"We have gathered enough evidence under your mother's rule that it is your grandmother who ordered Urias to shoot you" Aries informed me. Nasa loob pa rin ako ng ospital and it is already 2 weeks. 2 weeks had passed at ngayon pa lang namin nasasaayos ang mga bagay na ito

Elaina is at school, if you're wondering, dealing with the student council and stuff. Hindi naman kasi siya pwedeng laging wala doon. After all, she is the Student Council President

I drank the warm water that was given by the nurse and glanced at my reapers "Break Urias and send him to the lion's den. Although it wouldn't help us due to the fact that my grandmother is as powerful as I am, him going to jail would bring disgrace to her and I would like to see her annoyance" nakangisi kong ani

"Urias is tough, Mademoiselle, but we will do everything we can to make him speak" Artemis assured. I then turned to Apollo "Nakabalik na ba sina Obsidian at Mnemosyne sa France?" tanong ko

The blonde nodded "They took the earliest flight, Mademoiselle. Naka maintenance kasi ang private plane natin and Madame Obsidian told us that it would increase suspicion to your grandmother" sambit ni Apollo

I only raised a brow at his words "She just wants to have Mnemosyne all by herself in first class" I commented. The three couldn't help but smile at my joke

"How about my sister, Olivia? How is she handling the hotel?" tanong ko. Aries smiled "She's been doing well after you had given her the opportunity of handling one of your business"

"Ah, I see you and my sister have a thing for each other. Hindi ba, Aries?" I snickered. He then looked away to blush. Hay na ko, kalaki laking tao napapamula lang nang kapatid ko

Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto as I saw a familiar face in my room. I fixed my posture. Anong ginagawa ng second rated detective na to dito?

"Detective Dawson, I didn't expect your presence here" sambit ko as I smiled. The three reapers settled down on the side to give space to the newcomer

The arrogant flashed a victorious smile "I was tasked by your grandmother to solve your case, Miss Valmont" he bowed his head a little

Wait. Is he one of Grandmother's men? But I do believe he is a virtuous man!

I flashed a smile "I see. Mukhang interesado ka sa pagkakabaril ko, Detective. Besides, it is not a big of a deal. I have given my lawyers my statement and they will send it to the chief of police aka your boss" sambit ko as I waved my hand to my reapers. Tutal nakasuot na sina Apollo at Artemis ng pormal, they should play the role of being lawyers. Si Aries kasi nakita na laging kasama ni Ate kaya malamang iisipin nila na assistant ko siya

"It is our duty to uncover the truth, Miss. Tsaka, hindi ba at nakakatakot iyon sa inyo? After all, nabaril kayo kasama ang wife niyo. Nakakatakot naman kung pati siya ay-"

"Hindi mangyayari yon dahil protektado siya lagi so I suggest you stop creating scenarios with my wife in it. I will protect her no matter what" I coldly spoke. How dare he drag Elaina into this?!

Dawson smiled apologetically yet sinister to my eyes "Of course, of course. I apologize, Miss Valmont. Wouldn't want to upset you with your reapers here"

Nanlaki naman ang mata ng mga reapers ko. Oh? He's challenging me dahil ang lola ko ang nasa likod niya? He turned to be a crooked one now huh?

"Whatever do you possibly mean, Detective? I think masyado kang nagbabasa ng mga storyang hindi kaaya aya and you think my assistant and lawyers are so called reapers" I confidently said

"I know everything about you already, Miss Mafia Boss. I only need evidence especially the death of Nikitin" nakangising sambit ng detective

"Oh? Well I sure hope you have evidence of me ruling a mafia, Mr. Dawson" I replied. I faked a cough as I drank the water. Bigla namang lumapit sina Artemis sa akin, showing to this imbeciles that I feel unwell

"Miss Valmont will answer to you when she is ready, please leave" Apollo spoke. Umalis naman ang detective kasama ang mga alagad niya

I sighed "He's getting on my nerves" komento ko at nahiga. Artemis fixed my blanket "Will we get rid of him now?" tanong naman ni Aries as I shook my head

"Let him play arrogant. It won't last long. Kung tuta talaga siya ni tanda, might as well we take some information from him and let him dig his own grave" I told them as they nodded

"Focus on dealing with Urias then report to me quickly. Also, make sure to give protection on my family. Mnemosyne is already with Obsidian and Kreios is with Elaina. I'm sure Aries here would protect my sister Olivia. Shield my brother William and my mother Athena" I added. The three bowed at my presence "Of course, Miss Valmont"

The three left the room as I sighed. Dagdag pasakit na naman yan si Adeo. Although, I hope he did not fall into the corruption of my grandmother. Sayang siya. He could be the new face of justice in the future
