Chapter 46
Realization dawned on Julian as he asked i n
disbelief, “Charmine, are you the owner of Ohly?”
“Yes,” came her simple yet strong reply, the message
conveyed loud and clear.
Charmine removed her hat and her hair cascaded
down her shoulders. She flipped her hair and eyed
them uncaringly. ” What? Is there a problem?” i
Everyone stared in disbelief, eyes and mouths wide
open.
Charmine was the owner of Ohly? The big boss of
Ohly?
No wonder she looked at them with such ridicule,
even as they mocked her. No wonder she did not
flinch even after they barked at her. They were
mocking her for not being able to afford a diamond
ring when this entire shop belonged to her! Everyone
had a confused and dumbfounded look on their faces,
especially the quartet. An adopted daughter they so
despised and looked down on turned out to be the
owner of Ohly? How could she be better off than
them? 1
Tiffany clenched her fists as her heart thrummed
with jealousy.
Charmine stared at the myriad of expressions on
their faces and indifferently asked, “Do you still want
this ring?” 2
Want it? Did that not mean they had to buy it from
Charmine?
Tiffany felt as though a fly was stuck in her throat; it
felt so uncomfortable like she was dying.
Amelia never would have thought the person she
looked down on would be Ohly’s owner. Not just any
owner, too, but the owner of a brand she loved! 2
“No! If we knew this is your shop, we wouldn’t have
come in at all!” Amelia growled. “What are you so
proud of? You’re just a third-wheeler, using Prince
Simon’s diamonds. Aren’t you embarrassed in the
slightest?”
Joey’s face was flushed red with anger. ” Charmine,
I’m ordering you now, right now, to return the shop to
Prince Simon and Princess Verna. Don’t hoard things
that aren’t yours!” i
Charmine snorted at them with a mocking look. “And
who are you to me? What makes you think I’ll listen
to you? Also, what makes you so sure that these
diamonds aren’t mine?”
“Huh? Yours? You’re just an adopted daughter. With
what sorcery did you get these diamonds? Sleeping
with Diamond Prince and ruining his family, wasn’t it
all for money?” scoffed Amelia.
Face much angrier than before, Joey yelled in anger Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
and hatred, “Charmine, wake up! I’m your foster
mother! You must listen to me! Don’t forget that it was
me who picked you up and saved your life!”
Charmine merely scoffed at them as she walked
further inside the store, the box still at hand. She
brought out the rings in the box and placed them on
display. The 3 -carat red ruby was too beautiful! It
glowed brilliantly under the sunlight that peaked
through the store’s windows.
At the thought of all these rings belonging to
Charmine, Amelia almost burst with jealousy. She
walked forward and pulled at Charmine. “Charmine,
can’t you hear that Auntie is speaking to you? Don’t
you dare think for a second that these are yours! You
got them from shamelessly sleeping around! If you
still have dignity, you should return them to Prince
Simon!”
“Are you a fly? Buzz, buzz, buzz! If you’re not buying
then leave!” Charmine scowled impatiently, her voice
harsh yet clear. i
Amelia’s face contorted even more. ” You’re asking for
it! I’ll teach you a lesson today!” She pulled on
Charmine’s hair with one hand and lifted the other
hand i n an attempt to slap Charmine.
“Teach me a lesson? I’ll teach you how to hit
someone.” Charmine’s lips curled into an evil smirk
and raised her own. 1
Charmine caught Amelia’s hand flawlessly and pulled
it with force. 1
Crack!
Charmine’s powerful pull dislocated Amelia’s arm. It
hung there weakly, unable to exert any force! I
