Chapter 244
Charmine would never!
Suddenly, a mysterious glint briefly appeared in Charmine’s eyes. As she stood before him, she asked, “Are you sure you want to marry me? Have you genuinely learned your mistake?”
“Yes.” One word, simple and unhesitant.
Charmine’s lips curled up. “Alright, I have three conditions. If you can fulfill them, we can be officiated tonight,” came Charmine’s clear and elegant voice.
Julian’s brows furrowed, along with an unsettling feeling that welled in him. Three conditions? What three conditions did she want?
Meanwhile, at Guillotine Cliff…
Mr. Dickson had long anticipated Charmine’s speedy arrival, but little did he expect that a luxury car would harshly pull over at the side, the motion causing clouds of dust to float in the air. “It must be her!” one of the men called out. “Get ready!”
Everyone stood up, and they eyed the car with cautious and fierce glares. The moment the car door opened, a pair of shiny leather shoes were revealed as they stepped on the ground, followed by a pair of long and refined legs.
Even if it was just the bottom half of his body, without a face revealed to them, everyone could already feel his authority and regality. The man eventually got out of the car and shut the door with a swift gesture.
When everyone saw that dark and stern face of his, their limbs turned to jelly as a strong shiver shook their bodies.
It was Boss Bailey!
The Boss Bailey with all the power of Burlington in his hands! This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
There were two legends in Burlington: One was that Boss Walker killed and burned at night, while Boss Bailey burned cash in the daylight.
These two legends implied that Boss Walker was a fearless man, he was the king of the night doing any undepictable act one could think of. While Boss Jordan did not have to do anything, burning cash in the daylight for the sake of keeping warm, one could see how overwhelming his wealth was.
Mr. Dickson was a staff of Boss Walker. They–the men–had been evil and feared by many, yet they dared not intrude Boss Bailey’s territory. Even if they were to cause troubles, they had to stay at least 500 meters away from Boss Bailey’s territory. Someone once tried to challenge Boss Bailey’s authority; this person handicapped a person from Boss Bailey’s territory. The following day, that person-they who handicapped one of Boss Bailey’s people-vanished from the face of the earth without a single trace…
Recalling this legend, Mr. Dickson and his men had chills that ran down their spines. He stuttered, “Boss Bailey…! W—What brings you here?”
Anthony’s gaze landed on the figure behind them; Robert was hung on a tree branch. “Three seconds,” Anthony commanded, “let him go.”
Five words. Simple and full of authority.
Mr. Dickson and his men exchanged glances. Of course they would let go of Robert when he asked, but they went through all the trouble and stuck their necks out there just to kidnap Robert. It did not
help that the perpetrator had promised to pay them a rather handsome sum of five million, and they had not received such a high-paying task for a very long time. If they let him go, all would have been in vain.
Mr. Dickson’s eyes darted left and right as he hastily walked to the tree and said, “Boss Bailey, please understand our predicament here. We promise to not cause him any harm. We’re just using him to attract a particular woman, so once the woman gets here, we’ll let him go right away!

“It’s not easy for us. We have elders and kids to take care of, too. If Boss Bailey insists to make me do it, I’ll have to take his life.” With that, he took out the dagger and placed it against the rope. The rope would surely be severed with one flick of the dagger, and Robert would surely fall into the bottomless lake.
Effectively restrained by the rope, Robert could not move at all. He was even poisoned that his entire body was unable to exert any force. Meanwhile, he looked at Anthony with doubt and worry.
What was this man doing here? Was he here to save him? He did not even know this man… Furthermore, under such a circumstance, how could he save him?
