“Go ahead,” Yadanar replied casually.
“Well…actually, it’s nothing…”
She had been hiding a secret for a few decades. To suddenly bring it up, was a difficult task. The old woman stuttered hesitantly before she grabbed the items out of Yadanar’s hands and placed her face mask back on, covering her scarred skin.
“If there’s something you want to say, then say it!”
“Have you come in contact with the young man from earlier yet? Mom has something that she wants to say to him.”
“Errr, that annoying guy?” When Yadanar thought of Zephaniah, she thought of how he chased her through the streets. It was actually quite funny. The idiot had driven, so why did he chase her on foot? “I’ll give it a try.”
“Didn’t you want to be an actress before? How come you’re ignoring the rascal?” the old lady asked as she walked out of the bathroom.
“If I go to act, who would take care of you?”
This was the reason why Yadanar spent more time opening her stall than being a stunt double.
From as far back as she could remember, her mother had always been covered in burns. And these burns covered up to 60% of her body. When she was young and didn’t understand, the old lady had scared her before. But, slowly, she adjusted to it.
Apparently, her mother had been burnt before she even gave birth to her. And the person that had saved her, was Yadanar’s father. She wasn’t disgusted by the fact that her mother was disfigured, she instead took good care of her. That was until Yadanar went missing when she was 6-7 years old.
“I don’t need to be taken care of.”
Yadanar didn’t understand her mother’s motive, so she did not take the words to heart.
However, the next day, when she was about to go setup her fortune telling stall, she realized the old lady was nowhere to be seen.
Yadanar looked everywhere until she finally found a letter in the old lady’s bedroom, “Yadanar, go act. I’ve gone on a small trip. Don’t worry about me…”
“The rascal that was chasing you yesterday was not bad. I liked him as soon as I saw him because he has a pureness in his eyes. Go act for him, otherwise, you will regret it.”
“Also, I have taken all the money in the house with me…”
Yadanar boiled with anger as she looked at the letter. She immediately gave the old lady a phone call, but she had already turned off her phone.
Yadanar looked everywhere and went to all the places that the old lady often frequented, only to discover that she had truly been abandoned by her mother this time.
“She has completely cleaned out the house. There is not a dime remaining…”
…
The old lady had indeed left. But, she didn’t take the money to entertain herself, she took it overseas to see if she could possibly recover her previous appearance.
Of course, she wasn’t acting on impulse, nor was she doing it to look good. She was doing it because of Yadanar…and also for… Eric…
Especially after she saw what Wren had done. Had that woman gone crazy? How dare she treat Eric like that? How dare Wren treat her son like that?!
Previously, knowing that Eric had someone to care for him and that she had already formed a new family of her own, she did not want to break the peace bet**en the two families. But…Wren finally revealed her true colors. Seeing her bully Eric in such a way, how could she continue to endure?
He thought he was being betrayed by his own mother!
When she had heard of this from Zephaniah yesterday, she felt like her heart had been stabbed by a dagger.
No one knew what she went through with the fire all those years ago. All she knew was, over the years, even though she couldn’t stay by Eric’s side, she could still pay close attention to him and watch him grow strong, one step at a time.
When she found that he had gotten married and that he was about to become a father, she was so happy that she was rendered speechless.
Above all, she liked Emma. She liked that Emma treated her son sincerely. When it came to being calculative, as long as her attacks were directed to outsiders, she did not feel like Emma had gone overboard.
…
Although she didn’t know why her mother had left, Yadanar suddenly decided to accept the role offered by Zephaniah.
However, at this time, Zephaniah had already been notified by Director Ferdinand that a suitable actress had been found for the role. So, Zephaniah no longer needed to run around everyday.
Sometimes, things just happened to be so coincidental. Even though they no longer had any reason to cross paths, when passing by the studios, Zephaniah still found himself checking if the brat’s stall was around…
But, the stall wasn’t there.
Nor did Zephaniah see Yadanar. “Forget it,” Zephaniah told himself with a laugh. Since this interesting woman wasn’t destined to have further ties with him, he shouldn’t keep pushing it.
And, if she didn’t like being an actress, he shouldn’t force her.
…
Meanwhile, Father Roberts returned to New York at just the right time.
While the entire world was discussing the Roborts Family’s scandal, Father Roberts stepped out of the airport to see the entertainment news discussing Wren’s revelations and the scandals that resulted from it. Scandals that involved Eric, Emma, Kaleidoscope and the Miller Family.
Scandals!
As soon as Father Roberts stepped into his car, he gave Eric a phone call, “What’s up with the news?”
“Mom exposed information to the media,” Eric replied coldly.
“That’s what I want to ask you. Why did she do that? Did you guys provoke her?” Father Roberts asked in a caring manner towards his wife. This wife was exactly the reason why he had not taken over Kaleidoscope. He had decided long ago that he’d throw his life into biological research alongside his wife as a form of support. The way that Father Roberts protected his wife was shocking.
On the other side of the phone, Eric was silent. After quite some time, he explained calmly, “Mom was unhappy with my wife, so she released false information to satisfy her anger.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“I never expected you to believe me. But, this is the truth,” Eric’s voice turned a few degrees colder. Father Roberts realized Eric was no longer the son that would secretly hide his fear. He was now a ruler of an empire; the king of entertainment. So, when it came to having a powerful presence, he did not lose to his father.
“Fine. Even if this is the truth, can’t you be more responsible as a son?”
“Responsible?” Eric asked, “You take care of your wife and I’ll take care of mine, it’s only human.”
“Eric…”
“If you don’t have anything else you want to say, then I’m hanging up,” Eric replied straightforwardly, no longer wanting to talk to Father Roberts. “As a husband, you have upheld your responsibilities. But, what about as a father?”
“That…”
Eric did not wait for Father Roberts to respond before he hung up the phone and placed it to one side, almost like he had been talking to a complete stranger.
The family that was once thought to be harmonious, was actually free of conflict because of the balance bet**en the three people. But, now that Emma had been added to the mix and she refused to follow the rules of the family, Wren had been angered…
“According to Ms Wren, Emma is quite selfish in private. She is full of arrogance and doesn’t take others into consideration. She has also used Eric’s position on multiple occasions for her own benefit. Most surprising of all, due to her lifestyle in the past, it is said that Emma’s child may be born with a disability. From the time that she announced her comeback, this may be the worst case of doubt on her character. After all, this information came from her mother-in-law; Eric’s mother. It’s clear to see how bad their relationship must be…”
“That is f*cking nonsense!” Lisa was keeping Emma company at Hyatt Regency because she was worried that Emma would be in a bad mood. “I never thought that Boss would have such a stupid mother!”
“Lisa…”
“Am I wrong for stating the truth?” Lisa asked. “I really don’t understand the thought process of that woman. Even if she can’t accept you, she shouldn’t talk nonsense like this out in the open. Does she want to embarrass herself as well?”
Seeing Lisa filled with righteous indignation, Emma let out a laugh, “Every family has its own problems…”
“Man…even though I’ve seen plenty of internal fights within the entertainment industry, I’ve never experienced it in person. I always thought that family members should each sacrifice a little instead of allowing things to get so bad. But, now that I’ve finally come across it, I’ve realized that there are some people that are impossible to tolerate.”
