Warning: My Mommy is A Savage Chapter 51-55

 Chapter 51

Meanwhile, at the Bailey Mansion...

Anthony, Chris, and Nial gathered before their large

television, their eyes glued to the breaking news—the

conference—going on live.

"Get ready," commanded Anthony.

Alert and ready, Chris had a dark-colored remote

controller at hand. The remote was for his drone that

was tied with the strongest signal disruptor, and he

was ready to press on the button if anything against

Charmine was revealed during the press conference.

With a press of that button, the entire Hotel Kelsy—

including the people in the conference hall—would

have their signals interrupted thus disabling any livestream

of the conference. 2

(Hmph! So you all want to destroy Mommy's

reputation by spreading fake news? Fat chance!'

Nial, on the other hand, had a list of names in his

hand. The names listed were all the conference's

attendees, including the paparazzi, influencers, and

passersby. If anything concerning was revealed

during the press, the Bailey Corporation would step in

and silence the companies who employed them, all in

order to prohibit any news from getting out of the

hall. 1

(Hmph! Want to destroy my sister- in-law? Tough

luck!'

All of them had their eyes glued to the screen, eyes

wide open without blinking once.

However...

What appeared on the screen were not the receipts of

Charmine's spending. Instead, it was video footage

from the Walton Grand Hotel's Presidential Suite.

In that video, Prince Simon Gray stood by the door

with an obvious frown on his face. [You're not a

waitress!] he exclaimed.

[Please don't be alarmed, Prince Simon. I'm Charmine

Jordan's cousin, and I'm here to strike a deal with

you.] Amelia stood in front of him, clad in a sexy red

tube dress.

[I'll be hosting a press conference tomorrow, and I'm

hoping that Prince Simon could attend the

conference. You could tell the press that Charmine

had seduced you when you were drunk, and that she

kept on using that to cling onto you.]

[Why should I listen to you? Leave!] snapped Simon

Gray, angered by her suggestion.

Amelia merely looked at him with raised brows

before she suggestively added, [If you could expose

her, I'll do anything you want.] Amelia then pulled

down her tube dress slightly, which pushed up her

breasts alluringly.

Simon's look changed. [Really?] he prodded. [Do you

promise to do anything i f I help you out?]

[Of course, I'll do anything you want.] Amelia

sauntered toward him and ground herself against

him—his arm—as seductive as one could imagine.

Every single attendee had their eyes widened like

saucers.

"Oh my god! This is breaking news, alright! Amelia

seduced the prince into spreading rumors about

Charmine?!"

"Amelia called for justice and claimed to d o the right

thing?! So the supposed right thing she did was

seducing the prince!"

"She's so shameless...! Charmine grew up with her!

How could she do such a thing t o her?"

"What a b*tch, pretending to be a goody two shoes

when she's the one being audacious!" 1

Everyone in the hall shot up from their seats as they

pointed at Amelia in disdain. The paparazzi,

meanwhile, busied themselves with snapping photos

of the video on the screen and Amelia.

Amelia's face turned pale in shock. This was the

outcome she never anticipated. 1

Amelia reeled back in disbelief and confusion. 'Isn't

this supposed to be the part where Charmine's

ridiculed and slandered? Why me!?' She turned her

gaze toward Simon and gave him a death glare.

"Prince Simon, why did you do this? Why did you set

this up?!"

"Set this up? Set what up? Didn't you come and

seduce me? And made me say what isn't true? I'm

sorry, but I don't do such a thing."

With that, Simon turned to the audience and

continued, "I've never cheated on my wife. Moreover,

there's nothing in between Charmine and me; the

rumors are all made up by Amelia Jordan. She

wanted to use you all to destroy Charmine."

His words were clear and convincing, and every

attendee grew even more restless.

"I can't believe this! Did Amelia use paparazzi like us

as ammunition?!"

"She's far from the blunt and straightforward image

she tried to fool us with! She's an evil being!"

Chapter 52

"So did she photoshop that photo as well? Was this a

hoax?"

