Although Lily was more of a soft-spoken woman, she was very protective of Amelia. She continued to ask for mercy on her daughter’s behalf as she said, “Dad, I know Amelia made a huge mistake this time, but she wasn’t completely wrong. We’ve raised Charmine for so many years, so don’t we deserve something in return? She found such a huge diamond mine. Even if she doesn’t want to give it back to us, she should at least tell us about it, right?” “Exactly. She’s ungrateful. It’s like the old saying: ‘When one drinks water, one must remember the person who digs the well’. Charmine not only forgot about the person who digs the well, but she even tried to kill the person!” exclaimed Amelia’s father, Felix Jordan—the second master of the Jordan family. Just like that, the room was instantly filled with criticisms against Charmine. Tiffany, not missing an opportunity to bring out her kind-hearted persona, went forward and said, “This isn’t true! We can’t blame Charmine for not telling us
Tiffany was pleased when she saw the darkened expression of her grandfather, but she remembered to keep her facade. “Amelia, stop saying that. I believe Charmine didn’t do it on purpose. She must’ve been busy taking care of her diamond business and forgot to ring up Grandpa. Grandpa, please don’t be mad.” With that, everyone’s looks went a shade darker. Busy? She was just ungrateful! The disappointed look on Drake went a few shades darker too. Meanwhile, Charmine seemed to enjoy the act between Amelia and Tiffany. She watched them with an amused look as though she was a queen being entertained. “Are you two done?” She nonchalantly turned her gaze upward, and with a smirk on her face, she started, “In the past five years, I’ve tried to contact Grandpa for a hundred and ten times, but the line was always busy. I’ve sent ten gifts to Grandpa in total, but none of the gifts was ever delivered to him. I even tried sending him emails, but every email was blocked by a hacker. You h
It was only the first whip and Amelia’s clothes were already ripped apart as fresh blood oozed out of her fair skin. Her face contorted in pain and anguish, but she never gave out. “Not me! It really wasn’t me! Charmine framed me!” Hobson shook his head helplessly. Amelia was too hard-headed; he had no choice but to continue the whipping. Fwoop! Fwoop! Fwoop! In the end, Amelia’s flesh was lacerated as her back was all bloodied. She slowly succumbed to her wounds, yet she managed to utter one last sentence, “It really…really wasn’t me.” She passed out right after. Overwhelmed with rage, Drake sternly ordered, “Come and get this liar out of my sight. Without my permission, she has no right to leave the mansion for the next three months!” Three months? Amelia was grounded for three months? “Dad, she’s a popular model! If she doesn’t leave the house, her popularity will disappear…!” Lily called out as she carried Amelia. “After making such a fool out of herself in the p
“Anyone who mentions the diamond mine will have their family shares confiscated!” barked Senior Jordan. Tiffany clenched her fists tightly. A huge diamond mine, all for Charmine and only Charmine? What for?! What a dumb old fool! Of course, Tiffany would not say such a thing out loud, thus she could only bite back her anger. However, Drake continued, “Oh, right. Charmine, since you’re back, sign this paper and I’ll transfer you the fifteen percent of the share that I should’ve given to you a few years ago.” With that, Hobson passed him a prepared document. Charmine never expected Senior Jordan would still give her the family share, even when she had a whole diamond mine to herself. A glint of warmth swept past her usually cold and emotionless eyes. Before Charmine could sign, her foster father, Jeremy Jordan caterwauled, “Dad, are you insane? She already owned a huge diamond mine! Why are you still transferring fifteen percent of the family share to her? She doesn’t even
At the Jordan family mansion’s garden... Tiffany sat under a jacaranda tree. The events that had transpired just moments ago still infuriated her. It would be understandable if Drake transferred just some of the share to Charmine, but did he have to transfer as much as fifteen percent? Charmine now owned as much as Tiffany, who was the ‘actual heiress’ of the Jordan family! Worse still, netizens were flattering Charmine and idolizing her, while some became suspicious of the interview Tiffany and Amelia had earlier. There was speculation that Tiffany played a part in this, and they called her ‘fake’ and ‘unreal’. If this went on, her ‘No.1 Supermodel’ title would be ruined in no time. Her assistant, Veronica stood behind her in concern. “Prior to this, Guci had finalized you as their magazine cover this season, but they had just called to say that they needed more time to choose between you and Charmine.” “What?” blurted Tiffany, dumbfounded. Guci was no humdrum brand. It wa
“Oh… That’s right. Julian darling, Grandpa already transferred fifteen percent of the share to Charmine. I’m afraid I can’t help you take the shares anymore.” Julian frowned. Already? So soon? Five years ago, the Cabell and Jordan families forced Julian to marry the ugly and inelegant Charmine. Though he hated Charmine for that, he had always wanted to get all the Jordan family shares and own their business. He thought that he could get hold of her share if he were to follow through with their marriage arrangement. Once Tiffany noticed the worried expression on his face, she gently warned, “Julian darling, I think Charmine still loves you. Think about it: Why is she still single even though she’s this Diamond Boss now? “Also, all her tweets are about you, even though she has so many followers. Perhaps she might be trying to get your attention? “If we resume the plan we had five years ago, which was to make her fall all over for you, it’s likely that she’ll transfer you her fa
Kay and his men—who hid in the shadows—stared at the scene with eyes wide like saucers. Damn, was their boss about to run over him? There were no traces of holding back in Charmine’s actions. She twisted the handle of her motorbike as she raced toward him. Once Julian knew for sure Charmine was not letting up, that she was closing in from their half-a-meter distance, he instinctively jumped out of the way. Yet, the motorbike moved at such a speed that his sleeve was almost caught by the bike, and it sent him stumbling back a few steps. Charmine glanced at him by the corner of her eyes. A mocking smirk appeared on her lips as she flipped the middle finger at him. Her long and unruly hair fluttered in the night breeze. She sure was bold and daring. On the other side, Julian was left with his pale-green face, the veins on his forehead almost burst out from hatred and fear. The woman who was once all over him nearly ran over him and even gave him the middle finger! Why did she
