Chapter 48

Chapter 48

"We'll go to the island right? But before that, I think Jemi has something to tell us." Bia said while cutting her steak. I sighed and was about to open my mouth when someone interrupted me.

"Before you tell them. Can I speak?" Hale said, standing up. I arched a brow and sat back down.

"Go on Mateo." Agent Rose motioned.

"The ring that I put on the chest...is not the real Topaz, it's a fake one." Natahimik kaming lahat. I stared at him and looked away. Fake one? Akala ko ba nasa kanya ang Topaz gem? Why is he telling us this so sudden? Which means, we only have three real gems.

Tita Lucille then leans on her chair and motioned Hale to sit down.

"Puwede ba yun? I mean that chest is very unusual," she thought deeply while putting her index finger on her chin and roaming her eyes on us. Lahat kami ay nakatingin sa kanya, puwera lang kay Clare na walang pakew sa mundow at patuloy lang sa pagsubo ng pagkain.

"The Topaz I put on the ring is just the same as the real one, maybe that's the reason." Hale reasoned out.

"Pero alam mo ba kung nasaan ang totoong Topaz?" Agent Rose asked with a serious face.

Hale nodded.

"I may have an idea."

"Okay. We'll get the Topaz first then the fifth gem," she claps her hand and was about to cut her steak when one of the men knocks the door. We're in a restaurant that is owned by Rhys and we took the people that Tulip gave us and as long as we observed them, they seem loyal like she said.

"Agent Rose, someone's at the door." Pumikit ng mariin si agent Rose at inis na binaba ang kanyang kobyertos sabay tayo at pumunta sa labas.

We all shrugged and continued eating, not when Rhys began to panic. "Y-you! Anong g-ginagawa mo dito?!" He stood up, Kori holding his hand but Rhys wouldn't calm down and when he pulled out his gun, we as stood up and look at the woman he is pointing at.

"Rhys! Easy boy." Agent Rose said and putting the two ladies at her back while Rhys is getting into his system.

"She is the lady who tried to kill Anne and I when we were kids because her parents died because my grandfather didn't cure them for having no money." My lips parted, didn't know what to say and just looks back and forth at them when a soft hand caresses mine. I look up and saw Hale's face with full of bruises. I smiled sadly and caress his hand too, feeling his presence.
