The afternoon rays were causing her to feel sleepy. She decided to take a nap after the crew left.
When she had checked into the Phoenix Hotel at night, she was planning to look for clues on the incident.
Five years ago, her plan was to trap Tiffany in jail for poisoning them and have the cops deal with her. She believed that Tiffany would choose to tell the truth rather than lose all her standings and reputation. However, things did not go as well as she had expected. Veronica knocked Charmine’s socks off with her faithfulness toward Tiffany by taking responsibility for all her guilt. 3
‘It’s impossible for her to tell the truth just to save Veronica now.’ Charmine knew that the guy was the only one who could prove her innocence, but Tiffany must have hidden him somewhere. She needed to find the guy through her own methods! There must be someone who knew who the guy was in the hotel five years ago.
“Sister…” A soft-spoken voice echoed behind her while she was still trying to figure out what had happened five years ago. It was Tiffany in a white dress.
Charmine gave her the cold shoulder, but Tiffany still walked in her direction, sounding guilty, “It was my fault then. I must have either been mad or utterly depraved and wicked. I a m here to apologize to you. Look, I’ve gotten you your childhood favorite-matcha cake.” 1
Tiffany’s words struck a chord deep within her as a sudden chill shot down her spine. Charmine immediately went ballistic because her favorite cake had always been strawberry cake.
When they were kids, they always had two types of cakes for their birthday and one would be matcha- flavored.
It was made with finely ground powder of specially grown and processed premium green tea leaves. The matcha cake would cost a few hundred thousand bucks.
Being a wolf in sheep’s clothing, Tiffany would always share the cake with Charmine so that everyone would praise her for her kindness. Since that was the case, if Charmine was to reject her offering of kindness, she would have been blamed for her ungratefulness. She knew she was the adopted daughter and did not have a say in anything. She could only make peace with i t, which was why everyone thought she loved matcha cake as a child.
She had never been allowed to make her stance since young, and all of that had been caused by Tiffany! 1
“You’re making your amends with this matcha cake?” She stared at her coldly.
“This is from Yukkuri. They’re well-known for their matcha cake. Please, have a taste…” said Tiffany pretentiously.
Charmine cackled loudly as she mocked her sarcastically, “Oh c’mon, Tiffany. You’re apologizing with just matcha cake? Does that mean you’re only worth the price of a matcha cake?”
Tiffany was startled. She had never expected Charmine to turn her kindness into garbage. She felt like biting Charmine’s head off but for the sake of her scheme, she resigned herself and murmured in a voice that was full of grievance yet sounded sincere, subtly glancing at Ronnie who was hiding behind them.
“I’m sorry, my dear sister. I just want to sincerely apologize to you. It’s not the price that matters. I hope that you can accept my sincere apologies. You should be worn out. Here, try it.” While handing the cake out, Tiffany tried to splash the pollen in her hand onto Charmine.
