exited the washroom.
Her expression went rigid, however, the moment she saw Manager Brown kneeling on the floor. Anthony looked at her and merely said, “What do you want me to do with him?”
He did not ask her the reason or explanation; he instantly asked her what she wanted to do to Manager Brown.
Charmine was touched by Anthony’s consideration. She looked at Manager Brown and sneered, “You perverted monster! Castrate him!”
This kind of man would only hurt others!
Anthony turned to look at Luke and simply said, “You heard that?”
“Affirmative, I’ll get to it.” Luke threw Manager Brown out.
Manager Brown was scared to death at their interactions. “Mr. Bailey please let me go! Please spare me!” he whimpered in fear. “I admit it, I did it! I won’t do it again…! S-Someone offered payment for me to do it!”
Whatever he said, Charmine and Anthony no longer give two hoots.
He missed his chance to right his wrongs.
Charmine did not really need his answers; she could already guess what happened.
The only people who knew what happened five years ago were herself, Julian, and Tiffany. Julian would not cross her at this point in time, thus the only person left was Tiffany.
Tiffany utilized her trauma of five years ago to let her lower her guard and invite Manager Brown into the room. Tiffany must have arranged this carefully just to discredit her.
A despicable and shameless move on her part.
Anthony looked at Charmine and asked, “Were you looking for him to investigate something?”
Charmine froze on the spot. It was true; she was investigating something that happened five years ago. Could she tell this to Anthony? Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
It puzzled her why she had this thought, but she did not want Anthony to find out what happened to her. After all, they had only been together for half a year. There was a remaining half year for the contract, and they needed to get along. Otherwise, Momo and Anthony would look at her differently.
Charmine narrowed her eyes and said, “That’d be for me to know and keep. You won’t always intrude my privacy like this, would you, Anthony?” her eyes remained at as she uttered her reply with a rather threatening tone..
Anthony sensed that she wanted to keep this private, thus he backed off. “Don’t worry. I respect your decision. Whenever you’re ready, you can tell it to me any time.”
Charmine breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Anthony was a man of his word. If he promised not to press on further, he would see to it.
“Well, thank you for last night,” she concluded. “I have an advertisement to shoot. I’ll see you later.”
Anthony watched as she left the room, his eyes darkening as he did.
The entire time he has known Charmine, she was always calm and straightforward. The gaze she held moments ago, however, seemed too cloudy. She was definitely hiding something.
What was it that made her all stressed out and unable to express herself?
Luke returned and asked, “Chairman, do you want me to look into this?”
Anthony’s expression darkened, but he merely dismissed him with a simple ‘no’ and a wave of his hand.
He promised that he would respect her privacy; he would hold onto that promise.
Instead, he asked, “What happened to McKenzie Houston?”
Luke sighed. “Nial went to ask in-person last night. McKenzie admitted that she administered the medicine. She was going to go upstairs when a fire broke out in her house whilst her mother was still inside, so she was in a hurry. I went through the situation and found no evidence of it being a lie.” 4
In other words, even McKenzie did not know who entered Anthony’s room that night.
His eyes darkened.
Downstairs, as Charmine arrived at the dressing room, she saw a well-dressed figure inside.
Sav
The woman wore a long silk halter neck dress, and the pearl-like silk and satin texture made her skin look fair and elegant. To top that off, she had long, slightly curled hair, and it gave her the glamor and beauty straight out of a movie. Charmine’s eyes twitched. Why was McKenzie here?
