Chapter 49
Charmine had gotten used to Joey’s hate-filled eyes
over the years. This Joey was utterly smitten with
Tiffany, too. Even if she found out Tiffany was the
adopted daughter, she would still side with her.
It felt like a drag for Charmine to even talk to them,
thus she coldly instructed, ” Someone, come and show
them the way out.”
The security guards who were supposed t o bring
Charmine out went to Amelia and the group instead.
With the white-hot pain still burning at Amelia’s
dislocated arm, she growled through gritted teeth,
“Don’t act all high and mighty, Charmine! I don’t want
to spend any more time in this stupid store; it’s too
dirty for me! Just wait for it, Charmine. I’ll let
everyone see your ugly face this afternoon, and your
reputation will be torn to shreds!”
Amelia did not let the guards touch her as she
struggled to walk out herself. Joey and Julian carried
Tiffany, and they glared at Charmine with
unadulterated hate. Tiffany, on the other hand, held
herself like a regal white swan, the cared-for princess,
though she secretly gave Charmine a dirty look
herself.
So what if she had a diamond shop? Charmine still
lost to her! Julian was hers, Joey was hers, and even
the Jordan family was hers!
Suddenly… “Wait,” came Charmine’s crisp voice.
Julian and the rest instinctively stopped t o look at
her; they were evidently taken aback, too.
“Please settle the bill for the broken gold-plated
display glass. That’s three hundred thousand bucks in
total.” 4
Charmine took a card machine and shook it before
them nonchalantly.
Amelia, Joey, Julian, and Tiffany were utterly
flabbergasted.
Their eyes were red with hatred. Joey—the one with
the most grudge—snapped. “How shameless of you,
Charmine, to ask for money after all these years of
eating and using up the Jordan family’s resources!
And it’s three hundred thousand, too? 1
“Fine. Here’s three hundred thousand! But tonight,
you’ll have to come back to the Jordan family and pay
up all the money you’ve used throughout the years!”
Joey then took out a card and tossed it at Charmine.
