It was really true! Matt Engarde was the real mastermind behind the death of Juan Corrida!!!!
Matt: Congrats to you and your friends Mr. Wright. You must have worked real hard to find out everything you could about me.
Phoenix: So, you are Shelly De Killer's client?
(Y/N): How could you be hiding this behind us?
Engarde: Did you really expect me to get my hands dirty?
Twilight: You tricked us all, and you got both Phoenix and (Y/N) into getting Ms. Andrews put behind bars! An innocent woman is going to jail for life or be executed because of you!!
Engarde: Well, Adrian was also a pain in the ass to deal with. I didn't think she had it in her. But Juan is dead anyway. That's all that matters to me.
Pearl: HOW HORRIBLE!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!
Engarde: Hey little girl. Why don't you run along home and let the older ones talk to me?
Mia: Then why did you hide the video camera in the bear?
Engarde: Weaklings will easily believe the words of others. Just like that bitch, Adrian.
(Y/N): Wait ... did he really know about Adrian and what she was going through when Celeste killed herself?
Engarde: But I don't trust or believe anyone ... least of all assassins.
Trucy: What? But you're the one who ordered de Killer to do the job.
Engarde: Please, assassins aren't above blackmail. They turn their clients into cashcows by holding the sinful deed over their heads. And a superstar like me, how much do you think I'm worth? Care to guess?
Sunset: Wait a second. Was that why you set up the camera in the bear figurine?
Engarde: That's right. That's where the video comes in. It's got his face and the crime scene recorded on it, preserved for all time. With that, I can keep him at bay, and even blackmail him if I want. That video is my "insurance"... Isn't that what they call it, Mr. Wright?
Phoenix growled at the same time you did.
This bastard was the lowest of the low.
Pearl: But how could you do something so wrong?
Engarde: Because I'm an adult and I can. Good enough for you little girl?
Rarity: That still doesn't explain why you killed Mr. Corrida.
Engarde: Well, Juan was about to sling so much dung onto my beautiful public image. Scandals are a little annoying, aren't they?
Phoenix: This is all because of that press conference, isn't it...?
Pearl: If Mr. Corrida had been able to give it, then Mr. Engarde's secret would've...
(Y/N): Then you would have been exposed and Mr. Corrida would have destroyed your career.
Engarde: Ah, well, that's what we call "taking advantage of the situation", you know? I had no interest in doing it, really, but bit by bit, it crept up on me. And then the situation just presented itself perfectly... "How beautiful," I thought.
Ran: That's why you hired de Killer. To make sure Mr. Corrida kept quiet.
Engarde: Let me tell you guys something. I'm not like Adrian. I don't depend on anyone. People are simply tools to be used. Used and thrown away. Put on a sweet, innocent face, and people will swallow anything you feed them. Adrian fell for it. The assassin too. Oh, and how can I forget. Even all of you fell for it! Everyone, all working their butts off for me, Matt Engarde!
