Chapter 68
“No need,” dismissed Charmine, “it was only a few
photographs anyway. Are you that tired from just
that? I’m not as pretentious as you.” With that,
Charmine stood and went to the nearby water
dispenser for a ss of water.
Tiffany was initially rxed in her corner, but
Charmine’s answer soured her mood in a n instant.
Her face went red with embarrassment, but as she
remembered she was the top model, she instantly
recollected her cool.
She took this opportunity and said, “Oh, I’ve been
useless as an older sister. All these years at home,
Mom and Dad had never let m e lift a finger. They
were worried that I’d hurt myself, and that’s why I’m
so spoilt now.
“I admire you, dear sister. You’ve had the opportunity
to work hard on your own. Unlike me, even when I
walk down the road, someone will always hold the
umbre for m e. Whatever I want to eat, Mom and
Dad will have it prepared for me right away. I’ve told
them before that they should treat you better, that
you could be their biological daughter! What do you
think they’d say to that?” At this point, Tiffany
purposely left it unfinished like a riddle.
Charminepletely ignored her and focused on
drinking her water.
Without relent, Tiffany added, “Mom and Dad said
you were never close to them ever since you were
young, and they never liked your temper or
personality. Even if you were their biological
daughter, they’d still like me the best.” Tiffany’s
sweet, soothing voice carried a clear warning. Even if
Charmine unraveled the truth about everything, what
could she do about it? Even if she told everyone, no
one would like her.
Charmine did not get the chance to speak before Aunt
Cherrie suddenly arrived.
“Ms. Tiffany, it seems my guess was right about you
being here. Mrs. Jordan heard that you’ve been
working hard on a magazine photoshoot for the
whole afternoon. She was so worried about you,
hence she specially prepared some ambrosia and
asked me to deliver it to you.”
“Mrs. Jordan treats you really well Tiffany,” came
Veronica’s offhandedment as she meaningfully
raised her brows at Charmine. Veronica received the
gold-ted container t o hand it over to Tiffany.
“Give it to my sister,” said Tiffany. “She has never had
ambrosia made personally by our mom.”
“Well, you have a point. Our Tiffany has had i t more
times than she can count, so we’ll let you have it this
time.” Veronica carried the container and walked
toward Charmine; her every action made it clear she
thought Charmine was a charity case.
Charmine mockingly nced at them and retorted,
“There’s no nutritional value in ambrosia. It’s got too
much refined sugar, and overconsuming it could lead
to conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. If
you wanted something refreshing and sweet but
much better for your health, I’d rmend eating
more fruits. They’re high in vitamins and are full o f
natural sugars which are better for you.”
Once she had finished speaking, she nced at the
ambrosia and shook her hand dismissively and
disgustedly. Tiffany and Veronica’s faces were as
ck as a kettle. This ambrosia was made to sound
like a disgusting dish! They were angry enough to
choke her to death, but they were surrounded by
people.
Veronica was so enraged that it was hard to speak.
Still, she managed to force out, ” Charmine, don’t call
the grapes sour just because you can’t have them.
Tiffany was nice enough to give the ambrosia to you.
How can you be so nderous?”
“Ms. Charmine isn’t being nderous, she’s speaking
the truth.” The Guci manager who had been standing
at the side this whole time walked up and said kindly,
“In our country, not many people would eat ambrosia.
The preservatives in most of the ingredients can be
harmful inrge amounts, and the dessert has an
extremely high sugar content. You’re a natural
beauty, so you should eat less processed foods,This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
especially those with a lot of sugar like ambrosia.”
Tiffany’splexion became even darker as her
fingernails dug into her palms. She had never been so
humiliated before. Why was it that every time
Charmine was present, something bad would happen
to her? She wanted nothing more than to choke her
and watch the life in her ebb away.
At that moment, someone walked in and said, “Ms.
Jordan, our chairman prepared a bowl of m
chowder for you. He hopes that you will enjoy it.”
Charmine’splexion started to improve a s she
thought, ‘m chowder?’
“ms are a type of shellfish which are high in
protein but low in carbohydrates and fat. They offer
exceptional nutrient density, and they’re full of
beneficial vitamins and minerals. This includes iron,
Vitamin B-12, and omega-3. You don’t have an issue
with m chowder, do you, dear sister?” Tiffany
arched her eyebrows and looked at Charmine, and
there was a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.
