Aster Veren
Episode 157's

- Esther

"Welcome miss," said a teenage girl of Carel and Teo's age, inviting me to enter her courtyard.

"How are you today?" He continued asking with his friendly expression.

"Well," I answered briefly, still following him from behind.

"Thank God, it's good to hear you're okay even though I heard your father's condition still hasn't made any progress." His speech slowed down his voice, breaking my mood that was doing fine.

Though I did not come to hear his disrespectful remarks, I came to meet the head of the family who was none other than his father. Did he not realize who he was talking to? Is he underestimating me?

"I'm sure I told Mr. Robert to keep my father's condition a secret. But it seems like his mouth is unbelievable huh, should I cancel our cooperation? Or should I tear his mouth?" I said stopping my steps while putting on the smile of my sarcasm that I had trained, then I looked at the black bead of the woman as she turned her body towards me.

"I–itu ...," he muttered in surprise, "heh~ is indeed a princess like you daring to do such a heinous thing?" He immediately returned my sarcastic smile.

"Hem, do you think I don't dare to do it?" I asked to put on my best smile.

"I can even make you beg for mercy!" I immediately walked to Mr. Robert's study with my annoyance that I was trying to endure.

I know that look, lately I've been getting to know the expressions of people like them who are two-faced. I have also adapted to the Veren family's way of punishing, resisting and taking down their enemies.

It was difficult at first, but the more days I needed it the more. So inevitably I also began to adjust myself like the people in the Veren family.

I opened the door of Mr. Robert's study room violently, I saw that everyone inside looked surprised by my presence.

"Young lady? Aren't you gonna be here in an hour?" Old Robert asked immediately walked up to me.

"You think I can laze around in a situation like this?" Ask me to immediately sit on a small sofa that is available in the workspace before being invited.

"Get me a drink and a meal for the lady." His words made the two servants in the room immediately leave from before me.

"Mr Robert." I could not turn away from the figure of him sitting in front of me, filling the empty sofa across the street.

"Yes, miss?" Tanya looked confused with her awkward smile.

"It looks like our cooperation, we just cancel it." My answer while showing my best smile, right along with the arrival of his daughter Mr Robert who looks–pale?

"A–what do you mean, miss? Di–cancel? Why?" He stammered with his stupid expression.

"Hem, why do you think?" I asked back, putting on my best smile.

"Have I made a mistake?"

"Hah~ right!" My exclaim after sighing violently along with my annoyed expression that I can no longer hide.

"Unfortunately ap–"

"You forgot what you're pretending to be stupid?" Cut me down while glancing at the female figure that was already standing behind Master Robert. Wh who? Who else if it wasn't his daughter that pissed me off.

"Ck, well I'll tell you .. I'm sure I asked you to shut up about my father's condition. But it looks like your mouth asked to be ripped off, huh? Or do I sew it?" I continued to cluck in annoyance at the arrival of the two maids who had brought me dishes.

"It–nona." He immediately looked at his daughter.

"What have you told the young lady?" This made the woman silent.

"How many people know my father's condition in this house?" I ask that I do not care about that request.

"That's not much. Just me, my daughter and my wife." The answer did not dare to look me in the eye.

"really? Are you sure you're not lying to me?" I asked again not to lower my level of alertness.

"Surely, miss, I'm not lying! Please don't cancel our cooperation, miss, I really need your help."

"... In that case, ask your daughter to bow before me as her apology to me." Tell me after being silent for a while.

I hope this old man before me doesn't ask his son to bow down to me. Since I don't really want it, just assume I'm testing it. If she loves her daughter, she will definitely fight me. But if he ....

"Fast follow the wishes of the lady! You don't want our family business destroyed? Besides, this is all happening because you've pissed Miss off. Prostrate quickly!" His words made me even more upset when I saw the nature of this old man before me.

"But father–" said the woman as her body was forced to prostrate before me.

"Please forgive my daughter miss." Continue, Mr. Robert.

"I'll cancel the deal!" I said while rising from my sitting position.

"Huh? Ap–why? Hasn't my daughter prostrated herself to apologize?"

"Hiks ...," the woman's crying voice made me feel a little sorry for her. But if I look at my previous attitude, I feel satisfied.

"... You don't meet my criteria. I thought you were going to defend your daughter, but I was wrong. You pushed him to prostrate to me, when I thought you were going to curse me to defend your daughter." Obviously I made the woman look up at me with her teary eyes.

"Itu–"

"Take it as a test from me, and you're failing." Cut me up while putting on my best smile before I leave Mr. Robert's residence.

"Miss?" Hans muttered after me from behind after I came out of Mr. Robert's study, he did ask me to wait outside.

"Wait!" Shouted a woman who was none other than master Robert's daughter.

"Sa–I apologize for my previous bad words. I beg you not to cancel your cooperation with my father, I admit wrong. So–" her tutor begged while clasping my left hand with both hands.

I sing my sweet smile to the woman in front of me, for some reason I feel victorious from that woman. "Look! I can really make you beg me, right?" I asked her to make her sad expression turn into a surprised expression.

"Next time never underestimate others just because they are younger than you. You should see their origins too if you want to survive. You must be afraid if your father punishes you?" I continue to remember the bad rumors about Mr. Robert who likes to commit domestic violence to his wife and daughter.

Well after being seen in person, he is indeed more trash than I thought. The proof is that he prefers me over defending his daughter, it seems that in addition to liking KDRT, he is also a double eye. I thought I was upset myself when I remembered all the information about Mr. Robert that Hans had given me.

"That ... po–I beg you not to cancel your cooperation." His request came back begging.

"If you're so timid, why did you act so bold before? You should just be nice and don't look for trouble. You know your father like that, he still had time to offend me." I said the more she made her cry, even my hands she hadn't let go since.
