Chapter 20

Author: Seeking A Peaceful Life
Ex-boyfriend?

“Julian Cabell, the douchebag?” Charmine scowled.

“Yeah. He posed a challenge that if you can win the audience with your charm, he’ll owe you a hundred million dollars,” Eric replied calmly.

“Huh? Do I look like I’d need an extra hundred million?” Charmine turned back to her punching bag and delivered a sharp punch right to it.

Thump!

The hundred-pound punching bag was sent flying away.

Eric was utterly stunned, though it was nothing new.

This was true to Charmine’s nature.

That was not the end of it, however. Removing her gloves, Charmine picked up her phone and replied Julian,

[Gross! @JulianCabell]

Attached to that post was a photo of her middle finger.

Preposterous! The national husband rejected as ‘gross’ by Charmine Jordan? A man with a net worth of 30 billion was tagged with a photo of Charmine’s middle finger?

[OMG! What’s wrong with this crazy woman? Julian is so hot, and she called him gross?]

[No wonder she’s adopted. Such a b*tch!]

[Too scared to accept the challenge? Don’t you dare tag on my husband’s fame to become famous!]

[I just wanna punch her so badly!]

The haters all came at Charmine with viciously typed out replies.

Charmine was unfazed, undaunted by their comments, but it was then when her phone rang. She picked up the call and heard Simon Gray wheezing on the other end of the call. “Boss, are those people on Weibo attacking you?” he spoke in between pants.

“Mhmm,” came Charmine’s simple reply, uninterested to explain.

Simon was shocked. Who would dare come for Charmine? In the past five years, nobody had the nerves to go against Charmine!

Well, all except for Eric who could be rather direct sometimes.

“Boss, should I fly over now? I can help!”

“No need. You just have to take good care of the company. If I don’t see a ten percent increase in the quarterly review, you might as well forget about the end of year bonus.” With that, she ended the call.

On the other end of the call, Simon was left hanging with mixed feelings. He was concerned about his boss, yet that same boss responded with a threat in return. He was starting to regret making this call.

Seeing as Charmine had hung up, Eric took the chance to warn her, “The fans here do prefer low-profile celebrities, so it’s in your best interest to keep your profile low. They won’t like it if they find out who you truly are, and those who work for you.”

“Don’t you worry, I know what I’m doing,” Charmine reassured him as she continued scrolling through her phone. She had a moment and decided to log back onto Weibo. She posted:

[I accept your challenge. If I lose, I’ll pay you 10 billion dollars. But, if I win, I don’t need your money, but I want a live stream of you eating sh*t. Do you accept the challenge?]

With that, she attached two more photos of her middle finger.

Eric was dumbfounded. ‘Didn’t she just tell me she knew what she’s doing? When will she ever learn to keep her profile low? Ah, forget about it. She can never do that,’ Eric thought, annoyed yet amused altogether.

On the other end, Julian’s face darkened when he saw the post. How dare Charmine spoke to him with such arrogance, when she used to be that woman who tailed after him wherever he went! Fuming, he was just about to type in the reply when Tiffany stopped him.

“Julian, Darling, don’t act too rashly. If she speaks with such confidence, perhaps she knows for sure she’ll win this challenge, and if she does—”

“Huh? Her, winning? I know her better than anyone else. For the past eighteen years, she had been this vulgar and tasteless woman, and now she’s nothing but a paper tiger. There’s no way she would’ve changed so much in five years,” he scoffed. “Also, walking on the T-stage takes more than just some tricks. One needs so much confidence and experience. With this bet going on, everyone would be critical of her performance, and there’s no way she’d be able to charm every single audience.”

With that, he posted:

[Bring it on. I hope you have 10 billion dollars ready!]

He was confident Charmine would lose.

