JODI's P o V~~~~ I deliberately stopped myself to allow myself to take a deep breath. I was afraid that my emotion will took over my rationality so before anything could even blow out of proportion, I already tried to reign control over myself and stopped myself from speaking another word. As much as I wanted to give my stepmom a piece of my mind, I also did not want to end up hurting her with my words. nThe last thing I would like to happen was to allow my emotions to get the better half of me, because I knew well enough that there was high likely a chance that I would going to regret it after.  At this point, I was trying my very best not to show my real emotion with my face. I sported a straight face as I continued with our conversation. However, when I heard the other party's reply, I almost lost all my control. I froze on my seat as I was left clenching my hands int

MATHILDE's P o V ~~~~    At this point, it was already clear for my eyes to see that Jodi was not in my side. But regardless of her stand about this plan of mine, I am  pretty sure that I am still far more determined than she could ever be and I will going to make her changed her mind by hook or by crook! "Well, they say keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." In the meantime, I gave her  a vague answer first. But just like what I initially expected, my answer seemed that it was not enough yet to convince her. "Please mom, let us not lower ourselves and act dirty like this." My face could not help but sport a smug smile when I heard how she described my plan. Her audacity to call it dirty without her knowing that I already thought about this plan through and through. Truth be tol

MATHILDE's P o V~~~ "The choice is for you to make." I insinuated with a smirk because I was satisfied by how our conversation was going. From the current looks of it, it seemed that I achieved the effect that I wanted; because judging from Jodi's opinion, I could see the anxiety in her eyes, regardless of how hard she tried to hide it from me. Truth be told, it was not exactly part of my plan to ruin Shantal's name and risked implicating the Nordstorme clan in general, otherwise that would make me the mortal enemy of one of the infamous business tycoon Besides, my main goal was to get Shantal to agree merging my company to hers, so it only goes without saying that the last thing I wanted to happen was for the business to fall in the spiral of decline way before I could even benefit from it and make the most out of our business collaboration. Ironscrapes was on t

JODI's P o V~~~ It only goes without saying that I was disappointed with my stepmom beyond words could tell. For her to expect me to betray Shantal more than I already did was just too much for me to bear. I was no traitor and it was not like I gifted Shantal an Android Partner before with an intent to deceive her, in my mind. It was all just a coincidence and the series of bad choices led me to this fiasco and so I have no intention of repeating the same mistake. If only I could bring back time and change the past...sigh... But I know there was no way for me to change it now; there was no rewind button in life and the damage has been done and since that was the case, I could only hope for a time to come when my cousin could finally forgive me and let bygones be bygones. I spent the afternoon having the same conversation with my step

The first thing that Shantal did right after recovering was to make sure to set things into its rightful places and so she called the attention of her secretary as soon as she was capable of handling the matters by herself again. Just that morning of the same day, she finally got discharged from the hospital but only Butler John came to fetch her. At this point, Shantal was already back at the comfort of her house and was staying in her room most of the time to recuperate her health. Meanwhile, Ms. Smith went to see her lady boss as she was summoned by the other party to come and report to her house. But just as when the secretary was about to reach the entrance, she halted her steps and stood outside, right before the door. Before deciding to come in, she deliberately took a mouthful of air first and exhaled loudly, then she reached out to turn the knob and proceeded to open the door. Ms. Smith was welcome by the sight of grandeur that the
