Chapter 125
Charmine looked at Officer Ryan and said in all seriousness, “T o summarize, I’m currently only a suspect. I only need to be detained by myself, you cannot lock me into a cell.”
Officer Ryan could not have guessed that she had such a good grasp of the law. However, everything she said was the truth. Hence, he ordered, “Take her to a detention room.” ,
Charmine was brought into a detention room. Compared to prison, the environment here was much better and she would have space to herself. The pure white room had a bed with a metal frame, as well as a simple but clean lavatory.
As soon as she entered the room, the door was locked shut from the outside. However. Charmine was not worried. She walked breezily around before lying down on the bed and gazing at her hands. A faint smile appeared on her lips. ‘Oh Tiffany, give it your best shot while I’m in here. Otherwise, the ending of this scene will not be exciting to watch,’ Charmine thought to herself.
At this moment, a knock could be heard, followed by a voice saying, “Charmine, there’s someone here to see you.”
As soon as she heard that, Charmine glanced at the door and saw Tiffany, Joey Young, and Adam Jordan standing there. She closed her eyes and completely ignored their presence. The three of them walked in without waiting for an invitation.
Joey looked at Charmine and started to scold her, “Charmine! How could you do such an evil thing? You could have poisoned all the other models but leave your sister out of this mess! I was really a fool for bringing you into our home all those years ago! Do you know how much embarrassment we’ve suffered because of you? Even now you’re just lying in bed! You better get up this instance and apologize to Tiffany and the others!”
Charmine still had her eyes shut as she continued ignoring her.
Adam was so enraged that he reached for the glass of water beside him and threw it at Charmine. With a splash, the glass o f cold water landed on Charmine’s face before she had any time to dodge.
Charmine opened her eyes swiftly and got up from the bed. Her icy cold expression gave one the impression of a wild animal that had just been roused. Her eyes gleamed with a ruthless light.
Adam was so frightened by her gaze that he stood in shock. It was a moment before he recovered his senses and started to scold her with uncontrolled anger, “Even now you’re still so unrepentant! The Jordan family really has wasted twenty three years on raising you! If you persist to continue in this manner and not admit your wrongdoing, if you do not apologize to everyone affected, the Jordan family will publish a n announcement saying that we’ll cut all ties with you. We’ll kick you out of the Jordan family!”,
Once Tiffany heard his words, her eyes flashed with a burst of glee. If Charmine was kicked out of the family, her 15% shares i n the family would belong to Tiffany! On the surface, Tiffany went up to hold onto Charmine’s hand and worriedly tried to speak sense to her by saying, “Sister, hurry up and speak! Explain the situation to mom and dad! I believe that you did not plant the poison. You’re innocent, right?”
“Get your lying, low-life b*itch face out of here and don’t pretend to be Mother Teresa in front of me,” Charmine glared sharply at Tiffany. Her cold eyes were like a sharp blade.
Tiffany was so frightened that she withdrew her hand subconsciously and her heart pounded in fear. Charmine unexpectedly still had such a powerful presence! A person who was locked up could still be so arrogant! However, this was the first time that Tiffany had seen her lash out in this manner. .
Tiffany smiled coldly on the inside and moved to the furthest edge of the bed having let go of her hand. However, she wore a n extremely pitiful expression that anyone who saw her would have guessed that
she was the one who had been locked up instead. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Tiffany you scheming b*tch! Charmine thought angrily. Even the sight of her made her mad.
Joey could not believe that even now, Charmaine had such a terrible attitude and immediately pulled Tiffany away. “Tiffy, don’t treat her.well or try to protect her any longer. You can see her unrepentant attitude. She’s completely shameless! From now on, stay away from people like her. Don’t ever treat
her like your sister anymore. She doesn’t deserve it!” 1
Adam also glared furiously at Charmine and raged, “Since you will not admit your wrongdoing, don’t blame us for being ruthless. I’m returning to hold a shareholders’ meeting and kick you out of the Jordan family! I’ll chase you out of Burlington!” With those words, Adam and Joey quickly dragged Tiffany out of the detention room like they were worried that she would be ruined simply by being there.
Without missing a beat, Charmine called out, “Take care of yourself! I won’t see you off.”,
Their backs stiffened as soon as they heard this, and they picked up the pace to walk away angrier than before. The room then returned to a quiet and peaceful state. Charmine picked u pa piece of tissue and used it to wipe her face.
