Sara ran her eyes around the room. Her mind travelled back to the little box she had seen Jianjun with. She remembered she had also seen him with the box a long time ago and he had also hidden it behind him when she suddenly barged inside his room.

What could possibly be in it?

"You'll join us to clean the house after work right?" Joreen pulled her back to reality with her question and so she nodded.

They were supposed to clean the house the previous day. But because of the incident with Changyu suddenly showing up in front of their house and collapsing, they could no longer go there.

"I'll quickly wrap up with Heya and meet you people"

"I'm so excited. We'll finally live well now." Joreen said happily before holding Sara's hand comfortingly.

"You must have suffered a lot" She said like a middle-aged woman comforting her child.

Sara smiled before shaking her head "Sorry for everything that has happened to you and dad. It's all my fault"

From the moment they were thrown out of the house, to losing the restaurant, to living with the Chu's uncomfortably and Joreen's end of session problem. Everything was obviously her fault and she felt bad about it.

"If we were to turn back the hand of time, I don't mind you doing whatever you did again, and more." Joreen smiled widely at her, revealing her two front teeth that were now grown halfway after losing them sometimes back.

A knock on the door stopped Sara from speaking further.

"Sis, can you help me with your laptop? I need to check my mail and my phone is having issues" Bilike asked.

"Oh sure" Sara took her laptop from the vanity table and handed it over to Bilike.

"She has some Bollywood movies in it" Joreen sent him a wink.

Sara looked between the both of them and asked with a raised brow "What is going on?"

Bilike laughed and waved his free hand in front of Sara. "Ignore her"

"He said he likes Bollywood movies because of the women."

Bilike blushed and smiled sheepishly "Of course, they are very pretty." He said before dashing out of the room.

Joreen looked at Sara before giggling. Sara could not help giggling back.

Time to get ready!

She went to take her bath hurriedly and also quickly ate breakfast with them.

Jianjun knew she was actually in a hurry to go over to Muchen's house before he left for work. He shook his head for his pitiful daughter who had fallen deeply.

When Sara was done, she promised to join them to clean their new apartment later, also told Mr Chu she would speak with him whenever she got back since she wasn't able to meet with him the previous night after Jinyong's bodyguards came to 'see' her.

She stretched until she heard her bones crack. She was actually feeling a bit sore all over, after fighting with the four men.

She had actually wanted to leave it at that and leave but when she crouched down to warn the man who had threatened her, the other two attacked her from behind.

The pain would have actually been worse but thankfully, because she had been exercising for the past weeks, it had helped a lot in minimizing any pain.

She knew this was the beginning of trouble.

The next time, Jinyoung was obviously going to send more men and it would be challenging for her.

She nodded her head to the idea of enrolling in a fighting class again just to be sure she was still on board.

From when she was very young, her father had enrolled her in different classes. He said he wanted her to learn how to fight since the world wasn't an easy place and he wanted her to be able to take care of herself when he wasn't there.

At first, she didn't like it. But later, she was open to the idea and grafually began to enjoy fighting.

Jianjun also specifically warned her to never fight outside no matter what happened except it was for self defense.

Yea! Self defense like when someone make you drop your ice cream after standing in the queue for a long time.

But no matter what happened, she never fought in school. Rather, she suppressed her emotions and after school, go over to her fighting class and take it out on her mates there during friendly matches.

"You're ready to leave now?" Jianjun asked when he saw she was now fully dressed in a sweater and Jean.

"Yes. I'll meet you all later" She replied with a smile. She was glad that at least, things were finally looking good between her and her father. Well, aside the incident last night when she had been angry about him using her Mr Li as a 'bargaining chip'.

"We haven't been able to start with the cooking classes. It's going to be three days a week. Since you're free on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. That would be fine right?" His tone didn't sound like he was really asking. It seemed he had made the decision already.

Sara's eyes widened. She thought he had forgotten!

"Most Saturdays I'm not usually around" Which was true since it depended on Muchen's itinerary. Whenever he was going to be free, the three of them worked out on Saturdays.

"It's not like you stay there for 24 hours. You only spend a couple of hours there. No running from this! And... I'll be enrolling you for an etiquette class."

**

Sara held her head with both hands as she left the house. Fearing that her head was going to explode because of everything she just heard.

She was 24! How was she supposed to start doing all of that now? Etiquette class? Seriously!

She mentally took note of everything she would be doing that day. After work out, she'll go to their apartment, privately meet with Cixi to ask her a few questions and think of a way to lay her hands on that little metallic box.

Her father was obviously up to something. Mr Park no longer took her calls and he had even declined meeting her saying her was 'busy'

'Smart move old man' Her father was one sly man. How impressive!

**

In the car, her phone beeped with a notification, checking to see it was a 'news update', she frowned

"Why do these annoying people keep sending me news notification everyday like I am interested?" She muttered angrily and bowed her head in apology when the elderly driver turned to look at her since she was sitting in the front seat where she preferred instead of staying at the back like she was a 'madam'

She was about to hit the 'clear all' icon when the content of the news caught her eyes.

'CEO CHANGYU CUTS TIES WITH FAMILY. CLICK HERE1 TO WATCH VIDEO'

Sara's eyes widened in surprise. She had never been a fan of seeing the news but she hurriedly clicked on it.

She was further surprised by the way Changyu was dressed when she got down from her car, and the haughty look she was giving to the reporters that had intercepted her in her ex-family's mansion gate.

Sara heard a string of questions from the reporters asking 'is it true this and that.... why did you do this and that.. Was this the reason you came to the country.' Blah blah. Sara wasn't bothered about their questions she was only curious to hear the woman speak and she actually did.

"They'll only be one person talking. And it's me" Changyu said coldly which silenced them all.

She had never agreed to an interview before. This was their biggest chance so they were all quiet and didn't want to miss any information.

"It is true" She said. She had asked her PA to make sure the news spread while she was in her ex-family's house.

She turned and looked intently at a reporter. "Do you understand?" She asked with her sharp gaze on him.

He bobbed his head up and down. Somehow terrified that she was looking at him that way.

"If you do, then get out of my way" She ordered.

It was then that he noticed he was actually a human barricade between her and her car's door. He quickly scurried out in fright.

Sara watched as a lady opened the door for her while she entered elegantly with a straight face.

A smile slowly crept into Sara's face as she fixed her eyes on the screen like she was looking at her idol 'Damn! She's badass!'
