Chapter 178


    It was pollen from the tulip.


    Her memory drifted back to the incident five years ago.


    That was when she woke up and found out herself in a room full of tulips. The tulips looked wonderful


    that first springtime. She thought the sight of tulips was her life’s pleasures that year. However, reality


    pped her in her face during winter on the day she was supposed to get engaged.

    Since then, she was allergic to tulips. Tiffany must have known.


    ‘She must be plotting this on purpose so that there will be issues during the photoshoot.’ Charmine


    started putting the pieces together.


    Thump! The cake fell to the floor. Tiffany took a few steps back to duck and stumbled.


    She stared at Charmine, full of deviousness in her eyes. “Ah!”


    She shrieked as her body fell right into the pond.


    “Help! Help!” Tiffany was waving for help. Now, everyone’s attention was diverted to the pond.


    “Charmine, you’re way too much this time!” It was Joey. 1


    “Help! Somebody, please save Tiffany!” Joey yelled for help.


    People were running around. Some were making calls, while others searched for tools to help. The


    situation was chaotic.


    The shimmer of sunlight rippling on the water’s surface teased and mocked how vulnerable Tiffany


    looked.


    Rescued by a lifeguard, she was shivering in the cold. Her eyes were puffy and tinged red. The


    paleness of her face made her seem fragile.


    She gasped for air despite how much the coldness would freeze her from inside out and begged,


    “Mom, please, don’t put the me on Charmine. It’s all my fault. I can understand even if Charmine


    won’t ept my apology and hates me to the core. I won’t me her.”


    Slow, deste tears streamed from her unblinking eyes and dripped steadily along her cheek,“ I’m


    sorry, Charmine. I’m here to apologize to you sincerely. If that’s not enough, please do whatever it


    takes to make yourself better. You may even push me down the pond again. I just hope that you’ll


    ept my apology and forgive me.” Tiffany sounded remorseful for what she had done.


    Charmine was up in arms. Her grip on the railing tightened and she stopped, afraid that she would


    really push Tiffany into the pond this time as she tried to contain her emotions.


    She knew that Tiffany had purposely set this up-the pollen and the drowning.


    She knew that if she was to defend herself at this moment, no one would believe her.


    Charmine’s silence made Joey blow her top. “You promised me that you’d be kind to Tiffany yesterday.


    Look what you’ve done now! I know she’s at fault, but she made up for the way she’s treated you. She


    kneeled to you for a night until she fainted and the first thing she did when she came to her senses was


    to apologize to you again. How can you be so cruel to your sister!” she shouted angrily at Charmine.


    The bond she has just built with Joey yesterday seemed like a distant memory now.
