Chapter 404 How could Rio ohâso boldly claim to be RisingHawkâs president? Joey scowled, âRio Young! How dare you show us your fake name cards? Donât you know this company belongs to Charmine?â âOf course I know! Charmine invested her money, while I invested my skills. Whatâs the problem?â Rio refuted.
That stunned everyone in the room. So Charmine spent so much money to establish a company for Rio to fool around? What nonsense was that?!
Adam looked around to see that somehow, Charmine had already walked to the sofa by the side, sitting languidly on it. She had her legs crossed with her hands on her waist, reclining backward, exuding an air of arrogance and calmness. It was as if she was watching a show performed by a bunch of clowns.
Adam turned to Charmine and sternly asked, âCharmine, is it true what Rio said? You appointed him as the president?â
Everyone hoped that this was not true. They wanted Rio to be embarrassed, to be insulted in front of everyone. Charmine merely raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. âSo what? Got a problem?â
Her voice was cold, arrogant, and proud. Everyone was dumbfounded. So Rio was indeed RisingHawkâs president!
While everyone mocked Rio just moments ago, trying to do a good deedâ by giving him a small factory worth only 200,000 of dividend, he was already RisingHawkâs president who had no need of such meagerness. It turned them into the fools instead.
Tiffany was trying to insult Rio in front of everyone and make him look bad, but it turned out that she was the fool. Today was her wedding day! How could things go against her? Even a small thing like this was getting out of hand! A onceâuseless cousin came to insult her! She felt whiteâhot anger coursing through her being as tears rolled down her cheeks. She gazed at Charmine in pain, âCharmine, do you hate me that much? I begged for your forgiveness, yet you never accepted my apology! You can tell me if you hate me, but why would you ask Rio to tell me off? You shouldnât drag innocent people into this...!â It was only then that everyone realized that, as Rio worked for Charmine, he might have been told to say the things he said by Charmine. âArgh...â
Tiffany grasped at her stomach as though she was in agony. Madam Cabellâs face turned pale in shock. âTiffany! How are you feeling? Donât harm the poor baby.â
âTiffany, letâs go! Get some rest in the resting room. Donât get dragged down to their level,â said Joey as she held Tiffanyâs hand, walking her to the resting room. The furious Adam then scowled, âCharmine, even though Tiffany did a wrong thing, you shouldnât mess up her wedding! Youâre embarrassing the Jordan family! And the child in Tiffanyâs stomach is your niece. Do you want to cause trouble?!â
âIâm warning you: If my grandson faces any form of complication whatsoever, I wonât go easy on you!â Madam Cabell glared at Charmine scornfully. They all rushed in to take care of Tiffany, some asking how she felt while another poured her a drink. Tiffany was treated like a princess inside the resting room while Charmine sat alone in the corner outside, appearing more lonesome than ever. Julian glared at Charmine icily. âI canât believe youâd be this coldâhearted, Charmine.â He scoffed and turned to leave.
Not long ago, he was trying his best to win her heart. He thought she was straightforward, real, and genuine, but it turned out that was nothing but an evil womanâan irrational and heartless woman! If anything was to happen to the baby in Tiffanyâs womb, he would never forgive her! A smirk appeared on Charmineâs lips as she watched the group of people surrounding Tiffany. They were all so concerned about the baby, but she wondered how they would look when they learned the truth...
