Chapter 246 âSecondly, tell everyone about the truth about you and Tiffany for the past fifteen years.
âThirdly, transfer ninety-nine percent of your shares to me.
âIf you could fulfill these three conditions, we can get our marriage certificate right away.â
Her voice resonated in the venue calmly.
Julianâs face instantly stiffened. Did she just say 99 percent of his shares? She was asking for s o much! Was she trying to steal his Mile-End Company entirely?
As for her first and second conditions, Julian knew she was trying to make him confess that Tiffany was the actual adopted daughter instead, that Tiffany bribed a man to rape Charmine. I f the truth got out, it would genuinely mark the end for Tiffany, once and for all. The Jordans would not like Tiffany anymore, and she would be sent straight to jail without a single percent of the family shares!
Although Julian had not been looking for Tiffany and did not like her as much, they did grow u p together. Moreover, she was his first love and the woman he cared for the most. How could h e ruin Tiffany completely?
Watching his hesitation, a mocking curl appeared on Charmineâs red lips. âJulian, you claimed to have learned your mistake, yet you canât even fulfill the most basic requirements. How am I supposed to marry you?â
With that, the audience began to exchange their opinions.
âWhat else did Tiffany do to Charmine? Was it so bad that she could be put to jail?â
âThatâs not the main point. The main point is that Julian is obviously protecting Tiffany. He still loves Tiffany!â
âHmph. I wouldnât want a dirty husband like this. Charmine, weigh your options carefully!â
The audienceâs perception had changed.
Julianâs expression turned darker as he warned, âCharmine, letâs not drive her to her limit now. Iâll promise to cut off everything with her, but canât we just let go of the past? Shares wise, I can give you forty percent of it, so please do consider. I donât wish us to part ways with displeasure.â 1 âPart ways in displeasureâ was emphasized as he handed the roses to Charmine again. If Charmine remained stubborn, Julian would expose her photos!
Charmineâs lips formed into a mocking, condescending smirk. Did Julian really think she was someone he could manipulate just like that?
Charmine suddenly lowered to the ground on one knee, with one hand clasped at her bent knee Charmine spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear, âIf youâre here claiming that I should let go of the past, why did you use this past to threaten me? Do you really think Iâm afraid? When it comes to it, what could be worse than exposing the photos and we all go down together? Also, Iâm making Tiffany do a DNA test with the Jordans today!â
Charmine then stood up and reached out to grab the photo placed among the roses. Julianâs face changed instantly; Charmine was going all out! She would rather go down with them all instead of marrying him!
If Charmine was to self-expose then accuse Tiffany of framing her, Tiffany would receive the worst end of the stick even without any proof, and her as-of-late reputation did not help her case. Should the DNA test be carried out...
No, it was not time for all that. Tiffany had not gotten hold of most of the Jordan family shares; everything was not ready yet.
Julian suddenly got up from his knee and pulled his bouquet before Charmine could take the photo. âCharmine, if youâre still not ready, Iâll give you more time to reconsider. No matter if i t takes ten days or ten years, Iâll be waiting.â With that, he insisted Charmine keep the roses while he took the engagement ring.
Everyone looked with the brows furrowed with suspicion. What just happened? Why did Julian walk away suddenly? What did Charmine say?
Everyone was left clueless, and Anthony was the one left with the most questions.
Anthony could very well lip-read, thus he noted Charmineâs every word to Julian.
âExpose the photos? What photos was Julian threatening Charmine with? Why did Charmine say they would all go down together? Did Julian have things in his hands that could bring Charmine down? Speaking of the conditions Charmine proposed, she spoke of this thing that happened five years ago. What actually happened five years ago?
After a series of thoughts, his gaze landed on Robert. He asked in a deep voice, âFive years ago, what happened to Charmine?â
He had to find out. He had to help Charmine solve all of her problems!
