?Because she hardly leaves the pce doesn''t mean that her knowledge is restricted to what is happening in the pce alone.


    "Did I say, stupid girl?" Tiffany muttered and yed with the tip of her ebony hair.


    "As you can see it''s just us and I have said that you can speak without any restrictions if it''s just us," Queen Mother Theresa said to make the girl feel rxed again.


    Only when they were both rxed can she execute her ns perfectly.


    [I can see why Tiff is always fearless despite how strict Grandpa is with us. The Queen Mother spoils her too much]


    Logan took a sip from the ss of blood dangling in between his fingers. He acted like he wasn''t present there.


    "I meant Joanna Anderson," Tiffany said meekly.


    "Your Highness, please help me talk to my Grandpa so that he uplifts his punishment. Grandpa always listens to what you say. Please help me," Tiffany pleaded and reached out her hand to touch the Queen Mother''s handsid on the table.


    She slowly retracted her hand when her eyes met Tracy''s piercing res.


    If only her Grandpa didn''t pay deaf ears to hers and her father''s pleas then she wouldn''t have had to beg the Queen Mother.


    "I will see what I can do about it so don''t worry too much," Queen Mother Theresa forced a smile.


    As they talk Logan and Tiffany didn''t notice Queen Mother and her most trusted aide exchanging secret nces.


    They spent fifteen minutes at the dining before they moved to the Queen Mother''s visitor''s lounge.


    After staying in the pce for two hours Tiffany informed the Queen Mother about her desire to leave.


    "I would really love to stay some more but I am afraid Grandpa will be upset if he discovers that I left the house," Tiffany said as she tried to stand up from the couch she sat on.


    "If you did love to stay some more then do just that. Also, I have already had someone inform your Grandpa that two of you are here so you don''t have to worry," Queen Mother Theresa said meekly.


    Her excuse to make the two kids stay for a long time worked.


    [Let''s see whether your cunning grandfather won''t show up after he learns that his precious grandchildren are held hostages in the pce]


    Queen Mother Theresa grinned and took a sip from the golden cup in her hands.


    As all this scheming was going on, at Amos'' apartment Anthony was seenughing while ying with the toys Amos bought for him.


    While he ys Joanna was busy going through her school''s forum to get thetest campus news.


    "I can''t wait for Drey to return tomorrow," She beamed as she dropped her phone on the bed.


    Although she didn''t say it Joanna waited the entire day for Amos toe back. Her hopes began to falter when night draws nigh and she didn''t receive a text message or phone call from him.


    "Is he so busy that he can''t send a single text or call me even once?" She mumbled as she stared at her phone''s screen for the 100th time that day.


    Anthony turned and stared at his sister who has been speaking to herself for a while now like someone not in her right sense of mind.<novelnext></novelnext>


    "If you miss him then you can call him," Anthony suggested innocently. He was afraid she would gopletely insane if something wasn''t done about her condition.


    "What do you know about missing someone huh?" Joanna snapped. She unintentionally transferred her aggression onto her little brother.


    "He is the one who should call after leaving like that so why should I call him?" Joanna mumbled frowning.


    For fear that she might lose her temper again Anthony didn''t utter a word. He continued ying with his toys and acted like he wasn''t present there.


    Night finally reached and Logan and Tiffany were still at the pce. All their attempts to leave failed since the Queen Mother was always one step ahead of them.


    Mr Martinez was preparing to wee a visitor when Sniper entered the room.


    "Is Tiffany still with Her Highness in the pce?" He asked nonchntly as he extended his hand to drop his reading sses on the centre table.


    "Yes, she called to inform the mansion that she and Young Master Logan were still with the Queen Mother," Sniper replied.


    "Did you just say Logan is with her?" Mr Martinez quavered. His eyes bulged out of their sockets as he waited for Sniper''s confirmation.


    "Yes…,"


    "If he was with her then howe nobody told me about it?" Mr Martinez yelled and jumped to his feet.


    His reaction left Sniper confused. He recalled telling him about his grandchildren''s invitation to the pce and that is why he couldn''t understand why he was furious.


    Was there something about the Queen Mother''s invitation that he wasn''t aware of?


    "I did and you told me she could stay over there as long as she wanted…,"


    "That is because I believed Tiffany was the only one she invited," Mr Martinez snapped. "I didn''t know that she had the guts to take my grandson along".


    The once rxed man paced about the sitting room.


    "Now I understand where her aide''s haughtiness came from when she ryed the Queen Mother''s invitation to me," Mr Martinez muttered with his fist sped.


    He halted and peered at Sniper.


    "Get ready to leave for the pce immediately," He ordered and stomped upstairs.


    After Mr Martinez left to get changed into his official outfit, Sniper too exited the sitting room to get the car ready for their journey.


    Back at Amos'' home, they had finished dressing up and were ready to leave when Anthony brought up the previous argument they had concluded.


    "Big Sis, can''t I stay for one more night?" Anthony asked as he ran to the couch and sat down. "I don''t want to leave…,"


    "I thought we have already talked about this so why are you still bringing this up? Do you want to further upset me with your tantrums?" Joanna, who wasn''t in her best mood, questioned fiercely.
