"I once was, but as time went on and as I got to know more about how English language works and everything, I started to have doubts about my Grandpa's method."

@Norin_76 @karimama12 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #49 "So I decided to head for Japan to find Mom. When I found out her whereabouts, Mom became a leader of anti-TOEIC party. Mom said she was sometimes harassed by hard-core fans and one night someone broke into her house."Norin said. "I think the person stole this diary."

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #51 The question rendered the atmosphere around them into a hushed silence. After what felt like hours, Norin broke out, "I'll come clean and reveal everything. I'll write a book on their wrongdoings instead and see how police reacts." "Then, you'll need to go somewhere safe."

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #52 "And," Nick inserted himself and said, "I think you ought to complete your English book as well. That's what your mother may have wanted you to do anyway." "True." Norin nodded. "Okay then, I'll incorporate my family's dark secret into my English book. How does that sound?"

@karimama12 @Akko1454 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #53 "Perfect." They both agreed. "Right. Now that we're settled, we gotta get a move on. Andrea, would you help me find a publisher who can put out a book at short notice? The faster the book comes out, the better." "Peace of cake!" Andrea whipped out the phone to make calls.

I'll make sure no words will get out." They all exchanged glances and broke out in a smile. "Thank you both, I really appreciate it."

@Norin_76 @karimama12 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #55 Three months later, when Norin's first book was published, it became a bestseller. Her paternal family was charged with conspiracy. The old lady was Grandpa's mistress. She disguised as the grandma in the stolen picture. Which was a scene from "Little Snow White".

@Norin_76 @karimama12 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #56 Norin also found out who called her through the lady's telephone. The call Norin picked up was from a TOEIC narrator. The British one. That's why the voice was familiar to her. All solved. Now Norin was totally safe. Slouching back on the sofa, she thought, looking back,

@Akko1454 @karimama12 @Zurappe @yukofukurou @dustjacketdiva @mimi_summer_ @mimimi_run #57 "One missing piece in my life is my mother. I wonder if she read my book?" Sipping her coffee, Norin went down memory lane and thought of her long-lost mother. All of a sudden, a phone call broke the silence and the caller knocked Norin's socks off. "Mom?!" ... THE END
