Chapter 26

* * *

Dana looked down at him with contemptuous eyes.

‘What a piece of trash.’

He truly was trash that didn’t deviate even slightly from her expectations.

If she had been defenseless and unaware, it really would have been a disaster.

‘I did well to assign a surveillance agent to Alice.’

Thanks to that, she was able to obtain information that Alice was bringing Juan before Juan actually arrived.

Upon hearing the news, Dana anticipated it.

Juan, cornered as he was, would definitely come looking for her.

He was a man with nothing left to lose. So he would try to make one last gamble somehow.

With the love potion, of course.

She thought it worked out perfectly. After all, hadn’t Viego, who had gone on a business trip, returned today?

This was an opportunity to spectacularly get rid of Juan.

So Dana.

“Everyone go rest early today. The atmosphere at the estate has been tense lately, so it must have been hard on you all, right?”

She ordered all the employees near the bedroom to leave work early.

So that Juan could safely come to her room.

And she had the surveillance agent she assigned leak information to Juan.

The information that Alice had personally sold moonlight flowers.

“Miss! Are you alright!”

“Are you safe, Miss!”

The servants and guards who belatedly heard the gunshot came rushing over. Dana smiled weakly at them.

“I’m fine.”

“Are you really alright, Miss?!”

“Who fired the gun!”

“I’m unharmed. And as for who fired the gun.”

Dana turned her head to look outside the window.

The side of the estate located opposite, a window visible in the distance.

“I’m not sure either.”

That place was Viego Windsor’s bedroom.

The secretary had informed her that Viego had returned from his business trip today and gone to bed early.

However, Dana knew.

That from Viego’s bedroom window, her room was directly visible.

Also, that Viego couldn’t fall into deep sleep and wouldn’t miss such a commotion.

So she had opened the window wide and stood in front of it, waiting for Juan to threaten her. So that Viego would become the perfect witness to this climax.

He would never tolerate a scoundrel who had snuck into his estate.

‘And Viego’s marksmanship is always excellent.’

His bedroom window was still shrouded in darkness, so nothing could be seen. However, Dana could be certain.

Viego Windsor would be there right now.

“S-sister?”

That’s when it happened.

“S-s-sister. Are you o-okay?”

Alice approached with a face as white as a blank sheet of paper. Panting and shedding tears as if in shock.

“How could such a thing happen, sob, what should we do. Sister, are you hurt anywhere?”

Dana stared at Alice intently before smiling. Then she delivered a pointed remark.

“Yes. It’s all thanks to you.”

At that moment, Alice flinched in surprise and looked at her. Dana just smiled back.

It would be troublesome if she got scared by just this much.

‘Your nightmare is just beginning, Alice.’

* * *

The Windsor Estate was turned upside down.

Juan Rolland. The man who had been expelled from the Windsor Estate had infiltrated and threatened Danae Windsor.

Viego Windsor did not let this slide.

He immediately lodged a strong protest with the Rolland Family and declared he would refer this incident to the Noble Court.

The Rolland Family paid out a huge sum in compensation. And they expelled Juan Rolland from the family.

They literally struck him completely from the family register.

“Karl, please do something about this!”

Her precious younger brother had fallen to become a criminal. Sandra shed tears as she appealed to Karl.

“Taking this to trial is too much. Juan will definitely be imprisoned. Juan’s life will be over! That’s too cruel!”

“Cruel?”

“Yes! Firing the gun in the first place was cruel. How could you do that? Juan lost his right arm!”

She wanted to protest if she could—but the sniper was Viego Windsor, the very head of this family.

Therefore, Sandra could only suffer in silence.

Viego Windsor had precisely embedded two bullets in exactly the same spot.

Even targeting the vital point where the nerves of the right arm were concentrated, making it impossible to cleanly remove the bullets, two shots in succession!

That was clearly intentional by anyone’s standards.

A malicious intent to sever Juan’s arm.

“Honestly, there was no need to use a gun! He could have just sent people to stop him!”

“Get a grip, Sandra. Do you think Juan is the only one in trouble right now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m the one who allowed Juan into the Windsor Family. I’m the one who entrusted the moonlight flower business to that bastard. For the sole reason that he was your brother.”

“Karl….”

“But that bastard tried to shoot and kill Dana, the head’s younger sister. And Viego witnessed it all.”

“S-still.”

“Now that this mess has happened, who do you think should take responsibility?”

Sandra’s face turned pale.

Only then did she realize that her husband was cornered.

“W-we can create someone else to take responsibility!”

The scales tipped quickly.

Nothing was more important to Sandra than Karl. Even if it was her younger brother!

“There must be someone who let Juan into the estate. We can catch that person and shift the responsibility to them!”

“That’s exactly what I’m thinking.”

Karl declared with a face as hard as an alloy.

“Someone helped Juan Rolland’s infiltration. That person will have to bear all responsibility for this incident.”

Then he smiled weakly and turned his head.

“So Alice. If you know anything, please tell us.”

“…Yes.”

Alice, who had been listening silently until now, could only smile quietly.

“I’ll do that.”

* * *

What should I do.

Alice bit her nails anxiously.

‘What should I do when Uncle Juan wakes up?’

Right now he was unconscious. Due to his severe arm injury.

However, they said his life wasn’t in danger, so he would open his eyes soon.

When that time came, they would interrogate him about who let him into the estate.

‘What if Uncle tells them everything?’

Tears welled up from fear. Alice pressed both hands against her eyes and sobbed.

She had only let Uncle Juan into the house with good intentions.

Her heart had been full of hope for family reconciliation, but that kind heart had once again become poison.

‘What if.’

Then suddenly a flash of inspiration crossed her mind.

‘What if it’s revealed that Uncle Juan was the one who caused the Moonlight Flower prices to crash.’

Then….

Wouldn’t my involvement be buried?

Yes, if that happened, no one would believe what Uncle said.

His claim that I secretly let Uncle into the estate might be dismissed as nonsense.

‘Right. That’s the only way.’

She had to act before Uncle woke up. Alice immediately went to find Viego.

“Brother, I have something to tell you.”

“What is it.”

“About the person who sold Moonlight Flowers at half price in the black market.”

At those words, Viego, who had been looking down at documents, raised his head.

His piercing green eyes seemed to see right through her, making her freeze to her toes.

“It’s Uncle Juan.”

There was nowhere left to retreat. Alice spoke with determination.

“Uncle Juan did that terrible thing.”

Yes, thinking about it, that really was a terrible thing to do.

Shouldn’t people who do bad things be punished? Wasn’t that the natural order?

Reporting such a person might be the most noble thing to do.

While she was thinking that.

“Who told you that?”

“Huh, what?”

“I’m asking what evidence you have for saying such a thing.”

Alice suddenly stopped breathing as if caught off guard.

However, under that gaze that seemed to dig into her very soul, she had no room to think. So.

“F-Father did.”

Without realizing it, she blurted out the truth.

“I heard Father talking with Mother about it.”

“….”

Viego put down his fountain pen. He clasped his hands together and stared at her intently, then.

“Louis.”

He summoned his secretary.

“Bring Vice Family Head Karl here.”

At that moment, a strong sense of unease struck Alice.

Why Father?

“B-Brother. You could just ask me. I heard everything Mother and Father were talking about.”

“You’re not needed. I need to ask Vice Family Head Karl. Why he had such a conversation. And.”

Viego spoke in a low voice.

“I need to know why he kept it hidden until now, even while thinking that.”

Finally Alice realized.

That she had just made a very big mistake.
