Chapter 47

Realization dawned on Julian as he asked in

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 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 in 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
