Her wish was not granted and a senior came towards her. Ying Yue saw from the corner of her eyes how smooth well-toned legs were heading towards her direction with confident strides. She prayed internally to get ignored but the senior came to her,

"How dare you sit here, this is for the the seniors only. And eww what are you eating that is for the workers here, how pathetic are you to not know where to get your lunch".

Saying that senior; Hayami threw Ying Yue's lunch to the ground and grabbed her by the hair.

"Now listen here newbie! Don't ever and I mean ever sit in my place. And don't try to talk to me, I don't want to waste my time on trash like you".

Ying Yue heard the entire cafeteria laughing at her, feeling utterly humiliated she ran out of the cafeteria.

As the school ended she grabbed her bag and left for home. On reaching home she freshened up before going to meet the head-chef. Making note of the timings for breakfast, lunch and dinner she left to go meet the head-sweeper who told her at what time the house is cleaned, dusted etc. Jotting down everything in her notepad she left to go meet the butler; Isao.

Isao was a grumpy man who told her few things like how most of her fathers assets are kept in secret and very few amount is present in banks, and she has seven siblings among whom the oldest daughter; Katsumi is her dad's favourite.

She knew that she had to learn a lot of things to surpass her siblings and become her father's favoured child and she willingly learned or atleast tried to learn everything for her father's sake.

The ringing of the phone brought her out of her thoughts, looking at the 'Caller Id' she made a face she never wanted to get any call from this person, she wanted to cut all the connections from her past. Sighing in irritation she answered the phone,

"I told you to not call me again. Why are you calling me? I am tired to hear your pitiful efforts in convincing me to come back. Be happy for me atleast once?"

"Ying Yue! This is not your mother but your adopted uncle, your mother's condition is getting worse the doctor's say she might not make it till tomorrow atleast come and meet her for few seconds so that she may leave happily."

"Yoshito! I don't care. I am living here happily so don't try to ruin this for me and don't call again. It was the choices she made for which she is paying the price."

With that she hung up the phone. She is happy to have a luxury living style and didn't care what happened to her mother. She went as far as to pretend that her mother didn't exist.

During her mission to find her father's most faithful servant and loyal follower she met her boyfriend; Kano, who was the son of one of her dad's partners. All of her dad's friends were like him involved in some shady underground business.

It was nearing a month since she left her mom and came to live with her dad when she met the Katsumi.
