Chapter 161
As expected, Julian nced at Charmine before saying to everyone, “I‘m sure everyone is aware that
the woman I was engaged to was Charmine, and I‘ve liked her since ten years ago. If it wasn‘t because
of the incident, we would‘ve gotten married already.
“I‘ve suffered a lot after the incident, and Tiffany was there to apany me andfort me, which I
misunderstood as love. Recently, after seeing Charmine again, I realized I‘ve loved her all this
while...“, With that, his gentle gazended on Charmine. “Please don‘t get confused. I didn‘t say all
these because of what happened today. Actually, I‘ve even confessed to Tiffany about my real feelings
for Charmine some time ago...”
What Julian was saying was that Tiffany could prove he had always loved Charmine.
‘Ha–ha!‘ Charmine almostughed out loud. This douchebag did not even flinch as he spewed lies.
What a disgusting jerk!
Before she could speak, Drake said, “But you proposed to Tiffany before! You keep switching between
the two sisters. This is disrespectful!”, “Grandpa Jordan, you watched me growing up. You know me
well enough to know that I didn‘t mean that, right?” Julian continued exining with a solemn
expression, “I don‘t mean
to y with their feelings... It‘s just that Charmine and I were once engaged, and we even exchanged
the engagement token! We‘ve loved each other for fifteen years, from when Charmine was three till she
was eighteen, while Charmine and I had only been together for five years. How can these twopare
to each other?” He spoke with such a convincing passion and pain that was hard to dismiss.
Even Drake–who was furious at his suggestion–softened after hearing his speech. “With what you just
said, does that mean you don‘t mind about what happened to Charmine five years ago?” he gently
asked.

Like a noble gentleman, Julian answered, “Not at all. Auntie Joey has said it herself: who hasn‘t made
a mistake before? Charmine was young back then. It was normal to make a mistake, and I was
immature back then, too.”
Drake let out a sigh and looked at Charmine. “Charmine, what do you say?”
Charmine had loved Julian for fifteen years. He had to consider her feelings, too.
Joey had mixed feelings. Both of them were her daughters, and although she preferred Tiffany out of
the two, she knew better than anyone that if Julian did not love her truly, there was no point to force
them to be together. “If Charmine could get over with what had happened, then it would be a good
thing,” came Joey‘s reply. “After all, if the incident five years ago was exposed, others would look down
on her anyway.” She then turned and looked at Charmine. “Charmine, what do you think? You were
engaged with Julian before. If you‘re willing t o, the two of you could pick a date and prepare for the
wedding right away.”
“Thank you for being so considerate, but...” Charmine’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and she looked at
Julian nkly.“ Sorry, but a good horse will never turn round to graze on an old pasture. I‘d never turn
and pick up something I dropped on the floor.”
Julian‘s face stiffened. She was not making it easy for him in front of so many people! He did not
degrade her in any way possible; how could she have had the heart to do that to him? Now that she
was Anthony‘s mistress, did she think she could do anything as she pleased?
Everyone else‘s faces stiffened. They did not expect Charmine t o be so rude and blunt. Was she not
hopelessly in love with Julian a few years ago?
Recalling that her daughter was still in confinement because o f Charmine, Lily mocked, “That‘s right.
Our Charmine is now the Diamond Boss with so much assets. Why would she settle with anyone? She
even has some attitude now!”
“Attitude? Tiffany did me so much wrong, and I could‘ve handed the evidence to the police and media.
Why did I have to spare her?” came Charmine‘s fiery counter. She then rified, “The reason I rejected
Julian was all because of Tiffany. I have t o consider her feelings too. After all, she‘s still my sister. If I‘m
to be with Julian, what would she think?”
