Amy glanced around for what she didn't lost, and scurried down the bed, and dash out of the room. Hilda heaved out a sharp sigh, and her gaze returned to her phone screen. "It's used to suppress sanity, and grow brain tumor? "she chuckled out a scoff, as she wiped away her tears.
They don't deserve her tears, not even a single drop. She have to go for check-up tomorrow, and see how it goes. Even if it's for her wealth, how dare them go that far? How is she even sure that it hadn't started taking effect? Her hand unconsciously went to her neck as she caress it.
She does that often when she's nervous, and helpless. She sniffled in, and rub her two fingers on her forehead continuously. Her mind wandered around, and a loud gasp followed with her eyes, widened as if it'll pop out of its sockets, "My dad!!! "

NEXT AFTERNOON- THE MOORE'S DINING HALL
The family all gathered around the table as the chefs all serve out lunch. Immediately the chefs were done serving, Lawrence Moore took his cutleries, and made to start eating when he noticed something strange.
His eyes surveyed the whole table, and noticed Hilda isn't around. His gaze fell on a staff, and inquired with his usual hoarse tone, "Where is the young ma'am? "as Gina Moore heard that, she rolled her eyes.
"She's still sleeping! "the staff replied, and Gina Moore chuckled out a scoff with an eyeroll. "What do you mean she's still sleeping, by this time of the day? Woah... "Gina Moore scoffed loudly, and huff out a sharp sigh.
"Do you have a problem with me still sleeping by this time of the day? "Hilda's voice was void of emotions as she appeared in the dining hall. "How're you, princess? "Lawrence Moore inquired with the corners of his lips curled up.
Hilda turned to him, and sat on the seat next to the head seat. "I'm fine, dad! "she smile broadly, and the middle-aged man pat her on the hair. Hilda's eyes went shut as she felt her father's hand on her hair, if it was before, she'd have made a fuss about him touching her neatly styled hair, but now, she's not gon' do that anymore.
"Acting like she's your only child! "Gina Moore huff out a scoff with a slight bite inside her cheek. "Now, let's eat! "the man proclaimed, and took his cutleries.
"Sister, I'm sorry about yesterday! "Amy apologized, suddenly breaking the silence. Hilda scoffed lightly, and Gina happened to hear it. "She just apologized for whatever she did, and all you could do is to scoff? "she sneered, suddenly feeling irritated.
Hilda ignored her as she continued eating, but that only worsened the whole situation, "Woah!!! Since the day before yesterday, you've suddenly grew this annoying wings, you know? "Gina Moore uttered with mocked astonishment.
Hilda didn't bulge from where she was, and decided to continue eating, and turned deaf ears to her, but her next statement got her, "Is this the annoying character you used to seduce Ryan Reynolds into getting him to agree to be your fiancé? "
When Gina Moore saw that Hilda didn't respond again, she went ahead, and provoked her more, "Does this mean it's true? Well, if it's not, why will you be silent? "she scoffed as she stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth, and chew on it with all the anger in her.
Hilda heaved out a long sigh, and chuckled dryly as she dropped her cutleries with loud shatters, "You know... my silence doesn't mean I agree with you or you're right... "she nodded continuously, and Gina Moore only scoffed as she raised the glass filled with water to her mouth,
Then, Hilda concurred, "It's just that your level of stupidity rendered me speechless! "Gina Moore spat out the liquid that just got into her mouth as she choked on it. Her eyes widened, and her veins popped out obviously on her neck as her gaze remained on Hilda.
Amy quickly got up from her seat, and helped the staff pat her mother's back, "How dare you wretched girl?!!! "Gina Moore screamed madly immediately she was settled. Her chest heaved up, and down as her sharp gaze eyed Hilda who didn't even spare her any glance.
"Dad, are you busy today? "Hilda asked, as she turned to Lawrence Moore. "Why? Do you want to take me out? "the man chuckled hoarsely, and Hilda quickly nodded. "Yeah, to the hospital! "she uttered softly, and almost inaudibly, but clear enough for her father to hear.
Lawrence Moore cackled on hearing that, "But I'm meeting up with the CEO of Reynolds Group, and Corp., today.... What will we do? "he inquired as he caressed her backhand.
"Why are you meeting up with them? Woah! So, you knew all along that your daughter has been interested in my daughter's man all along? "Gina Moore roared, with her eyes shooting lasers at the father, and daughter. "Yo... your daughter's man? "Lawrence Moore couldn't believe his ears.
"What? Do you want to say I'm wrong? Who isn't aware in this house that my daughter has been in love with Ryan Reynold since they were kids?! "she snapped angrily, and Amy clamp her lips together in frustration.
"Mom! what are you doing? "she groaned as she stomped her feet on the ground, "I'm only doing what's right! Just because you're a second wife's daughter doesn't give anybody the right to take what belongs to you! "she replied calmly, caressing her daughter's hand.
"Just like you said it right now! You're a second wife, and your daughter is the second wife's child born out of marriage, which makes her an illegitimate child, but you saved her face by forcing marriage with my dad...
So, I hope you know that your daughter has no right to anything that belongs, and don't belong to her. "Hilda stated it out carefully, and straighten up to her feet, shocking everyone in the hall, including the staffs.
"Wh-what? Di... did you just... "Gina Moore was out of speech on hearing Hilda's statement. Amy stood speechless on her ground as her eyes blurred out with tears that threatened to fall at any moment. "Sister... "she called as she felt her heart shred into pieces, her lips trembled badly as she watched her once loving sister become distant.
If it was before, Hilda would have felt a pang of guilt, and she wouldn't even say anything close to what she had just said to make her sister cry, but that was before. Now, that she had gotten a chance to live her life again, she wouldn't let any pests ruin her life.
"Now that I've thought about it, why don't we get Amy Moore engage to Frank Cooper? "
