Chapter 418 Julian even had the guts to question her and Anthony, and with such a rude tone at that?
“So what if I reject you?” sneered Charmine. “So what if I sleep with Anthony? A douche like you has no chance!”
She reached up to push him away, but Julian grabbed her wrists and growled, “Charmine! Anthony will never marry you! He won‘t even waste his time on you if he knows about your past! He‘ll look down on you! “Marry me, be with me, and I can pretend none of these happened—” “Huh? Do you think everyone is like you? Do you think all the men in the world are as selfish as you?” Charmine met his eyes and articulated the following words clearly, “You dumped Tiffany right after learning about what happened between her and Oliver, but did you even think about why she acted this way? If it wasn‘t because of what you did, she wouldn‘t have done so! “After all, you’re just a selfish man–a disgusting and narcissistic man! Anthony, on the other hand, is nothing like you!”
Charmine‘s gaze softened as she mentioned Anthony. “He knew I was raped five years ago, and I know you would‘ve dumped me had it been you in his shoes. Anthony chose to investigate the incident with me, and he had never looked down on me!
“So you have no chance with someone like me anymore. He’ll marry me right away the moment I say yes to him!”
Charmine‘s voice was clear and arrogant as she pushed him away with force.
Instantly, Julian was tossed to the sofa by the side like a puppet with severed strings. He did not even try to move as his eyes were filled with shock. Anthony... Anthony knew it all yet chose to help her out instead of tossing her aside? How… Why? How could Anthony not look down on Charmine?
The smell of alcohol still lingered on Charmine‘s clothes even after she left Royal Banquet Bar. She stopped by a mall to buy a jacket before riding her motorbike back home.
The look of despair on Julian‘s face replayed in her mind as she drove home, and she was satisfied more than ever.
Hah! The douche got the karma he deserved! An excellent turnout!
Still, Charmine felt like something was missing… Charmine only recalled something very important as she was almost close to Violet Villa: She promised Chris to celebrate with them when she got home, but she brought nothing home with her!
She stopped by the side and called Kay, “Send over a bottle of Uncle Pop‘s wine right away.” “That‘s tough to get,” replied Kay. “As you know, Mr. Pop treats wine like his life, and he won‘t just give it away.”
“Just tell him I‘m stuck researching on an autopilot drone,” insisted Charmine, “and I need some inspiration.” “This will work. I‘ll pass this on right away!” “Wait, get a bottle of Peach Dew on the way,” Charmine added. The Peach Dew was an original recipe from Mr. Pop. Every year, during the season when the peaches blossomed, he would collect the dew on the petals every morning along with one brightest petal to ferment the essence of the peach. This beverage‘s alcohol level was low as it gave off a stronger taste of peach. Its fragrance would make one feel refreshed. Kay soothed his chest. “I can already feel Mr. Pop collapsing.” Charmine smiled and hung up. This day was the most satisfying day throughout the years, and it was only natural Charmine wanted to celebrate. She could help Uncle Pop collect more peach dew next year. Charmine gleefully walked into her villa as she was greeted with the sight of Chris sleeping on the sofa. Meanwhile, Anthony…
