Chapter 22 - Dealing with the step-family [3]

Before she could put her feet into the room, she felt someone grip her hand and pull her back. Jiwoo did not resist against that force.

Turning back while wearing a bored expression, she raised her eyebrows at Eunha as if questioning her purpose behind doing so.

"Daerin, we were just joking. How can we allow you to leave? Mom was just angry on how you took the key with you, and we were unable to leave for work due to that. That was frustrating, and that's why, we took out the anger on you. 

We are your family, so how can we ask of you to leave in the first place. You understand, right?" Eunhye vocalised with a sweet voice as she stepped forward.

It seemed that Shin Daerin was getting smarter than before and growing guts. Previous methods won't work on her, and as long as they got the money, they do not mind being sweet to her.

Jiwoo asked, "You mean to tell me that there is only one key at this house. How poor are you? Damn! Is this how miserably poor people live? Is this why all of you're this shrew?"

Seeing the sparkle in Jiwoo's eyes as if she had discovered something new and exciting made Eunha and Eunhye feel insulted. Clenching their hand into a tight fist, they kept on a calm face. They will be dealing with her later on.

"We will make more pair of keys later today then, but the thing is that it takes money," Eunha vocalised, staring at the ground. A sigh left her mouth.

"Of course it takes money. What's new about that?" Jiwoo voiced out, "Although those purses of yours are fake, you can sell them for enough price to make a key. Send me one of the keys when it is done. I will not be leaving for the time being since all of you have begged me."

With her eyes displaying arrogance, she turned her back on to them and stepped into the room, making sure to close the door with a loud sound. She hoped to break the door before the day she left.

"I really underestimated you, Moon Jiwoo. You are capable of handling some people," Minnie commented.

'Geez! I always dealt with such idiots. What's so great about it? I desperately need to sleep now. Don't annoy me.'

"Yes, yes, sleep tight. I will allow you to do that since I guess you have worked hard and smartly today. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly in the future."

'No, things would not be smooth in the future. That's because I am the main character of the story, and things don't go smoothly for the main character. After all, they are under the spotlight.'

"Tone down that arrogance of yours. You will make enemies if you keep up with that," Minnie voiced out.

'I didn't make anyone hate me today, so you are clearly wrong. Since that bitch Chaeyoung isn't here currently, things will turn out to be way better for me. I know it.'
