The celebration gradually receded, and the only ones left in the garden were members of the Jordan Family. Worn out by today’s celebration, Senior Jordan decided to retire to his room and rest.

The moment Senior Jordan left, however, Joey Young turned her hate-filled eyes at Charmine. “You’re an evil and cruel adopted kid,” she growled. “Tiffany had been protecting you ever since you were a kid and loved you dearly. How could you do this to her?!”

“I didn’t do anything. Did I make her buy the fake meteorite stone?” came Charmine’s nonchalant reply, undismayed.

This only fueled Joey’s anger. “She was scammed, and you didn’t even bother to warn her? You even humiliated her in front of everyone! Is this how you treat your sister?!”

“Someone please drag her out. The Jordan family cannot accept this kind of person!” Adam Jordan, the patriarch, barked to his men.

Several securities came forward, ready to drag her out. Charmine merely shrugged them away and coldly fixed her jacket. “No need. I can walk.”

She did not intend to stay at the mansion anyway.

“Charmine, where else can you stay? Mom and Dad won’t be angry for long, so just apologize to them, will you? I’ll be heartbroken if you stay on the streets…” Tiffany frowned. Of course, she was not genuinely ‘heartbroken’; quite the contrary even.

“No need. I actually bought a villa group, some twenty blocks of houses. I’m actually quite busy collecting rents.” With a faint smile, Charmine pulled out a few hundred sets of keys and swiftly turned away. The sound of keys jingling accompanied her every step.

Everyone stared with eyes wide like saucers. She bought so many properties! Where did she get her money from? How did an adopted kid get so much money?

Charmine then approached Tiffany and stood next to her, shoulder to shoulder. “Hey fraud, you better get ready,” she spoke in a hushed tone, though the warning was more than palpable in her tone.

“Now that I’m back, I’ll be taking what’s mine. Oh, and those who hurt me before? They better pick a god and pray.”

Though she had a non-threatening smile on her face, Charmine’s ‘smile’ was akin to a monstrous piranha in the dark; deadly.

Tiffany turned paper-white as her legs went weak. She was terrified. The Charmine who used to be quiet and shy had turned into this woman with such a powerful aura. Charmine continued to walk to the exit, proud of herself.

[She’s left the mansion!]

Charmine put on her helmet and left on her motorbike. Now was not the right time to make her official comeback. Even if she stayed, everyone would have tortured her for being ‘the adopted kid’ except Grandpa. After all, Charmine came back for revenge; not for them to treat her badly. The day she would make her official return would be a mass celebration, welcomed by everyone.

The sleek motorbike sped from Burlington City to the villa. Not long after, her phone rang. Stopping at the side of the road, she answered the phone. She heard panting from the other side before the person spoke, “Miss Jordan, why didn’t you let us know you’ve returned? We could’ve arranged your transportation. My boss has prepared for you a five-star villa—”

“No, it’s fine,” Charmine interrupted. “I’m only back for some personal business, so I won’t be staying over.”

“But—”

“I’ll contact you when everything is resolved. But, if you’re too bored, do help me check the identities of all the guests at Phoenix Hotel on Valentines’ Day five years ago, especially all the men who were on the top floor.”

Charmine lost her chastity in Phoenix Hotel five years ago in 2015, and her life was ruined from that night onward. She wanted nothing more than to find the man who destroyed her life; she would make him pay when she did.

“Of course, I’ll be on it right away,” Kay, the person on the other end, replied.

Once she ended the call, Charmine started her motorcycle once more and sped off. She was so focused on making plans that she was completely unaware of the van closely following not far behind. Situated outside of Burlington City, the villa was only 800 meters away, but no outsider would come as it was very quiet and secluded.

Everything happened too fast. The sound of a vehicle was heard, loudly so, and it came from behind her.

Bam!

The van powerfully rammed against Charmine’s motorbike, and the impact threw her high up in the air before she fell onto the side of a road near a steep slope.

