Chapter 431 Chris escorted Charmine to sit in front of the table in the dining room. He spent the whole night cleaning up the table yesterday; he even washed the dishes and cleaned the house. Charmine was impressed at his work, though she still eyed her surroundings for her phone. Spotting her phone on the shelf, Charmine stood up to get it when Chris suddenly said,” Mommy! Stay there! I‘ll get it for you! With that, his little figure ran over and handed the phone to Charmine. Chris seemed rather cautious, anxious that any hurt would befall upon Charmine. Charmine reached out to ruffle his hair. “Oh, Momo, you‘re still a child! Let Mommy take care of you, okay?” “But the baby inside Mommy is younger than me, and a brother should take care of his sister. Just sit here, Mommy, and let me bring you breakfast!” With that, Chris ran into the kitchen. His actions stunned Charmine, but she did not want to upset him either. With that, she bit back her tongue and stayed silent.
Once Charmine unlocked her phone, she was greeted with numerous text messages she received during the night, including texts from William. [William: Good morning.)
[William: Goodnight.]
(William: Have you eaten?] Charmine hesitated for a while and did not reply. She clicked on the texts sent by Kay instead. [Kay: Bad news, Boss Jordan! Tiffany‘s gotten Senior Jordan‘s shares, and now she‘s working on a project to salvage her reputation!] (Kay: Boss Jordan, are you here? This is getting out of hand! Tiffany now has 60% of Jordan Group‘s shares with her! It‘s bad!) With a frown on her face, Charmine logged onto Twitter to see the hottest discussion: #
Tiffany‘s–Brave–Project Charmine spotted not a single tweet condemning Tiffany. Instead, everyone was commenting on how she helped this woman, provided help to that woman, donated to this woman, or helped other women regain their confidence. In fact, Tiffany even went to the extent of joining forces with officials to investigate drug–dealing and underground organizations. Her ruined reputation was instantly glorified! Charmine frowned. Without the Jordans, she would not have done all of that. These officials were Senior Jordan‘s comrades. Why would Senior Jordan let her have his 60–percent shares? Unsettled with the thought, Charmine called Senior Jordan.
“How are you, Grandpa? How‘s your health?” “I‘m fine, not too bad,” Senior Jordan sighed helplessly. Charmine asked caringly, “Grandpa, did something happen? You can tell me––I‘ll help you.” “Sigh… Don‘t ask. Almost everyone‘s been asking me why I did it since yesterday. I didn‘t have a choice. Just let it be, Charmine… I don‘t want you to be worried.” Senior Jordan sighed once more.
That served only to fuel Charmine‘s uneasiness as she firmly asserted, “Is there anything that I can‘t fix? If you don‘t tell me, I’ll waste my resources finding out what went down. Hearing that, Senior Jordan sighed. “Tiffany kidnapped Robert. Robert is now with her…”
Realization dawned on Charmine. That made sense. No wonder Senior Jordan had to give his shares to Tiffany and helped her to salvage her reputation. So, Tiffany had started to plot against the Jordan family! Still, Charmine saw it coming. As long as Tiffany was in action, it would be a good thing. She comforted, “Don‘t worry, Grandpa. Looking at her situation now, Robert is her only chip, so she‘s not going to act recklessly. I can guarantee that I‘ll be able to save Robert within three
days.”
“Really? Are you sure?” There was a hint of hope and relief in Senior Jordan‘s voice.
