Chapter 48
“Aah!” Amelia cried out in agony, her face pallid due
to the pain.
Joey then shifted Amelia behind her and scowled,
“Charmine, enough is enough! You ‘re shameless
enough to be a third – wheeler. How dare you hit your
cousin? Aren’t you even ashamed at all?” i
“Ashamed? Ashamed as in standing here and
listening to you?” Charmine clapped back bitterly.
“She’s your cousin!” Joey shrieked. “So what if she
criticizes you? You’re just an adopted daughter, and
your life was given by the Jordan family. From what
you’ve done so far, nothing would be in vain if you’re
bashed to death right now!”
A sliver of irony gleamed in Charmine’s glare.
Nothing would be in vain if she was based to death,

Tiffany took this opportunity to play the good cop.
“Mom, Sister, please stop arguing,” she pleaded, “we
can talk things out. Sister claimed she wasn’t the
third-wheeler and that this shop belonged to her.
What if she speaks the truth? Maybe she had no
choice but to be a third-wheeler?” 2
“Huh? Who is forced to become a third – wheeler? It’s
all her love for vanity! If I didn’t pick her up and
bring her home, she would’ve died a long time ago!
Not only is she ungrateful, but she’s also done such an
outrageous act!” Joey barked as the intensity of her
glare amplified to a greater degree.
“You bring shame to the Jordan family! If you still
have a sliver of dignity left in you and care about
your foster mother, I want you to go back to Senior
Jordan and tell him you’re voluntarily leaving the
Jordan family! Don’t you bring shame to all of u s!”
“Auntie is right! I’ll be blowing the whistle on you,
and your reputation will b e ruined! You better leave
and hide now, and don’t ruin the Jordans’
reputation!” Amelia scowled.
“Huh?” Charmine scoffed. “What’s whistleblowing?
