"And this is what I am talking about," An evil smile crept onto Joanna\'s face as she summoned the red flame.

She played with it on her palms for a minute and when they least expected it she threw a fireball at where the ladies sat.

The approaching fireball Joanna threw brought back memories of the destroyed porch and instantly Adhara and Laura jumped out from the couch and took to their heels.

The way they acted was as if a bomb was thrown at them.

[Hahaha... So this is how it feels to really take revenge on an enemy... I never understood the feelings of people who dedicated their lives to taking revenge but I think I understand them a bit now. It feels awesome to see your enemy tremble at your feet]

A broad smile spread across her face as she stared at the faces of the terrified ladies who were now standing at the entrance of the building with hands on their chests.

Grandma Cora turned and looked at where her daughter and granddaughter stood with a puzzled look on her face.

She was surprised to see her daughter and granddaughter behave this way but neither of them gave the elderly woman the opportunity to know what was pursuing them.

"Oops...," She exclaimed, her right hand on her lips.

"I forgot to tell you guys that the fireball won\'t explode. Hahaha...," Joanna\'s laughter echoed throughout the entire building as she made her way to her room.

Peace returned to the sitting room once again but none of the three women had peace of mind even after she left.

"Is this what you have been experiencing in her hand?" Grandma Cora asked, her gaze centred on Adhara who was returning to the couch alongside Laura.

"Was this the reason I noticed that your attitude towards her had changed when I arrived here?".

Adhara didn\'t utter a word as she sat down. She was too ashamed to admit that the girl she maltreated all these years had defeated her more than twice.

"If you had noticed this earlier then why didn\'t you do something about it?" Grandma Cora scolded.

"Why did you wait until it got to this stage....,"

"Do you think I didn\'t want to kill her and forever get rid of that thorn in my flesh?" Adhara retorted when she noticed that her mother, who didn\'t know the entire story, was quick to throw all the blames on her.

"If she hadn\'t threatened me with a secret that should never come to light do you think I wouldn\'t have continuously tried to kill her....,"

"Did you just say she threatened you with a secret that shouldn\'t come into the open?" Grandma Cora interrupted sharply.

She gazed at Adhara but the frustrated lady refused to utter a word.

"And what is this secret you are talking about?" She questioned.

Adhara looked away from her mother\'s face. She maintained her silence even though three minutes had passed.

"Stop being...," Grandma Cora choked on her words when Laura sitting in the middle leaned so close to her.

"She knows that Mum killed her mate just to marry Dad. She has a video of Mum admitting to the crime...,"

"What!" Grandma Cora shouted, her eyeballs almost falling out of their sockets.

[And this is exactly what I was trying to prevent when I didn\'t say anything because I know how sensitive Mother is to this topic]

Adhara clenched her fists and maintained a stern expression.

"Not only that Grandma but she almost blew us up along with the porch that got repaired a day before you arrived," Laura confessed in a low tone.

"Tell me you are joking!" Grandma Cora exclaimed with her eyes widened in shock. She turned and looked at where Joanna\'s room was located upstairs.

[Before the evil girl kills my daughter and her kids, I better do something about her. And I need to be quick about it]

Grandma Cora clasped her fist as she glared at Joanna\'s room.

Meanwhile, as this was going on, in the palace the Queen was seen at the King\'s quarters talking to Josephina.

"Seeing how everyone is cleaning His Majesty\'s quarter I believe he must be on his way back right?" Queen Theresa tried to use cunning methods to fish for information from Josephina.

[She must be trying to get the exact day His Majesty is returning. Too bad, His Majesty hasn\'t informed us when he will be returning. Luckily I am smart enough to see through her schemes]

Josephina stared at the woman who was watching the maids and palace guards currently cleaning.

"From what I recall his trip should have ended yesterday so that means he will arrive at the Kingdom latest by tomorrow right?" Queen Mother asked as she returned her gaze to Josephina\'s face.

"Your Highness, as you must be aware, details about the King\'s whereabouts always remained a top secret. None except those with him are the ones who know his whereabouts and it remains this way until he and his entourage reach the palace," Josephina explained in length.

"You are one of his closest people so this means that you must be aware of his whereabouts right now so stop faking it," Queen Mother scolded Josephina.

"Also, are you trying to say that I will harm His Majesty?" She seethed, her murderous glares directed at Josephina.

"Of course not, Your Highness," Josephina defended herself.

Even though she knew that the lady standing in front of her was up to no good she still had to show respect because of her title.

"I know you would not harm His Majesty but because you won\'t doesn\'t mean that others will not dare to do that," Josephina added.

She wasn\'t rude with her words nor was she polite as she said these words.

"Hmmm... I guess you are right about that," Queen Mother Theresa agreed to Josephina\'s astonishment.

It was particularly hard for her and the Queen Mother to agree on the same thing. Same with his Majesty\'s people and the Queen Mother\'s.

They were always at loggerheads so she was surprised to hear the Queen Mother of all people agreed with her on a thing.

Noticing that the Queen Mother still wanted to talk Josephina beat her to it, "Your Highness, you will be the first person I inform if I get any information about his Majesty".

With this, the smart lady was able to get rid of the Queen Mother.

At her quarters, the Queen Mother walked into her living room with a scowl on her face and a clenched fist.
