Chapter 470 (Rex: Ok. Oh, right, someone is interested to buy 60% of the shares, but theyâre only willing to pay 80 billion.) Just 80 billion?
Tiffany frowned. 60 percent of the Jordan Groupâs shares were worth at least 110 billion. That person offered way too low! She replied: (Not selling below 95 billion.) Rex: (The buyer isnât willing to pay more than 80 billion. He said that the Jordan family is in a mess, and the reputation isnât well. His attitude was firm...
Tiffany was put in a difficult situation. True, 80 billion was no meager sum, but how could she settle for less when everyone hated her, coupled with the fact that she was to run away from Burlington?
She still had no clue on where she could go. All that running away, change of identity, and starting a new career all required money!
As she was caught up in her thoughts, a figure dressed in dark green appeared at the end of the hallway. Tiffany looked up to see the man-it was the middle-aged man she met at her wedding! She looked around to make sure everyone was inside Robertâs ward before marching out.
The man was cooperative, at least, as he walked outside and stopped below a tree in the empty garden.
Tiffany followed behind him, snapping in a low voice angrily, âWhy did you come? Have you finished the money I gave you?â
âTiffany, Iâm not-â
âI donât care why you spent them all. Leave, now! Donât look for me ever again! Iâm in a bad situation right now, I donât have time to care for you, and Iâm not obliged to care for someone like you!â huffed Tiffany disdainfully. The middle-aged man sighed, âTiffany, I came here to bring you home. Follow me, and youâll understand...â
âHuh? Go home? How dare you come and ask me to go home with you? Where were you when my mother gave birth to me?
Where were you when I lived on thin ice in the Jordan family?â
Tiffany only got angrier, more livid as she went through the memory and said it out loud, her eyes reddened with it. âLet me tell you: When youâre living a good life alone, my mother worked as a cleaner with her swollen belly. She woke up at five in the morning and slept after two in the morning! She had less than two thousand bucks on her when she birthed me, and she couldnât even afford the medical bills! She was thoroughly exhausted and died within three days after I was born!
âIn order to make sure Iâd live a better life, she dragged her worn-out body after labor to swap me into the Jordan family, all so I wouldnât turn out to be a cleaner like her!
âAll these years, I lived with the Jordans in fear, afraid that theyâd find out my true identity. Even when I was ill, I didnât dare to go to the hospital, and I didnât dare to donate blood or have a blood test because... Because Iâm scared! âIâm constantly terrified that theyâd find out my blood type, realize my DNA. Even in my room, I had to make the maids clean it every day, in fear of leaving behind a strand of hair...â
Tiffanyâs expression had morphed into the lock of slow terror and fear. Overridden with immense guilt, the middle-aged man weakly called out in a guttural voice,â Tiffany...â âDonât you call my name! Whatâve you ever given me? Even my name wasnât given by you! In the past twenty-three years of my growth, have you ever been a part of it? âYou just came looking for me now that Iâm making money and rich, huh? Are you not ashamed? Do you not feel bad? Get out of my sight, right now! I donât want to see you again! Ever!â hissed Tiffany venomously. âTiffany, Iâm really not asking for your money, Iâmââthe middle-aged man tried to explain. Tiffany merely pushed him furiously. âGet lost! Go!â
