Chapter 390 Once Joey saw both Tiffany and Ronnie walking up the stairs, Joey got up and walked toward the study room on the first floor, where Adam was sorting out some documents.
Joey walked in. âAdam, I need to discuss some things with you... Letâs give our twenty-five percent shares to Tiffany.â
They used to have 20 percent, but after Tiffany ruined Charmineâs wedding, they took another 5 percent from her.
That left Tiffany with only 5 percent.
Adamâs expression morphed. âAre you being silly? Give all of our shares to Tiffany? I wouldâve complied had you asked me way before this, but think of what sheâs been doing lately!â
Her first scandal was on her nude, and it worsened after she plotted against the top ten supermodels. It only went downhill from there as she seduced the man who almost became her brother-in-law, and last but not least, she was getting married because of her pregnancy! She brought so much shame to the Jordan family lately!
âSigh! I know sheâs made many mistakes, but she always apologized and had her punishment. Now her only wish is to marry Julian and live a happy life. Sheâs already pregnant, so she wonât do any foolish things anymore.â 1 Joey sighed and continued, âDo you know how the Cabell family is treating her? Iâm sure youâre aware that they take the wedding lightly. After everything is said and done, sheâs still the daughter weâve raised regardless of her mistakes. She always helped you out at work, and sheâs the most understanding child out of the three. Now, the Cabells are bullying her just because of her mistakes and her five-percent share! Theyâre treating her so badly even before the marriage, howâd they treat her after that?â
Joeyâs heart ached painfully as tears started rolling down her cheeks. As a woman herself, she could understand how hurtful it was for a woman to be taken lightly. She had her own fair share of bitter moments when she was married into the Jordan family, thus she did not want her daughter to be treated the same way.
Adamâs face darkened. âYouâre not completely wrong, and Iâve thought of that before as well... But every time I thought of her plotting against the supermodels and how she acted pitifully to lie to every one of us, I felt a chill down my spine! And you were there yourself, when she told us sheâs happy for Charmine. Look at what she did behind her back. She went all the way to sleep with Julian and even plotted to get her assets! Now I donât know which words of hers are real and which are fake.â
Tiffany listened carefully to their conversation outside the door with clenched fists. Were they taking everything away from her just because she had made mistakes in the past?
She had stayed under the radar obediently for the past few days as she did things accordingly. She even helped Adam to solve many of the problems from the company. Were they not enough to compensate for her mistakes?
Were her parents not helping her out when she was bullied around?
Back in the study room..
Joey felt as if her heart was pricked by needles. After a moment of silence, she said, âLetâs see ... Sheâs now pregnant. I believe that even if itâs for the baby, sheâd grow up and learn from her mistakes. Anyhow, I wonât allow the Cabells to hurt her!â
âDonât worry, Iâm her father. There are two days till her marriage, so we still have time to discuss things through,â he assured.
Tiffany scowled at that. What did he mean, they still have time to discuss things through?!
What was there to discuss? They just did not want to give their shares to her!
They were so critical to her even when they did not know she was the adopted child. What would they do if they find out?
Knowing Charmine, she would eventually expose her. Tiffany had to get the shares as soon as possible! By then, her eyes darkened forbiddingly.
