Chapter 239
Everyone looked over at the direction pointed by the paparazzi, and they saw Charmine strutting along the red carpet in her red gown toward them. She had fixed her mess from earlier while her gown was dustless and spotless, seemingly perfect.
Her gown’s perfect off-shoulder design revealed her collar bones, and the tight cloth wrapped around her long and slim arms. The lower end of the sleeves flared up in a trumpet shape, and i t went as far as three meters long on the ground!
The long sleeves and gown were embroidered with a golden phoenix. The refined embroidery skill made the phoenix come to life, as if it could come out of the gown anytime and rise up into the sky.
The combination of red and gold was a bold statement; the golden lining glowed under the spotlight as it captivated everyone’s eyes instantly.
Tiffany clenched her fists tightly as she watched the woman on the television. Why was she there, without a single scratch on her? How could it have happened?
At the venue, Charmine attracted waves of compliments.
“Dear me! This is too gorgeous! What kind of otherworldly gown is this? Who designed it?”
“Charmine’s temperament matched the exquisiteness of such a gown: elegant and arrogant! I love it, I love it!”
“Can you all be more professional? Have you forgotten your job here?”
Someone snapped back as he fished out the lined microphone and started interviewing, “Ms. Jordan, what do you have to say about Julian and Tiffany’s betrayal?”
This question brought the rest of the reporters back to reality, and they started bombarding Charmine with questions similar to that:
“Do you have any comments about the scandal with Julian and Tiffany? Rumor has it that you and Julian were in love for almost twenty years. Is there a chance that you and Julian could get back together?”
“Tiffany had been plotting against you several times already. May I ask what kind of person she is behind the scenes? Was her nice-ness fake the entire time?”.
Charmine stood on the red carpet, sandwiched by reporters on her two sides. Facing the camera, she answered calmly, “Firstly, we’re never getting back. Secondly, although Tiffany made a mistake, she’s willing to change for the better. She’ll even live stream an apology tomorrow. Please stay tuned for that, and give her a chance to change for the better.”
Her words were seemingly perfect, without any trace of emotion. With that said, she refused further questions and walked into the venue. Her gown’s long tail glowed and glittered as she
walked, and for that moment, she seemed to be the queen of the world.
The paparazzi instantly took up their cameras and captured her gait, the sound of camera shutters and the flickering of flashes filling up the air.
Charmine stunned the world once more.
Meanwhile, in the ward…
Joey heaved a sigh of relief as she turned to Tiffany. “Tiffany, look, your sister really did speak highly of you. Do prepare for tomorrow’s live stream. As long as you apologize sincerely, I believe everyone will forgive you.”
Her hands under the blanket were clenched into tightened fists. Damn Charmine! How was this speaking highly of her? She did not say anything at all! All she said was to ask everyone to stay tuned for the live-stream! This was all a trap!
Damn it! How can Charmine be so pretentious? At this moment, Tiffany wanted nothing more than to launch at Charmine and maul her face!
Seeing that Tiffany did not speak, Joey asked, “Tiffany..? Tiffany, what’s wrong?”
“No… It’s nothing, I’m just too touched. I’ll prepare well. Please switch off the television, I’m quite tired…” replied Tiffany as she laid down and pulled the blanket over her face, faking her sleepiness.
Under the blanket, her face was filled with evil and hatred.
Joey was such a fool… She was fooled by Charmine! What a useless waste! The Jordan family members had proven to be unreliable, and she had to live-stream an apology all of a sudden? How could it be?
No. She had to come up with a plan. She could not satisfy Charmine’s every demand!
Meanwhile, another person as frustrated as Tiffany was Kelly.
After Kelly had gone back home, she washed herself with alcohol and bathed in the bathtub for half an hour. Even so, she could still feel the disgusting scent that came from her body. Most importantly, the wound on her back oozed fresh blood every now and then, and the continuous blood flow almost turned the water in the bathtub red entirely.
