"Also..."
Anthony looked at the ring in Charmine's hand and smiled apathetically. " Even if I'm not the president, I'd rather them take my heart and kill me than stay with you.”
Vroom!
Charmine’s head felt like it exploded. Her expression faltered into sheer disbelief and became sorely pale.
Anthony actually said that the significance of the ring and necklace was nonsense?
He even said he would rather die than stay with her?
These pieces she thought were precious ended up being small tools for him to play her for a fool!
Anthony saw how shattered Charmine was, but it did not startle him. He, instead, glanced at her coldly with disgust in his eyes. "I merely liked your beauty and felt like taming your arrogance. Now that you're so ugly with scars everywhere, and so eager to boot, who’d like you? You disgust me now. This is why I don't want you anymore."
His every word sounded harrowingly heartless.
Thinking of something, he looked at her ring and added, "Oh, right. This ring is jade green during the day and turns into red ruby at night. Back when I bought it, I was already hinting at you that love is like this ring-it won't last! Isn’t it funny how foolish you are, hmm?” i
The way he hummed in the end even ached his own heart.
"Anthony Bailey!"
Charmine looked at him incredulously, unable to believe that he could say such heartless things to her.
Anthony did not seem to care as he raised his chin to point in the direction of the car ahead. "Don't waste my time. Move the car." i
The onlookers then began to poke fun at the situation.
"So, it was Charmine, not wanting to end things?" "Makes sense. Why would Anthony Bailey like her at all? His fiancee is Waverly D'Cruz! Who is she to compete with?" "He's just fooling around, yet she took it seriously?” "Julian had dumped this woman in the past, and now she's living as a homewrecker? How shameless!" 1 Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Charmine looked at the ring in her hand and, hearing the comments around her, felt like a joke herself.
Gazing at Anthony's aloof side profile only squeezed her heart.
Since everything had come to this stage, it should all come to an end.
She should move on.
She stood back upright and, right in front of him, removed the ring from her finger, her burning gaze directed his way. "If this ring is no longer significant, there's no need for it to exist."
With that said, she tossed it into the area under the bridge.
That did not stir any other reaction from Anthony, apart from him honking impatiently.
Charmine went back into her car, and as if lashing out her anger, she stepped the gas pedal all the way down.
Anthony seemed disheartened as he watched her drive away.
When she was finally out of sight, he went out of the car and glared at the spectators coldly. He then phoned Luke and ordered, "Take down any news regarding Charmine proposing to me."
After hanging up, Anthony stood by the side of the bridge and sharply swept his glance across the area where Charmine had thrown the ring into. He spotted nothing after looking around.
Not thinking twice, he went down to search for it...only to come up empty- handed.
Finally, he stood by the river and looked at the calm water. He had to phone Luke again. "Bring over a search team and a set of diving equipment."
Luke found that order strange but did not debate on the matter-he did as he was told.
Within ten minutes, Luke and the search team arrived.
Luke looked at Anthony confusingly. "Boss, why do you need this?" Anthony put on the diving set and said to the team coldly...