Weakened, Charmine squeezed her eyes shut and gripped onto whatever she could to keep herself from falling. However, this did little to no help, as she rolled down the hill, with nothing to break her fall. The motorbike crashed and broke apart, with black smoke coming from the remnants.

Once he got down from the van, the driver immediately looked at the dangerously high and slippery hills.

As his eyes searched the area where Charmine had fallen into, his fingers fumbled on his phone.

“Miss Jordan, Charmine jumped from her motorbike and rolled off the hill.”

“Look for her immediately! I want her body; dead or alive!”

*

With serious injuries all over her body, Charmine rested at the bottom of the hill. Unfortunately, Charmine would not have her time to recuperate as she heard noises that came from the road above her. They were coming for her!

She would have given them a piece of her mind had she not sustained this much pain. Once she collected her thoughts, Charmine scrutinized her surroundings carefully and, not long after, saw a cave covered by bushes. Without wasting any time, she went inside. In the silent cave, Charmine rested against the walls of the cave and sighed.

However, the silence was broken when a child-like boyish voice called out, “Mommy! Mommy!”

Before Charmine could react, a soft and warm body coated with mud ran into her arms. When she looked down at this small figure, her eyes were met with a small yet round face, paired with watery doe eyes. The boy looked up at her and blinked.

    The moment their eyes met, Charmine felt as though a warm feeling was spreading throughout her being. It felt as though she was reunited with a person so dear to her. Chris Bailey—the little boy—held onto Charmine and clung tightly to her.“I was chasing a kitten before I came across you, Mom, but now I can’t find it,” the boy muttered. “But I’m happy now, since I found you again!” While this took Charmine by surprise, she soon recovered from the shock. Gently grabbing the boy by his collar, she pushed him away. “I’m not your mother. Where are your parents? I’ll bring you to them.”The boy’s initial cheery expression then morphed into one of pain. Suddenly, the boy began to sob. “Waa… My chest hurts…” Charmine released his collar out of guilt, but before she could get a word out, the boy went right back into her arms.“My chest hurts… Hug… Mommy, hug…” The boy nestled further into the embrace.Charmine was flabbergasted. Why would the parents leave such a cute boy behind? Jus

    Chasing after her, Anthony went to stand in front of her path, and it effectively blocked her. He took out the small box once more.“Miss Jordan, please consider,” he asserted, languid yet evident with determination.Charmine was speechless. Must she accept his proposal? Who placed such a ridiculous mandate?She gently plucked out the ring from its box. Needless to say, it was a beautiful heart-shaped diamond ring perfectly cut, and the exquisite workmanship was evident with the ring itself. It was one of the best cuts in the world.Yet…With a faint smile on her red lips, she tossed the ring away. Just like that, a perfectly cut diamond ring was thrown away like it was rubbish.

    Fists clenched tight, Tiffany called her manager, Veronica Ramos right away. “Find out who sent me the anonymous email in the next five minutes. I want his information,” ordered Tiffany. Tiffany believed she could blackmail this person into conceding defeat once she obtained their information. Nobody could ever walk over her. Alas...Five minutes later, Veronica called her again, but she came without good news.“Tiffany, I’m sorry. I found the best hacker in town and used up all my connections and resources, but we still couldn’t break in the sender’s IP address.”“How is this possible? I thought we had the best team?!” Tiffany’s fear had gotten the best of her as her voice raised a few octaves. “Now we can’t even break into an anonymous IP?!”She was the most celebrated supermodel in the world, armed with the finest of resources and best connections. There was no way such a thing could happen to her. “The hacker has skills we can’t compete against. We don’t know their iden

