Above a forest of this city, the midday sun hung suspended in cloudless space.


    Sydney, who had hidden in the forest all night and all day, finally headed on the way out of the forest,


    after she was sure that Evan didn’t find her. She was now totally shabby and unkempt, if a dirty, mud-


    covered pajama, with ubed, straw-like


    hair.


    Her pretty fair face now also got dirty.


    Instead of the proud and graceful Ms. Macmin of the Macmin family, now she looked more like a


    homeless. Especially since she hid in the forest all night, she had not taken a shower, so she smelt


    stinking, which made her no different from a beggar.


    She should have stayed in her room, had a scented petal bath with essential oil, and wore perfume if it


    wasn’t for Anya. Yet right now, not only had she lost her job but also her family went bankrupt. Besides,


    she had to live in hiding.


    For the first time forever, Sydney had tasted the desperation in her life, and Anya assumed full


    responsibility for all of this. And she would ask Anya to pay for that, even at the cost of her life!


    Standing on the edge of the forest, with her fists clenched tightly Sydney never let you off so easily,


    Anya MacMin, never!”


    Rashed her teeth, cursing in her heart, “I will


    After giving vent to her anger by cursing Anya to hell, Sydney walked to the road and tried to hitch a


    ride.


    er family must be so worried about her.


    She had to go home as soon as possible, for her family


    a


    Thinking of this, she reached out and waved her hand to the cars on the road quickly. However, none of


    the drivers stopped their cars when they noticed the mud on her cloth.


    Luckily, there was still one car stopped and the driver agreed to take her a ride in the end, though it


    was a truck carrying pigs.


    She was reluctant to get on the truck when she saw the smelly dirty pigs, yet after little time had


    psed, she was, however, rather embarrassed, when she realized that it would cost her all night to


    walk home. The fact was that she needed to go home as soon as possible, took a shower, and had


    some food.


    Therefore, after a short hesitation, Sydney had to get on and sat in the truck with stinky pigs.


    But looking at the pigs, she still couldn’t help crying after she got on the truck, while the memories of


    being a noble wealthydy were alling back to her.


    She med this all on Anya!


    With a great weight of sorrow and anger inside her, Sydney cried all the way. Soon she had been


    carried to the city center. Because the truck was not allowed to run on the main road, Sydney was


    asked to get off the truck on the edge of the city


    center.


    Fortunately, she had arrived in the city, so it was not hard for her to take a taxi.


    In no time, she had sessfully taken a taxi. When she was driven to the MacMin’s, she then found


    out that there was no penny on her. Therefore, she went into the house with the driver, asking her mom


    for the taxi fee. However, the MacMin family was bankrupt.


    Melissa was now sitting on the sofa in the living room and kept calling for help to find her daughter, as


    Sydney suddenly appeared in front of her. She was too astonished to speak for a moment.


    ti M.


    “Sydney.. … It’s you! My daughter… Melissa stammered. She could hardly believe that her daughter


    came back.


    In tears, she asked, as the rims of her eyes were red.


    “It’s me, Mom.” Sydney walked hurriedly to Melissa and hugged her. “Do you have money, Mom? I


    need to pay for the taxi.” Feeling the tight hug from her daughter, Melissa couldn’t help but cry out. Her


    dear daughter came back.


    “Sure, I will pay the money.” Melissa pped her daughter on the back gently and then went to pay for


    the taxi.


    After the driver left, Melissa looked at her dirty-faced and emaciated daughter. She was heartbroken.


    “Sydney. Oh, my dear. Where have you been? Howe you look so terrible?”


    Melissa’s questions reminded Sydney of her suffering and hardships these days. Tears poured down


    her cheeks. “Mom, it’s a long story. But don’t worry, Mom. I’m back now, untouched. It’s all Anya


    MacMin’s fault. She got me into this! She must pay the price! I swear, that I will never let her off


    easily!”


    Anya! It was her again!


    I


    Immediately, Melissa thought of her husband, who was now in the prison because of Anya. A trace of


    malevolence showed in her eyes.

    “Sydney’s right. Anya MacMin must pay for that!” thought Melissa spitefully, in her heart.
