Chapter 516 âThen... Then letâs eat. Weâll take it as a lesson, and weâll know better next time...â
âDad! How can you be so shameless? Itâs merely bread rolls, just worth nine hundred and ninety-nine! Charmine is humiliating us!â The usually conceited Amelia could not bear with Charmine as she glared daggers at her. âTiffany wonât do this if sheâs here!
She wonât be as evil as you!â 2 Everyoneâs expressions darkened as Amelia mentioned Tiffany, and the air grew heavy. Adam and Joey looked especially awful.
Whenever they heard the mention of Tiffany, their chest tightened. Lily tugged at Ameliaâs sleeve and spoke in a hushed tone, âAmelia, stop talking. Hold it in!â Charmine was not the person they could afford to offend. The entire Jordan family relied on her!
âIâm telling the truth!â argued Amelia. âSo what if Tiffany was the adopted daughter all along? She never treated any of us so badly! Sheâd never humiliate us like this! Charmine obviously has tens or hundreds of billions worth of assets, yet she made us have the bread ârolls? Is this what a human does?â
âWhat about what you all did today? Was that humane in any sense?â Senior Jordan slapped his hands on the table, his face red as he recalled what happened in the ward. Amelia refuted nonchalantly, âWe did that for Robert. What about Charmine? What good does she get for doing this? Is she even half as generous as Tiffany?â
At that moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open and a group of men walked in. All of them were dressed in suits as they exuded an air of smart elegance.
The people in the room frowned. Who were these people?
The man leading the men was in his forties. He walked up to Senior Jordan and handed him his name card. âHello, Senior Jordan, Iâm the general manager of the bank. We came here to let you know that if you still donât pay up your loan, in two days, weâll start putting your mansion, luxury cars, factories and all other assets on auction.â 1 Everyoneâs face changed. They were selling them out so soon? Amelia was just praising Tiffany moments ago, yet the truth came back biting her. Every property and luxury car to be put on auction? Her favorite flaming red Ferrari was one of them!
All of this happened because of Tiffany! Tiffany caused this!
Ameliaâs expression turned ugly.
Instantly, Lily stood up and looked at Charmine. âCharmine, didnât you say youâd help out the Jordan family? Amelia was being too irrational earlier, and sheâs younger than you, so please donât take it to heart. Please help us to pay up the loan-weâll be grateful to you.â âHuh? How much does your gratefulness cost? Is it worth it to bring out tens of billions to help you?â Charmine scoffed coldly.
Lilyâs face stiffened. Was Charmine not helping them out after all? She said she would when she first got to Royal Hospital! 1 Was it because of the bread rolls? Lily looked around and instantly picked up a bread roll. âOh, Charmine, we didnât mean to get in a fight with you earlier. I know youâre trying to help us by asking us to eat these bread rolls. Youâre right, we shouldnât have done that to Dad. We deserve a lesson.â As she spoke, she picked up a bread roll and munched on it. She also gave one bread roll to Amelia and Felix each.
Amelia did not look well; arrogant as always. She did not want to eat the bread roll, but she had no choice in her predicament.
She remained seated, not moving.
On the other hand, Felix was already munching on the bread roll rapidly as he looked at Charmine. âCharmine, look: weâre eating the bread rolls! Weâre family after all, and youâre the Jordansâ heiress. You wonât watch us die without saving us, right?â His tone was pleasing and flattering.
