chapter 1903
What did Charmine do? Charmine was always the root of every conflict with Susan. She was the reason for their arguments, and this strained her relationship with Anthony! 1
Susan became more furious as she thought about it. She glared at Charmine and growled, "I have to wonder where you got the courage to gamble on your marriage! You even have to win three rounds to win the competition! Pfeh! You truly are ignorant!
"No matter, though-l hope you lose! I won't have to face such a cruel daughter-in-law every day-" "Shut up!" Anthony snapped at Susan, his face contorting darkly in his anger as he did. His tall figure loomed before Susan, seemingly imposing as he stood.
His fury-filled eyes were fixed on Susan as he said, "If you insult Charmine again, I'll cut all ties with you!"
Susan was intimidated by her son's burning, sharp stare.
She merely wanted to embarrass Charmine, but it would not be worth it if this resulted in Anthony cutting all ties with her.
With that, Susan attempted a smile and plastered a gentle expression on her face. "If you care about the competition so much, go on! Annabel will wait for the doctor to get here. But if anything happens and anyone says anything about this, don’t hold me responsible for it."
Her simple words gave Charmine a lot of pressure.
Charmine was the only person who could help Annabel. If she neglected her now and anything happened to Annabel, nobody would know what might happen! 2
If anything happened, people on the internet would hound her down for not saving Annabel!
However, it was almost ten, too...
At the top floor of Light Plaza.
It was only eight in the morning when people filled up the venue, causing the place to become rather congested.
Everyone was curious how the all-rounded mogul Charmine would compete with the tech-mogul McKenzie, and who would emerge victorious in the end.
Since Charmine declared that she could only win if she won three rounds, everyone wanted to see how she could defeat McKenzie in all three challenges.
Some even placed their bets on the competition. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"Come on, time to place the bet!"
I'm betting on Charmine to win. The odds are one to ten; what a bargain!
One to ten!" "I'm betting on McKenzie to win! The odds are one-to-one! One-to-one!"
However...
Even though the odds for Charmine to win were one-to-ten, not many people betted on her.
Even though she had always been so powerful, McKenzie was the No.1 Heiress in Burlington after all. She was stellar in everything she did and well -cultured. She was far from a terrible contender!
No one believed Charmine could win in all three rounds. If she lost any one of the rounds, she would lose the competition!
Under the assumption that McKenzie would win everything, many people placed their faith and money on McKenzie.
It was ten minutes to ten.
The door to the lift opened...
McKenzie gracefully walked out with a few assistants in tow.
Dressed in a beige dress and with her hair curled into beautiful, voluminous rolls, she strutted forward in her ten-centimeter heels.
McKenzie looked untouchable.
A few maids surrounded her. One held up the umbrella for her, another held her bag, and another fanned her.
There was no mistaking that unreachable wealthy heiress outlook McKenzie had on her.
Everyone gathered around her upon her arrival.
"You seem calm, Ms. McKenzie. You must be confident about this competition, huh?" "Can you disclose what the competitions are going to be?"
McKenzie stopped and looked at the reporters coldly. She then spoke elegantly and proudly...
