Jinyong couldn't get enough of hitting his useless bodyguards out of frustration.

"Just a girl.. Just a tiny little girl." He used two fingers to show a small size.

"You expect me to believe she did this to you?" He pointed at the four bodyguards who were kneeling in front of him and said accusingly.

"You fought amongst yourself instead of doing what you were asked to do. What? She beat you people up?" He scoffed.

The four of them were bruised all over. The other two who had been watching Sara fight hadn't wanted to do anything. But they felt it was better to try their lucks and grab the girl for their boss.

Who would have thought they would also suffer the same fate like the first two?

No matter how much they tried to make Jinyoung believe Sara had actually beat them up, he got angrier and hit them the more in anger.

Same way he felt towards the other group of bodyguards he had sent to get rid of Weiyoung. He was told that his uncle's people safely escorted her to his family's mansion.

He had even received a call from home to show up there that morning. Things were not looking good for him at all.

He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath, trying to calm down.

He wondered what crazy thing his uncle was planning this time with that witch.

No matter what, he was never going to just go down!

He was going to get rid of Weiyoung, have Sara beside him and take down his Uncle for all the humiliation he had caused him.

He needed Aida by his side at a time like this.

The teenage Changyu continued pretending to be unconscious as she heard her parents converse beside her bed.

"It's those people's fault. Now, we're at a loss. A really big loss" Elder Song spoke angrily to Madam Song.

With tears in her mother's eyes, she held Changyu's hand that was free of the IV cannula.

"I cannot believe this. Why my daughter?"

Changyu held herself back from crying. She was able to deduce from her parents conversation that the doctor had informed them about the complications with her pregnancy. They would have to transfer her to a hospital (instead of the house where she had been locked up) so she would be operated on in other to deliver safely.

Aside from that, the doctor had told them that she was likely not going to be able to conceive in the future after the operation.

"Why didn't you just listen to us? Why didn't you just go on the blind date? Now, what do we do? People are beginning to say things"

Her mother sobbed gently. Burying her face on the bed.

"This is your fault! You should have just allowed her get rid of the baby at that time" Elder Song blamed her.

She shot her head up to look at him in disbelieve. "Didn't you hear what the doctor said at that time? Her life would be at risk. Do you want to lose your daughter?"

"Isn't it the same thing now? She won't even be able to conceive in the future. She is as good as useless!"

He stomped his feet on the ground angrily before leaving the room in annoyance.

Changyu threw a large envelop on the table nonchalantly and crossed a leg on top of the other, sitting down like the boss she was.

"What...what is this?" Her mother threw her a look of confusion before lifting the envelop from the table to check its contents.

When her eyes scanned through the document she took out of the envelop, she gasped and raised her head to look at Changyu in shock.

"What.. Is the meaning.. of this?" Madam Song asked in complete shock.

Elder Song took the document when he saw her reaction and went through it also. His eyes also bulged out and he raised his head to look at her.

"It is as it is" She said coldly. "I am cutting ties with all of you" She announced.

"What!?" Her younger sister, Song Ling looked at her in shock before grabbing the document from her father. "Sister Changyu...what...do you mean by that?"

Her husband, Yang Xie and daughter, Yang Aishu were also bewildered by the sudden news. They all shifted on the seats uncomfortably.

Yang Xie had never met Changyu. Or maybe, he had met her once many years back during an occasion were the children of tycoons came with their parents. And at that time, he was really young since Changyu was about two years older than him. Even during his wedding with Song Ling many years later, Changyu didn't attend it. Seeing her now, he felt she was a really difficult woman. But he knew the influence she had on the Song family and his.

"You would have been informed through the media. But for old times sake, I'm giving you the last respect as the people who brought me into this world. Everything that connects me with this family, the paper work are all in there. The contract of transfer of my shares in your miserable company are also in there. I'm giving it all back" She said with glazed eyes. "I'm giving back what belongs to you and taking back what belongs to me."

"Changyu.." Her mother's eyes began to water. "Why are you doing this to us?"

"Why?" Changyu smirked. "You deserve worse actually."

"Shut it!" Her father roared, angrily hitting his walking stick on the tiled floor. "You ungrateful wench! Everything we did was for you. To make your life meaningful! But you dare pay us back this —?" He was interrupted by Changyu's sudden laugh.

"For me? You ruined a family. A perfect happy family. You ruined them all! You framed them and sent his father to jail." She tried to control her emotions. She had never been really good at doing so since she was a very soft person.

"I told you. My people can find out anything for me. I gave you a chance, an opportunity to tell me what you did. But what did you do? You also lied to me. You lied to me!" She yelled and stood up abruptly. "How many lies have you told me since I was born?"

Her sister also stood up with her and went to hold her hand "Sister Changyu. What is going on? What are you all talking about?"

"You...you all should go out now" Madam Song said to Ling's family. "We'll explain later"

Changyu pulled her hand out of her sister's. "No! They won't go anywhere. I called them here. They have to be here since they're a part of this family"

Elder Song blinked a couple of times and threw his face to the corner. He had always been a man full of pride and arrogance. He cared about his family's name and title more than anything else.

Because of his will to keep his family's name at the top, he had done a lot of unimaginable things. What was so wrong about removing an obstacle so their path to success would be smooth?

"I hate you all. I hate all of you. You ruined my life because of your greed."

"You ruined your own life the moment you got pregnant for that bastard!" Her father stood up and angrily yelled at her. "Your life would have been perfect if you had listened to us!"

Everyone was startled by his sudden outburst. Aishu who had been quiet used her hands to cover her agape mouth. Yang Xie also looked on wide-eyed.

Ling was stupefied. She looked at her father in shock "W...hat? Are you talking about father?" She then looked at her sister. "You...you..were pregnant?"

Changyu began to laugh. A dry humourless laugh. "Yes. I was" She forced a smile as she answered.

At that time, Ling had been in a art school in Paris. Her sister had always wanted to study art and own a studio gallery and it had been a dream come true for her.

A phone's notification beep lightened the tensed atmosphere.

Changyu looked at her phone when she received a notification and raised a corner of her mouth.

"I am going to show you something interesting." She said to all of them with a sly smile plastered on her face.
