The terrified Robert followed Charmine closely; he had never before experienced such a fearsome standstill. They luckily had Uji Quin with them, and they managed to leave the basement and went to the plank walk outside. As the passage was very narrow, accidents might happen. Furthermore, Charmine knew well enough that Uji Quin would not let them go on so easily—he must have something else planned. Charmine had to make sure that Robert could get out of Uji Quin’s lair safely. She pressed on a button. It was an emergency button to signal Kay. Beep! Kay responded. Since the infrared rays were turned off and the plank walk was in sight, he should be here in no time. “You go first, just keep walking,” said Charmine to Robert. “Someone will be waiting for you down there.” “I don’t…” Instinctively, Robert refused. This was such a dangerous situation—how could he leave Charmine alone? Charmine glared at him coldly. “What can you do even if you stay? Go!” she snapped demandingly

Robert squirmed as he curled up like a ball on his seat. His hands pressed on his stomach as he moaned out in pain, “Argh!” Charmine frowned as she looked at him, concerned. “What’s wrong?” “Argh… It hurts!” Robert then fell onto the floor of the plane. Thunk! He fainted. Charmine knelt swiftly and tapped his face, only to be met with no response. Within seconds, his face turned death-like pale. Unnerved at the sight, Charmine reached out a finger to feel Robert’s breath. Her finger jolted. He… He… After a moment of panic, she cried out, “Bring over the first-aid kit! Now!” Kay noticed it as well as he quickly brought over the first-aid kit. There were many emergency medications inside the kit, and that included some pills and machines. Charmine took out a white pill and put it into Robert’s mouth. The pill was Uncle Pop’s co-invention with the top researchers in the field, called Reborn. The pill must be taken within the first 30 seconds of the sudden death. The

Tiffany wailed as she explained, “It was all lies—I lied to Grandpa. I never kidnapped Robert, and I only helped Robert link up with Uji Quin to learn with him in Kansas. Robert had been interested in gaming, and I only wanted to help. The photos I showed Grandpa was when he was told to stay in the basement as Uji Quin helped him to improve his patience…” With that, she took out her phone and showed them her chat history with Uji Quin. The chat clearly showed: [Uji Quin: Ms. Jordan, don’t worry; I’ll take good care of your brother. He’s well now, though still getting in the mood.] Attached were some photos of the basement. There were indeed two computers in the basement and a photo of Robert sitting in front of the computer. Senior Jordan’s face darkened. So Tiffany lied to him and never kidnapped Robert in the first place? Robert was not kidnapped… So it was all a ruse so Tiffany could get the shares? Joey did not bother to question Tiffany about lying to get the shares

Senior Jordan gazed at Charmine, perplexed. He believed Charmine and knew she would not harm Robert, but every evidence was against Charmine. It did not help that Charmine did not pick up his call… Tiffany, throughout the years, would always pick up his calls even if she was in the middle of a rehearsal. Whenever she went out, she would call him to check on him and to let him know she was safe. Charmine, on the other hand, never stayed home since her return. She did not even come home often nor did she call him frequently. He was an elderly man, and all he wanted was for his grandchildren to respect him. If it was true that Charmine intended to destroy the Jordans, that she had not a single ounce of care in her at all, it would tear his heart... Charmine looked at Senior Jordan with a solemn expression. Unlike Tiffany, she was not good with words—she always proved herself through her actions. For example, if she promised Senior Jordan to save Robert, she would. Little did

Zachary and Pam reeled in shock; they never expected such arrogance from an adopted child. She had turned into a completely different person from five years ago… Pam palmed her chest as she staggered a few steps back. “Oh, my…! Oh, my! Why did Joey pick up this trash back then? How could she be so ungracious!?” “Grandpa, Grandma!” a soft and sweet voice rang in the air. Tiffany heard some noises coming from outside, so she came out to see them scolding Charmine. She quickly went up to them and held onto Pam, all while she meekly and sweetly coaxed her, “Don’t be angry, Grandma—don’t harm your body. Charmine didn’t mean to agitate you… She’s still young and she speaks without thinking…” “Hah? Still young? You two were born on the same day! How are you so understanding while she’s in such a terrible state?” Pam was furious when she was reminded of Charmine’s behavior. Even Zachary scoffed, “What was Senior Jordan thinking? They put on clothes on this adopted child for so long,
