Anthony’s gaze sharpened as he gazed at Alexander’s retreating figure.
Earlier on, he managed to capture the panic in Alexander's eyes.
Anthony would have taken all his answers as the truth had he not panicked, but he sensed that Alexander was hiding something, that the incidents were too much of a coincidence.
Anthony picked up his phone and called Nial, saying, "Come to the room and find me."
Nial came into the room Anthony was in quickly and asked, visibly confused, "Bro, it's your wedding. Why would you want to talk to me here instead of accompanying Charmine?"
Nial did not want to get killed by Charmine!
Anthony looked up at him and instructed, "Get a strand of Annabel’s hair secretly, along with Chris's and Charmine's. Run another DNA test." 1
Nial frowned suspiciously. "How come, Bro? Why would you want to do the test?"
Anthony stared at him coldly. "Brains are amazing, you see. I hope you have one." 2
Nial was speechless.
All he did was ask a question, yet he got scolded for it!
Also, things were going well. Why would he want to do a test out of the blue?
After Anthony had left, Charmine wanted to speak to her family. After just taking two steps. Senior Jordan came toward her with a group of people.
Senior Jordan gazed at the beautifully dressed Charmine, and a blissful smile spread across his aged face. "Charmine, now that you're part of the Bailey family, be good and don't be too rowdy, alright?" 1
Charmine's red lips curled into a smile. "Grandma, have I ever been rowdy?" 3
Furthermore, even if she wanted to be rowdy, she knew Anthony would support her no matter what. 2
Senior Jordan nodded. "I know my Charmine is the best. Still, Grandpa has to warn you: The Baileys won't spoil you like we do, even after you're married."
This was indeed true.
Charmine nodded. "I know, Grandma." 1
Adam thought of the incident earlier and said, "I asked my assistant to do a quick investigation. It seems that the D'Cruz family helped Waverly pay a large bail. Since they're based in Kansas, their government doesn't have as many restrictions. She's now fully bailed."
Adam looked at Charmine and warned, "Be careful, Charmine. Tiffany is evil. She has changed her identity yet still hasn't changed one bit!" 1 "I can't believe someone as evil as her is still alive!” Joey was alarmed by the events that had happened and gazed at Charmine remorsefully." Charmine, we've wronged you in the past. You were mistreated for twenty- three years. Luckily, you're happy now. When you have time in the future, do come home often. Tell us if they're mistreating you. Although we're not as wealthy as the Baileys, we'll stand up for you no matter what!" 1
Charmine had always been cold to them. It might have been because she had just gotten married into the Bailey family that emotions welled up in her chest. Still, she nodded at them. "Alright. Do take care at home, too."Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
This was the first time Joey had Charmine's response, and tears glossed her eyes as she gazed at her. "Charmine, do be careful at the Baileys. I see that his parents are serious people, so you must stay safe." i
Charmine was about to say something when the tall, lean Anthony walked toward them. He looked at Charmine gently and then pulled her to his arm. He said to the Jordans, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, don't worry; I’ll do my best to protect Charmine. I’ll take good care of her and won't allow anyone to mistreat her. If you're concerned about her not getting used to the Bailey mansion, rest assured. Charmine and I will be staying at Charmine’s villa, not at the Bailey mansion."
Anthony's love and resolve was evident in his words.
Senior Jordan was pleased. He did not expect Anthony, who came from such a wealthy family, would live with Charmine on their own and not with the rest of his family.
"Alright. I'm convinced, now that Anthony has given his word." i
The group talked to Charmine for a while longer before leaving.
Anthony hugged Charmine as they stood at the venue. He looked at the majestic rose bed, holding firmly onto her hand as he did.
He reflected on the hardships they had gone through all along. Thinking of how grand the wedding was, he became emotional.
