Warning: My Mommy Is A Savage! By Seeking A Peaceful

Chapter 493
Matcha cake. Again. When they were younger, Tiffany did not like matcha cake and would always give it to Charmine. As the
adopted daughter, she had no courage to turn it down, and so she forced herself to eat it every time. After a while, everyone
assumed she liked matcha cakes. Nobody truly knew what she liked. It was hilarious thinking back at it. “I never liked matcha
cake,” came Charmine’s simple reply.
Joey’s hands halted mid-air. She did not know whether to take it back or hand the matcha cake to her. She had always thought
that Charmine liked matcha cake, but she never did? So they never knew what Charmine actually liked?
After a while, Joey took back the cake and said, “It’s okay, we’ll buy you something you like next time. We’ll spend more time
understanding you better...”
“No need,” Charmine monotonously turned them down. “Charmine, we know you still hate us,” blurted Adam. “It turns out we’re
the ones who were in the wrong, mistreating you. Now that we learned the truth and know that you’re our actual daughter, we’ll
make up for it. We won’t hurt you like how we used to...” 1
Joey’s eyes reddened at that, gazing at Charmine with eyes filled with sincere emotions.” Charmine, I’m sorry... I’m so sorry.
We’ve treated you like you were adopted since you were just a young child, mistreated you in many instances, never listening to
what you said, and we never thought of truly understanding you.
“Recently, it got worse; we’ve done too many things that we shouldn’t have done to you. We’ve wronged you over and over
again...
“I dare not ask for your forgiveness, and I don’t think we deserve your forgiveness. The reason we came today is to ask if there’s
anything we can do to make you feel better. Yell at us, beat us-we’ll do anything to make you feel better!”
The eyes of both Adam and Joey reflected remorse and guilt.
Charmine looked at their worn-out faces and felt as though everything was meaningless. She had anticipated their remorseful
and pained expressions when she plotted to expose Tiffany, but seeing it happen made her feel as though it was nothing special.
Was it meaningful for them to tell her how sorry they were? Would that make up for all the wrongs they did to her when she was
just a child?
No. Absolutely not!

Some experiences would stick with her forever and affect her for life. She never, during the entire time she grew up till at this
moment, felt as if she had a family.
Still... Should she hate them? Should she?
Tiffany played them all like fiddles. In a way, they were her victims as well.
So... Forgive them? Could she forgive them? After what happened five years ago, the weak and powerless her back then
wanted to explain, and she even tried to. She said she was a victim, but Joey slapped her before she could even finish her
sentence.
Joey did not believe her, just like everyone else in the Jordan family. They said that Charmine brought shame to the family; they
did not listen to any of Charmine’s explanations.
Cold-heartedly, they sent the half-unconscious Charmine back then to Africa and let nature take care of her death. If it was not
for the many lucky coincidences she encountered, she would have died a long time ago. Throughout the five years, they never
called her as if they had never adopted her. Charmine did nothing wrong even as she returned to Burlington, yet whenever
something went wrong, they blamed it on her and despised her.
It was only yesterday when they disowned her and force-withdrew all of her family shares.
They even attacked her villa!
Charmine’s eyes dulled as she recalled everything. “Go back-don’t bother apologizing. I don’t need your apology, and I won’t do
anything to you either.”
