In an attempt to save her career, Tiffany quickly reached out and held onto the manager’s hand. “Didn’t we have a deal? That photo was Photoshopped; it really wasn’t me in that photo. I don’t do these things. How could anyone assume the photo is real without asking me first?” she whimpered as tears rolled down her face, touching and convincing. Alas, the innocent face she pulled only reminded everyone of what they just saw on the screen. “We’re deeply sorry, Miss Jordan. Let’s discuss this next time.” The manager pulled her hand away and ordered the securities, “Someone please send Miss Jordan out, and bring her the bill of her damage to the screen.”A few securities came forward and showed Tiffany out, expressions of mockery and disdain on their faces as they did.Tiffany could not stand this poor attitude toward her. She was brought up as the heiress of the Jordan family, treated with utter respect and admiration. She had never been more embarrassed in her life. However much sh

In the ballroom, Chanel’s executive manager was about to sign Charmine.“Mr. James, are you sure you want to sign a nobody? She has absolutely zero stage experience!” Amelia Jordan protested. “Exactly. She’s just witty! I can bring fireflies to cheat like her, too. Matter of fact, anyone could, but these are cheap tricks that won’t hold up on such a big occasion like tomorrow’s.” “Alright, why don’t you ladies show us some tricks? You’re all pretentious, thinking yourselves as supermodels as you put on dead-like expressions,” the manager refuted. He then turned to Charmine and, seemingly changing expressions in a 360-degree manner, spoke with confidence, “Miss Jordan, please sign here. Just do what you did up there and it’ll do fine. We believe in you.” Charmine sealed the contract with her signature. Pleased, Charmine then turned to Amelia Jordan and spoke, “Miss Jordan, you gotta try harder tomorrow. Please don’t end up foolish like today, losing to some inexperienced person

The unmistakable masculine scent from Anthony entered her nostrils and occupied her senses. With her heart picking up the pace, Charmine was angry and embarrassed altogether.‘Ugh! Nial must’ve done it on purpose!’ she fumed internally.Just as she was about to lash out, she heard Chris from the passenger seat, his voice pleading as he spoke, “Sorry, Mommy, please bear with us. Uncle Nial likes drifting, you see. He was an F1 racer last year.”“Nial, please drive carefully. This is a highway, not a racing track,” Anthony huffed in a low and authoritative tone.Charmine’s voice was lodged in her throat when she heard him. Anthony then held Charmine by her arms and—with a much gentler and concerned voice—said, “Are you hurt?” He had a genuinely concerned face, and Charmine thought she was overthinking things again. She pulled herself up and distanced herself in an instant. “I’m fine,” she replied as she held tightly onto a handler in the van, securing herself.With such a strong g

Splash!Robert’s head was pushed into a sink filled with dirty water. Charmine shoved his head further in with her heel. “Wash your head off those false and filthy thoughts!” she jeered. “Think about this: If Tiffany wanted the best for you, why didn’t she encourage you to study harder? Why did everyone in the family end up avoiding and despising you?”Robert struggled to breathe under the water, unable to get up as Charmine’s incredible strength kept him down. Suffocating, the dirty water shot up into his mouth and nostrils the moment he opened his mouth in his struggle. It was only when he nearly passed out that Charmine removed her leg.Harshly pulling him by his hair, Charmine growled, “Robert Jordan, don’t be such an idiot; that’s all I’m leaving you with. If you do this to me again, I won’t let you off so easily. Not even if we’re related.” She let him off and left.Robert sat beside the sink as he struggled to catch his breath. Unbelievable! What changed the shy and quiet

At the Jordan family’s mansion... Tiffany staggered onto the sofa, terrified. ‘How could this be? It was going so well... How did it all turn so wrong? Why would Professor Zero make such a clip ruining my reputation if he claimed to be a fan, and going so far as publishing the clip?!’ she exploded, ranting deliriously to herself.It was then when Julian Cabell walked into the room, wearing an exquisitely tailored suit. “Tiffany, what’s the photo abo—”“It’s bullsh*t! Bullsh*t! ” Tiffany snapped before he could finish his sentence. Julian stopped short. He had never seen Tiffany like this before.Once she realized it was Julian, Tiffany hastily recollected herself and rushed to him as she whimpered, “Julian, Darling, I didn’t mean to yell at you. I was just very disappointed at Charmine.” She then continued as she simmered in resentment, “I’ve never done her wrong all these years, except for the one time five years ago. I can’t believe she can be so evil. I wonder what she has
