Rose grabbed her phone as soon as she stepped into her room and called Liam. Liam picked her call immediately. "I need you to help me find the person who sent a video of my sister slapping someone to the Royal University," Rose said hastily without waiting for him to say a word or even care to exchange pleasantries.
Liam did not find that pleasing especially because she was asking for help with something that concerned her foster sister. "I will ask some people to look into that. I will call you as soon as they find out," Liam assured her trying hard to remain calm despite how unhappy her felt. The only joy he found in the phone call was the fact that he got to hear Rose's voice.
"Thanks then," Rose said pulling the phone away from her ear. She had to try calling Anna to know where she went and if she was okay.
"It is my pleasure. Are you okay?" Liam asked her worriedly but his words were not heard by her and the answer he got was the beeping sound indicating that Rose had hung up.
Rose exhaled tiredly as she began to call Anna but Anna kept cutting her call off. After the first and second trial, she decided to patiently wait for Anna to return home hoping she was alright and did not go to do anything stupid. The only person that came to her mind as she sat down on a sofa in the area of her room was the late Coleman.
Coleman was the only person who might have a motive to do such a thing to avenge Claire but Coleman was dead and unable to do anything of that sort. She racked her brain for any other person who could have done that. She ticked Liam's name out of the short list of people she came up with for reasons she could not point out.
A little part of her felt such method was below Liam and she could not just see him doing such thing. His methods will definitely be direct because for all these while she has known him, he only seem to use direct methods to get what he want and this method might actually be direct for a few people but definitely not Liam.
If only Liam who was sulking about Rose calling him in such a short hurried manner to seek for help for her foster sister that he clearly did not like knew what Rose was thinking at this moment and the height of her expectations of him . . .

"You don't look good," a young man said as soon as he opened the door of his house for his young girlfriend to go in.
"I don't feel good," Anna said truthfully. "I found out the reason why I did not get accepted into the Royal university. Someone sent a video to them. Why should a video destroy the fact that I deserve to get accepted? I am smart and whatever I did in high school should not affect me in university, right?" Anna asked angrily as she walked into his living room.
"The Royal University has a lot of people from all over the world who wants to be their student but they have a limit of the number of students they can accept so they carry out an evaluation of the behavior of the students when they have too much applicants who are qualified.
"They check the records of the student from junior high to high school. In special occasions where the video gets sent to them, they will find it hard to accept such student. Must students aspiring to get accept try to be in their best behavior," Steve explained to Anna taking his time to explain it to her. "You might have not noticed but your sister tried her best to avoid trouble while in high school."
"Rose is gentle and elegant naturally. She is not that way at school alone but she is that way at home too. I spent a lot time with her before we went to high school and she has always been that way," Anna told him easily without thinking about what he said seriously.
"Do you remember that you told me that you had to beat up a few guards at home to convince your foster parent that you could stop being home schooled? Just imagine if someone got the video of it and decided to send it your school? I don't think they will want to accept a student who might possibly kill a few of their guards," he reminded her sternly not bothering to sugar coat it.
Anna sighed none of what he was saying was helping her present situation. She was beginning to regret her past actions and there no regret that feels good. "I should not have done those things," Anna said in a small sad voice with her head bowed like a child who just received some serious scolding.
"You did them because you had to. If you had not beaten them up, then you could have been home schooled till the end of high school and we might have never met. The girl Claire, she deserved the beating she got from you. You did all those things because they were unavoidable and there is nothing wrong with what you did. I think the person who is at fault is the person who sent the video to them," he reminded her of the person she should direct her anger towards which was not her.
"You said you know how to hack, right?" Anna asked. The new hope she felt made her lift up her head and look at him with her eyes shining.
"Yes," he said nodding his head as though he was not sure of his skills. "I . . ."
Knowing he was about to refuse to help her hack the school system, she shook her head furiously. "I know you can do it. You are a genius after all. Help me find out who sent the video to the school or how they got to know that such a video existed although I doubt if they actually looked for it themselves. Help me please, uh?" Anna begged with her best puppy eyes looking up at him.
Steve gulped the lump down his throat and nodded although appearing a little hesitant.
"Thank you," Anna told him in jubilation. If she could find the person, then she could know who to direct her anger to and who to seek revenge from. When Steve sat in front of his computer and began trying to get into the school's website first since it was most likely sent to the school through their website.
She thought of the culprit being a few people before eliminating them one by one after careful evaluation. On the list, people like a friend of Claire with whom Claire was talking to when she heard the new born rumor from Claire and very few people including Coleman whom she cancelled immediately his name as soon as it crossed her mind and few others which she eliminated from her thoughts.
After watching Steve use his computer for close to half an hour while she stood waiting made her really tired and finally she could slightly relax. The first heat she felt from the whole drama had finally cooled off and she pulled a stool close to his work desk and sat on it after getting a glass of cold water.
"How long is it going to take?" she asked looking at the screen unable to understand half of what was on the screen.
"It will be done soon. It was not sent to them through their website so I am going to check the school's official email," he replied as he continued his work with his eyes fixed on the screen before him and his hands working fast to give him what he wanted.
"Thanks once again for helping me," she appreciated sincerely. She doubted if Wayne will be able to hack into the school's website and email. It was her good luck that she had who was willing to help since her only left option, Jace will not offer her any help.
Seeing he was already making progress, she found began feeling very anxious. She felt a rush of eager ness make her stand up and stood beside him when he glanced at her.
"What did you find?" she asked looking up at his identical black eyes expectantly.
"I . . ." he began and glanced at her again obviously hesitating to tell her anything. He shook his head firmly and continued typing on the keyboard of his computer.
"I want to know who sent the video to them and how the person did it," Anna said slowing getting pissed off.
"I think you should see it yourself," Steve said moving his swivel chair back from the table and pointed at a part of the screen.
