Chapter 494
“That makes us feel worse, Charmine…” Joey grabbed Charmine’s wrist.
Charmine looked at her hand sternly.
Feeling her cold gaze, Joey instantly loosened her hold on Charmine and retreated her hand. Her eyes reddened as she lowered her head and hoarsely begged, “I know it’s impossible to make you forgive us in a short time. We’ll make up to you slowly, and we’ll visit you whenever we have time.
“However, we wish to ask a favor from you: please do it for your Grandpa. He really misses you and wants to see you. He hopes that we can have a meal as a family…” Joey paused as if she was afraid that Charmine would turn her down. She looked up at Charmine. “Don’t worry, Charmine. Although we no longer have any money, I’ve pawned all of my accessories. We won’t ask you to eat with us in the hospital, and we won’t make you eat poorly. I can pay for whatever you want to eat. “Please come back for one meal, will you?”
Joey looked at Charmine with a heartfelt gaze, feeling uncertain. Looking at Charmine’s reactions and her attitude toward them, it was likely for her to turn them down. Still, Joey would try her chances, even if there was only a hint of hope left. She was ready to hear Charmine’s rejection when all of a sudden… “I’ll go back with you all. Also, I’ll save the Jordan family and try my best to save Robert’s life,” proclaimed Charmine out of the blue.
Joey and Adam stared at her, wide-eyed. Did they hear her wrongly? Charmine was willing to go back with them?
It surprised them, also, how Charmine brought up about saving the Jordans and even helping Robert when both Adam and Joey did not mention a word about it. “This isn’t because I’ve forgiven you two,” Charmine reiterated, “but it’s merely for Grandpa and the Jordan family.”
When the Jordan family was at its worst time, even when everyone looked down on Charmine, Senior Jordan still insisted on giving her 15 percent of the family shares, treating her like his other grandchildren. Due to that, Charmine would not leave Senior Jordan to face this all by himself.
Joey nodded hastily. “I know, I know. This is enough for us. It truly is! We’re really pleased that you’re willing to save the Jordan family now. Don’t worry-we won’t let you do this for nothing. Before we came, your Grandpa had already said that if you’re really willing to save the Jordan family, the entire family will belong to you. Your great-grandfather also said that he’d give you half of the Hahn family’s assets!” Charmine frowned. She expected Senior Jordan to do this but did not expect the Hahn family to give her their assets as well. She did not know much about the Hahn family. Since she was only an ‘adopted daughter, Joey never brought Charmine along with her when she went home.
Charmine’s only impression of the Hahn family was through others’ praises of Tiffany: “I’m so envious! Tiffany is so lucky. She’s not only the heiress of the Jordan family, but her mother came from a renowned family as well!” “I know, right? The No. 1 Ceramic family in the country! They were listed as a national heritage!” “I heard that the ceramics made by the Hahn family could only be purchased by the royal families. Ordinary people like us won’t even be able to see it.”
“Argh! I want to come from such a family as well! i’d smile in my dream!”
Recalling these, Charmine was even more perplexed. A strong and powerful family like this was willing to give her half of their assets? After a moment of hesitation, Charmine asserted, “I’ll take all of the Jordan shares, but I won’t accept the Hahn family’s assets.” Joey frowned. It was such a generous offer, and yet she turned it down?
