At the public interview.
Aria, kaida and Mr Marco Thayer were all seated on the stage with a news reporter and many people like aria said attended, it was a public event.
The news reporter started, " Hello ladies and gentlemen, today we have the Thayer family here, and as we all know the Thayer family has been in the news for a while now, especially with the thought about Ms Arias suicide and now Ms kaidas scandal, and am sure we all are curious about why Mr Thayer had been out of public view for seven years despite what's going on in his family, so today they are here to give a public speech and clarify everything to us, Mr Thayer would you start" the reporter said turning his attention to Marco Thayer.
" Well what's there to say, you all might not know but long before Arias supposed wedding I had been in a coma, so I can't be in the public eye or clarify anything, but now am back in full health and control, and am really ashamed of what my younger daughter kaida had done and she would be punished accordingly, yes most of the rumors are true not all".
" You can't really blame her because different people react differently in different situations. She felt neglected and not loved hence she did what she did to gain that love, but her ways are absolutely wrong as she had joined hands to harm her sister. That boy Thomas misled her, plus she is surrounded by negative people, but yes I can tell you all with certainty she didn't harm him. Today, I take back control of my company from kaida Thayer and strip her of all her rights in the Thayer family infact she would be sent to a remote country to repent and live there for the rest of her life" Mr Thayer said.
" So sorry to hear about your condition Mr Thayer, we had no news. Ms kaida would you like to tell tge public anything" the reporter asked.
No I don't, kaida thought in her head, but when she glanced in the crowd from a far corner, she saw the bright metal of gun and she knew well enough They won't hesitate to kill her on the spot if she didn't do as asked, anyways even if she told the media it's all a lie and Aria is planning to take revenge on her, no one would believe it because all evidence are against her.
She cleared her throat and began " I want to apologize to the general public for my actions, call it jealousy or childishness, I just thought that was all I could do. I have wronged my sister who had nothing but love towards me, and I did many things undercover, I won't like to air my dirty laundry to the world, but am truly ashamed of my deeds and I hope I would be forgiven. I would leave this country tomorrow and would never return again, I would go to atone for my deeds and lead a new life, thank you and once again sorry" kaida said and bowed her head.
" Well Ms kaida aren't you afraid of repercussions, it's said you reap what you sow, aren't you scared of it coming back to haunt you, anyways it's your life and I think we as the media have a limitation to what we should force you to say and what we need to know about you, Ms Aria what about you, would you like to say anything" the reporter turned to Aria.
" Well I think my father and sister have done almost all the talking. All I need to announce now is that Lena techs is going to take Thayer groups under it's wings. As you know, Lena techs and more isn't limited to technology, we have also recruited many other business under our wings and helped them prosper, that's what made us prosper and become the top one leading industry in the world, so as of next month, Thayer group would be a part of Lena techs. I think that's all, now if you would excuse us we need to go" Aria said about to stand up.
" Sorry Ms Aria, one last question plz, the media is wondering, what happened to Ms Helen Thayer and Mr Thomas woods, do you have any idea" the reporter asked.
Aria smiled a chilling smile and replied, " no I have no idea, they most be hiding away in shame because as you all know, kaida isn't the only criminal, and they all abandoned her to save their necks, so I hope there is no more questions about them cuz even if there is I have no answer to it" Aria said and this time the media let them go.
In the car kaida asked aria, " where exactly are you sending me".
" My dear that's not your problem now is it, just know that wherever am sending you, you won't be alone, now keep quiet and enjoy the ride. You can go shopping today and do whatever you want because tomorrow you are leaving" Aria said patting kaidas head.
" Aria my dear, I think it's high time we introduce Selena to the world don't you think, and all of us can live together in the Thayer house, am sure your mom would be happy then, truly happy that her daughter has served her justice" Mr Thayer said.
" Yes dad I plan on doing that, but first I need the Thayer house cleaned and renovated back to how it had always been when mom was alive, I don't like how it looks or feels now. And Selena prefers a smaller house that knits the family closer together, the bigger the house the bigger the distance in the family" Aria said.
" Well in that case after renovating the house, I think we would lock down some arias that aren't needed, and we would all stay closer together, we can even set rules like having meals together and all to keep the family united, my soul would be at ease if I can spend the last days of my life with my daughter and sweet granddaughter" Mr Thayer said with a smile.
" No prob dad, as you wish, you are the elder so you make the rules and we follow" Aria said smiling to her dad.
Kaida just looked on, this has always been what she hated, feeling like an outsider, and Aria has a daughter, she didn't even know that, is she married, but she could only keep all her questions to herself now.
