Under the warm sunshine, the truck circled into Grande's backyard. The back door was pushed open, and the vampire jumped out of the car. He first said hello to Laura who unexpectedly appeared here, then waved to Matthew who was sitting in front of the two girls talking, pointed at Alpha in the car, and prepared to go to the office. Walk.
Matthew, the wolf cub, listened to Alpha's instructions energetically, threw the shovel into the trunk and got into the car.
Benjamin, who had just returned, did not turn off the engine at all. As soon as Matthew got in, the truck started moving again and circled out of Grand's backyard, aiming for the cemetery to the west.
"Hey!" Laura frowned and shouted at Zach's back, "You took away the person I was chatting with! Come here! Be your replacement!"
Zach was already standing on the back porch. He turned around and looked at the two girls lying on the hammock. Alice looked listless and melancholy, not knowing what she was distressed about, while Laura next to her looked impatient. look.
Zach tilted his head, "My name is not 'Hey', it's Zachary." Zach corrected the girl's address in a lengthy manner, "Zach or Grande are fine, but it can't be 'Hey'."
Laura rolled her eyes and pointed to the chair next to the hammock, "It's you! Come here instead!"
Alice seemed to react, stood up slightly, shook Laura, glanced at Zach carefully, and complained softly to her friend, "Laura!"
"What are you doing!" Laura looked at Alice angrily, "You're not accompanying me! If I ask you what you're thinking, you won't tell me! Otherwise, I'll have to talk to Jin!"
The head of a Great Dane poked out from behind the kitchen window. After observing it for a moment, he made sure that no one was really calling him, then he retreated back.
Alice also looked embarrassed, pursed her lips, and said nothing further. The banshee herself is caught in the entanglement of 'fireflies'. But I can't talk to my friends, which is quite helpless.
"You!" Laura rolled her eyes. Alice, this friend, is good at everything, but it's very frustrating that she shrinks down whenever something happens. Laura continued to look at Zach on the back porch, "You took Matthew away, come here to replace him! Chat with me!"
Zach raised an eyebrow. This 'accusation' makes no sense. Zach pointed in the west direction, "It was Benjamin who took Matthew away. You should blame him."
Laura suddenly became anxious, the girl's face became fierce, she sat up in the hammock, and stared at Zach fiercely.
Zach raised his hand and shook it, surrendering. Zach smiled and said, "Wait a moment." He turned around and entered the back door. However, after a while, it actually came out again against the sun.
Zach carried a wine bottle and lazily walked to the hammock. He slumped on the chair in an inconspicuous manner. In front of the two girls, he fiddled with the cork and started typing again as if nothing happened just now. Say hello, "Hi. Lola."
Laura pursed her lips and looked at Zach’s appearance. A perfect image of an alcoholic, he began to regret having brought this alcoholic here. He impatiently lay back on the hammock and gave an order, "Shake!"
Zach shook his head helplessly, holding the wine bottle in one hand. Pushing the edge of the hammock with one hand, he asked, "Why are you here today? Is the exam over?"
Laura closed her eyes, looking too lazy to answer.
Zach shook his head, the girl's thoughts were really hard to fathom. Didn't she ask Zach to come and chat? ! Alice, who was lying next to Laura, stuck her head out. He looked over Laura's body and gave the vampire an apologetic look. Zach shook the bottle in his hand and tilted his head indifferently.
"Where's Kepler?" Zach randomly picked up a topic, "Isn't she here?"
Laura’s eyelids moved, her lips pursed, but still no response.
Zach raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sky through the dark wine bottle, "Will Kyle come back during the summer vacation?"
Laura turned her head and stared at Zach with her open eyes, "Can't you shake quietly."
Zach blinked, "Aren't you coming back?"
Laura frowned, staring at Zach who kept pursed his lips, as if suppressing the anger that might burst out at any time.
Zach, or even Alice, never asked Laura if she knew that Grande was the direct reason why Kyle was sent away from Barton. She should know more or less, but seeing as she was still able to maintain a friendship with Grande, she probably went through the period of Kyle's transformation, and had no intention of blaming Grande.
Laura snorted, turned her head, and said something jumpy, "I won't be able to catch the graduation prom when I get back."
Zach raised his eyebrows and suddenly said something more radical, "Are you here to invite Matthew to be the best man at the prom?"
Laura exploded and sat up from the hammock with a gasp! "You don't need to shake it!!"
Zach curled his mouth, blinked, and looked at Laura, whose face was red. No wonder Matthew was summoned away. This girl who rarely provoked the master of Grande would vent her anger on Zach! It seems that before we even get to this crucial point, the people are gone, and the nameless resentment cannot be vented!
