"I hope you know what you're doing, Valerie. I want this to be over soon and my house clear of spies. Father's willing to pretend to be sick for at least a few months..father is worried about Jasper as his physical condition is still unstable," Arthur Dubois spoke to her as he lay on the bed.

"I see, father..I'm sorry this situation has become so annoying, but Florentia needs me," Valerie said weakly.
