"Alright. Since you know everything, I'll drop the act." Claude looked pale, but his words only made things more infuriating. "I just don't want Santiago to get away with it."

"If you don't want him to get away with it, there are plenty of ways. Why harm my mom?" Pearl couldn't contain her anger.

Claude was getting agitated. Looking stern, he raised his voice, "Santiago has always been cautious. I've never seen him care so much about someone.
