Chapter 52
“So did she photoshop that photo as well? Was this a

hoax?”
Some paparazzi scowled at Amelia while some threw
one question after another.
Hearing that, Amelia snapped back from her shock
and yelled, “I didn’t photoshop the photo. It’s real! The
reason I went to Prince Gray was to help him dissolve
the situation!
“There has to be something going on between Prince
Gray and Charmine. Otherwise, why would he help
her? He even gave her such a huge diamond ring!”
Since Amelia’s reputation was ruined, she wanted to
drag Charmine down with her.
Just as she expected, the paparazzi directed their
questions at Simon.
“Prince Gray, what’s your rtionship with
Charmine? Why did you give her a diamond ring?”
“How did you get to know Charmine? Are you here
today to defend Charmine?”
Simon never lost hisposure and remained coolheaded,
even after being questioned incessantly.
“Yes,” he calmly spoke, “I’m here to defend Charmine,
and I’ll tell you why! Charmine is my boss!”
What? Charmine?! She was his boss?! Was he
kidding?
Seeing that everyone stared at him in disbelief, he
reiterated clearly, ” Charmine holds sixty percent of
Gray Diamond Empire’s shares. She’s the director
with the most power.”
Wow!
So Charmine was Prince Gray’s boss all this while?
She was Gray Diamond Empire’s director?!
How could it be?
[Prince Gray, are you mistaken? Charmine is just an
adopted daughter. How could she be so rich?]
[Gray Diamond Empire belongs to your family for
many generations. About a hundred years ago, isn’t
it? How could the director be someone outside the
family?]
[You’re just making things up to cover for Charmine!]
Simon was bombarded with innumerable questions
on live-streaming tforms; n o one bought what he
had just said. There were so manyments that
most of the live- streaming influencers’ phones had
crashed.
Even the Baileys were bbergasted. They were wellequipped
to spring right into action, but the event
unfolded in such a direction that they never saw
First it was Amelia, publicly shamed due t o the video
footage. Now, Simon spoke out and imed Charmine
was his boss?
Warily, Nial eyed Anthony. “Brother, how much of a
percentage do you think Simon is truthfully speaking
right now?”
Anthony stared at the screen, and he could not help
recalling that proud and arrogant face Charmine’s.
Not long after, he replied firmly and surely, “A
hundred percent sure.”
As expected, facing the questions and doubts, Simon
dered in an affirmative tone, “I, Prince Simon Gray,
never lied m y entire life. As a matter of fact, I do
have proof. Here’s a photo taken five years ago,
during the dinner to celebrate Charmine for buying
Gray Diamond Empire’s shares.”
With a gesture from Simon, a number of photos
showed up on the screen: Gray Diamond Empire’s
share distribution graph, a photo of Charmine in a
meeting with the rest of the board, and a full image of
Simon passing Charmine a diamond ring.
This was the true, full image of what Amelia found
earlier. In this photo, however, Simon was shown
standing at the front, passing a pigeon egg-sized
diamond ring to Charmine. Princess Verna stood
behind him and held a certificate of the shares. In
truth, they were standing in a line to pass the
diamond and the certificate to Charmine, but the
photo Amelia found only captured half of it.
Shocked, everyone had long forgotten to take photos
as they stared nkly at the screen.
It was true. Charmine was Gray Diamond Empire’s
director. She was Diamond Prince Simon’s boss!
Prince Simon, a handsome and rich prince, was
merely Charmine’s staff!
This was unbelievable! What shocking news! 1
There was only one influencer with her phone still
streaming, but after thest photo was shown, her
phones…
