Chapter 8 Her Hideout

After all that happened, Calista wanted to go to their grandparent's place - could it be that Calista found out about her plans?

After letting everything out, Calista felt much better inside. Her personality had gone through a violent transformation, but she had not forgotten what the most important thing was.

"I forgot to turn on the security system earlier - there are many valuable things in Grandpa and Grandma's safe, I'm afraid someone might break in."

Calista simply made up an excuse, but the mother and daughter pair in the car became anxious, because those things that her grandmother left to Calista were supposed to land in their hands and nobody else's!

Yelena let anger overtake her worry and said, "What a careless child! Hank, hurry to the house now!"

Once they were on their way, everyone in the car did not continue the earlier quarrel and remained silent.

Quincy and her mother saw that Calista was behaving like a mad dog, biting anyone she talked to, and decided not to agitate her further - the things that Grandma left behind were more important.

In the dead silence, Benedict couldn't help but take a look at his wife seated next to him. In the dim lighting of the car, he suddenly felt that the tense expression on his wife's face looked terrifying. Had she really been a good stepmother?

All this time he thought everyone in the family got along well - or was that all a sham?

When he thought about what Callie had said and considered it carefully, he realized that his younger daughter had indeed said nothing but words to smear Callie's reputation throughout the party, and his wife had joined in...he suddenly shuddered out of fear at this thought.

If Callie had not insisted on clearing up the whole misunderstanding, his family would be completely disgraced.

It seemed that his elder daughter was not in the wrong, but said a lot of nasty things merely in a fit of anger.
