THE DEADLY FACADE

21|THE WORTH

     "Welcome back, Ventura." Willow welcomed her after the entire meeting about the upcoming case of the Alvaro Syndicate Family.

     They managed to have additional information about the ongoing situation and how they could entirely take it down without a doubt.

     Her superiors suggested into tipping Mrs. Isabella Alvaro to go under the government's protection after their divorce proceedings and the custody battle. They were assigned to contact or at least, pin down her location but no one could see where she was or had been. It seemed like the mighty Isabella Alvaro could hide from the Alvaro's without the government itself.

     "It is nice to be back considering the physical therapy really is not that great for me. I hate going to doctor's all the time."

     Leigh had never shared her hatred towards her physical or mental therapy considering she was always raised to suck it all up.

     "Ah, I could finally feel you in the air. You are officially back. It is nice seeing you once again, Ventura." Luna stated while Leigh smiled at the sister's considering she did yearn for their constant presence in her life even though they had made consistent visits at her home but at work, it somehow is different when they are interacting at this place.

     "How has the case of the you-know been going on?" Luna continued while Willow was definitely been staying radio silent and eavesdropping to their conversation.

     "Well, the court meeting has been scheduled so the flames of the dragon is about to be completely full-fledged. The people, press, and just humans."

     Leigh was completely stressed about the upcoming murder case which completely puts their families reputation into stake. She had been holding her breathe ever since the start of hearing the death but at this moment, she had been enduring her chest pains, migraines, and panic attacks due to stress.

     "We will be here. You do not have to worry. The world may turn their back at you and your family. We, the Clarke sister's, would never ever turn our backs to you."

     Willow stated with a confident smile as Leigh replied with a grateful smile at one of her dearest close friend's.

     "Alright, let us go back to work because my personal problems are not as important as the world problem." Leigh replied as they all have moved on. She was extremely relieved that the two of her dearest close friends would not leave her side at the time which she is most vulnerable at. Sister's do not really come by blood.

     "Good evening, Ms. Ventura. I have come to inform you about the process of the trial. The attorney's have stated we have a good chance of winning the upcoming trials."

     "Also, the public relations have everything under control and as what you have commanded, they are fully prepared about this upcoming trial."

     "That is noted." Leigh was relieved about the current state considering she had informed everyone working under her in this case that the members of the Ventura Business Family would be present for the upcoming trial. This was the perfect time to introduce the lowkey and sometimes mysterious family of Ventura Business Family.

     From her paternal grandparents to her cousins would be in attendance of this event.

     Somehow, it is like a mini-family reunion or more like a casual barbecue family meeting.

     Her paternal uncle and aunt expressed their worry about her identity but she was completely confident about her own disguise. Deirdre Lorelei Ventura-Meyer was not a fool to enter a war without caution. She would enter holding every single possibilities to happen without a doubt. The proof to never mess with a Ventura.
