Chapter 17
Splash!
Robert’s head was pushed into a sink filled with dirty water.
Charmine shoved his head further in with her heel. “Wash your head off those false and filthy
thoughts!” she jeered. “Think about this: If Tiffany wanted the best for you, why didn’t she encourage
you to study harder? Why did everyone in the family end up avoiding and despising you?”
Robert struggled to breathe under the water, unable to get up as Charmine’s incredible strength kept
him down. Suffocating, the dirty water shot up into his mouth and nostrils the moment he opened his
mouth in his struggle. It was only when he nearly passed out that Charmine removed her leg.
Harshly pulling him by his hair, Charmine growled, “Robert Jordan, don’t be such an idiot; that’s all I’m
leaving you with. If you do this to me again, I won’t let you off so easily. Not even if we’re related.”
She let him off and left.
Robert sat beside the sink as he struggled to catch his breath. Unbelievable! What changed the shy
and quiet adopted kid into such a skilled woman? Who managed to break his ribs with just one kick
without even trying?
‘What an evil woman! She even tried to strain my relationship with Tiffany. Had she not hurt Tiffany
enough already? I’ll get her one day!’ he scowled to himself.
Meanwhile, Charmine went into her bathroom on the other side of the villa. She instantly removed
her makeup and rinsed the taste of blood off of her mouth when a man walked through the door,
handing her a pack of ice. “Why not just get a DNA test?” the man spoke first.
“Eric, do you think Tiffany doesn’t know what she’s doing? She probably pays off every hospital and
clinic in Burlington. It’s likely she would change the test result even before the DNA is tested.” Noting
her swollen lips in the mirror, Charmine continued, “So what if they find out I’m the actual child? They
don’t like me anyway.”
Eric frowned.
“Though, I’m actually looking forward to the part when the truth is revealed and that Tiffany had torn
them apart.” Her lips curled into a mirthless smile as she cooled her swollen lips with the ice pack.
Eric’s frown deepened. Who would have thought that someone else would hold as much grudge as
him, or perhaps even more?
