Chapter 67: Chapter 68

Chapter 68 “No need,” dismissed Charmine, “it was only a few photographs anyway. Are you that tired from just that? I’m not as pretentious as you.” With that, Charmine stood and went to the nearby water dispenser for a glass of water.

Tiffany was initially relaxed in her corner, but Charmine’s answer soured her mood in a n instant.

Her face went red with embarrassment, but as she remembered she was the top model, she instantly recollected her cool.

She took this opportunity and said, “Oh, I’ve been useless as an older sister. All these years at home, Mom and Dad had never let m e lift a finger. They were worried that I’d hurt myself, and that’s why I’m so spoilt now.

“I admire you, dear sister. You’ve had the opportunity to work hard on your own. Unlike me, even when I walk down the road, someone will always hold the umbrella for m e. Whatever I want to eat, Mom and Dad will have it prepared for me right away. I’ve told them before that they should treat you better, that you could be their biological daughter! What do you think they’d say to that?” At this point, Tiffany purposely left it unfinished like a riddle.

Charmine completely ignored her and focused on drinking her water.

Without relent, Tiffany added, “Mom and Dad said you were never close to them ever since you were young, and they never liked your temper or personality. Even if you were their biological daughter, they’d still like me the best.” Tiffany’s sweet, soothing voice carried a clear warning. Even if Charmine unraveled the truth about everything, what could she do about it? Even if she told everyone, no one would like her.

Charmine did not get the chance to speak before Aunt Cherrie suddenly arrived.

“Ms. Tiffany, it seems my guess was right about you being here. Mrs. Jordan heard that you’ve been working hard on a magazine photoshoot for the whole afternoon. She was so worried about you, hence she specially prepared some ambrosia and asked me to deliver it to you.”

“Mrs. Jordan treats you really well Tiffany,” came Veronica’s offhanded comment as she meaningfully raised her brows at Charmine. Veronica received the gold-plated container t o hand it over to Tiffany.

“Give it to my sister,” said Tiffany. “She has never had ambrosia made personally by our mom.”

“Well, you have a point. Our Tiffany has had i t more times than she can count, so we’ll let you have it this time.” Veronica carried the container and walked toward Charmine; her every action made it clear she thought Charmine was a charity case.

Charmine mockingly glanced at them and retorted, “There’s no nutritional value in ambrosia. It’s got too much refined sugar, and overconsuming it could lead to conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. If you wanted something refreshing and sweet but much better for your health, I’d recommend eating more fruits. They’re high in vitamins and are full o f natural sugars which are better for you.”

Once she had finished speaking, she glanced at the ambrosia and shook her hand dismissively and disgustedly. Tiffany and Veronica’s faces were as black as a kettle. This ambrosia was made to sound like a disgusting dish! They were angry enough to choke her to death, but they were surrounded by people.

Veronica was so enraged that it was hard to speak.

Still, she managed to force out, ” Charmine, don’t call the grapes sour just because you can’t have them.

Tiffany was nice enough to give the ambrosia to you.

How can you be so slanderous?”

“Ms. Charmine isn’t being slanderous, she’s speaking the truth.” The Guci manager who had been standing at the side this whole time walked up and said kindly, “In our country, not many people would eat ambrosia.

The preservatives in most of the ingredients can be harmful in large amounts, and the dessert has an extremely high sugar content. You’re a natural beauty, so you should eat less processed foods, especially those with a lot of sugar like ambrosia.”

Tiffany’s complexion became even darker as her fingernails dug into her palms. She had never been so humiliated before. Why was it that every time Charmine was present, something bad would happen to her? She wanted nothing more than to choke her and watch the life in her ebb away.

At that moment, someone walked in and said, “Ms.

Jordan, our chairman prepared a bowl of clam chowder for you. He hopes that you will enjoy it.”

Charmine’s complexion started to improve a s she thought, ‘Clam chowder?’

“Clams are a type of shellfish which are high in protein but low in carbohydrates and fat. They offer exceptional nutrient density, and they’re full of beneficial vitamins and minerals. This includes iron, Vitamin B-12, and omega-3. You don’t have an issue with clam chowder, do you, dear sister?” Tiffany arched her eyebrows and looked at Charmine, and there was a twinkle of mischief in her eyes.
