Heart Hunting

Chapter 2

Poppy stays out all night. However, Ethel gets up early in the morning and she intentionally goes to

Poppy's bedroom to see if she is at home.

Looking at the empty bed in Poppy's bedroom, Ethel smiles triumphantly. She thinks this time she can

finally kick Poppy’s ass.

She goes to the first floor and picks up the morning paper in a good mood, hoping to see how Poppy

has made a fool of herself. But in the front page, the hot red word was "The CEO of Dakings-explosive

personal addiction?”

The CEO of Dakings?

“Kenny!”

Ethel screams out. she stares at the ambiguous pictures of two men embracing in the morning paper.

Although the face of Kenny's picture is blurring, she can still recognize his figure and outline.

She clutches the newspaper, and her eyebrows twists into knots. she feels so weird and a little creepy.

Why does the person in the room become Kenny?

At this time, Poppy, who has done "a good job" all night, comes back. She glances at Ethel in the living

room and sees her wry face. Poppy deliberately passes by her, hums a light tune in satisfied, and

walks towards the second floor.

Ethel hears the sound. she grabs her, and asks sharply, "Poppy, what did you do last night?”

Obviously, she pushed Ethel’s boyfriend out to be a clown!

Poppy's eyes turns sharp, her red lips raises a sarcastic smile. She shakes off Ethel's hand and asks,

"Ethel, my dear sister, shouldn't you be the most clear one who knows what I have done?

Ethel stares at Poppy, and trembles with anger. Her eyes are full of criticism, which stimulates her

sensitive nerves. She raises her hand to slap Poppy, but Poppy is faster than her. She gives Ethel a

crisp slap.

Ethel covers his sore face and scolds angrily, "you bitch, how dare you to hit me. You are just a bastard

left by my father and garbage picked up by my mother from outside!”

On the contrary, Poppy is calm. She picks up a tissue and rubs her hands in disgust.

After that, she throws the tissue away, looks at Ethel with her cold eyes and smiles lightly.

"Unfortunately, your boyfriend is attracted by me, your so-called garbage. Do you know what we did

last night? To be honest, I didn't expect that Kenny is so gorgeous. His chest is so sexy and...”

"Shut up! Ethel cut off Poppy's words and reaches for her hair, but Poppy grabs Ethel's wrist tightly.

She has been working since she was a child. Ethel is not her match at all.

"Ouch, it hurts!" Ethel's palms become numb and her wrists are tingling.

Poppy's eyes flash a gleam of vicious. She pulls Ethel to herself and says, "Ethel, next time you want to

find me some trouble, then be smart. Don't play such a naive trick, otherwise...I'll fix you in return!”

Her red lips raises a furious laugh.

"You bitch!...Ouch!" Ethel can't stand her irritation. She yells at Poppy, and her other hand tries to hit

Poppy, but is grabbed.

Looking at her painful face, Poppy feels very delight. She breaks her hand hard, which makes Ethel's

forehead sweat.

"My mom shouldn't have kept you here!...Ouch...my hand...”

Poppy's eyes flashes a gleam of vicious. "Yes, ten years ago, your mother should strangle me.

Unfortunately, you don't have this chance now...”

"What are you doing?” A voice of authority from the stairs interrupts Poppy.

When Ethel sees her parents coming, she immediately calls for help. "Dad, mom, help me. This bitch

wants to break my hand!”

The quarrel between Poppy and Ethel downstairs wakes up their parents Bryant and Hilda. Hilda

rushes push Poppy away and protects her daughter behind her. She gets angry. "Poppy, what do you

want to do? Are you trying to hit Ethel?”

Ethel's cheeks becomes reddish and her eyes are watery. she bites her lower lip and complains, "Mom,

dad, look at my face, she hit me just now!”

Poppy puts her hands around her chest. She ignores her parents' eyes and admits, "Yeah, I hit her.

She deserve it.”

"Poppy, I order you to apologize to Ethel at once! " Bryant comes closer and berates her.

"Apologize? She doesn't deserve it!" Poppy ignores her father and walks slowly to the sofa to sit down.

Ethel is pissed off. She stamps her feet and shows Hilda the morning paper. "Mom, look at the news.

She played a trick to make fool of Kenny.

Hilda looks at the front page of the newspaper and gives Poppy a fierce look. Looking at Poppy's

delicate face which is like her mother, Hilda's is in a steaming rage caused by jealous.

She points at Poppy and says, "Poppy, I can bear you to bully your sister at home. But you even covets

Kenny. What else don’t you dare to do?”

There is a deep hatred in Poppy's eyes. She says ironically, "how can I match you guys for what you

have done? I don't even know how you've survived all these years without conscience, but sooner or

later, my mom's ghost will come to you. Just wait and see!"

"Shut up!” Bryant yells at her, "don't be ridiculous!”

“What, you feel guilty? I'll never forget how my mom died.” Poppy glares at the three of them with her

sharp and chilling eyes.

In contrast to Bryant's guilty conscience, Hilda rightfully accuses her of "we've been raising you for ten

years, but you are so ungrateful!”

"Yes, I've always been an ungrateful person. If you don't want to see me, why not send me abroad?”

Such a big home is like a cage that imprisons her. Only when she rushes out of here can she have new

hope.

Hilda's eyes flashes a gleam of vicious. Suddenly, she smiles unnaturally, "you want to go abroad?

Fine, I will contact with the American schools for you today, and tomorrow you will fly to the United

States to enroll.”

Ethel is shocked when she hears it. she takes her mother's arm, "mom!”

Her mom once said she was going to keep an eye on that bitch!

Poppy gives Hilda a cool look. She's already figured out Hilda's plan. But anyway, leaving here is

exactly her own purpose! Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

With her red lips curled, Poppy stands up with a haughty glance at Hilda. "Thank you, auntie. I'll go

pack now.”

She turns and walks upstairs, then her smile cools down.

One day, she will return from nirvana, and revenge for her mother. She will let this family pay for her

mother's death!

When Poppy leaves, Ethel looks worried. "Mom, how can you promise her to go abroad?”

"What's the hurry? I can't control this little bitch now. There will only be endless troubles if we keep her

around.” Hilda's eyes is full of vicious, and her hand makes a gesture across her neck.

Both of them understand it quickly, but Bryant's heart has a little compassion. "Hilda, Poppy is my

daughter after all, don't you think it's too cruel for her?

Hilda looks back at Bryant, her eyes are filled with cruel light, "cruel? who can be more cruel than her?

All these years, the gas pipe leakage, the fire and the broken leg of Ethel last year happened in our

family, which one of them has nothing to do with her? Look at the news again, she even made fool of

Kenny this time. If you keep her around, she will revenge for her dead mother and kill us all sooner or

later!”

Ethel also fans the flames, "dad, would you like her or us to die?”

After hearing this, Bryant's face becomes gloomy, and his eyes is dimmer. He stops talking.

Hilda and Ethel look at each other, Their eyes flash with ruthlessness!

Poppy, who hides in the dark corner of the second floor, listens to their words with a cold smile on her

lips. They want to kill her after she goes to Brain? Wait and see if they have the ability!