    Charmine elegantly twisted to the opposite side and simultaneously tossed the silk cape upward. The long and flowy cape floated in the air—as though in slow-motion—before it wound around the metal frame above the stage into a knot. In a swift movement, Charmine pulled on the cape as her body swayed freely in the air. Like a choreographed dance, she flew above everyone else languidly and carefreely with the silk. Her skin-colored tulle dress fluttered as she floated in the air, while the cape whirled like tidal waves. The innumerable fireflies became her backdrop as she flew like a fey from a dreamy fairyland; stunningly beautiful, stunningly bewitching. Everyone watched as she glided above them, their breath taken away.Ineffable. Her dress swirled like the smoke of an enchanting dream. She was like a goddess that came from heaven that held captive the souls below her with a faint smile.With a smooth transition, she hooked her legs mid-air as she reached over to remove her sho

    A figure so ethereal slowly emerged to the stage.She appeared to be naked under the light, the shade and shape of her body all too noticeable: Long neck, paper-thin waist, and those elegant, long and straight legs! There was not a trace of excess fat on her body. It was as though she was a sculpture made in heaven. This was a figure of a natural supermodel.Still, was she genuinely naked? Did she choose to go on stage naked just to win?Anthony’s face darkened instantly as his hands instantly shot up to cover the boy’s and Nial’s eyes. A strange and unfamiliar feeling of anger arose in his chest, and his ears rang with the words Charmine had said to him, ‘Walking around the beach in a bikini.’Had she always been such an open-minded person?All the audience stared at her in bewilderment. Some even had the word ‘god’ comically appeared in their mouths.On the streaming platform, some commented, [OMG! We can report Chanel for streaming pornography, right?]However, it was onl

    The first to appear on the stage was a tall and slim Causasion supermodel. She was dressed in a tight-fitting black short skirt, complementing her alluring body shape. Blue-eyed with wavy blond hair cascading down her shoulders glamorously, it was the most famous supermodel from France, Michelle Kerry! Around her neck hung a red ruby necklace, and it came along with earrings and bracelets of the same series. This was Chanel’s latest collection named Passion. complemented by Michelle’s fiery temperament, it was seamlessly perfect! The audience was left awestruck by her beauty and they, along with the paparazzi, started taking photos of her. Thus began the hushed comments between attendees. “If a top supermodel like Michelle can only be the opening act, how great could Charmine be to make the final appearance?”“Who knows? Maybe she slept with the owner of Chanel!”“Even if she did sleep with the owner and made the final appearance with her body, can’t she be a little lay-low abo

    Time fleeted unnoticeably, and it was almost ten o’clock.“Get ready, everyone,” an assistant called out to the supermodels backstage. “Stand by the stage. It’s almost showtime!”The supermodels stood up to get in line according to their given number. Charmine was the last to appear on stage, thus it was not her turn for at least the next thirty minutes. She laid back languidly on her seat as she settled her mind.Outside, amid the huge space of Ocean Pearl, a tall T-stage was built in glass illusion, surrounded by chairs across its perimeters. The guests in the hall were the richest in the country, able to afford a ticket at a starting price of 20,000 dollars. Outside the hall, the standing tickets were as high as a thousand dollars. Most of the audience was looking forward to the show; some for the models while some for the jewelry. Of course, the one thing everyone was really looking forward to was Charmine Jordan and how she would ‘stun the world’ as she claimed to.On the righ

    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,

    Tiffany was shocked with disbelief. Her face stiffened as she could barely contain her emotions, but she managed to hold herself together and forced a smile, asking, “Sir, I think you’ve made a mistake.”Charmine just returned to the country, and hardly anyone knew her. How would such a wealthy boss know her and send someone to pick her up?“No, I’ve not,” the chauffeur deadpanned. “I’m here to pick up Miss Jordan. Charmine Jordan,” he added, emphasizing ‘Charmine’ when he spoke. Disbelief, their gazes turned to Charmine as though in slow-motion.This car came for Charmine? She knew the car’s owner? Impossible! Tiffany’s face twisted into a shade beyond abhorrence. How could it be?As everyone was still frozen in shock, the man walked toward Charmine and bowed. “Miss Jordan, please.”Charmine walked over nonchalantly, her eyes judging the car. “Hmm... It’s not too bad, I’d give you that. However, there are only seven cars in the world, and that number is ominous. Also, black abs