Some paparazzi scowled at Amelia while some threw

one question after another.

Hearing that, Amelia snapped back from her shock

and yelled, "I didn't photoshop the photo. It's real! The

reason I went to Prince Gray was to help him dissolve

the situation!

"There has to be something going on between Prince

Gray and Charmine. Otherwise, why would he help

her? He even gave her such a huge diamond ring!"

Since Amelia's reputation was ruined, she wanted to

drag Charmine down with her.

Just as she expected, the paparazzi directed their

questions at Simon.

"Prince Gray, what's your relationship with

Charmine? Why did you give her a diamond ring?"

"How did you get to know Charmine? Are you here

today to defend Charmine?"

Simon never lost his composure and remained coolheaded,

even after being questioned incessantly.

"Yes," he calmly spoke, "I'm here to defend Charmine,

and I'll tell you why! Charmine is my boss!"

What? Charmine?! She was his boss?! Was he

kidding?

Seeing that everyone stared at him in disbelief, he

reiterated clearly, " Charmine holds sixty percent of

Gray Diamond Empire's shares. She's the director

with the most power."

Wow!

So Charmine was Prince Gray's boss all this while?

She was Gray Diamond Empire's director?!

How could it be?

[Prince Gray, are you mistaken? Charmine is just an

adopted daughter. How could she be so rich?]

[Gray Diamond Empire belongs to your family for

many generations. About a hundred years ago, isn't

it? How could the director be someone outside the

family?]

[You're just making things up to cover for Charmine!]

Simon was bombarded with innumerable questions

on live-streaming platforms; n o one bought what he

had just said. There were so many comments that

most of the live- streaming influencers' phones had

crashed.

Even the Baileys were flabbergasted. They were wellequipped

to spring right into action, but the event

unfolded in such a direction that they never saw

coming.

First it was Amelia, publicly shamed due t o the video

footage. Now, Simon spoke out and claimed Charmine

was his boss?

Warily, Nial eyed Anthony. "Brother, how much of a

percentage do you think Simon is truthfully speaking

right now?"

Anthony stared at the screen, and he could not help

recalling that proud and arrogant face Charmine's.

Not long after, he replied firmly and surely, "A

hundred percent sure."

As expected, facing the questions and doubts, Simon

declared in an affirmative tone, "I, Prince Simon Gray,

never lied m y entire life. As a matter of fact, I do

have proof. Here's a photo taken five years ago,

during the dinner to celebrate Charmine for buying

Gray Diamond Empire's shares."

With a gesture from Simon, a number of photos

showed up on the screen: Gray Diamond Empire's

share distribution graph, a photo of Charmine in a

meeting with the rest of the board, and a full image of

Simon passing Charmine a diamond ring.

This was the true, full image of what Amelia found

earlier. In this photo, however, Simon was shown

standing at the front, passing a pigeon egg-sized

diamond ring to Charmine. Princess Verna stood

behind him and held a certificate of the shares. In

truth, they were standing in a line to pass the

diamond and the certificate to Charmine, but the

photo Amelia found only captured half of it.

Shocked, everyone had long forgotten to take photos

as they stared blankly at the screen.

It was true. Charmine was Gray Diamond Empire's

director. She was Diamond Prince Simon's boss!

Prince Simon, a handsome and rich prince, was

merely Charmine's staff!

This was unbelievable! What shocking news! 1

There was only one influencer with her phone still

streaming, but after the last photo was shown, her

last-phone-standing crashed like the many other

phones...

