Chapter 228 - Ch. 228 Switch Place

Kaylee and Roxy went to the shopping center and sat on one of the long benches on the edge of the pedestrian area.

"Now I understand why you like this place. The atmosphere here is vivacious and pleasant."

"I know, right. Everything feels different here. No rules, no one would order us to do this or that. We can be free here." added Roxy as she agreed to her sister's comment.

"But, we can't forever live here and leave our parents." Kaylee still remembered that her purpose in coming here was to persuade Roxy to go home.

Even though her father never showed it, she knew he missed his eldest daughter very much. Not only her father, her mother, and others expect the true successor of Hades to return home soon and continue her training to become a Hades.

"I know. But I want to find a breather once for a while. Plus, being like papa wasn't my dream."

"Then… what is your dream?"

"To be a designer." came her reply with a proud tone.

"I saw your works. They are beautiful."

Roxy's smile grew wider when she heard her sister's praise. "How about you? What is your dream?"

"Me? I'm going to be a pianist like you. But… it's mission impossible for me... I think."

Roxy giggled at her answer. "Why not be a professional cellist? You're good at it."

"..." Kaylee didn't answer and just gave her a sad smile. "I might do it… someday when I am completely separated from our family."

"We will never be separated from our family. I heard we don't get to choose who our parents are. Once we are born, our family name will stick with us for life."

"That's true. But we can write our own story, right? You said that to me."

"What's the use to write our own story when our papa is relentless to get us?"

"It's not like papa would force his will on us. I'm pretty sure he would listen to us as long as we behave."

"Yeah, like I'll behave." Roxy had a great pride that she couldn't break. If she thinks she was right, she will hold that belief even if her faith was wrong.

Thus, she often rebels and didn't listen to her elders.

"I can do it for you."

Roxy turned to her sister with a confused look. "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember we used to trick people by switching places?"

"Yeah?"

"We can do it again when we get back there. I will act wild like you but with some limited deed to show that you have changed and are more obedient. Then I'll talk to papa about your dream and persuade him to let you study in Paris."

"Even though we can outwit papa, we can't fool mama. She can always tell us apart and knows that we switched places."

"Then, we only have to avoid mama as much as possible."

"Like she'll let us do that."

"Don't worry. I know how to avoid mama." grinned Kaylee from ear to ear.

As she thought. Kaylee has more wicked ways than her.

"So, are you in?" asked Kaylee for a second time with expectant eyes.

Roxy thought for a moment before answering, "Alright. I'll book the ticket for us." her answer invited a delight sequel from her sister.

"Then I'll let them know we're going home. When do you want to go back? Tomorrow, this weekend, or next week?"

"I gotta see the empty seats." Roxy fished her cell phone out of her coat pocket and logged into a flight booking website. "We can go home this weekend. I need to say goodbye to my friends after all."

"Okay. I'll call mama and let her know."

Roxy let Kaylee call their parents while she booked plane tickets for two. She started to list her name as the first passenger, and then she put Kaylee's name.

But just as she was about to pay for it, a cunning idea crossed her mind. What if she sent her sister home using her appearance?

She was sure her father would pick them up, considering their father was very overprotective of them and preferred to protect them using his own two hands.

Kaylee could look like herself and be kind and please her father to persuade him to let her continue her studies in France.

At the same time, she could take over Kaylee's spot to accompany the handsome mister as soon as her sister broad on the plane.

It kills two birds in one stone!

Quickly, Roxy repeated her order and only entered her name to let her father know that she was going home, although it was her sister who was going home.

Roxy didn't tell Kaylee on purpose and said, "I bought the tickets for us."

Of course, the innocent Kaylee would believe everything she said.

On the day of their departure, Roxy and Kaylee have swapped places dressed like their sisters.

Kaylee wore a tank top with a knitted sweater with a beret hat, while Roxy wore a white knee-length summer dress. Their hairstyles were even different to make sure anyone who sees them couldn't recognize them.

Kaylee braided her hair together while Roxy parted her hair and had dyed her hair as black as Kaylee, remembering that she had applied a dark red spray to the ends of her hair.

They even managed to outwit Uncle Pierre and his wife because he had mispronounced their names when dropping them off at the airport.

Of course. No one would be able to tell them apart because of the resemblance of their faces that almost looked like twins. In this world, the only ones who could tell them apart were their mother and Gwendy, Roxy's best friend.

Their mother immediately recognized her two daughters even though they were both walking in a vast field, while Gwen only recognized them after talking to one of them.

Apart from the two of them, no one was able to recognize them. Even the 'evil guy' spying on them thought the one on the plane was Roxanne because of her notable appearance. And thus… that heartless man bombed the plane along with other innocent passengers.
