Chapter 25: Who Is The Meanie


    To Amora''s surprise, Sharon shrugged her off nonchntly.


    The words formed a lump in the former''s throat as she stood rooted on the spot.


    Truth be told, Amora had held her aunt in awe since she was young.


    Coming from different backgrounds meant they had little inmon.


    After Amora turned into an adult, the Rory family had brought upon their misfortune on Sharon.


    Out of a guilty conscience, she never dared to look her aunt in the eyes.


    In the end, Amora took her children and left for their rental apartment.


    While they were alone in the courtyard, Jackson asked, "Sharon, are you still ming Amora for what


    happened in the past? She was just an innocent girl back then."


    "Xenia will be back soon.Do you think we''ll get to spend our days peacefully if Amora''s children stay


    with us?"


    Sharon asked callously and left her wheelchair-bound husband behind.


    Xenia was Amora''s younger cousin.


    She used to hold a grudge against thetter.


    Shortly after their departure, Amora brought her children to the apartment she had leased beforehand.


    It was situated in Old Town, but there was a preschool that was nearby.


    "Vivi, Matt, I have enrolled both of you in a nearby preschool.I''ll bring you there tomorrow, okay?"


    Amora announced the n she had for her children.


    "Mommy, are we going to attend preschool in this city? Does that mean we''re not going back


    anymore?"


    Vivian stared at her mother, open-mouthed, and expressed her disbelief.


    The little girl got sentimental all of a sudden; she started recalling the times she spent with her friends


    in her previous preschool.


    She would miss her friends and her teachers a lot.


    Amora caressed the little girl''s chubby cheek.


    "We''ll only stay here for a short period of time because I have to look after a patient of mine.Once I''m


    done, we''ll move back, okay? Can you please deal with it for the time being?"


    The little girl finally returned to her usual sprightly self when she heard her mother''s assurance.

    "Alright, Mommy! If that''s the case, I''ll prepare myself for school tomorrow!"


    Meanwhile, Matteo was upied with the background check on Kane, the man behind Ronin


    Corporation.


    He decided to pay the meanie a visit in person.


    Matteo wanted to determine if Kane was worthy of his mother''s time since he had always bullied


    Amora.


    Shortly after the little boy essed the domestic website and got his hands on Kane''s photo, his jaw


    dropped.


    What the hell is going on? Who the heck is this scum that resembles me? Literally, he looks like an


    adult version of me! Is he my biological father? A wild idea shed across Matteo''s mind.


    He stared at Kane''s photo,pletely baffled.


    "Matt, what are you doing? Can youe over and do me a favor? I can need an extra pair of hands


    now!"


    Amora was in the middle of unpacking the stuff she had brought along with them.


    She had to repeat herself a few times before her son finally responded to her and switched off his


    tablet.


    Matteo walked towards Amora in a daze.


    "Mommy, is Daddy dead?"


    "Yes.Why?"


    Amora waspletely drenched in sweat after spending her time unpacking their stuff.


    Therefore, she blurted out the things in mind when she heard her son''s question.


    That was the version of the white lies she had told her children.


    As she spent the past five years abroad, others would asionally ask her the whereabouts of her


    children''s father since was a single parent.Now that the children were older, they were naturally curious


    about their father.


    In order to save herself the agony, she told everyone her husband was dead.


    That scum is as good as dead, isn''t he? She thought Matteo would forget about it as usual, but he


    continued to probe after a prolonged silence.


    "How did he die?"


    Amora was taken aback by the question.


    She stuttered in return, "H-Huh? H-He died in...a-a car ident."


    Matteo waspletely speechless by his mother''s uncertainty.


    Mommy, you''re obviously lying to us! Is that meanie our father? Unable to suppress his frustration any


    longer, Matteo decided to pay Kane a visit to get to the bottom of their rtionship and why he wouldn''t


    stop picking on his mother.


    Most importantly, he wanted to know if Kane had abandoned him and his sister.


    Amora was oblivious of her son''s ns as she rushed to finish cleaning the ce so she could return


    to the damned confinement space.


    Suddenly, her brand new phone, that was on the coffee table, rang.


    "Hello?"


    "Madam? It''s me, Kylo."


    Seriously? Oh, God! Speak of the devil! Herees the assistant of the scum! Amora started


    exining herself after she heard the man on the other end of the call.


    "I''m so sorry, Kylo! It has been a long time since Ist met my uncle and aunt! They insist on having me


    for dinner! I...’’


    "It''s fine! I''m not calling to rush you.I have something else to discuss with you."


    "Huh? What is it?"


    Ever since that scum got his hands on me, he has always forced me into submission.What could he


    want to discuss with me?
