Chapter 292
Gloria had been grateful to Julian ever since that day when he saved her. Even though his reputation was
not at its best, Gloria’s respect for him remained.
Julian took a look at the proposal on the table and said to Gloria, “These things are trivial and won’t cost you much. I believe Charmine is capable of sorting them out. If you’re still not satisfied, i’ll find you top artists to attend the show. Look, I even brought you a list of names.” With that, Julian took out a name list and handed it to Gloria.
Gloria ran through the names on the list and found that the names were of well-known artists from Hollyoak. Their heights and sizes were similar to Scarlet and the rest, so there was no need for costume alterations.
Gloria’s expression changed for the better. “This is excellent! It’s always you who’s so considerate! I’ll wait for another two days then.”
“Thank you, Ms. Duncan,” said Julian elegantly.
“Keep up the good work, my boy. As the saying goes, ‘It’s never too late to treasure your loved ones.’ Charmine is indeed the woman you should treasure.” Gloria patted Julian’s shoulder before she left the room.
Julian nodded politely before he shifted his gaze to Charmine. He assumed that Charmine would thank him for what he did, but he never expected Charmine to ignore him as she stood up, intending to walk out of the room.
“Charmine,” Julian reached out and tried to hold onto Charmine, but Rio stood in between them and eyed him impatiently. “Mr. Cabell, please behave. Charmine has terminated the contract with you, thus both you have nothing to do with each other. Please don’t touch her.”
Unable to fight back, Julian retreated his awkward mid-air hand as he gazed at Charmine. “Charmine, I just want to speak to you. Ms. Duncan was right: It’s never too late to treasure your loved ones. One could only learn from mistakes, don’t you think so? Won’t you even give me a chance?”
What was that? ‘One could only learn from mistakes’? Were what he did to her mere ‘mistakes’?
“What use is there to give a murderer a second chance?” scoffed Charmine. “If one could learn from his mistakes, what’s the point of having police officers?”
Charmine’s words were cold and arrogant, with every word well-articulated.
Julian had kicked her pregnant self that ended up killing the baby in her stomach. While the baby was not his, it did not change the fact that it was another life. How could he have the guts to ask for a second chance when he abused her to that extent?
Also, did Julian really think Charmine could not tell what his intentions were? All he wanted to do was to marry her, tame her, and then get her assets!
What an unrealistic thinker!
“Security!” Charmine called out.
Instantly, about ten security guards came into the room and shielded Charmine from Julian. Shielded by the guards, Charmine marched out of the building as she exuded a frosty and unruly temperament. Julian stood by the side, forced to retreat to the corner under the guards’ watchful gazes.
He looked at the shielded Charmine with a hardened gaze, with complicated feelings aroused in him. The once timid Charmine who would always follow him turned into such an imminent woman that he could
not even get to!
Still, what made her think she could act so pompously? Was it all because of her diamond company, or even her RisingHawk company on the verge of failing? Charmine would have to pay ten billion had Julian not lent her a hand! How dare she treated him this way? She was raped and was an impregnated woman who gave birth to a dead fetus! What rights did she have to be so arrogant? Did she really think Anthony would marry her? 1
Hmph! It seemed that Charmine needed to learn her lesson the hard way!
Upon leaving the company and arriving at the parking lot, Charmine was greeted with an eye-opening, shocking sight. Her motorbike had scratches everywhere, with rotten eggs and fruits thrown on it. Even the handles of the motorbike were written with words one could not misread:
(DIE, CHARMINE! Charmine frowned. Who could have done that?Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
