Chapter 220: Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Meanwhile, Tiffany laid on the ICU bed in a hospital, exhausted. Due to her torn scalp, her head was shaved in a large 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 glares 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 slammed 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-in-law and planned to steal her sister’s assets! She’s incredibly shameless!”

Tiffany was already suffering from the overwhelming pain, but when she heard the comments directed at her, she tightly balled her fists tucked underneath the blanket.

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 still laying down, eyes still shut.

“Sigh! Tiffany has been acting so strange lately. 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 village, 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 accusing 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 while completely 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 planned 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.
