Chapter 221


    Meanwhile, Tiffanyid on the ICU bed in a hospital, exhausted. Due to her torn scalp, her head was


    shaved in arge area only to have nine stitches on it. After the anesthetic wore out, she grimaced in


    so much pain that she could not even open her eyes.


    The nurses threw dirty res at Tiffany as they quipped:


    “She deserves everything that happened to her!”

    “The wound is just on her scalp. She’s obviously pulling this just to get away with being sent t o Africa.”


    “Exactly! People usually end up with a wound on their forehead when they’re mmed against the wall,


    but she just got her scalp torn. She doesn’t want her face to get disfigured.”


    “She’s so evilly thoughtful! What a fake b*tch!”


    “She snatched her brother-inw and nned to steal her sister’s assets! She’s incredibly shameless!”


    Tiffany was already suffering from the overwhelming pain, but when she heard thements directed


    at her, she tightly balled her fists tucked underneath the nket.


    What a bunch of poor service workers! What rights did they have to say such words about her? What


    rights have they got to judge her? However bad her current situation was, she was still the heiress of


    the Jordan family, the heiress of the Jordan Group! Who were they to judge her?


    It was at that moment that the door to her ICU room opened with an audible click


    “Go out, I’ll stay here with Tiffany,” said Joey.


    “Okay.” With that, the nurses left.


    Joey and Adam walked into the room and went to the bedside, hoping to speak to Tiffany. They could


    only sigh at the sight of Tiffany stillying down, eyes still shut.


    “Sigh! Tiffany has been acting so strangetely. You’re her mother, but why are you so careless?”


    challenged Adam.


    “Since when am I careless? I called her every day when she went up to the vige, and I even took


    good care of her when she came back. How would I know she’d be such a good pretender? She even


    lied to her own mother!” Joey sighed. “I never would’ve thought that she’s this kind of a person.”


    “Whatever it takes, cancel all her appointments and events. For the sake of the Jordan family’s


    reputation, don’t let anyone visit her. Let her recover and cool down for some time,” Adam remarked.


    Joey frowned and asked, “The Night of Glory tearn called to tell us that she’s nominated for


    the Best Supermo”


    “Hmph! Isn’t it obvious? They’re trying to use Tiffany to gain more viewers. Even if they’re to actually


    give her an award, is she shameless enough to go and receive one?” Adam scowled “n o matter what


    events they are, cancel them all. Also, pay more attention to Charmine, since the media are berating us


    for that whole wedding fiasco.”


    With Charmine’s identity as the Jordan family’s adopted child exposed to the public, everyone was


    using the Jordans for not taking good care of Charmine and how pitiful she was. A lot o f people


    also figured out that Charmine lived on her own and had traveled all on her own. They also found out


    contrasting photos of Joey sending soups to Tiffany whilepletely neglecting Charmine…


    Thinking of the news she saw, Joey sighed. “I won’t pretend that I didn’t neglect her all these years.


    Though it’s true that she had been disobedient and rude since young, it’s hurtful…” 1


    “It’s all in the past now,” dismissed Adam as he added, “and all we can do now is to get some positive


    comments from the public. It’s now up to Charmine if our family can recover from the blow. You should


    probably spend more time with Charmine. Bring her to more events and dinner parties.”


    Joey agreed as she replied, “Don’t worry, she’s still my daughter even though I adopted her. I’ll use our


    family’s resources to help her in this Night of Glory event. As for Tiffany…” Joey sighed once more with


    a heavy heart as she added, “Let her recover for a year and a half. We’ll get her a therapist to see if it


    helps.” 2


    Despite having her eyes closed the entire time, Tiffany was still conscious. Hearing the conversation of


    her parents conjured waves of hatred that consumed her. Her parents were criticizing her in front of her


    sickbed as they praised Charmine!


    Charmine became the well-loved child, but what about her? Did they even care about her? Charmine


    nned everything… Charmine was the evil woman here! What rights had they got t o criticize her? To


    hate her? 4


    No… This should not be! If this went on, Charmine would steal everything from her. She could not bear


    to watch Charmine climb her way to the top! 2 The moment Joey and Adam left, Tiffany used all her


    willpower to open her eyes.
