Chapter 484 Alas, Charmine was the same daughter Joey had scolded and beaten when she was just a child. She hated this âadopted daughterâ of hers and even went as far as removing her from the family... 10 She even brought men to attack her villa! A surge of guilt and remorse overwhelmed her senses. She grabbed Adamâs arm again. âOh, Adam, what can we do...? How are we supposed to face Charmine? Will she forgive us? Iâm way too ashamed to see her!â
âSigh... Iâm thoroughly ashamed, too.â Adam sighed.
Joey, at least, had treated her.kindly when she first brought her home while everyone else fought against that decision, assuming that Joey and Adam did this to get more of the family shares. That caused quite a scene back then. Therefore, Adam did not like Charmine since young, and he had never treated her with kindness.
At that moment, Lily walked toward Adam. âBrother, Dad had said that no matter how ashamed both of you are, you must go and find Charmine.â
âLook whatâs happening to us: Weâre in such a mess, and weâre fifty billion in debt. Weâre going bankrupt, yet thereâs no way we can find this amount of money. Only Charmine could save us,â added Felix as he stood behind Lily.
Joey was livid when she heard that. âWhat rights do you have to say this? Back then when I picked up Charmine, all of you thought that Iâm trying to get a bigger share of the family shares, and all of you want her dead! When have you never treated her with hostility throughout the past twenty-three years? When have you ever stopped condemning her and calling her names? Now that weâre in trouble, you want her to use her money to save us? How are you not ashamed?â âIsnât Charmine the heiress of the family? Itâs her duty to save the family!â Amelia walked over.
True, Amelia did not like Charmine, but she was the only person who could save the family. It was because of that that Amelia had to join in to persuade Charmine to come back and, at least, save the family first.
Adam scoffed, âThis isnât what you guys have said when she got hold of the family share. Youâre all aware of how we treated her over the years! We looked down on her during our glorious days, and now that weâre in a mess, we want her to save us? Iâm too ashamed to do so! If youâre not ashamed, you may go and find her yourself!â His voice was firm and furious. Since Senior Jordan was on their side, Amelia and her parents shivered under Adamâs words. Adam and Joey did not care what everyone else thought. Once they found out that Charmine was their actual daughter, all they wanted was to meet Charmine and make up for their mistake, wishing only for her forgiveness. Wanting her to come home and save the state of their family affairs? They were too ashamed to do so! 3 Amelia pouted as she sat on the chair furiously. âThen let it be! Letâs all live in the hospital and eat the hospital meal box forever! Letâs just live on like this forever!â âThe Jordan family is so unlucky to have come across this. Whatâs so hard about keeping a close eye on oneâs own children? That one daughter had been swapped in and yet is unwilling to take responsibility for it...â Felix mumbled.
Adam was furious. He slammed his palms against the table as he shot up. âSay it again! Whoâs unwilling to take responsibility?!â
âWhat Iâm saying... What Iâm saying is that...â Felix hid behind Lily hastily, and he continued with his head stuck out from behind, âNo matter if it was an actual or adopted daughter, theyâre both your daughters, especially that Tiffany. You both raised her! Of course you have to take on full responsibility for what happened!â
âThis isnât what you said when you received gifts worth tens of thousands bucks from Tiffany!â Joey refuted angrily. The scene was unfolding into yet another fight. Suddenly...
âEnough!â
An old and hoarse voice snapped. Senior Jordan anchored his walker cane heavily onto the floor. âA bunch of useless trash.
Stop messing around! Adam, go and apologize to Charmine right away. No matter what, you must gain her forgiveness. As for saving the Jordan family, just ask if sheâs willing to. If sheâs willing to, the entire Jordan family will belong to her. If sheâs unwilling to, donât force it... Just as long as sheâs willing to come home for a meal with us.â
Senior Jordan did not wish for anything elseâhe merely wanted to hear her call him Grandpa again. All these years, she had been calling him Grandpa as the adopted daughter. Senior Jordan wanted to hear it coming from the familyâs actual heiress.
However, Amelia jumped up instantly to object, âNo way! The entire Jordan family cannot belong to her!â
