Scandals
Bonchap 17's

And this is where the three women ended up, in Lara's ward after the third daughter Miranda finished talking four eyes with Robert. I don't know what the two are talking about, because Miranda and Lily don't dare to ask.

"So when are we leaving Mom?" Lara asked with a thawing of their atmosphere that felt stiff after returning from Robert's ward.

"After the doctor let you go home." Miranda answered while rubbing Lara's tired-looking face full of weight.

"Mom, can I ask you something?"

"What dear?"

"Can we not go?"

"Lara, but mom has prepared our departure—"

"If Mom's goal was to take me out just to separate me and Edgar, it would seem unnecessary. Because tomorrow Nelson will take Edgar to Singapore."

"Have you?"

Lara nodded her head. She tells Mom Miranda about her visit to the ICU where Edgar was being treated, not wanting to hide anything from her.

"Mom I promise I won't see Edgar again and get in touch with him again, so can we just have a quiet life here? Pity my sister Lily if she sacrifices the career she has built from scratch. I was also afraid that Brother Rose would return and find the Mansion empty."

Miranda lost her words because everything Lara said was true. There is Rose and Lily who will be the victims if he continues to force a move abroad. After all, his business here was not finished, he still had to give calculations to Nela who had maliciously slandered him. And also completed his divorce with Robert.

After all, Lara had promised not to be related to Edgar again, and Edgar himself was currently in a coma somehow when it could be realized. So what's wrong with them staying here, until Rose comes home and they move in search of a house that's not too big with the Mansion they have today.

"Alright, but after Rose comes home we move to another place that is more suitable for us. And you must also promise to continue your education."

Lily thanked Lara in her heart, because she finally did not need to leave the career she loved so much, which she had pioneered so far despite being filled with Scandals made.

"Sir Edgar goodbye, I hope brother can recover and recover as before." Lara prayed inwardly by steadying herself to forget Edgar for the sake of Mom Miranda and everyone else who was already involved with the Scandal she made.

One year later.

"Silence Gavi!" Lara hit her best friend who had been bothering her since. Even though they are currently in the library room and that means no noise.

"Stop it! You are not fit to study like that, better now we go for a walk. How will I treat you?"

Lara who had a sour face since then, immediately also smiled widely. "Why didn't you say that." The thrill while pushing Gavi firmly until the man hit the bookcase, and of course make the books on the shelf fall.

"Well Collins!" the library guard shouted furiously. Because again the girl made trouble in her room.

"Not me but him." Lara points at Gavi, then runs away.

Yeah, that's Lara Collins back to what she used to be. The beautiful girl was cheerful, careless, and many other flaws that always made everyone rise in blood.

Meanwhile, in different places and in different countries. A man wearing a black suit was looking down at the window of the room flat and cold, where many cars passed by. Maybe his body was in the room, but his heart and mind were always on the one figure he had longed for so far.

"Lara Collins.." she softened with a chest that felt tight every time she remembered her woman.
