Chapter 8 Her Hideout
After all that happened, Calista wanted to go to their grandparent’s place – could it be that Calista found out about her plans?
After letting everything out, Calista felt much better inside. Her personality had gone through a violent transformation, but she had not forgotten what the most important thing was.
“I forgot to turn on the security system carlier there are many valuable things in Grandpa and Grandma’s safe, I’m afraid someone might break in.”
Calista simply made up an excuse, but the mother and daughter pair in the car became anxious, because those things that her grandmother left to Calista were supposed to land in their hands and nobody else’s!
Yelena let anger overtake her worry and said, “What a careless child! Hank, hurry to the house now!”
Once they were on their way, everyone in the car did not continue the earlier quarrel and remained silent.
Quincy and her mother saw that Calista was behaving like a mad dog, biting anyone she talked to, and decided not to agitate her further the things that Grandma left behind were more important.

In the dead silence, Benedict couldn’t help but take a look at his wife seated next to him. In the dim lighting of the car, he suddenly felt that the tense expression on his wife’s face looked terrifying.
Had she really been a good stepmother?
All this time he thought everyone in the family got along well or was that all a
sham?
When he thought about what Callie had said and considered it carefully, he realized that hi ounger daughter had indeed said nothing but words to smear Callie’s reputation throughout the wife had joined in…he suddenly shuddered out of fear at this thought.
If Callie had not insisted on clearing up the whole misunderstanding, his family would be co disgraced.
It seemed that his elder daughter was not in the wrong, but said a lot of nasty things merely in a
anger.
As for himself.. it seemed like he was indeed biased.

It was still raining, but slowly getting lighter, and the air in the car became even heavier than before.
Quincy couldn’t help but lower the car windows a little, thinking to herself what she had to do to secure some benefits for herself. Her father was around too when he sees so many valuable things in the house that Grandma unfairly left to Calista alone, she would probably get one or two things, right?
Calista knew exactly what was in their hearts even without looking at them. She focused on listening to the rain beating on the windows and slowly calmed her heart. It had been such a long time since she last heard the sound of rain.

“Sir, we’ve arrived.”
Calista slowly opened her eyes when she heard Hank’s voice.
Quincy quickly interjected, “Callie, I know this place has a security alarm system all set up, but it’s not really safe out here. Why don’t you bring back Grandpa and Grandma’s things home instead?”
Yelena snorted loudly, and said with a sneer. “How can we be a family if you hide even small things like this? Not sure who you’re even hiding from!”
In the past. Benedict did not think much of Calista running to this house all the time, but after what happened earlier, he suddenly realized that his family was not living in harmony like he had imagined, and he hoped that Calista could stay at home more often and bond with the family.
So he said. “Your mother is right, bring the things home – it’s safe at home.”
Safe?
