"Once upon a time I happened to have a venture, flourishing, expanding in all directions, everything, like perfectly rich and wide," Cassandra paused to look at Crystal who was absorbing the information.
Crystal nodded.
"Back then I didn't have a good family or friends," Cassandra tried to make light of the events.
"And?" Crystal asked, relating to her situation.
"So like yours my business began to collapse at the hands of the vultures hovering around. These vultures are never from foreign land Crystal," Cassandra said, frowning, " So, Instead of focusing on people, I focused on expansion." She said, a glint forming in her eyes.
"However I was lucky to have good partners, who invested according to my will, but let's say my intent wasn't right," she exhaled a large sigh of relief, "and we collapsed, so much so, my empire was never established again."
