Chapter 55
Although Lily was more of a soft-spoken woman, she was very protective of Amelia. She continued to ask for mercy on her daughter’s behalf as she said, “Dad, I know Amelia made a huge mistake this time, but she wasn’t completely wrong. We’ve raised Charmine for so many years, so don’t we deserve something in return? She found such a huge diamond mine. Even if she doesn’t want to give it back to us, she should at least tell us about it, right?”,
“Exactly. She’s ungrateful. It’s like the old saying: ‘When one drinks water, one must remember the person who digs the well ?. Charmine not only forgot about the person who digs the well, but she even tried to kill the person!” exclaimed Amelia’s father, Felix Jordan-the second master of the Jordan family.
Just like that, the room was instantly filled with criticisms against Charmine.
Tiffany, not missing an opportunity to bring out her kind hearted persona, went forward and said, “This isn’t true! We can’t blame Charmine for not telling us since she never liked u s, but she must’ve told Grandpa.

Yet, Charmine…
Tiffany observed the change of his expression and knew she hit the bullseye. A glint of satisfaction passed through her eyes, but she stamped it down and asked in a concerned tone,“ Hmm? Grandpa… Charmine didn’t even tell you at all?”
Before Drake could even reply, Joey snapped, “How dare her! Although we had been quite strict on her all these years, all of us can see how well Dad treated her. How could she keep this from Dad? I can’t believe this!”
“She’s now a bird who can fly! Of course she’d fly away as far a s possible; she wouldn’t want to share her wealth or the diamond mine,” sneered Felix.
Encouraged by her family criticizing Charmine, Amelia looked at Drake with a disappointed look. “Grandpa, she doesn’t even care for you. Why are you still protecting her?”
“Although I’m immature, at least I’m your actual granddaughter who has your genes and blood. All these years,