Chapter 53
Every single attendee was stunned at the turn of
events, and that included Amelia who reeled back in
shock.
How... How could this be?
Was Charmine not an adopted daughter? How did she
become Gray Diamond Empire's director?!
How?!
Amelia nearly threw herself against Simon in fury as
she made her way to him. She clutched at his sleeves
and desperately yelled, "I don't believe you! How
could she be the boss? How did she become your
director? This is all so fishy! Even if she didn't sleep
with you, she must've slept with your father, right?
Right, that must be it! Is she your step-mother? Did
your father give all of his shares to her?"
"That's enough! You slandered me, and now you want
to do that to my aging father, too?" Simon swatted her
hands away in disgust, and he stared her down with
his cold blue eyes. "How did Charmine become my
boss? Well, it's all because of you!
"Five years ago, when Charmine was sent to Africa,
you bribed her maid to bring her to a hill and push
her down from the top. Somehow, she stumbled
across a huge diamond mine at the bottom of the hill,
and there were at least three billion tons of
diamonds!"
"The owner of the mine was an alcoholic and had no
idea of how precious the mine was. Charmine
borrowed and collected five hundred thousand bucks,
and she bought this mine from the alcoholic. Do I still
have to tell you the details of what happened next?"
What happened next was that everyone had their
eyes on the mine Charmine had bought. Many people
made her handsome offers, but Charmine rejected
them all. At the same time, Gray Diamond Empire
was facing the crisis of their diamond mine running
out of diamond after over a hundred years of mining.
They were about to go bankrupt. Even if they wanted
to bid for this mine, they had no resource to, and all
they could do was to watch their Empire go
bankrupt.
Charmine was like an angel sent from heaven. She
was willing to help Gray Diamond Empire get back on
their feet on one condition: She wanted sixty percent
o f the company shares.
Choosing between bankruptcy or owning forty
percent of their own company shares, Gray Diamond
Empire chose the latter and signed the letter for
transfer of shares.
Amelia was uninterested in all these. All she could
hear in her mind was Simon's first few words:
`It's all because of you...' `All because of you...' `All
because of you...'
This sounded like a curse that echoed in her mind.
She could feel her head aching tremendously as she
was overwhelmed with hatred, rage, and jealousy
that could split her head into halves. i
She was the one who directed Charmine t o the
diamond mine, who led Charmine t o the peak of her
life! It was all because of her... 2
Argh!
Once she saw Amelia nearly losing consciousness on
the stage, Amelia's mother—Lily Granger—rushed
onto the stage with the security guards and carried
Amelia away as fast as possible.
With that, the press conference ended. 2
At the Bailey mansion, Anthony's eyes were still
fixated on the screen. "How much is Charmine's net
worth?" he calmly asked Nial.
Nial fired up a software program and began
calculating dexterously. "At least thirty billion
dollars," came his reply soon after.
Anthony's lips curled up slightly; he was impressed.
Thirty billion dollars? She had to be on Forbes' Rich
List! This woman was nothing short of surprises, that
was for sure. i
Within an hour after the press conference, the
headlines on Twitter were occupied with the
following:
#Boss-Charmine #Amelia- seduced -DiamondPrince
#Amelia-tried-to-kill-Charmine #Charmine- owns-the-
GrayDiamondEmpire
#Youtube-crashed
Charmine went from an unknown person to the mostsearched
Diamond Boss; she who owned a mine with
three billion tons of diamond!


