Every single attendee was stunned at the turn of events, and ‘that included Amelia who reeled back in shock.
How... How could this be?
Was Charmine not an adopted daughter? How did she become Gray Diamond Empire‘s director?!

Amelia nearly threw herself against Simon in fury as she made her way to him. She clutched at his sleeves and desperately yelled, “I don‘t believe you! How could she be the boss? How did she become your director? This is all so fishy! Even if she didn‘t sleep with you, she must‘ve slept with your father, right? Right, that must be it! Is she your step–mother? Did your father give all of his shares to her?”
“That‘s enough! You slandered me, and now you want to do that to my aging father, too?” Simon swatted her hands away i n disgust, and he stared her down with his cold blue eyes.” How did Charmine become my boss? Well, it‘s all because of you!
“Five years ago, when Charmine was sent to Africa, you bribed her maid to bring her to a hill and push her down from the top. Somehow, she stumbled across a huge diamond mine at the bottom of the hill, and there were at least three billion tons of diamonds!”.
. “The owner of the mine was an alcoholic and had no idea of how precious the mine was. Charmine borrowed and collected five hundred thousand bucks, and she bought this mine from , the alcoholic. Do I still have to tell you the details of what happened next?”
What happened next was that everyone had their eyes on the mine Charmine had bought. Many people made her handsome offers, but Charmine rejected them all. At the same time, Gray Diamond
Empire was facing the crisis of their diamond mine running out of diamond after over a hundred years of mining. They were about to go bankrupt. Even if they wanted to bid for this mine, they had no resource to, and all they could do was t o watch their Empire go bankrupt.
Charmine was like an angel sent from heaven. She was willing t o help Gray Diamond Empire get back on their feet on one condition: She wanted sixty percent of the company shares.
Choosing between bankruptcy or owning forty percent of their own company shares, Gray Diamond Empire chose the latter and signed the letter for transfer of shares.
Amelia was uninterested in all these. All she could hear in her mind was Simon‘s first few words:
‘It‘s all because of you...‘
Afl because of you...‘
‘All because of you...‘
This sounded like a curse that echoed in her mind. She could feel her head aching tremendously as she was overwhelmed with hatred, rage, and jealousy that could split her head into ,halves.
She was the one who directed Charmine to the diamond mine, who led Charmine to the peak of her life! It was all because of her...
Argh!
Once she saw Amelia nearly losing consciousness on the stage, Amelia‘s mother–Lily Granger–rushed onto the stage with the security guards and carried Amelia away as fast as possible.
With that, the press conference ended. At the Bailey mansion, Anthony‘s eyes were still fixated on the screen. “How much is Charmine‘s net worth?” he calmly asked Nial.
Nial fired up a software program and began calculating dexterously. “At least thirty billion dollars,” came his reply soon after.
Anthony‘s lips curled up slightly; he was impressed.
Thirty billion dollars? She had to be on Forbes‘ Rich List! This woman was nothing short of surprises, that was for sure.
Within an hour after the press conference, the headlines on Twitter were occupied with the following:
#Boss–Charmine
#Amelia–seduced–DiamondPrince
#Amelia–tried–to–kill–Charmine
#Charmine–owns–the–GrayDiamondEmpire
#Youtube–crashed
Charmine went from an unknown person to the most searched Diamond Boss; she who owned a mine with three billion tons of diamond!
