chapter 581


    Senior Jordan sighed. "Originally, Anthony was first on the list Uncle Weir prepared. Based on his nationality and

    capability, he''s a good match for you. However, Uncle Weir said that he knew the Bailey family, and Senior Bailey


    isn''t easy to get along with. The family seems perfect from the outside, but their internal conflicts are quite severe.


    1


    "Even though Anthony Bailey is the Baileys'' patriarch right now, a few members are trying to get away from his


    ruling, with the most severe of all being Derek Bailey''s family. Derek seems gentle on the surface, treating people


    with kindness, but he’s a calctive and evil man in truth, doing things in his harsh ways. He and Anthony would


    eventually fight over control over the Bailey family. 1


    "Their family affairs will only drag you down if you''re with Anthony, and you’d even lose sleep over it. As you can


    see, a small family like US is already having so many internal conflicts, let alone big families like them..."


    Senior Jordan spoke with a concerning tone, sighing from time to time.


    Charmine expected the reason Anthony was crossed out was due to a grave situation... She did not expect it to be


    just that-familial affairs." Grandpa, external matters shouldn''t be the reason that stops two people from getting


    together," reasoned Charmine. "If I can’t be with him due to hisplicated family matter, isn''t it unfair to him?


    Also, others would see that us, the Jordans, are a rather problematic family as well. Doesn''t that mean no one


    would want to marry me?" 1


    ''Well..." Senior Jordan frowned. Charmine had a point...


    However, recalling something, he added on, ‘The most important of all is that Anthony has a child, and


    you’ll be a step-mother if you marry him. It''s not easy to be a step-mother, and you''re still so


    young! How can you be some child’s step-mother? This also shows that Anthony has had quite a


    peculiar love history, and I''m worried that it can hurt you."


    Mentioning that, Charmine’s eyes darkened. "Grandpa, do you remember the incident from five years


    ago?"


    Five years ago...


    Senior Jordan halted. How could he forget about the incident from five years ago?


    He was happily preparing for Charmine''s wedding when he saw her lying in a pool of blood after she


    was pushed down the stairs. Julian imed in front of everyone that she cheated on him, thus


    Charmine’s reputation was destroyed from then on.


    The Jordan family spent a lot of effort and money to settle this incident. They did all they could to


    minimize the impact, but it still cost them dearly.


    Senior Jordan did not believe that Charmine would cheat on Julian, but after giving birth to the baby,


    they made a DNA test and proved that it was indeed not Julian''s child...


    Ever since Charmine returned to the Jordan family, no one asked her about that incident. Nobody was


    willing to mention this scar.


    Therefore, only when Charmine mentioned this herself that Senior Jordan thought of something. "Rio


    said you overheard Julian and Tiffany, so they pushed you down the stairs. Did they do something to


    the DNA test result?" asked Senior Jordan sincerely.


    "No, the baby was not Julian''s. It was all Tiffany; she sent me to another man''s bed," muttered


    Charmine coldly.


    It was obviously a serious matter, but she made it sound so normal as if she no longer felt any hurt.


    Senior Jordan stared at her with disbelief. That actually happened? Was Tiffany evil to that extent?


    Charmine went through that grueling experience five years ago, yet they sent her away to Africa?


    Joey and Adam were walking toward them from the inside when they identally overheard Charmine. They were


    rooted where they stood.


    They did expect troubles were ahead, but never never thought that had happened to Charmine.


    Tiffany made Charmine lose her virginity and impregnated? Tiffany ruined Charmine''s reputation, and when she


    was at her lowest, they hated her, scolded her, despised her, and threw her away to Africa alone instead of helping


    her out... 1


    Joey felt her heart vigorously strangled with guilt, regret, self-me, heartache. She was suffocating...


    Adam marched toward them. "Charmine, why didn''t you tell US about this? We would''ve confronted her for you!"
