Greed

Kelly's POV

While watching Snow eating ice cream with Ana, I'm the phone. He called to ask if I'm okay and he told n jogging early in the morning.

"How about Phoebe? The issue might affect her too."

[Dad hired some bodyguards for her. She's fine. I'm more worried about Snow. She won't have the freedom to go out and roam around freely anymore.]

I took a deep breath and held onto the railing. "Yeah. I'm worried about her too."

A deafening silence reigns us. I don't know why I'm just standing there while listening to his breathing. Perhaps because the circumstances are pushing us away from each other. There's Klay and then this issue. I can just end this by telling the truth to the public, but I don't owe them the truth. This is my personal life. I have the right to keep this privately. I want my family to be private.

[How about you? Are you okay? You can do everything you want to end this mess.]

I bit my bottom lip. "This concerns both of us, Pierce. It's not only for me to decide."

My decision is up to you, Kelly. Whatever you think is good for Snow.]

After talking to Pierce, I called Attorney Lee again. I requested for mom's siblings to just come to the city since Attorney Lee said they're in the province, residing in the family's ancestral house. Attorney said he'll talk to them and possibly, if they agreed, they'd be here next week.

I used my time working from home so I can personally look after my daughter. I'm only going to the company whenever I have an important meeting. Pierce told me he won't visit for a while but he's calling everyday to ask about us.

When it was time for me and my mom's siblings to meet, I personally went to the hotel where they checked in. Attorney Lee called me when he got there and I came last.

My heart raced as I entered the hotel room. I saw four people inside. The two women looked very sophisticated and the two men looked very strict. They're already waiting for my arrival and how the two women scoffed didn't escape from my eyes. "Kelly, you're just in time."

The man wearing eyeglasses laughed sarcastically. "Just in time? She's late, Attorney. She's not the only one busy here.

I took a deep breath and slightly bowed my hair. "I'm sorry for being late."

"Why don't you apologize for making us come here too? You think so highly of yourself." The woman in a red dress said, rolling her eyes.
