Chapter 392 âTiffany...? Tiffany?! Doctor? Whereâs the doctor?!â Joey cried out desperately.
It was not long until the doctor came, and after examining Tiffany, reported, âSheâs incredibly lucky to have been saved right on time, or else, her skin wouldâve been burnt. Sheâs suffering a minor fracture to her spine it seems, but it couldâve been worse and fatal. Sheâs lucky to have survived.â
Joey and Adam let out a sigh of relief and sat down.
At that moment, Robert rang them up and excitedly gushed, âDad, Iâm going to Kansas! Uji Quin has agreed to teach me, and he even said heâs going to train me to become the next king of gaming! Iâll leave after attending my sisterâs wedding, and Iâll make you all proud when I come home!â
Adam grimaced. What was that? To Kansas, he said?
Adam was drowned in his work, sorting out things and businesses for the family, yet Robert was going to Kansas?
âAre you trying to piss me off? Do you know whatâs happening right now? Your sister is keeping the company together, and yet an adult man like you is doing nothing but gaming! What is even in that thick skull of yours?!â
âWhatâs so bad about gaming? I can still have a bright future from it! Do you think businesses are the only source of income there is? As I said: Iâll bring pride to Burlington, and Iâll make a name for myself one day! One day! Youâll all be sorry!â With that, Robert hung up on him.
Beep, beep, beep! Adamâs face turned darker than it already was. âUseless! What a piece of trash!â he growled.â A sorry excuse of a son! What have I done wrong in my life to deserve such a useless son?!â
âUnbelievable! I canât believe heâs getting worse day after day! Not only is he addicted to gaming, but heâs even going to Kansas?
We shouldnât have given birth to him! Heâs nothing like Tiffany-not even a fraction!â Joey scowled as she simmered in anger, pausing for a moment as she gazed at the unconscious Tiffany on the bed. âAdam, we canât count on Robert anymore, and Charmine is adopted. Letâs transfer our shares to Tiffany. She gave us her word that sheâll still help you take of the company even after marrying Julian, and we all know sheâs capable of it. If we transfer the shares now, itâd count as her asset before marriage, so that the shares would belong to her instead of Julianâs.â
After a long moment of silence, and after glancing at the document burnt on the outside yet retained intact internally, Adam nodded. âAlright.â
Tiffany laid on the bed, internally partying at her success.
At last... She did it!
Concurrently...
Charmine was in the same car as Anthony and Chris, driving up to Southern Cemetery. The father-and-son duo insisted that they come with her even when she wanted to go alone, thus she had no choice but to let them come with her.
As the car drove closer to the cemetery, Charmine received a text from Kay: [Boss Jordan, there are many reporters waiting around Southern Cemetery, and theyâre all waiting to take photos of you and Anthony.]
Charmine frowned. Was it a trap all along?
Had someone planned this to get photos of her and Anthony together?
Was it McKenzie again?
Charmineâs eyes narrowed at that as she spoke to Anthony, âWait for me in the car and pull down the curtains. Iâll go down on my own.â
Anthony saw the text on her phone and said, âSince weâre here already, and sheâs someone important to you, itâs only right that we meet her.â
âYes! I want to meet Mommyâs Aunt! I like whoever is kind to Mommy! I brought flowers for her!â added Chris.
Charmine frowned. âBut there are people expecting us... I donât want the world to know about us just yet.â
âDonât worry. Iâm on it,â assured Anthony, voice mature and firm as the car pulled over. Anthony opened the door and got down from the car.
Charmine wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. âWhat nowâ she thought to herself. There were so many people out there. Was Anthony about to officiate their relationship?