Chapter 54
Many Twitter users tweeted as such:
[I'm wrong to have misjudged you. Please accept my
apology!]
[Boss Jordan, are you looking for a sister? I wanna be
your sisted]
[I can be your stepmom.]
[I don't have to be your relative. I'll carry your shoes
and follow you around. You don't have to pay me
either; just toss me some unwanted diamonds.]
Charmine languidly lied on her sofa, seemingly
unperturbed as she read the financial segment in the
newspaper. A big bottle of Coke was placed on the
coffee table in front of her, with a long straw
extended to her mouth.
"Everyone is flattering you on Twitter, hoping you'd
write a few words to them," Eric began. "Do you want
to post anything?"
"Twitter? Oh, right." Charmine took a long sip before
she picked up her phone and posted a tweet.
Out of curiosity, Eric clicked onto her page. In an
instant, his face stiffened. A line of words sat quietly
on Charmine's page:
[Julian Cabell, have you eaten sh*t yet?]
`Have you eaten sh*t yet...'
Instead of taking this opportunity to befriend her
supporters, she posted... this?! How badly did she
want Julian to eat sh*t anyway? Alas, Charmine was
just being Charmine; one should not count on her too
much. i
Eric changed the subject and said, " Jordan Senior
called in earlier, asking you to go home. What do you
think?"
"How could I say no to such an interesting drama?"
Charmine smirked.
At the Jordan Mansion, members of the family
gathered in the living room.
Senior Drake Jordan slammed his hands o n the table
and roared, "Amelia Jordan, how could you do such a
thing?!"
"As a part of the Jordan family, how shameless are
you to seduce Diamond Prince Simon? You bring
shame to me and the family. Do you know that
everyone in Burlington is laughing at us right now?"
"Grandpa, it's all Charmine's fault. She tricked me! If
she's Gray Diamond Empire's owner, why didn't she
tell me earlier and stopped me from hosting that
press conference?!" Amelia stood her ground as she
tried to reason with him.
"How dare you!" Drake was so furious that he
grabbed the teacup from the table and threw it at her
head. "Did you ask for her permission before
publishing the photo? You were the one who posted
the photo while, all the while, you tried to seduce the
Diamond Prince and blamed it all on her. You deserve
everything coming your way, even if she wants to kill
you!"
"Argh!" Amelia's forehead bled from the wound
caused by the impact of the smashed teacup against
her forehead.
She covered her wound with her hand and angrily
barked, "Grandpa, are you insane? Charmine is just
an adopted daughter, and I'm your actual
granddaughter! Why do you keep siding with her?"
"Me? Siding with her? You're not sorry for what you
did, are you?! " Drake seethed in rage as he called on
the butler, "Hobson, please enforce the family
punishment."
The Jordan family's family punishment was thirty
whippings. The whip had thorns on it, and upon
contact, the skin would be damaged and leave
permanent scars. i
Lily Granger—Amelia's mother—instantly rushed
toward Amelia and stood before her, shielding her as
she begged, "Dad, please calm down! Though
ignorant, Amelia is still young...! I'll teach her a
lesson. Tiffany, please help to speak for Amelia. Your
Grandpa really likes you. Do you want to see Amelia
getting whipped?"
Although Tiffany enjoyed her kind-hearted persona,
she knew how serious this was and did not want to
get involved.
Yet, Lily called out her name...
She had no choice but to step up. " Amelia, hurry up
and apologize to Grandpa. You did make a mistake
this time."
"I made a mistake? All of you think it's all my fault,
but do you realize how evil Charmine is? When we
bumped into her earlier today and told her about the
press conference, she didn't even explain to us nor
did she try to stop us. She's just evil and wants to ruin
my reputation! i
"Also, after so many years of raising her, she didn't
even tell us when she had the diamond mine. Instead
of giving it to the Jordan family, she kept it all to
herself without giving us a single penny! 3
"Why are you all defending a heartless and
ungrateful woman like her? She's just an adopted
child, and she's not worth your pity!" Amelia raged on
and on.
Though everyone else in the living room frowned a
little, they cared more about the diamond mine
profits compared to the rumors.
Since Charmine was an adopted child of the Jordan
family, the diamond mine should also belong to the
Jordan family, right?

