Chapter 481
Lily looked up to see Amelia throwing the meal box onto the floor before tugging her hair in fistfuls, agitated. “Argh! I can’t take it anymore! I don’t want to stay in this ward, and I don’t want to sleep on the chair! I don’t want to eat this disgusting meal—I want to have seafood and lobster!”
“Amelia, dear, please bear with us. Perhaps things will get better once we get to find Tiffany. The police are hunting her down all over the world now. Just bear with us for a while…” comforted Lily. 1
Amelia growled, “Bear with you? Till when? When will they find her? What if she spent all the money when they found her? I can’t do this anymore! I don’t want to live like this anymore!
You gotta think of something, Mom!”
Lily sighed deeply. Felix glared at Adam and Joey. “Look at the mess you both have caused. You two must think of ways to fix this. We can’t live on like this! Don’t you have another daughter? Isn’t that adopted daughter of yours loaded with money? Go and find her so she’d give us some cash. At least rent us a mansion to live in for now!” 1
Eating from her meal box in the corner without an appetite, Joey’s eyes lit up when she heard the suggestion. She turned to Adam. “Of course… Charmine! That adopted daughter caused us so much trouble! Who knows, she might’ve had something to do with Tiffany running away! “That has to be it… Tiffany isn’t that kind of person. There’s no way she’d do such a thing! It must’ve been Charmine! Do you think she forced Tiffany to give out everything and then secretly killed her…?”
Adam stiffened at that, his eyes darkening with worry.
Everyone in the room became just as tense.
Pam slapped her thigh as she shot up from her seat. “That’s right. Why didn’t we think of that? This is very likely! Tiffany is the heiress, and she has no reason to run away with the money, risking being put in jail! Argh! Could it be that Chamine arranged for someone to kill her? Could it…?”
The anxiety in the room became much heavier as Pam spoke.
Just as Senior Jordan was about to tell them off, however, the attorney rushed into the ward. “I found the truth… I found the truth!” “What? You found Tiffany?” Joey asked, sounding concerned. The attorney replied, “I didn’t find her, but I found some torn-out pieces of paper put into the bin. I’ve found an alarming discovery after putting them back together. Have a look…”
With that, he handed to Joey a piece of paper put together by smaller pieces of paper. Joey took it from him, and everyone else gathered around her to see the writing on the paper: (Why…why… Why am I not the Jordans’ actual daughter? Why do I have to live on thin ice?
This feeling of having and losing is so painful! Argh! I’m turning insane! What is it that you have, Charmine? Just because you’re the heiress of the Jordan family, you want to take my
attention and happiness with the family for twenty-three years? Why didn’t you die in Africa?!
Tiffany had written this in her mental breakdown. As she ran away in a hurry, she tore the paper into smaller pieces and threw them into the bin in fear someone might discover it. Who would have thought that the careful attorney would find it?
Joey’s hand who held onto the paper jolted vigorously as her eyes widened with disbelief.
Tiffany was not her actual daughter, and… Charmine was?
How could it be…?
She had raised and looked after Tiffany as she grew from infancy, while she picked up Charmine from a bin by the hospital… How could it be? The staggered Adam, who stood next to her, opened his mouth to speak in disbelief.
