Kirin was pacing back and forth in their living room when Cole arrived home. "Cole, is it true that Mr. Cuevas withdrew his investment?" she asked her son as soon as she saw him coming inside the house. "What happened? Why would they do that? They were fine yesterday? What went wrong?"
"Think about who you offended yesterday." Cole told her. "Not only Mr. Cuevas but Mrs. Chen and Mr. Lim withdrew their investments, too. They claimed that they wouldn't want to make enemy with a business giant. So, think which business giant did you offend."
Kirin slumped down on the couch. Her face frowned and her eyes darkened. "I didn't do anything to anyone. I just left a review of Clover Hotel."
"You left a review? What kind of review did you leave? Is that the one related to your post which involved Cayenne?"
"Yes. But isn't leaving a review a normal thing?" Kirin questioned her son with little hope in her eyes. "I didn't say anything particularly bad towards the hotel. I only meant to attack that poor woman."
"That's where you're wrong." Cole sat down and covered his face with his hands. "Don't offend Cayenne ever again if you don't want to lose what we have right now."
"What do you mean?" Kirin asked, confused as to why she shouldn't do anything to a poor woman. "She's just some poor woman that leeched off from us when she was young. Why should I care if I offend her or not?"
Cole stood up and walked upstairs. "If you want to continue harassing her, then go ahead. Just don't come to me with regrets in the end. I have warned you already."
Kirin kicked the coffee table angrily but since her son warned him about it, she wouldn't be reckless anymore. Even though she wasn't very close with her eldest son, he cares for their businesses so much. Unlike her relationship with Arthur, they're very close and she spoils him a lot but he cares for nothing and no one except, Cayenne.
Just as she was thinking about her youngest son, Arthur came home with a small suitcase. "Mom, I'm home."
"Arthur, thank goodness you're back! How was your work?"
"It was fine." Arthur replied with a smile. "By the way mom, I've seen the post about Cayenne. You should delete it or our business will be implicated."
"You, too? Why are you all saying this to me? Just what's going on with that woman you like?"
"She maybe poor but she's got so many friends and they all cared for her. She works in the hotel because she didn't want to be dependent on them. However, if it's not financial, she's willing to accept their help. And with the things that you did in the past, I won't wonder if she will agree to ruin the business we have." He walked towards his room but he remembered something. "Another thing, she didn't leech off from us. I willingly give what I had to her. How could I watch the woman I like suffer? Good night, mom."
Kirin was left in the middle of the living room, standing with a confused expression on her face. "Should I investigate her again? But what if her backer are really strong people? Tsk! That woman." She picked up her phone on the coffee table and deleted the review she made. She can ignore her personal grudges for the sake of her business.
Even though she deleted it already, Stefan's anger couldn't be deleted like a review. He would continue to deal damaged with them because of what they did to Cayenne.
Cayenne was picked up by Stefan after work and they won't home to the apartment instead of their house in the subdivision. "I heard the news about the young master of the Minato family. Is that your doing?"
"Nope. It's my father who did that."
"Your father? So, he's bent on destroying that family because of what happened to your mother? Does he know that you were just fooling him using your mother?"
"No." Stefan responded. "Let's just forget about him. Let's focus on our life and your family. Your mother's birthday is the last day of the month, right? Do you have any plans?"
"I'll talk to my brothers about." Cayenne told him. If she won't plan anything, she knew that Stefan would do it on her behalf. "By the way, we need to be careful. My colleagues are suspecting me now because of the picture you posted yesterday."
"I'm sorry about that. But I don't really care. It's not like I'm playing with you. I'm serious with our relationship and I want to marry you as well. I'm just waiting for your decision." Stefan spoke softly. "You're all I need, Ayen."
"Ask me again after my mother's birthday. I'll think about this matter."
The two of them dismissed the topic of marriage and looked for another subject to talk about. After half an hour, they finally got themselves out of the traffic and got home.
Cayenne's family ate dinner first since the two of them arrived late but they left them enough food for dinner. The two of them ate their food, took a shower, and rested the night away. Stefan didn't tease her this time knowing that she was emotionally exhausted since yesterday.
"Good night, my love." Stefan kissed the corner of her lips and cuddled her to sleep.
"Good night, love." Cayenne responded and hugged him back. She's starting to get used to this endearment and she likes it.
The news of Albert Minato being imprisoned hadn't died down yet, but another news erupted the next morning. Sylvia, Albert's younger sister was expelled from T University. She was caught cheating and it was found out that the designs she's been submitting to the school were works of her classmates. She paid those talented but poor fashion designers to make designs for her that she can submit. She was living a life of a princess using her money while her classmates lived as her slaves.
Now, she got kicked out and no university was willing to accept her. All school administrators, domestically and internationally, were told that the Minato clan will fall and getting bribes from them will only implicate their schools. Who in their right mind would ruin themselves for other people who are about to fall? No one. So in the end, Sylvia had to go back to City A, bringing shame to her family.
