Chapter 484
Alas, Charmine was the same daughter Joey had scolded and beaten when she was just a child. She hated this ‘adopted daughter’ of hers and even went as far as removing her from the family… 10
She even brought men to attack her villa! A surge of guilt and remorse overwhelmed her senses. She grabbed Adam’s arm again. “Oh, Adam, what can we do…? How are we supposed to face Charmine? Will she forgive us? I’m way too ashamed to see her!”
“Sigh… I’m thoroughly ashamed, too.” Adam sighed.
Joey, at least, had treated her.kindly when she first brought her home while everyone else fought against that decision, assuming that Joey and Adam did this to get more of the family shares. That caused quite a scene back then. Therefore, Adam did not like Charmine since young, and he had never treated her with kindness.
At that moment, Lily walked toward Adam. “Brother, Dad had said that no matter how ashamed both of you are, you must go and find Charmine.”
“Look what’s happening to us: We’re in such a mess, and we’re fifty billion in debt. We’re going bankrupt, yet there’s no way we can find this amount of money. Only Charmine could save us,” added Felix as he stood behind Lily.
Joey was livid when she heard that. “What rights do you have to say this? Back then when I picked up Charmine, all of you thought that I’m trying to get a bigger share of the family shares, and all of you want her dead! When have you never treated her with hostility throughout the past twenty-three years? When have you ever stopped condemning her and calling her names? Now that we’re in trouble, you want her to use her money to save us? How are you not ashamed?” “Isn’t Charmine the heiress of the family? It’s her duty to save the family!” Amelia walked over.
True, Amelia did not like Charmine, but she was the only person who could save the family. It was because of that that Amelia had to join in to persuade Charmine to come back and, at least, save the family first.
