Warning My Mommy is A Savage

chapter 1905

McKenzie, still seated on the sofa made of genuine leather, fixed her eyes on the tightly shut door life.

Five more minutes.

Charmine would certainly lose at this rate.

McKenzie gently lifted a teacup filled with branded tea to sip at it, and an unnoticeable glint of pride twinkled in her eyes.

Even as it was just two minutes away until ten, Charmine still had not shown up.

Such was the situation that elicited gossip and remarks.

"Why is Charmine not here yet? Is she unable to take the risk and run away at the last minute?" "Haha! For sure! She must've known that she’s unable to win, so she doesn’t dare to show up!" "And yet she sounded so bold last night! She's like a turtle that shrinks back into its shell. This is a waste of my time!" "She shouldn't have made such a big deal out of herself. Now, she has embarrassed herself!" "She spoke before her brain could make sense of things, and now, she doesn’t even have the courage to show up? She's just a fake mogul, it seems!" "Hahaha!"

Everyone present started to laugh and jeer at Charmine's name.

Senior Jordan and the family sat by the side. They looked serious and were very worried.

Charmine was not this kind of person, no doubt...but why, then, was she not showing up even as it was almost time?

If she was even one second late, she would be automatically forfeited!

Everyone grew antsy at this.

Robert tried calling Charmine, but no one picked up even when the call went through.

His heart sank, and his expression became visibly solemn.

What if something had happened to her? She was not one to be so careless, after all.

In the last 30 seconds, the jeers and taunts toward Charmine grew intense.

"It’s almost time! Charmine's not coming, for sure!" "Sigh! All bark, but no bite. When she said that yesterday, I even thought she was so all-rounded!" "She shouldn't have declared the challenge in public if she can’t keep it. Really, what a waste of my time!" "Charmine had automatically forfeited. Now, give us back the money we betted on!" "Yeah, pay us now!"

The people putting up the bets were sweating. They looked at the time and said weakly, "We still have ten or so seconds left, don’t we?"

They were losing so much money!

They thought Charmine was going to win, which was why they had set up this betting system, but she did not even show up!

Worse still, everyone betted on McKenzie.

They were incurring a loss!

How frustrating!

Those who had placed their bets were waiting for their refund, excitedly counting down as they did.

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three-"

The door to the lift abruptly lit up with a ding, and the door to the lift suddenly opened.

The one standing inside the lift was...

Charmine!

She was fitted in a black suit-dress and a belt that clung to her waist. Her long, slim legs were clearly showcased with her outfit.

With her hair tied up and a pair of sunglasses adorning her face, Charmine looked striking and stunning altogether.

Anthony, meanwhile, stood beside her elegantly.

Both of them walked out of the lift, with Charmine looking like a regal queen and Anthony, her loyal guard. They instantly became the center of attention.

Everyone looked at them so astounded that they forgot the countdown.

Charmine actually appeared!

Was she not the run-away turtle? Why would she show up so boldly like this?

McKenzie’s elegant face had a look of shock.

How did she show up on time!?

Was she not supposed to...

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Charmine in disbelief.

Charmine went up to her and removed her sunglasses, revealing her delicate yet proud face.

She lifted her wrist to check the time, and she then looked at McKenzie.

"Ms. McKenzie, it's ten now. I'm not late."
