Teaching Everyone a lesson

★★★★ "Clove," Cindy rushed to Clover and grabbed her hand, pleading, "You are getting angry without any strong reason and taking such a big step. Sending us to jail will not just end the matter, but the insult that will follow will befall us. Think a little about our image in society." "Without any reason? Ever since I stepped into this house, you guys have been looking for every small reason to trash my image. Not only that, you even called the guards to throw my friend out," Clover said, jerking her hand away from Cindy. "Clover, we will be finished if your father goes to jail," Zona spat, her eyes clouded with tears. The arrogance was no longer striking on her face; rather, she felt fear, fear of being looked down on in society. Not only that, she was concerned about the treatment her daughter would get in the Hudson family after this scandal. "You should have thought it before coming after me," Clover said coldly. There was no trace of the timid woman she once was-only st

Meeting uncle

★★★★★ "They are going to come back for you with full force," Jemma said as she settled in the passenger seat. Then she looked behind at the back seat, adding, "Especially your stepmother. The humiliation she went through was like losing a prize in a competition, and she will not sit back and accept her defeat." "I did what the situation demanded, and I am not worrying about the consequences," Clover said, leaning on the seat and closing her eyes. "What about Hudson?" Jemma continued her chatter, since, other than guns, the thing she liked most was gossip. "Your sister's fiancé had not let go a moment of staring at you. If possible, he could gobble you up." "I did not know you had taken a liking to him," Clover said in response without opening her eyes. "Argh! No. He is not my type," Jemma spat, "Besides, he is into Hastings' daughters." A chuckle escaped from her lips. Clover could not help but open her eyes before rolling them. If Jemma were not an assassin, he would have made u

where did I go wrong?

★★★★★ "Miss Hastings, I hope you have not faced any hassle reaching here," Hardin said with a polite smile to Clover. "Being his assistant must be hard, no matter how well he paid!" Clover said, returning the smile. "Is that because I am in his house at this godly hour?" Hardin asked, not getting offended as the smile did not leave his lips. "No, seeing your boss's sincerity for the deal for which he chose to meet me instead of closing his eyes at this 'Godly' hour, I tried to feel your thoughts," Clover pressed on Godly. Standing behind her, Jemma looked down and smiled, but she did not let her voice crack. She believed the assistant was sensible and mature enough to understand what Clover actually meant. "Thank you for these kind words," Hardin replied, then moved to a side, showing off where Clover should head. If his boss were not impatient to meet Miss Hastings, he would probably enjoy another moment to talk to her. 'since a woman being this sarcastic is rare.' Hardin thoug

The conversation

★★★★"You were absent for so many years," Joshua raised one brow, and the coldness on his face deepened. "How did you suddenly decide to come back?"Clover relaxed her spine, parted her lips to answer, but her words were cut short by Joshua again, "I am not forcing you to answer, but I cannot let go of my curiosity to hear you speaking of the intention.""Since the divorce happened, I didn't find any reason to stay here," Clover replied, keeping her gaze on Joshua.Somewhere she had an idea that whenever Kayden's family met her, they would definitely bring up this topic, and it did not matter to her to say anything about it because she had divorced him."You must have got over the divorce, that is why you decided to return, or your heart suddenly started to throb for your parents," Joshua's tone left a mocking feeling for Clover, who would no longer feel like she could be polite with him anymore even though all she was doing was to respect him because he was an elder."I don't feel co

Late but not too late

★★★★ "Mom, it feels like I have wrapped up a war instead of my engagement party. I cannot imagine my day has been ruined like this right under my nose," Cindy cried, her hand balled into fists on her lap, eyes straight with blazing anger. "Forgive me, dear. Whatever happened at the party was because of me," Zona looked at her daughter with remorseful eyes, "If I had known that bitch would create such Chaos at your party, I would never have suggested your father invite her." She went forward to touch Cindy's head to calm her down. But before her fingers could graze Cindy's hair, Cindy jerked her head back, swatted the hand away as if it were poison. Zona froze, her face collapsed into raw disappointment. "Oh, you know it just as well as I do. Dad is not the one at fault here. Rather the entire disaster is the Masterpiece of your brilliant intelligence," Cindy said, turning her head at Zona with complete anger on her face. "You decided to invite her here to humiliate her. So th

