Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Angelo glanced at the stack of documents in his arms, and whatever interest he had felt just a moment ago vanished instantly.

Suddenly, Sandy's voice rang out from outside the door, "Why are you still here, you old witch? My dad doesn't like you! Why are you still hanging around and not leaving?" James frowned slightly at the sound of Sandy's yelling.

Angelo, who had been sitting, perked up and said, "Looks like there's a quarrel. Should I go and play peacemaker?"

Seeing the mischievous glint in Angelo's eyes, James doubted his intentions. It seemed more like Angelo wanted to stir the pot rather than calm things down.

"Miss! Miss, you can't start a fight!"

As soon as James heard Sandy getting physical, he cracked the door open. There was Sandy, throwing out all of Bea's luggage-jewelry, expensive dresses, everything-making a huge mess. The maid nearby couldn't hold Sandy back at all.

Bea's face darkened as the chaos unfolded, and even Caelum had to step out of his bedroom.

Seeing the scene, Caelum's face turned stern. "Sandy! Don't be rude to our guest!"

"Dad! Why do you insist on letting this old lady stay in our house? I don't like her! I don't like her!" Sandy whined, throwing a tantrum.

Bea looked at her scattered belongings, and felt a surge of frustration. "Caelum, I think I've overstayed my welcome with the Pollard family. I'll pack my things and leave!"

She looked genuinely hurt, and Caelum, noticing this, stepped forward. "It's just the kid being immature. I'll make Sandy apologize. If you really want to go, I'll have someone pack your stuff and book your flight."

Though Caelum's words were meant to comfort, Bea's expression soured further. She hadn't expected Caelum to actually want her gone.

Thinking back to how Caelum had avoided spending any time alone with her lately, Bea felt even worse.

Had she been fooling herself all this time?

"Fine...I'll leave!" Bea said, holding back tears, and retreated to the guest room.

Watching her go, Caelum felt a headache coming on. He turned to Sandy and whispered, "You overdid it!"

Sandy retorted, "I wasn't acting, I meant every word!"

But at least they'd managed to drive away the old witch!

"Alright, alright, you did great!" Caelum said, trying to placate her "Later, I'll get you a new mansion. You can live there comfortably by yourself."

"I don't want a new mansion, Dad. I need people to help me find Vanessa."

Caelum frowned. "Vanessa? What happened to Vanessa?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

"Vanessa hasn't answered my calls since this morning. I think Sophie might have taken her!" Sandy said angrily. "She's my only close friend here. that horrible woman has touched Vanessa, I'll never forgive her!*

Caelum reassured her, "I've met

Sophie. She's not a bad kid. She wouldn't kidnap Vanessa. Don't worry, I'll send people to look for her worry

and let you know as soon as we find her"

"Then hurry, Dad! I'll be waiting at home for your good news."
