Chapter 26

At Ocean Pearl.

It was only 9.30am, but guests had occupied the hall. With the bet between Charmine and Julian going

on, everyone was keen to find out who Charmine was and how she would win. The ticket price went

from a few thousand to twenty thousand per ticket due to the increasing demand. Even executives like

Julian who was never seen in Burlington reserved front row seats. They were all supporters of Julian,

wanting to find out what drove Charmine to place such a grand and risky bet against Julian.

A dazzling back Hypersport pulled over at Ocean Pearl’s back door. Luke turned to Charmine and said,

“Miss Jordan, I’m relaying a message from Mr. Bailey. He said that if you need anything, just say the

word and he’d get it done.”

“No, I don’t need it,” came her firm reply. “This is a small matter, and help is not needed.” Charmine

got out of the car, but as she was about to shut the door, she added, “Right, help me to pass on to

your Mr. Bailey. Ask him to spend more time with Momo, and stop wasting time on me. I don’t lack

anything, especially men. Just give up.”

With that said, she turned and left, majestic and proud like a peacock.
