Chapter 4
The celebration gradually receded, and the only ones left in the garden were members of the Jordan
Family. Worn out by today’s celebration, Senior Jordan decided to retire to his room and rest.
The moment Senior Jordan left, however, Joey Young turned her hate-filled eyes at Charmine. “You’re
an evil and cruel adopted kid,” she growled. “Tiffany had been protecting you ever since you were a
kid and loved you dearly. How could you do this to her?!”
“I didn’t do anything. Did I make her buy the fake meteorite stone?” came Charmine’s nonchalant
reply, undismayed.
This only fueled Joey’s anger. “She was scammed, and you didn’t even bother to warn her? You even
humiliated her in front of everyone! Is this how you treat your sister?!”
“Someone please drag her out. The Jordan family cannot accept this kind of person!” Adam Jordan,
the patriarch, barked to his men.
Several securities came forward, ready to drag her out. Charmine merely shrugged them away and
coldly fixed her jacket. “No need. I can walk.”
She did not intend to stay at the mansion anyway.
“Charmine, where else can you stay? Mom and Dad won’t be angry for long, so just apologize to them,
will you? I’ll be heartbroken if you stay on the streets…” Tiffany frowned. Of course, she was not
genuinely ‘heartbroken’; quite the contrary even.
“No need. I actually bought a villa group, some twenty blocks of houses. I’m actually quite busy
collecting rents.” With a faint smile, Charmine pulled out a few hundred sets of keys and swiftly turned
away. The sound of keys jingling accompanied her every step.
Everyone stared with eyes wide like saucers. She bought so many properties! Where did she get her
money from? How did an adopted kid get so much money?
Charmine then approached Tiffany and stood next to her, shoulder to shoulder. “Hey fraud, you better
get ready,” she spoke in a hushed tone, though the warning was more than palpable in her tone.
“Now that I’m back, I’ll be taking what’s mine. Oh, and those who hurt me before? They better pick a
god and pray.”
Though she had a non-threatening smile on her face, Charmine’s ‘smile’ was akin to a monstrous
piranha in the dark; deadly.
Tiffany turned paper-white as her legs went weak. She was terrified. The Charmine who used to be
quiet and shy had turned into this woman with such a powerful aura. Charmine continued to walk to
the exit, proud of herself.
[She’s left the mansion!]
Charmine put on her helmet and left on her motorbike. Now was not the right time to make her
official comeback. Even if she stayed, everyone would have tortured her for being ‘the adopted kid’
except Grandpa. After all, Charmine came back for revenge; not for them to treat her badly. The day
she would make her official return would be a mass celebration, welcomed by everyone.
The sleek motorbike sped from Burlington City to the villa. Not long after, her phone rang. Stopping at
the side of the road, she answered the phone. She heard panting from the other side before the
person spoke, “Miss Jordan, why didn’t you let us know you’ve returned? We could’ve arranged your
