“So that is why Wyatt is closing the card boutique in sky blossom city,” Susan narrated everything that happened to Corey in the process of explaining to her why Wyatt was closing the card boutique.

“Then what about you? Aren’t you angry that he is abandoning you? After all, you were his exclusive manager. You trusted him more than me. Look how that heartless bastard is leaving you without warning.” Corey did not care what happened with Wyatt. He could die or be swallowed by a giant python. Susan is the only one she cares about.

“Corey, Wyatt did not betray me. All he is trying to do is get a better education. Do not overthink it.” Susan did not know how to make this stubborn girl understand that nobody has betrayed anybody.

All this confusion could be washed away if Susan just told Corey that Wyatt was bringing her along with him to manage the Card boutique he would be opening in Central academic city. But she was worried that if she informed Corey that, then Corey would spiral again. According to Susan, Corey was in a delicate spot. Therefore, to not trigger Corey again, Susan decided to find a perfect moment to tell Corey that she would be leaving Sky blossom City soon.

“Big Sis, you are too naive. But do not worry. This is also good for us. This way, you no longer have to be his exclusive manager. And can join my card studio as my partner. Finally, we both can work together as a team.” Corey was delighted to hear Wyatt would be leaving Sky blossom city to pursue higher studies. With that mother stealing bastard gone, she could have mama Susan for herself. They could start by working together, then move in together and live like a family as they used to in their past life back on earth. Of course, She will be kicking her overprotective grandpa out.

“…” Hearing Corey make future plans for them, Susan became speechless.

“Big Sis, do not worry my ability in card creation is a lot better than Wyatt. Before he even graduates, we will have built our empire in the card creation industry and show him what he missed out on. This will be our revenge on him for betraying you. Let him die suffering from jealousy.” Corey’s dream did not stop with moving in with her mother and kicking out her grandpa, but together with her card creation skills and Susan’s management skill, they conquered the card creation industry of the world.

“…” Morally struggling, Susan was hesitating whether to hurt her friend by telling the truth or not. Meanwhile, Susan’s friend, who considers her as her past life’s mother, was daydreaming and making plans to dominate the world with her mother from her past life.

“Big sis, what do you say? Now You have no reason to reject becoming a partner in my card studio. Shall we sign a contract while we are at it? I have been carrying it with me since the day you rejected me, just in case.” Summoning her grimoire Corey took out a soul contract.

“What the..?” Seeing the Soul contract, the whole thing Corey just talked about started to become vivid to Susan, and she realized that she no longer had a choice but to tell the entire truth to Corey.

“Big Sis, no need to read the contract. Everything here is the same old. Just a drop of your blood, and we can live together for the rest of our life.” In excitement, the words that Corey was supposed to speak in her mind started to pour out unknowingly.

If the Soul contract was not a red flag enough, ‘live together’ and ‘rest of our lives’ were the last push Susan needed to push the baby bird named Corey packing out of the nest and down the cliff, “Corey, we need to talk.”

“If you want to read the contract, go ahead. It’s a wise choice to never sign a contract without reading it thoroughly. Big Sis, you are so smart.” Corey showered Susan with praises. Hoping Susan would just sign the damned contract already while the Iron is hot.

“No, Corey, I am not signing a damned soul contract. Would you please stop your daydreams and listen to what I have to say?” Susan grabbed Corey by her shoulder and restricted her to one place, and looking into her eyes, she sternly asked Corey to listen.

“Okay, what is it?” With Susan’s stern voice, Corey got down from her cloud nine. And seriously listened to what Susan had to say.

“Corey, when Wyatt moves to the central academic city, he is planning to open a card boutique in the central academic city. And has asked me to manage it.” Susan finally informed Corey of the dreaded information she was withholding.

“Tell me you rejected him.” Corey’s bright eyes grew dim and dark. Her cheerful voice turned eerie.

“I accepted the offer. After all, I am his exclusive manager, and it’s good for my future.” Having broken the dam, all the words that Susan withheld flowed out.

“…” Corey was heartbroken. Hearing that even Susan is going to leave her behind. Just like her birth parents in this world.

“Corey, you will also soon graduate high school. And have to attend college. This was never meant to last… Corey, are you listening to me? Corey?!” Susan wanted to console Corey. But she found that Corey was not paying attention. Her expression had turned ashen and dark. Her eyes were lifeless. Susan tried shaking her in search of a response, but Corey did not respond to her calls.

“Corey! Corey! Listen to me. Follow my voice! Do not give in to the influence of the demon core, Corey! Listen to me, this is not a big deal. So what if Mama Susan is going to the central academic city. You can go too. After all, with your talent, any of the top 10 universities will accept you. All you have to do is get into the same college as Wyatt, and then you can once again work together with mama Susan.” Worrying that the title demon core would morph Corey Bright’s consciousness Corey Park’s yell trying to lead Corey back into the light. Her words reverberated in Corey Bright’s mind, but there was no response from Corey.
