At the same time, in the safe house where Patricia was currently staying…
Patricia hugged her knees, her back against the headboard. She stared blankly at the wall across the room, her lips drawn into a tight line.
A few hours ago, when she went down to the kitchen for something to eat, she saw something… surprising. It was a pure coincidence because while waiting for the helper to prepare her snack, there was a sudden commercial news segment regarding Miller's buyout.
Her brother and father had sold their company, making the Millers partners, but not owners. The news was big enough to make it to the commercial news. Since then, Patricia had been a little distraught. She hadn't even touched the snack the helper had prepared.
"They sold the company…" she mumbled to herself. "… they sold it to the Bennets."
Patricia clasped her shoulder tightly, her expression growing bitter and hateful. "And yet, they look so happy."
