"You look like shit, Calysta," greeted Samantha as she walked into her assistant's office. the woman's bags under her eyes were clearly visible. Not to mention that her face couldn't mask her irritation. Is Yookie's problem that big?
Since there was no answer from Calysta-she seemed to be busy with her cell phone-Samantha finally asked again. "What happened at Yookie's?"
"My uncle was taken by the police."
Samantha was wide-eyed with disbelief. "How?" She pulled up a chair. "Tell me what the problem is."
Calysta let out a long sigh, but then she told the story of what happened yesterday. Complete with her difficulty in finding a lawyer. Because lest she put her trust in the wrong person, the lawyer could bring them to a standstill.
"Oh my God!" Samantha covered her mouth. "This can't be allowed. Why didn't you give me any news?"
Calysta massaged her forehead immediately. "I'm too messed up and don't know how to think straight, Auntie."

Of all the plans he had made for his own personal gain, why was nothing going right? There was only one thing that comforted him; the news that had surfaced and started dragging his name. It was what she wanted the most but if it was made in a state of confusion like this, wouldn't the victory be meaningless?"Auntie, what about the lawyer for my uncle?" asked Calysta as soon as Samantha started to calm down. It was nothing, ever since the phone call from Keith was cut off, Samantha started to panic. She was babbling while occasionally swearing."If Keith drags me into the law, that means I'll have to deal with Goojoo, Calysta," she said as she ruffled her once neat hair. "No, that's a nightmare." She covered her face in frustration. "I need to find a way to solve my problem." Right, there was no time to stay idle like this. lest Keith realize his words.Ask for a refund of the funds that have already come in, even if it's not the full amount. But what about the

Although Kate was able to predict this kind of cheap news, she still followed the developments. In addition, she also monitored reports from Danisa jug Winnie. Especially the case where Calysta needed a lawyer for her uncle. She didn't know what kind of problem Calysta's uncle was involved in, but it seemed quite serious."You can rest assured, most of us won't be doing Calysta any favors. We still appreciate you," Danisa said on the other end of the line just after breakfast was over. This morning, neither Calysta nor her son were there. It wasn't that Kate didn't want to know, but it seemed like they had different things to do.Her heart could only pray that Austin wouldn't do anything strange while they were finishing their business."Thank you, Danisa. I don't know what to say for now."On the other end, Danisa laughed. "We've missed our time with you, Kate. When will we get together again? I'm getting too sick of having Calysta in our group."

Before Austin knew it, his Calysta had changed. He fell in love with the person in front of him. I don't know what turned Calysta into a very different person than Austin had ever known. So different that Austin felt the woman in front of him was no longer the woman he loved."What is your purpose?" The man began to pace slowly, getting closer to Calysta who was still standing where she was. "You want Goojoo destroyed?" There was no answer from Calysta. So once again, Austin asked, "Enrich yourself and help people who are actually excluded from this family?"Calysta was still the same; silent."ANSWER!!!"The woman shook her head in shock. Her eyes were wide open. Even her body trembled with fear because Austin's voice was so dominating. "I don't want to see Goojoo standing still. It's your mother's precious treasure, right? You're just the manager, Austin. But the original owner is still your mother."The man blinked slowly. "That's what you want?

Kate stared at the woman she was supposed to love as a daughter-in-law. Try as she might, her heart could not. Calysta was just another person in this family. It's not that she doesn't deserve to be around Austin, but look at what she's done to her son. Maybe if she behaved normally like a normal wife, Kate wouldn't have a problem. Maybe her blessings and affection would come over time.Isn't it normal that dislike begins to melt over time? But what happened was that the dislike became even more entrenched because of the daughter-in-law's unreasonable attitude. Maybe if what Calysta did was only directed at her, Kate would still be able to tolerate it. But what Calysta did was beyond her comprehension.How could that woman orchestrate such a cunning way to make their family's support collapse?Meanwhile, Calysta managed to keep her breath from coming in short gasps. She had not yet lowered her displeased gaze to the middle-aged woman nearby. She would not easily

Calysta did not want to leave even after the words that were still ringing in her ears. She was asked to leave this house? Divorce? No-no. This could not happen to her. And to add insult to injury, all the things she had done that were pressuring and straining her were not being ignored by Austin."No," Calysta grabbed her hair with her eyes darting around. Her head was constantly spinning whether it was what happened with her uncle, the conversation with Samantha, Kate's confession, or Austin's treatment of her. Not just tonight, but the nights and days where Calysta felt... she was happy.Being treated as well as possible by Austin, always coming first in that man's life over anything else, shouldn't Calysta have realized that Austin's words of love were no joke? Despite that, she let her misplaced heartache dominate her mind."Madam," Poppie called out while trembling slightly in fear. Her eyes occasionally glanced at the big lady watching her at the top of t

"Austin hasn't come out of his room yet?" asked Kate as she sipped the hot tea Maria had made. Breakfast this morning was very, very different from usual. She was accompanied only by the servants who were always ready and waiting for her orders."Not yet, ma'am."Kate nodded briefly. Her tail flicked over to Poppie who stood just around the corner, looking down as she wrung the hem of her dress. "How is it, Calysta?"If it had to do with Calysta, then it was Poppie's responsibility. She quickly raised her gaze, looking at the owner of the house despite her nervousness. In the back of her mind, if Kate's kindness was no longer there, she might have returned home last night. Accompanied by regret and confusion, where to find a job again because in the current situation, it was difficult to find a replacement job quickly."Thank God, her condition is gradually improving. At seven o'clock I'm preparing to go back to the hospital to bring her things. I've also

Calysta woke up with a weak body and a dizzy feeling that was truly excruciating. But the most devastating thing was that when she opened her eyes, there was no one around her. There was only an IV bag and the room was completely silent except for the sound of the cooling machine and the TV that seemed to have been turned on deliberately."Here I am," she sighed softly. Trying to get up from her uncomfortable slump. "Ugh," she complained as she massaged her temples. "What's wrong with me, anyway?" Her memory began to fill her dizzy head. Starting to remember what happened to her life in the twenty-four hours before she ended up in the hospital bed.Everything began to organize into pieces that Calysta could remember clearly. It made her chest tighten and her head throb even more. "I... I still can't believe that the one who made my mother suffer was...," She looked down while gently tugging at her already messy hair. She didn't care about her appearance anymore. All sh
