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 carlier 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.
