Chapter 153
Caught off-guard, Lily tried to double back. “Dad, why would we fight you? We just want the best for the family. Having most of
our family share given to an outsider doesn’t seem right.”
“Exactly. Okay, let’s say Tiffany ends up being involved... It’s alright to confiscate her shares, but you could give it to me instead.
Why give it to the outsider Charmine?” Felix grumbled.
Drake glared at him. “As I’ve said many times, Charmine grew up with our family. She doesn’t have her parents; we’re her family.
She’s not an outsider!
“Also, has she brought shame to the family since her return from Africa? On the other hand, look at what Tiffany had done!
Anyone with a brain can see clearly what’s happening!”
Tiffany’s face turned pale; this old man obviously did not believe in her. She quickly put on her pitiful front and feebly walked
toward him. “Grandpa, I know you’re suspecting me, but I’m really innocent. There’s no way I’d harm my sister. Veronica did
everything, I swear it to God. I’d never-”
“Cut it out. You might fool a three-year-old with your act, but stop trying to trick an old man like me. I’m not a fool, and I’m no
idiot!” Drake thumped his walking stick heavily against the floor, unbothered to listen to her explanation.
Tiffany’s face turned paler. She gathered so many people here today with the intention of getting back her ten percent share, but
this old man was being so stubborn!
Charmine was an adopted child. Why was he so kind to her? In the past five years, Tiffany contributed quite a lot to the family.
She brought glory to the family and bought gifts for the family members. Ten percent of the share was a lot of money... How
could this end up with Charmine?
Whatever it took, she would do anything to get them back. Her eyes burned with determination and calculation, though she hid
them with a pitiful look.
“Since Grandpa doesn’t believe me, and everyone here doesn’t either, then just assume I did it. Just assume I did all these
things, and I’ll give up my life to compensate for this! Dad, Mom, thank you for raising me. I’ll pay you all back in my next life.”
With that, she smashed her head against the wall beside her.
Everyone screamed in shock, especially Joey. She instinctively rushed for Tiffany and pulled her back. “Tiffany, how could you be
so dumb?! Stop it! I can’t do without you!”
“Just let me smash into the wall and die, Mom! Now that everyone suspects me, my fans are scolding me, and even my family is
treating me with such... “I’m heartbroken. So, so heartbroken. It’s my fault for not teaching Veronica well, and this is the price I
should pay for. ! I deserve this. !” cried Tiffany with convincingly real tears, her voice became hoarse from all the screaming. Joey
felt as if her heart was broken into pieces, but just as she was about to speak...
“Let her ram against the wall all she wants. Let’s see if she’d do it,” came a cold and crisp voice that resonated in the hall.
Everyone turned to see Charmine marching toward them. Her smoke-grey gradient tube top contrasted with her fiery burgundy
flower patterns on her dress, while the flying phoenix embroidered on her chest emanated class and regality.
Tiffany’s eyes narrowed instinctively at the sight. ‘Why is this b*tch here?’ she inwardly cursed. Why was Charmine dressed so
boldly while Tiffany was at her lowest? It does not help that Charmine might make her genuinely smash her skull against the
wall! Joey was livid. “What are you saying, Charmine?! Tiffany is your sister! She treated you so kindly from a young age and has
always protected you from harm, yet you treat her with such cruelty? Are you even a human?”
