Chapter 482
“Impossible! Tiffany couldn’t have written this! There must be a mistake or something… Go and investigate the matter. Investigate it!” “But… But I’ve already verified the writing, and this is indeed Tiffany’s writing. The paper even has Tiffany’s fingerprints…” explained the attorney. What else could they find if they went to check? Luckily, Rio walked in at the right time. “There’s no need to check-Charmine is indeed your actual daughter. Back then, Tiffany’s mother and Aunt Joey gave birth in the same hospital, but her mother was on the verge of death after birthing Tiffany. To set her up for a better life, that woman secretly swapped the babies and took the real heiress, Charmine away, leaving her inside a bin. That’s how Tiffany became the Jordans’ heiress. This is why you felt hurt when you saw the baby in the bin, and that’s why you treated the baby you picked up better than Tiffany.”
Joey felt as if she was struck by a lightning, her pupils dilated. It was true that her heart ached at the sight of little Charmine in the bin and favored her very much back then. Still… Was this the reason to believe that Charmine was her actual daughter?
That was ridiculous…
Everyone in the ward found that too shocking to be believable.
Charmine, Joey’s actual daughter, while Tiffany was swapped in to take up her place? That was a hard pill to ingest-it sounded more like an act from a drama! 1
Rio then handed them a DNA test result. “On the second day after you sent away Charmine five years ago, she asked me to get your hair strands to do a DNA test outside Burlington. Back then, she wanted to come home and call everyone, but all her calls were rejected.
“This DNA test result was done yesterday using Charmine and Robert’s blood. She had always wanted to show you all but didn’t have the chance to.”
Joey, Adam, Senior Jordan, and the rest looked over to read that the DNA test result showed that Charmine was, no doubt, the Jordan family’s actual heiress, as both Charmine and Robert had the same mother!
Although the first DNA test was done in a hospital outside Burlington, this Royal Hospital was owned by the Bailey corporation, however powerful Charmine was, she would not be able to bribe the people from the Bailey family… “So… So Charmine is my actual cousin?” blurted Amelia, still bewildered.
“This does make sense, though,” Felix chimed in. “Tiffany ran away with the money because she knew she isn’t part of the Jordan family, and so she wanted to take down the entire Jordan family.” 1
“Ha! It’s more than just that,” Rio laughed mockingly. “Tiffany found out the truth when she was eight. First, she manipulated both Robert and Charmine to become useless, having it in mind that she wanted every percentage of the family shares. Five years ago, during Charmine’s engagement ceremony, she overheard Tiffany’s conversation with Julian, and so they pushed Charmine down the stairs! Tiffany had been like a demon lurking in the dark ever
since she was eight, plotting against the entire Jordan family, yet every one of you treated her like the cream of the crop! Hilarious, isn’t it?” 1
His mocking voice resonated in the ward, and Joey’s body jolted vigorously. She fell to the floor and fainted due to the overwhelming stimulation that made her blood-pressure soar, resulting in her instant fainting.
Hastily, Adam carried her to an empty bed in the ward, and the scene became chaotic again.
Senior Jordan’s body jolted as he quickly urged Rio, “Hurry, go and find Charmine… Go find Charmine…!”
“It’s too late, Dad,” muttered Adam as though he was gut-punched, overwhelmed with remorse and regret.
