Chapter 58


    “Anyone who mentions the diamond mine will have their family shares confiscated!” barked Senior


    Jordan. +


    Tiffany clenched her fists tightly. A huge diamond mine, all for Charmine and only Charmine?


    What for?!


    What a dumb old fool!


    Of course, Tiffany would not say such a thing out loud, thus she could only bite back her anger.


    However, Drake continued, “Oh, right. Charmine, since you’re back, sign this paper and I’ll transfer you


    the fifteen percent of the share that I should’ve given to you a few years ago.” With that, Hobson


    passed him a prepared document.

    Charmine never expected Senior Jordan would still give her the family share, even when she had a


    whole diamond mine to herself. A glint of warmth swept past her usually cold and emotionless eyes.


    Before Charmine could sign, her foster father, Jeremy Jordan caterwauled, “Dad, are you insane? She


    already owned a huge diamond mine! Why are you still transferring fifteen percent o f the family share


    to her? She doesn’t even need this!”,


    Unable to hold back, Tiffany piped in, “Yes, I think Charmine


    doesn’t need this. After getting the share, she would have to b e part of the family, getting involved and


    attending meetings. Charmine is already busy taking care of Gray Diamond Empire, and now that she’s


    a famous model, it’d be too much on her te if she still has to take care of our family business, no?” 1


    As of now, Drake had thirty percent of the share; Joey and Jeremy had twenty percent; Lily and Felix


    had ten percent; Robert had five percent; Amelia had five; Tiffany had fifteen perfect. Thus, there was


    an extra fifteen percent on hold.


    Since Robert voluntarily gave away his five percent to Tiffany, Tiffany had twenty percent of the share.


    She had been eyeing the extra fifteen percent, and once she got hold of it, she would have thirty-five


    percent of the share in total. That would make her a bigger shareholder than Drake, and she would be


    the family’spany’s director of the board.

    This was why Tiffany could not let this extra fifteen percent be transferred to Charmine. s, Drake


    then said, “Charmine has always been part of the Jordan family, so she deserves the fifteen percent-


    share. As for the diamond mine, she earned it with her own life. You all could exchange one with your


    lives, too, and I won’t ask you to share it with everyone else.”,


    With that, he looked at Charmine. “Charmine, just sign here. Don’t listen to them.”


    Charmine nodded, and she picked up the pen and signed. This share would fall into Tiffany’s hands


    had she decided not to take it. How could she let this phony woman get hold of it?


    Everyone looked at her with their eyes reddened in anger,


    especially Tiffany. She nearly threw up blood in her fury!


    She had been eyeing this remaining fifteen percent-share for the past five years, but it still went to


    Charmine. What a b*tch! Why was she still alive? She already owned a diamond mine worth tens of


    billions; why did she have to steal the family share from her?


    “Everyone, please leave Charmine and me alone,”manded Drake.


    Everyone left in rage as they looked at Charmine with malicious intent.


    Once everyone else had left, Drake waved over at Charmine and beckoned for her toe.


    “Charmine,e here and side beside Grandpa.”


    Charmine walked toward him and sat by his side. “Grandpa, I hope you can understand about the


    diamond mine situation.”


    Even though everyone in the Jordan family knew about her diamond mine, Charmine would never give


    the mine to the Jordan family even if Drake asked for it.


    Drake patted her hand gently. “Charmine, you’ve done the right thing. You were never a part of the


    family. I can still protect you while I’m alive, but once I’m gone, they won’t treat you well.


    “This is why you need to take good care of your own wealth.


    You don’t have a family, thus wealth is the only thing you can depend on.”


    Charmine could not deny the warm tingling feeling, but she was still confused. “Grandpa, why are you


    so kind to me?” she asked.


    Everyone hated her since day one, and only Drake treated her a s though she was his actual


    granddaughter. It made no sense.


    A glint of deep reasoning shed through Drake’s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant. “You’ll


    understand in the future.” H e patted the back of her hand. “For now, don’t ask. It’s not the right time


    yet.”,


    This further confused Charmine. What was it? Why was Drake treating an adopted child with such


    kindness? What was he hiding?
