"I guess he must be swamped with work," She said and strolled towards the bedroom. Anthony followed her not long after.

Inside the bedroom, he met Joanna neatly arranging his belongings in a red and white bag placed on the bed.

"Big Sis, shouldn\'t we wait for Brother Amos to return before you send me back home?" Anthony asked.

Joanna paused what she was doing and raised her gaze to look at his face. "I am not even sure whether he will return today so how can we wait for him...,"

"But...,"

"There is nothing that will stop me from sending you back home tonight so stop wasting your time and go freshened up so we can leave," Joanna cut him short.

She only continued with her arrangement after she saw him proceed to the bathroom.

Joanna also freshened up and changed outfits when Anthony was done showering.

After Joanna entered the bathroom, Anthony seized this opportunity to write some things down.

When he was done he carefully hid the piece of paper underneath where Amos kept his laptop.

He went about his things as if nothing had happened.

Despite everything that happened Joanna hoped Amos would arrive before she left for home but unfortunately he didn\'t show up.

She left for home feeling sad and frustrated.

Reaching the sitting room, the person she met there was none other than the grumpy Grandma Cora.

Through their scent, she could easily tell that other members of the family were in their respective rooms.

"Good evening Madam Cora," Joanna didn\'t forget to greet the elderly woman whose attention was focused on her cell phone.

As usual, Anthony let go of Joanna\'s hand and rushed to give Grandma Cora a big hug.

"Hmmm... my sweetie\'s face is literally glowing," Grandma Cora complimented and cupped Anthony\'s face.

The way she ignored Joanna was as if the young lady standing not far away from where she sat was invisible.

"Do you mind telling Grandma where you went to or what you did today to make you so happy?" Grandma Cora coaxed as she rubbed his hair affectionately.

"Yes, I am very happy Grandma," Anthony agreed. His broad smile radiated even more when he recalled the great time he had at the park.

"It shows all over you so I can see that," She replied. And didn\'t forget to smile along with him.

"So what special thing did you do? Do you mind letting Grandma know the secret of your happiness huh?"

The way Grandma Cora kept asking Anthony about what they did make Joanna suspect that she was trying to fish out information from Anthony.

[What is the old hag up to now? What exactly is she trying to find out by using cunning manners to interrogate her grandson?]

"Big Sis took me to....," Anthony paused when he recalled that Joanna would get into trouble if he mentioned that they went to the park which his Grandmother had forbidden.

He stole a glance at Joanna when he couldn\'t think of what to say.

"Yes, tell me what you did," She urged him.

"We went....," He paused the second time.

"We didn\'t go anywhere. I only gave him an extra plate of his favourite bacon dish at dinner that is why he is this happy," Joanna came to Anthony\'s rescue.

Grandma Cora, who acted like Joanna didn\'t exist, shifted her gaze in Joanna\'s direction. "Really?" She demanded, her fierce glares focused on Joanna.

"Yes," She replied firmly.

Grandma Cora\'s gaze turned deadly after Joanna\'s affirmation.

"If that is the case then have a look and tell me if that is the extra plate of bacon you prepared for him," She instructed and pushed her cell phone to the edge of the table.

Curious to see what this was about Joanna lowered her gaze and peered at the screen of the phone laid on the table.

Her gaze faltered when she set eyes on the picture in front of the screen.

"How dare you lie to my face, bastard!" Grandma Cora roared. She picked up the teacup in front of her and threw it at Joanna.

Joanna moved away in time just before the cup could land on her right eye.

[She left a permanent mark on my thigh and now she almost made me lose one of my eyes. When will she ever be satisfied huh?]

Joanna clenched her fist and shot the fuming woman a murderous glare.

"Did you just glare at me?" She demanded and sprang to her feet.

"I can see you have lost your damn mind so why don\'t I help you regain your sanity?"

She charged towards Joanna with her claws ready to slice anything that comes in her way.

Joanna waited for Grandma to get close enough.

"And then now," Joanna muttered and moved to the side with her right leg stuck out.

The furious woman stumbled on Joanna\'s stuck-out and lost balance. She staggered for a few seconds before she managed to regain her balance.

"How dare you trip me?" Grandma Cora roared. Her eyes transformed at that instant.

Joanna turned and looked at the couch Anthony was still sitting on. "Go upstairs to your room…,"

"But…,"

"I said now," Joanna ordered sternly. Anthony stood up from the couch. His eyes darted from Grandma Cora\'s angry face to Joanna\'s calm expression.

"I was the one who asked her to take me to the park so please don\'t hurt my Big Sis, Grandma," Anthony pleaded in his tiny voice.

If only he knew that powers had changed hands then he wouldn\'t have been so worried about Joanna.

Instead, he would have been worried about his Grandma and what Joanna would do to her.

Anthony reluctantly moved away from the sitting room when Joanna waved her right hand at him.

"Now that my grandson is not here, I won\'t have to worry about hurting his feelings…,"

"If I were you, I would be worried about myself old hag. Because from this moment onwards your reign is over," Joanna declared.

She took her stance with her legs slightly parted and clasped fists held close to her chest.

"I, Joanna Anderson will overthrow you from your tyranny rule".

An evil grin plastered on her face when she saw the elderly woman advance towards her.
