"Clara, don't try to turn the tables. You seem to have grown a lot of wings these past years."

"Mr. Walter, I have mentioned time after time that my mother's company had nothing to do with you. As for your company’s loss, I promise to sort things out sooner.”

“Mr. Walter? Clara, is this a way of addressing your father?”

“Ohhh, my bad! That sure isn't the address for my beloved father who has left me stranded in Europe,” I shot back sarcastically.

“Clara!!!”

“I’m standing right here, Mr. Walter. You don’t have to scream,”

“I’ve had enough of your sarcasm! You can’t be a simple sweet child like your elder sister—you…”

“Step-sister, you mean,”

Our conversation was interrupted by the broadcaster who had just mentioned the loss of business collaborations affecting the Gray Business Enterprise. In a fit of rage, my father smashed the television.

“CLARA!!!!!!!!!!!” he roared, looking furious.

“Dad, I promise to…”

"You better fix this immediately or else,I would smash it down just like I did to the TV!”

"Is this a threat?" I asked while raising a brow.

"You should go back to Europe; you and Mum have always been a headache."
