Valentino thought about the risk of giving up his daughter's crime to his family members. But the risks outweighed the benefits.
He knew for a fact that his relationship with his brother would turn frigid if Alberto ever found out that Valerie was responsible for Lucas's death. He also knew how Valerie's crime would ruin his reputation in the family. It could lead to chaos.
Having analysed all these worrisome possibilities, Valentino decided to bury Valerie's crime in the depths of his heart. He consoled himself with the thought that Valerie didn't shoot Lucas directly even though she hired the people who did it.
"I haven't found the killers yet, Lucy. But I have my suspicion. This cannot be the work of one man. It takes more than one person to kill someone, remove the bullet from the corpse and dispose of the body at a hospital, undetected."
"I totally agree with you, Val. This is the work of a professional assassin." Uncle Pablo concurred.
