Isabella was so frustrated with her daughter's behavior, she dragged the child out of her senior's company building.
They had a simple meal on the way before heading back to Helena's apartment to have some rest.

Romano family House
Edward Romano sat at the head of the table with his son George and wife on either side of the table. His honored guest Margaret Dubious sat next to Mrs. Romano.
The table filled with lavish french cuisines and their glasses filled with white wine.
The atmosphere looked so tense with the four people at the table waiting with anticipation.
A piece of melodious music from a mobile disturbed the sound of moving forks and plates.
The mobile owner turned on the speaker mode before saying "Hello...." in a calm voice.
"Mom... I'm back in France and the deal was finalized. We can soon start working on the new contest" a pleasant female voice sounded from the other side.
"That's great, dear" Margaret said with a beaming face while clapping her hands.
Just then a male voice ringed in the dining room "Clara, You did a great job"
"No... George. What I did was nothing. It's all you who did the tough job. I heard from mom that you found her and got those lands. All thanks to you, we can now expand to Asia" the lady from the other side said in a calm and pleasing tone.
" Well.. that's, nothing " George said with a faint smile creeping on his face.
The call ended after a few minutes of chat between the mother-daughter pair.
"Mr.Romano, Now that everything's settled what about the thing I asked before?" Margaret said looking at Edward.
" I don't have any objections as long as my son agrees to your proposal, Madam " Edward said with a smile on his face while gazing at Margaret.
"Dad... what do you mean by the proposal?" George didn't understand the deal between these two elderly people.
"George...it's about time for you to hold Clara's hands. We are really hoping for such day to come soon" Mrs.Romano spoke for the first time since the start.
"What?!! Me marrying Clara?" George stood stupified.
"Son....think about it. I don't find anything wrong in this and it's all for your good future" Edward Romano tried to persuade his son.
"No way... This marriage thing between me and Clara will never happen" George said clearly clarifying everyone's doubts.
"George...I know you never liked my daughter...but what do you want to do with the child she had with you?" Margaret said in a sad tone and with teary eyes.
"What?!" the three people from the Romano family were baffled.

"Father, we found information about our Princess, Pari " the grey robbed man said.
"Really... where's she now?" an elderly man dressed in a red robe asked with anticipation.
"That... She's now in France but...but" the man stuttered.
"What but..." the elderly man fumed.
"But she's with a child of a stranger" the grey robbed man said with shivering legs.
"What?!! Are you telling me the truth?" the elderly man looked confused.
"Yes, father. Taru told me that our men saw her with a little girl"
"This can't be...Sadhu...(1), Go and find to whom the child belongs. We can't spoil the line that guards our empire"
'Shit..only if that little b*tch hadn't escaped from me five years ago..' the elderly man inwardly cursed the woman.
"But..father, do you think that woman's really our Princess?" the man named Sadhu asked his father.
"I already told you not to doubt the fate written by the almighty. And you repeat the same thing again and again. Don't bother thinking too much about what you don't know. Just do what I said" the elderly man urged his son.
"But father..she already made a mistake by crossing the lines. How can she be our Princess? You old people are just being so naive to believe those foolish scripts" Sadhu said in a frustrated voice.
"Sadhu... Mind your tongue. Don't ever make such unpleasant comments about those legendary scripts. You don't know about the past because you're just a child back then. But never underestimate the power those scripts hold. Just mind your own business and don't butt into other issues. Also don't say anything to your grandfather about the princess... he'll feel bad knowing about her condition" the elderly man roared before walking back to his chamber.
Sadhu was so disappointed with his father, he really wished to find a way to go meet his long-gone Aunt and ask her to give him an answer about those damn scripts she wrote.
He simply walked out of the place and towards his little garden filled with flower plants and butterflies.
He looked up to the sky and took a deep breath and said in an annoyed tone gazing at the bright stars "Princess Pari(2)...You wrote some nonsense that I'm not allowed to know or talk about. But now I'm forced to keep looking after your reincarnated form who gave birth to a stranger's child out of nowhere. Is this the Justice you give to your family member?"