    The following day had come, and Veronica came over to pick up Tiffany. Tiffany was dressed in her best gown, face meticulously decorated with makeup. Her mother, Joey Young, walked her to the door. “I’m sorry, Tiffany, but I can’t go to the audition with you today. Your dad and I have a project to discuss after all. We wish you the best for this audition and getting into the final appearance. Mommy knows you’re the best!”“Thanks, Mommy.” The mother-and-daughter duo shared a hug before Tiffany got in the car. Once the door closed, the sweet and innocent smile on her face was replaced by an entirely different look. It was darker. Tiffany had been plagued with anxiety and concern since Charmine’s return. Tiffany knew the truth: Her poor biological mother was sentenced to death three days after giving birth to her. To ensure that her child would have a better future, she swapped Tiffany with Joey’s actual daughter, and poor Charmine was left on the street instead. Would Joey love

    Tiffany finally made her appearance in a white linen gown, simple and elegant, as though she came from a classic novel. Her hair cascaded down her shoulders, a floral band rested on her head. The gown fluttered with every step she took, and it was the autumn leaves that danced mid-air in a picturesque scene of a fairytale. Her exquisite face stood out from the other dull and tasteless models, though she still carried a fey-like poise. Her appearance was the personification of heaven on earth as she emulated the beauty of a goddess from a painting. The copy of the necklace was brought to life on her elegant neck.The designer of the necklace, Aida, was awestruck by what she saw. “OH MY GOD! That’s it! She’s the one!” she beamed. “This is exactly what I had in mind. It’s her! We’ll sign her!”“Amazing! Why is there such a pure and refined woman on earth? So honorable and spotless, like a blank white cloth!”“Definitely worthy of her immeasurable fame and reputation for being the bes

    In an attempt to save her career, Tiffany quickly reached out and held onto the manager’s hand. “Didn’t we have a deal? That photo was Photoshopped; it really wasn’t me in that photo. I don’t do these things. How could anyone assume the photo is real without asking me first?” she whimpered as tears rolled down her face, touching and convincing. Alas, the innocent face she pulled only reminded everyone of what they just saw on the screen. “We’re deeply sorry, Miss Jordan. Let’s discuss this next time.” The manager pulled her hand away and ordered the securities, “Someone please send Miss Jordan out, and bring her the bill of her damage to the screen.”A few securities came forward and showed Tiffany out, expressions of mockery and disdain on their faces as they did.Tiffany could not stand this poor attitude toward her. She was brought up as the heiress of the Jordan family, treated with utter respect and admiration. She had never been more embarrassed in her life. However much sh

    Chris Bailey pulled on Anthony Bailey’s sleeves. “Daddy, Daddy, help Mommy! Someone is bullying Mommy!” he whined. With a passive expression, Anthony reached for his phone, searched for a contact, and dialed it. Once the person answered, he spoke, “Charmine is mine, people.” In the hall, the person-in-charge looked at his phone dubiously before he looked at Charmine who was currently held back by the security. He was scared to death with what he had just heard. Goodness... This woman was Anthony Bailey’s people? “Stop it. Stop! Don’t hurt this lady here!” he shrieked as though downright fearing for his life.What just happened? The securities were befuddled while the crowd went quiet in disbelief. Was she not unwanted? What changed his mind?The person-in-charge walked up to Charmine in an instant and bowed to her. “You must be Miss Jordan. You said you needed one minute, right? Please, take all the time you need,” he sputtered, and rather respectfully at that. “Here at Chane

    Dior was still lost in her storm of thoughts when a shadowy figure zipped past her and ran toward Harry.When she spotted this familiar figure, she reacted quickly and held onto him."Let go of me!" growled Guy. "How dare he slap you and misunderstood you? I have to beat some sense into him!"Harry broke free and chased after Harry.Dior, despite having lost all hope and life in her, mustered the last strand of her will to chase after Guy and reeled him back. "Brother, don't," she muttered, "spare your energy…" Her sorrow clouded her eyes as she mumbled, "He’s the man I love. Even though he hates me, I won’t allow you to hurt him. As for the explanation…"Dior smiled ironically. "Whatever. That slap decimated every beautiful daydream I have about him, anyway."She no longer expected anything from him.He had no trust in her, so what would it matter if she finally got him? He did not even love her, and he did not trust her either.Dior smiled elegantly, but her eyes were fille