Chapter 55
Although Lily was more of a soft-spoken woman, she
was very protective of Amelia. She continued to ask
for mercy o n her daughter's behalf as she said, "Dad,
I know Amelia made a huge mistake this time, but she
wasn't completely wrong. We've raised Charmine for
so many years, so don't we deserve something in
return? She found such a huge diamond mine. Even if
she doesn't want to give it back to us, she should at
least tell us about it, right?" i
"Exactly. She's ungrateful. It's like the old saying:
'When one drinks water, one must remember the
person who digs the well'. Charmine not only forgot
about the person who digs the well, but she even tried
to kill the person!" exclaimed Amelia's father, Felix
Jordan—the second master of the Jordan family.
Just like that, the room was instantly filled with
criticisms against Charmine.
Tiffany, not missing an opportunity to bring out her
kind-hearted persona, went forward and said, "This
isn't true! We can't blame Charmine for not telling us
since she never liked us, but she must've told
Grandpa.
"Grandpa had always treated her so well, and she had
always respected Grandpa. It wouldn't make sense for
her to hide this from Grandpa." As Tiffany spoke, she
poured some tea for Drake and asked gently,
"Grandpa, am I right? Speak for Charmine and tell us
that it's so." i
Drake's face stiffened. Speak up for Charmine? Speak
what?
It was a great deal, and she had never told him
anything. All these years, he was so concerned about
her living alone in Africa that he had been asking
Hobson to keep track of her. He was also worried that
they would bully her when she got back, s o no
matter how everyone pestered him into distributing
the fifteen percent shares, he saved it for Charmine.
Yet, Charmine...
Tiffany observed the change of his expression and
knew she hit the bullseye. A glint of satisfaction
passed through her eyes, but she stamped it down
and asked i n a concerned tone, "Hmm? Grandpa...
Charmine didn't even tell you at all?"
Before Drake could even reply, Joey snapped, "How
dare her! Although we had been quite strict on her all
these years, all of us can see how well Dad treated
her. How could she keep this from Dad? I can't
believe this!" i
"She's now a bird who can fly! Of course she'd fly
away as far as possible; she wouldn't want to share
her wealth or the diamond mine," sneered Felix. i
Encouraged by her family criticizing Charmine,
Amelia looked at Drake with a disappointed look.
"Grandpa, she doesn't even care for you. Why are you
still protecting her?"
"Although I'm immature, at least I'm your actual
granddaughter who has your genes and blood. All
these years, I've spent my savings buying you gifts.
"And Charmine? What has she done? Are you really
going to punish me for someone who doesn't even
treat you like family?"
Drake started recalling his memories of Amelia.
Although she was arrogant, she had always respected
him. On the other hand, Charmine...
In his old age, he no longer cared for materialism and
wealth as he looked only for display of filial affection
from his grandchildren. In the past five years, he had
heard nothing from Charmine. He had always treated
her—the adopted daughter—as his actual
granddaughter, but did she even see him as her
grandfather? i
"Who says I don't treat Grandpa like family?"
A loud and clear voice was heard coming from the
door, and everyone turned to see Charmine walking
in with her chin up. She was dressed in a high-waist
red dress that showed off her elegant long legs and
thin waist. She was stunning, just as she always had
been.
Tiffany began to wallow in jealousy. How could
Charmine be so beautiful? Tiffany would do anything
to destroy that flawless face and those long legs! i
Alas, she could only hold it in and slowly walked up
to her. "Charmine, you came at the right time. Please
explain to Grandpa. I believe you have your reasons
to cut ties with Grandpa and why you didn't tell him
about the diamond mine. Grandpa had always
favored you, so if you're to explain everything, he'd
forgive you." 3
Although she sounded like she was helping Charmine,
everyone in the house looked much angrier. Even
Drake looked a t Charmine with a disappointed and
heart -wrenching gaze.
Charmine positioned herself at the center of the
living room, facing the accusations and questioning
looks. She eyed everyone sharply before she glared at
both Tiffany and Amelia. "Are you two sure that I
haven't contacted Grandpa in the past five years?"
sneered Charmine.
Charmine's gaze was so sharp that it made Amelia
feel uneasy. There was guilt i n her eyes for a brief
while before she shrugged it off and lifted her chin.
"Are w e wrong to think so? Grandpa knows better
than anyone whether you contacted him or not!"
With that, Amelia ran to Drake and asked with an
angry look, "Grandpa, please tell us: Did Charmine
ever call you or buy you any gift in the past five
years? All the while, you were so worried about her
and never stopped sending her money. She's such an
ungrateful being!"
As expected, Drake's eyes darkened with
disappointment after listening to Amelia. He was
clearly disappointed at Charmine.
