Chapter 423 Although Senior Jordan liked Charmine, he also liked Tiffany. She was his actual granddaughter after all, and he had high expectations of her.
That was why he agreed when Adam and Joey wanted to give their shares to her, even though he knew the amount of shares with her would threaten his position. To him, the mistakes Tiffany made were just some mistakes most women would make. After all, which woman did not want to fight for fame and men? All that was important was that she was serious about changing and keeping a good reputation of the family image.
He was taken by surprise, then, when she slept with Julianâs assistant even after having Julian. Tiffany ruined the entire Jordan familyâs image as they turned into the laughingstock of the masses.
Senior Jordan was utterly crestfallen. To him, this granddaughter was already dead.
Despite his rage, Tiffany walked toward him and stood in front of him. âI came here to talk to you about some important matters. I heard that you want to take back my shares?â
âThatâs right. Youâve made such a big mistake, so you have no rights to own even a percentage of the family shares. The Jordan family canât be ruined by you,â scoffed Senior Jordan with a stormy expression. Tiffanyâs eyes turned watery, and at that instant, tears rolled down her cheeks as she sobbed,â Grandpa, Iâm your actual granddaughter...! Iâve been framed! Iâm really innocent!â
âHuh? Framed? Weâve investigated this matter, and nobody drugged you. Why are you still lying at this point?â Senior Jordan questioned her. âYes, nobody drugged me. I... I drugged myself,â came Tiffanyâs outâofâtheâblue declaration. Senior Jordan frowned at her words. What did she say? She drugged herself? Tiffany met his gaze and smiled bitterly. âI bet you donât know how much pain Iâd gone through latély. Ever since Charmineâs return, she had been slowly pushing me out of the modeling industry, ruining my reputation. âYes, I deserve all of this, but I had no choice! I really loved Julian, and because I love him, I made horrible decisions and did what I did...â Her voice turned hoarse as she started sobbing, âGrandpa, do you know that Charmine has gotten so incredible after she came back from Africa, and Julianâs heart changed? He said heâd love me forever, but now heâs changed and fell for Charmine instead! âWe made the same mistake during their wedding, but I was the only one criticized. What about him? He turned around and continued chasing after Charmine! He told me not to contact him, to not see him again, and even asked me to help him win back Charmine! âGrandpa, do you know how hurt I was? Do you know how hurtful it was after loving him for five years?â
The agonized Tiffany clutched her chest as though her heart was stabbed, all while her tears gushed like waterfalls down her cheeks.
Senior Jordan remained a stern look. âBut this isnât an excuse for you to sleep with Oliver! If you didnât do this, youâd have married Julian by now! Also, why did Julian fall for Charmine? Thatâs because youâve done too many bad things!â Tiffany inwardly scoffed at his words, hating what she heard. She had done too many bad things, huh? Charmine forced her hand into that! If Charmine did not plot to destroy her since her return and pushed her to the extreme, would she do all these things?
Tiffany had to hold backâit was not time to reveal her true colors just yet. She had to repress her anger, at least for the next few days. She swallowed her fury and continued with a pitiful voice, âI didnât want to either! Of course I didnât want to do that with Oliver, but Julian made it happen!
âGrandpa, you know I havenât gone out lately, and Julian didnât even want to see me. He was busy chasing over Charmine. I loved him too much and I canât live without him, so I asked him to meet me in the coffee house, trying to salvage our relationship.
Instead of showing up, however, he sent Oliver to meet me instead...!â
