Mimi walked out of the bathroom, wearing her white bathrobe. She went to take the phone that was buzzing for a while.
''Hello, Dindin, what's it?''
''Mimi, you haven't checked Fwitter and Onstagram last night, right?'' Dindin asked over the phone.
''No, why do you ask?''
''Well, I don't how to say this…'' Dindin hesitated over the phone.
''Just say it!'' Mimi said impatiently.
''Well, you should check it out yourself. Alice Jun threw a jab at your last night and the whole internet is on fire.'' Dindin spoke cautiously.
''What?'' Mimi hung up immediately and logged into her Fwitter account. When she saw the various comments on her section and the statement of Alice trending, she screamed loudly and threw the phone away.
''Alice Jun, I will kill you!!!''
At the hall, Mrs. Solace was having her legs massage when she heard the scream. She looked up the stairs and murmured. ''What is wrong with her?''
A while later, Mimi walked down the stairs already dressed. She kept dialling a number as she muttered angrily.
''Your phone is turned off. Good, I will still find you and show you your place, Alice Jun!'' Mimi was so furious.
''Mimi, where are you going?'' Solace asked when she saw Mimi hurrying to the door.
''Mom, I will talk to you later. I need to find that bitch first!'' Mimi said as she hurried out with her car keys swinging in her hands.
....
Glory City Hospital.
Private ward.
From the hallway, Alice's voice could be heard. She was laughing so loudly inside her ward as she watched a show that didn't look funny at all.
Niania looked at her face filled with tears and shook her head. The show was a documentary on animal's kingdom, so she was really confused about which part was funny to the point that Alice would shed tears as she laughed frantically.
''Alice, are you laughing because the documentary is funny or because of how Mimi Song will be feeling right now?'' Niania decided to ask.
''Both of them. The documentary is so funny but when I think of the expression on Mimi's face right now, I feel so satisfied with my life. The accomplishment, the satisfaction from that makes me so happy.'' Alice said and laughed again.
''She might be trying to reach your number. She will be so mad when she can't reach you.'' Niania looked at Alice and sighed, shaking her head.
''Yes, that's why I intentionally turned it off. Do you know the most painful and frustrating thing is in this world?'' Alice asked Niania with cocked brows.
''No!''
''Is trying to reach someone who is unreachable. Oh, the satisfaction alone drives the stress away. Niania, you can't even imagine the satisfaction it gives me each time I mess with that idiot'' Alice Jun smirked and They heard a knock on the door. They exchanged looks and Alice asked. ''Who could it be?''
''Let me find out.'' Niania went to the door and opened it, ''Come in!'' She said and stepped aside. A man in his twenties walked in with a file.
''Who is this?'' Alice asked as she looked at the man with a confused expression.
''Alice, this is the man I asked to investigate yesterday's incident, he is called Damien.'' Niania introduced the man.
''Really? What did you find?'' Alice asked the man.
''Your van was tampered with. I retrieved a black box camera from a nearby car. The evidence is in this file'' Damien said and handed over the file to Alice.
''Whose van was tempered?'' Natalie asked as she entered and closed the door.
Alice blinked and rubbed her eyes before asking. ''Big sis, is this you or am I dreaming?''
''Is really big sister!'' Niania answered Alice.
''I asked a question. Was your accident caused by someone?'' Natalie's gaze turned cold as she asked Alice once again.
''Yes, that is what he just said'' Alice said and Natalie snatched the file from Damien and asked.
''Tell me, who dared to do that to you? I will kill them all.'' Natalie said. Her sister was the only person that she wouldn't hesitate hurting someone over.
''Big sis, calm down. You can leave now.'' Alice said and turned to Damien.
''Alright!'' Damien nodded before leaving.
''I will leave you two to talk.'' Niania hurriedly followed Damien outside.
''Tell me. Who wants to hurt you?'' Natalie pulled the chair closer and sat down. Her eyes were filled with worry as she stared at Alice's neck.
''If I knew, do you think I will let it slide? Have you forgotten, I'm a vengeful person?'' Alice didn't want her sister to worry about her
''Why are you always causing trouble?'' Natalie sighed. When she heard Alice got into an accident, she was so frightened that she spared no time in rushing out to see her.
''Sorry. But, how did you know I was in the hospital?''
''I purposefully watched the script reading that aired last night but I didn't see you, then, I made some calls and found out you're here. Last night you uploaded some photos''
''Oh, right. Is that for me?'' Alice asked, pointing at the basket of fruits that Natalie had brought.
''Yes, is yours. How are you feeling? When will you be discharged?''
''I'm fine, don't worry. I will be discharged today''
''That is okay. You need to be careful. And as for this…'' referring to the envelope, 'I will keep it with me''
''No, you can't'' Alice snatched the file back saying, ''I will handle my problems myself. You don't need to concern yourself with that. Big sis, look at you. You can't even take care of yourself and you want to add me to the list?''
''But…"
''No buts, big sis, we haven't seen each other for two months now. Stay and chat with me for a while. I will start shooting soon and it will take at least three to five months before I can be free again. I've missed you so much'' Alice held Natalie's hands smiling.
OUTSIDE.
Niania stood guarding the door to prevent anyone from going in. She suddenly heard click clack click clack down the hallway and looked up. She saw Mimi walking towards her dressed in a mini short dress. Niania stood at the door protectively.
''Get out of my way, I know Alice is in there. I need to speak with her'' Mimi Song said furiously.
''Alice is sleeping after being on drips since last night. The doctor said she needed rest, so you can't see her.''
''She has the time to sleep? I don't, open the door for me or I don't mind breaking in.'' Mimi Song shouted at Niania.
INSIDE.
Natalie and Alice looked at the door when they heard the noise from outside and looked at each other.
''That is Mimi Song, right? What business do you have with her?'' Natalie asked Alice.
''Sis, now is not the time to talk about this. Hide behind the curtains first. I will deal with that silly and manner less girl first and tell you everything.''
''Okay!'' Natalie stood up and went to hide behind the window with the curtain separating them.
Alice looked at the door and spoke to Niania, ''let her in!''
Mimi stormed into the room and shouted at Alice, ''Alice Jun, I didn't know you were this shameless. Why did you post about me when I didn't even know you were in the hospital? Now, everybody thinks I have a hand in your accident.''
''Coming here to attack me just shows that you're guilty. Mimi, I have already requested for police investigation into the matter. If you're really innocent as you claim, then you don't need to be afraid.''
''What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I have a hand in your accident? Do you think I'm that bored to be targeting you?'' Mimi avoided Alice's gaze..
''Then, tell me. Why are you here? I didn't mention anybody's name in my post and it wasn't really related to the accident, if you are not the one who tried to harm me, then, what exactly are you doing here? Definitely not on a friendly visit because we are not friends.''
Mimi's eyes flickered and she seemed to have come back to her senses but it was too late for her. Alice was right. She didn't mention anyone's name concerning the accident, she had rushed over in anger without thinking it true. She looked at Alice. ''I… I...''
''Listen to me, Mimi Song. I am not some poor actress you can kick out of the entertainment industry. If I find out that this has anything to do with you, then, you can wait to hear from my lawyer.''
''These are groundless accusations. Don't you know who I am? I am Mimi Song, the daughter of Solace Song."
''You mean the stepdaughter of Solace Song? No matter what you do, you will always remain a stepdaughter. In short, a fake, never will you become a real one even if you fool yourself and the whole world.''
''Hey, shut up!!'' Mimi screamed at the top of her voice.
''Mimi Song, you made a very big mistake by coming here today''
''What?''
