Mo Lihua tensed, her eyes narrowed dangerously at Marco. "Are you talking about my father? Do you have something to do with it?"

"You are jumping into conclusion. There is a saying, don't assume or you are making an a.s.s out of you."

"Then who is it? Who abducted my father?" Mo Lihua asked blatantly.

Marco hummed, "Hmm. That is a tough question to answer. By the way, do you know how many siblings your mother had?" Marco asked with a smile instead.

"You should know something! Tell me! Who are those that are involved with my father's kidnapping?" Mo Lihua yelled furiously. "Are you one of them?"

Mo Lihua was testing Marco as Piore told her that the acting head might be the one that had her father abducted.

Might be! No concrete details or proof to confirm who was behind it. They do not even know where to start finding her father.

With that in mind, Mo Lihua would treat everyone from the Doncrelli family as an enemy.

In all honesty, Mo Lihua was also sceptical with Piore, but she has no choice but cooperates with him since he was her guardian.

Piore also cares about Fei Yan, which makes things a little more complicated.

There was also the time where Piore saved her during the previous Selection.

He allowed her to meet with people from the Doncrelli family without telling her first did not sit well with her.

Is it just him being upset because she got married without telling or he has other intentions?

Mo Lihua did not want to entertain the idea that Piore would sacrifice her or betray her for the status of the family head. If that ever happens, Mo Lihua would not know what to do.

Anyhow, the meeting does not look so bad. Mo Lihua initially thought that they were only going to discuss her inheritance. However, if she could know more who were the people involved, it would be better.

She also enjoyed annoying some people to burn some stress. If one would be kind enough to help her stretch some hand and leg muscles, why not?

Marco chuckled, "You knew the answer to that. If you need my help to enlighten you, I do not mind." He said. "We do not need to abduct your father, Mo Lihua. Someone else did it without me, even knowing. Now, to answer my question earlier, your mother had twenty-four siblings. I want to emphasize that that was a very long time again. Since thirteen were already dead."

He paused for a moment to study her expression, "You know how they died, right? Could you still remember it? All this, I guess started ten years ago. Or perhaps way before that." Marco said seriously.

Mo Lihua was initially confused before remembering the faces of people that she had killed before.

Her face then paled considerably, the beating of her heart intensified. 'I need my medicine… I want my medicine to calm down…' Mo Lihua almost uttered that out loud to Piore who has it.

She knows better, though. Never show your weakness to your enemies.

Still, she did not want to remember the times that she was fighting for her life. The feeling that almost drive he crazy and excited at the same time.

Mo Lihua held her right hand tightly to avoid anyone noticing that it was trembling.

However, it did not work as the more she remembered, the more intense the shaking. She wanted to destroy something. She craved to crush anything with her b.a.r.e hands, to make it stop.

Mo Lihua was feeling strange, and because of this, she cannot help but grab on Piore's t.h.i.g.h and held on it painfully.

It was her way of saying 'This was your entire fault.'

Her hand clawed on Piore's t.h.i.g.h like she was trying to use her nails to dig into his jeans, aiming for the skin.

His face did not show any signs that he was in pain. Piore was the only who knew that her hand clawing at his tight was gradually getting painful by the second.

How many days had it been since she last took her anxiety medicine? Mo Lihua's mind was turning cloudy, but she was enduring. This was the longest that she had lasted without her anxiety pills.

"Why are you saying all this? I do not see your point." Mo Lihua replied tightly. She did not want to admit it, but at the back of her head, something clicked — a possible reason why all this were happening to her.

She does not like the idea as it would again add to her guilt.
