"Don't tell me you'd let this animal into your school after everything she's done to my daughter?" Florence barked her usual barking as she spoke to the principal. She had appeared in school over her daughter's sudden injury in her face.
Claire returned home crying to her mother the pain Elsa had inflicted on her daughter. On hearing the name Elsa, her mood darkened. How was it possible the girl is back? The slave establishment had singlehandedly sold her to a faraway land where she'd never be able to return.
Unless........
Florence gritted her teeth. The little girl is as annoying as her parents, they just never die, no matter how hard she tries. It's very annoying and frustrating to keep killing a particular set of people over and over again. Elsa went to a slave establishment, but it seems she learned their vile attitude.
"That girl is dangerous, she should never stay in that school among other students." Florence declared. Her mother's action only got Claire chuckling. If Elsa thinks she can just appear from nowhere to take her stance, then she must be dreaming.
She would never let anyone take her spot. She's long suffered from humiliation in that schools and didn't want that life anymore. She wanted to be the most popular and feared in the school. "With all due respect Aunt, I did nothing to your child," Elsa stated for the woman next to her to almost hit her.
Florence almost hit her niece's cheek when she recalled who Elsa was. The little girl before her was not an ordinary person, she's Mrs. Black and should never be messed with. It annoyed Florence that she couldn't touch the girl even if she was right beside her.
"Oh shut up you silly thing, she barked at Elsa.
"Did you try finding out the reason for their fight and how it could be resolved?" The principal asked the woman before him.
"What are you talking about? I brought my child to school without any injury and she got back home with this on her face and you're telling me to find out the reason for their fight?" Florence raised her voice at the man, but he still maintained his calm composure.
The validity of her step-niece irritated her more than anything. She felt like just putting a bullet through her head and ending her existence once and for all. "I don't know what you want us to do about this Mrs. Willow."
"Well punish her for doing this to my daughter, give her suspension or better still expel her." Florence declared. "I'm afraid we can not do that ma'am". The principal stated earning a displeased look from Florence. How dare he say such? What's so special about Elsa that they cannot expel her?"
"What are you saying?" "We cannot possibly expel someone who's already done with school, or is the major sponsor of our school." He noticed the quizzical look on both the mother and daughter's faces that had him explaining further.
"Mrs. Black here owns half of our school, you can't possibly fire a boss from his office can you?" Even Elsa was shocked at his words, she owns half of Alora High? How was that even possible? She didn't recall buying any shares with this school.
Florence gritted her teeth, even more, she hated the girl, and hearing about her achievements was something she didn't want to hear about.
When Liam arrived at his wife's school he wasn't there to just sponsor their trip but to personally buy the biggest shares in the school. Alora was now one of the biggest schools in the country and the biggest in this city. Mr. Black is a rare gold that should be treasured and protected at all costs.
Real businessmen fight to do business with him, cause anything he touches suddenly turns gold. That's the kind of man Florence wanted for her daughter, but unfortunately, her niece got him first.
"Stop spitting crap, how can you say that? My daughter got hurt by this thing over here. I will not let you intimidate us with your words." "You should be happy Mr. Black isn't here himself to visit your daughter for almost harming his wife. From the footage we all saw on the school cam, Elsa here was only trying to defend herself, and in the process, your daughter got hurt." The principal stated.
Florence was appalled by the man's words, her daughter never told her about starting up a fight with Elsa. Claire only said she was attacked by the girl. Florence frowned, she just hoped her daughter has not brought her here to insult her.
"Are you now framing my daughter for something she didn't do?" "If you don't believe me ma'am you can check the footage out yourself." He whirled his laptop in her direction with a video playing on.
Florence frowned, it was clear Claire was the one who attacked Elsa who was headed back home alone. The principal watched her reaction and wondered what more she had to say now. It was clear her daughter was the one at fault. He pitied Florence, it wasn't her fault though, she did what any mother would do.
"I can't believe you'd lie to me," Florence spoke in dismay, she could not believe her daughter would bring such embarrassment to her. She looks like a fool before everyone and even her niece. "Mum I swear it's gang up, she did hit me, I... I don't know how everything chan..." The resounding slap from her mother reset her memory and Claire held her cheek in disbelief.
Claire bit her lower cheek as tears threaten to fall from her eyes. She planned to punish Elsa and make her disappear from school till prom was over. Claire was scared and insecure about being the prom queen, though it's always been her dream, Elsa cared less about it.
She's never cared about any of this stuff yet they keep coming to her naturally. It annoyed Claire that the girl doesn't need to drive for a thing, as good things always come to her. She was tired of always working hard to get things, she was tired of always being second place when it came to Elsa.
She wanted to get noticed without feeling like eliminating someone. She wanted to be in everyone's eyes and lips. She wants to be the most talked-about.
"Stupid child, I don't remember teaching you to be so treacherous, you just embarrassed your mother." She held Claire by the hair and dragged her pit of the room. "You just can't do things right, can you? You had a chance to teach that girl some lessons, but you instead let her best you and hurt you." Even Claire was flabbergasted by her mother's change of attitude.
"I'm so sorry mother." Claire quickly apologized. There's no way Liam would hurt a little girl if she hurts his wife. It'll only be the fight of two teenage girls. She has been blinded all this while, Claire is the perfect tool in destroying that niece of hers. Her little girl was growing just the way she wants her to be.
"I'm so sorry for the distress Elsa, I hope this will not cause more problems for us?" The last thing anyone wanted was Liam getting furious at them. "No, you don't have to worry about anything."
.
"This is what I've been meaning to tell you, sir, this woman here is Rafael's mother." Scorpion stated as he introduced the woman. The tedious look on his boss's face was enough evidence he cared less about the woman. It didn't care if Raf's mother was still alive and was right before him, unless......
"You should do something about the woman, Raf wanted your wife for himself while you were away." Liam gritted his teeth. He's wanted to know all that happened while he was away. But he wanted his little wife to say so herself.
.
Stepping into a restaurant after her long fight with her daughter was Florence with an envelope in her hands. Elsa's revenge was going to come when the time's right, but now she has to focus more on ruining Faith's family.
It irritated her how they portrayed to be the best family to everyone in the city. She has wished for her family to be just like theirs, but now she's aware of their secrets, Florence regrets her wishes. "What would you like to order ma'am?" The waiter walked up to her. Florence selected a few things from the menu before her as she awaited her guest.
I'm so sorry I'm late aunty." Bianca sat next to her, wondering why the woman asked her to meet here. Florence was finally happy with the girl, at least it was now certain that she wants nothing to do with Liam anymore. "Would you like to order something?" Florence gestured her hands for the waiters. "Yes, get me your best cocktail." She ordered and the man bowed before leaving.
"How's your marriage coming up? Have you been able to arrange everything?" Florence took a sip of her drink. "That has been canceled, Derek is not the kind of man I want to get married to. Truth be told, there's just no one like Liam." She blushed unable to see the glare thrown at her.
"That shouldn't be your major concern now my dear." "What are you talking about aunty?"
"What I mean is, you should focus more on finding who your real parents are," Florence stated.