My ex wife

★★★★★"What does he think of himself?" Clover muttered under her breath as she walked on the same path she had taken earlier to face the man she was nervous about, but now she was pissed that she had been on her best behaviour.Since she was lost cursing the man in her head, she did not notice a family figure heading her way. Her eyes were lowered, and her lips curled into bitter rage. As she was about to collide with the person, her phone rang, sharp and loud, which eventually brought her back to reality, and she saw Kayden stop right in front of her.Her expression turned cold, and she quickly stepped away from the middle of the path, moving slightly to the side. She tried to cross him without sharing a single word, but it was not the same thing Kayden had in his head.He said with a deep tone, "If you can stop your phone from ringing, we can have words."In response, Clover put her hand into her bag and brought out her phone, but instead of stopping the ringing, she took the call a

Hand me the jewellery

★★★★★"I... I don't understand!" Kayden moved uncomfortably in his chair."Did I speak a foreign language, or are you too far from me to hear what I said?" Joshua added as he turned completely around, his sharp eyes landing straight on Kayden, who felt a chill run down his spine."No..." Kayden shook his head, "I heard you clearly, but I don't understand why you have asked it since I don't have any reason to be jealous or angry." He was not truly close to Joshua, but admired his stance and intellect, which was the reason behind the soaring success of the Hudson industry."You are my uncle and I didn't want to smear your reputation or make you feel bad because of the people who used to be related to me," Kayden replied with a humble tone. He shifted a little to his side because he felt something poking him in the bottom."You are a good man, Kay. But sometimes the goodness shouldn't be the dark patch in a relationship that has just begun. About Clover Hastings," Joshua's furrow smoothe

My tone?

★★★★★ Clover stared at the number for a few seconds before picking up the call, "I cannot believe my eyes that you call me, especially after what I did in the house." "You can be ungrateful, but I cannot. I-I am your father if you have forgotten by any chance after staying away for a long time," the gruff voice spoke on the call. It sounded pissed than ever. "Hah!" A slight chukle left from Clover's mouth. "It's late, Dad. So tell me what sort of deal you are looking forward to offering." "Come home and stay with us. Since you are in the town, we will be ridiculed by society and various industries, and I am unable to hold my family together. No matter what happened tonight, we can still sort out our misunderstanding and start to live like a family." "I am impressed. Is this really you, or has your kind wife forced you to take some potion to humble you?" Clover mocked without holding back. "Clove... be care...f.." Before Clover's father could finish his warning, Clover jabbed her

A model

★★★★"You're acting like she's still your friend, and she will go along with whatever you tell her. I can't believe you're so casual about this! Don't tell me you're still in her touch!?" Mr Hudson said, raising his brows, the doubt was strong in his gaze."I don't know how you're thinking about all this, but let me tell you, it's nothing like that. I know her well enough, and I know she's angry, but she can't exert any power over us," Kayden said with confidence, as he held his chin high."If it is what you are saying, then I am not stepping into this matter, but if it is not, then I will take things into my hands.""Will you quit saying in a way..." Kayden pursed his lips before finishing."Which way?" His father raised his brows."That I am weak toward her. I have already walked miles away from that relationship. Therefore, it would be great if none of my family thinks that I go against them because of her."A deep frown appeared on Kayden's forehead.. "And let me clear this, I don

seeing the cold face

★★★★★ "Again?" Mark was doubtful, " After what they had done, you cannot just consider going back there?" A sharp concern reflected in his tone. "They must have something in their heads, which is why they want to see you again; otherwise, the humiliation you brought, no sane person would even think like them. If you ask me, then I would never suggest you head there," Mark said curtly. Clover smiled partly and left the chair. "I have never kept anything hidden from you, Mark. Therefore, I believe you know the reason why I fought so hard against the world to stand where I am right now." "Yes... and I completely respect that and I truly think no one can do what you did in such a small time. But you should take things slowly," Mark said, still not okay knowing Clover wanted to see her father. "Stop taking so much stress, Mark. I know how far they can go to hurt me because they are all the familiar people I have dealt with the majority of my life. Don't worry. Besides, I am popular now
