Chapter 54


    Many Twitter users tweeted as such:


    [I‘m wrong to have misjudged you. Please ept my apology!]


    (Boss Jordan, are you looking for a sister? I wanna be your sister!)


    (I can be your stepmom.)


    [I don‘t have to be your rtive. I‘ll carry your shoes and follow you around. You don‘t have to pay me


    either; just toss m e some unwanted diamonds.]


    Charminenguidly lied on her sofa, seemingly unperturbed a s she read the financial segment in the


    newspaper. A big bottle of Coke was ced on the coffee table in front of her, with a long straw


    extended to her mouth.


    “Everyone is ttering you on Twitter, hoping you‘d write a few words to them,” Eric began. “Do you


    want to post anything?”


    “Twitter? Oh, right.” Charmine took a long sip before she picked up her phone and posted a tweet.


    Out of curiosity, Eric clicked onto her page. In an instant, his face stiffened. A line of words sat quietly


    on Charmine‘s page: – (Julian Cabell, have you eaten sh*t yet?)


    ‘Have you eaten sh*t yet...‘


    Instead of taking this opportunity to befriend her supporters, she posted...this?! How badly did she want


    Julian to eat sh*t anyway? s, Charmine was just being Charmine; one should not count on her too


    much.


    Eric changed the subject and said, “Jordan Senior called in earlier, asking you to go home. What do


    you think?”


    “How could I say no to such an interesting drama?” Charmine smirked.


    At the Jordan Mansion, members of the family gathered in the living room.


    Senior Drake Jordan mmed his hands on the table and roared, “Amelia Jordan, how could you do


    such a thing?!”


    “As a part of the Jordan family, how shameless are you to seduce Diamond Prince Simon? You bring


    shame to me and the family. Do you know that everyone in Burlington isughing at us right now?”,


    “Grandpa, it‘s all Charmine‘s fault. She tricked me! If she‘s Gray Diamond Empire‘s owner, why didn‘t


    she tell me earlier and stopped me from hosting that press conference?!” Amelia stood her ground as


    she tried to reason with him.


    “How dare you!” Drake was so furious that he grabbed the teacup from the table and threw it at her


    head. “Did you ask for her permission before publishing the photo? You were the one who posted the


    photo while, all the while, you tried to seduce the Diamond Prince and med it all on her. You deserve


    everythinging your way, even if she wants to kill


    you!”


    “Argh!” Amelia‘s forehead bled from the wound caused by the impact of the smashed teacup against


    her forehead.


    She covered her wound with her hand and angrily barked,“ Grandpa, are you insane? Charmine is just


    an adopted daughter, and I‘m your actual granddaughter! Why do you keep siding with her?”


    “Me? Siding with her? You’re not sorry for what you did, are you?!” Drake seethed in rage as he called


    on the butler,“ Hobson, please enforce the family punishment.”


    The Jordan family‘s family punishment was thirty whippings. The whip had thorns on it, and upon


    contact, the skin would b e damaged and leave permanent scars.

    Lily Granger– Amelia‘s mother–instantly rushed toward Amelia and stood before her, shielding her as


    she begged,“ Dad, please calm down! Though ignorant, Amelia is still young .....I‘ll teach her a lesson.


    Tiffany, please help to speak for Amelia. Your Grandpa really likes you. Do you want to see Amelia


    getting whipped?” ,


    Although Tiffany enjoyed her kind–hearted persona, she knew how serious this was and did not want to


    get involved.


    Yet, Lily called out her name...


    She had no choice but to step up. “Amelia, hurry up and apologize to Grandpa. You did make a


    mistake this time.”


    “I made a mistake? All of you think it‘s all my fault, but do you realize how evil Charmine is? When we


    bumped into her earlier today and told her about the press conference, she didn‘t even exin to us


    nor did she try to stop us. She‘s just evil and wants to ruin my reputation!


    “Also, after so many years of raising her, she didn‘t even tell u s when she had the diamond mine.


    Instead of giving it to the Jordan family, she kept it all to herself without giving us a single penny!


    “Why are you all defending a heartless and ungrateful woman like her? She‘s just an adopted child,


    and she‘s not worth your pity!” Amelia raged on and on.


    Though everyone else in the living room frowned a little, they cared more about the diamond mine


    profitspared to the rumors.


    Since Charmine was an adopted child of the Jordan family, the diamond mine should also belong to the


    Jordan family, right?
