Back at the present.
There's still two hours more before the official ribbon cutting. In the dining hall, some tables were tumbled while a few chairs were broken. A bullet hole was seen on one of the tables lying on the floor. There were only a handful of people in the room, Beauty's father, mother, and five other restaurant staff were in there. They were scared to see Cathy holding a gun in the middle of the dining hall.
"Clarence, I'm here. Where are you? I'm here for the retribution."
"Who are you? Why're you rampaging here?" asked Beauty's father, Rodney Ferol while held his wife in a hug.
"Clarence had a debt to pay, I came to collect the pay."
"What debt? What pay?" asked Bella with a confused face. Did Clarence made a big loan to this woman and she's here for the pay? She wondered. Everything to her was vague.
"You're not involved in this. Outta my way."
Her memories were clear. She was totally humiliated. The past came back to her in flashes.