    Dior looked forward to that new shift.She watched as Harry made his way into the restaurant silently, unable to deter her mind from the daydreams she had of him, of the new chapter of their story they would have.He would apologize to her, trying to redeem himself, and kiss her dearly as he embraced her. Later down the line, they would have a child of their own, too.Harry's long legs walked in strides, his dark gaze trained on Dior.The bright light shone on Dior’s delicately stunning face, and she also wore a red dress.He remembered her wearing this back in Mount Village.He could remember how alluring she looked back then, how they stayed in the same room, how she put down her ego to treat him with so much gentleness.Harry’s cold face mellowed down, but recalling a certain memory, the vague wistfulness in him vanished and he sat in front of her.Dior looked at him fondly, like she always would.

    Dior examined the footage the moment she received it.True enough, it showed Sonia and George talking about their little deal. It also showed how Dior was telling the truth while they both ganged up on her.Dior’s frail heart felt as though it was rejuvenated once more, feeling as though blood was once more pumped into her heart. Her dull eyes devoid of hope regained their lost luster once more.Not thinking twice, she dialed Harry's number with this evidence, though he had to be busy, seeing as he did not pick up even after the phone rang for a long while.Just as she was about to hang up, Harry picked up the phone."What do you want?"On the other end of the call was the voice that she had missed for so long. His low, hoarse voice sounded so cold and emotionless.Hearing his voice brought Dior back to the image of his handsome face, and her heart skipped a beat.She tried her best to restrain her fluttering emotions as she tried to speak calmly, "Do you have time?

    At Mount Village…Inside the elegant bamboo house was Dior, dressed in a beige dress. She sat in the front yard as she took sips of her wine.The sunlight shone past the leaves and illuminated her, yet she exuded an air of loneliness.She swirled the glass and could not help recalling the moments she spent with Harry.In the beginning, she was attracted by his looks; he looked so gentle and elegant.She gave him money, kept him company, and continuously showed up around him in hopes of conquering him.Alas, she ended up in this state.The time she spent with him in Mount Village was the happiest time she had ever had.

    "Although Susan was unhappy, she should've voiced out her displeasure instead of bottling things. Cheating is wrong, regardless. Furthermore, if she wanted a career, she didn't have to stay home and depend on her husband."Grandma Bailey halted.Was that what Charmine truly thought of?Grandma Bailey thought Charmine would find Susan too aggressive unto herself.Charmine glanced at Susan again and apathetically commented, "She doesn't want to make money on her own, but she wants to be rich while complaining about her man not making time for her and taking care of her? If a woman has no ability of her own and also blames others for her miseries, all she's worth is to sit quietly at home and wait for her husband to come home. She also has no right to cheat!

    "No one's stopping you now. Eat!"Anthony clenched his hands tightly and took another glance at Charmine. He was more determined than before, and he was close to eating the pills in the bottle.Charmine, who was held hostage, gradually opened her eyes at that moment. Her gaze drifted toward Eric before she asked, her tone challenging, "Will you really feel good after you've killed them? You saw Susan suffering from a serious wound; would you still kill the one sibling you have left in the world?"Eric halted, and his eyes darkened.Charmine had just woken up, yet what she said…He cast a cold glance at Charmine.

    Anthony's breath hitched when he saw Charmine.He clenched his fists and, without doubting himself, relented "I can agree to your terms, so let her go right away. This has nothing to do with her; you only hate me after all. As long as you let her go, I'll take the pill. Everything will end right away."Susan shook her head. "We'll die after eating the pill. I’m not taking that!"She had just reunited with Eric, and she did not want to die yet. She looked at Eric and begged, "Please let Anthony be, why don't you? He’s your brother, after all, and he doesn’t even know about your existence. If you’re really angry, just kill Charmine, and I'll make it up to you—"Anthony's expression contorted in sheer fury upon hearing Susan's plea, and he glared at her with murderous intent."This was all your fault, so what right do you have to make Charmine take your blame?!""What on earth are you going on about?" snapped Grandma Bailey.