"You hurry up!" Laura pushed Zach, which had no effect except making the hammock she was sitting on intensify the shaking and frightened Alice who didn't know what was going on. "You don't need to be here anymore!"
Zach smiled, stabilized the swaying hammock, stood up, made an understanding expression, and turned around to leave. As she stepped onto the back porch, she heard Alice quietly ask, "What is the prom..."
Having found a common topic for the two girls, Zach's mission is over.
Back in the office, Zach has some time to himself. He took out the check from his pocket and handed it to Louise, who was taking care of the plants in the living room out of boredom.
Louise was still holding a small pair of scissors in one hand, and the scissors that were supposed to cut off excess branches cut directly to the main trunk!
"So much!" Louise lowered her voice. This is the largest payment Grande has received so far! The smart woman frowned immediately. This was not normal!
It's natural to be richer than Sharp, but you don't have to be so generous! Maybe everyone can't understand this. Look the other way.
Smith's entrustment is related to the interests of the Smith family, and it has a direct impact! According to the relationship between supply and demand, Smith's commission should be the largest that Grande has taken over.
But this time Sharp gave more than Smith. It is abnormal for a commission that will not have a direct impact on the family's interests to receive such a generous reward.
Zach watched Louise frown as she stared at the check, admiring her reaction speed. "In addition, there was a secret funeral, which Benjamin and Matthew went to deal with. And..." Zach paused, "for someone. The aftermath, the reward for completely erasing the evidence. Together, there’s this check.”
This is Bishop's choice.
When Zach asked this question in the back seat, the man’s incompetence was not surprising at all! He couldn't make any decisions. So, the truck drove back to the gate of Bishop Manor. Zach's exact words were, "Go back and let the people who can make the decision make the decision, and then come back and tell us."
Then the useless man returned to the manor languidly, discussed with the person he needed to consult, and returned to the Grande truck with the results and the signed check.
There is no exaggeration in saying that this man is incompetent. His exact words to Zach were as follows:
"Father and mother decided..."
The real client behind him was revealed right away. Just as Zach said and thought, they are two old people from the first generation in the West District.
"Just disappear. If the murderer missed it, please ask Grande to help erase it more thoroughly..."
The term 'murderer' comes from Zack's reference to Sharpe. The theory that the murderer wanted Hailey and her son to disappear also came from Zach. Then the murderer's hands and feet were not very clean, and Zach still found the body and the evidence that could identify the identity-teeth, which is what Zach said.
After Zack distorted the facts and fed back such news, the real client of the commission decided to follow the 'murderer's' course.
As for the reason, Zach doesn't need to know.
The facts are facts, Hailey and her son are no longer here, and Jackson is once again the only descendant of Bishop.
Grande also stated once again that competing for interests is not within Grande's scope of service. If you continue, you are welcome to use the clues Grande found to find the police. And Zach used the obvious meaning of 'an anonymous phone call, the murderer is easily at hand', which means that the evidence Grande has is enough to convict someone in the Bishop family (Bishop's wife) !
It's not up to Zach to decide whether the family will split. Whether the two elders of Bishop's first generation are prepared to endure it temporarily or give up has nothing to do with Zach. The only thing confirmed was that they had a consensus that it was not a good idea to leave this matter to the police. As for whether there is any action behind the scenes, it is none of Grande's business.
What Zach should have said has been conveyed, and the rift has been opened. How he faces it depends on Bishop himself.
"Make sure that all this disappears completely, and no clues can be traced back to anyone in Bishop." After Bishop finished speaking, he said ridiculously, "Thank you for everything you have done for Bishop."
The joke is on Zach. Apart from lying, cheating, framing, and frame-up, what did he really do
Therefore, this check is not just a reward for retrieving Hailey, but also a second subsequent commission - to destroy all incriminating evidence for the murderer that may point to 'her'!
Louise looked at the check, thought for a moment, and nodded. Looking at Zach, who had no expression and didn't know what he was thinking, he suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth, shook the check in his hand, and raised his eyebrows, "Then-" She lengthened her voice and used a soft questioning tone, " Should we give half of it to Sibella? After all, she is the one who really 'takes care of the aftermath'."
Zach curled his lips. It is simply unbelievable that the woman in front of me actually used this method to pull herself out of the inexplicable emotions. The shame of not doing anything good turned into the joy of gaining money for nothing!
"No!" Zach hugged Louise and smiled, "Of course not! This is Grande's money!" (..)
