Ace let out a huffed sigh, he looked at the figure of the girl standing still looking at a new tomb with a blank look. Ace preferred Shia against him more than Shia, now a statue.
Robert's death had a great impact on Shia. Ace knows that. Although Shia repeatedly thinks of taking revenge on Robert, Ace is convinced that no princess really hates her own father.
On the other hand Ace is happy that Shia is back in her own mansion whereas Ace plans to catch up with Shia to Columbia if until tomorrow morning the girl has not returned because they have to hold Robert's funeral.
Ace was still standing behind Shia, watching the tiny back within 2 meters. Sometimes he grunts when some men rub Shia's shoulders and give words of encouragement to the girl.Even in the present situation, an Ace Hiddleton can be jealous.
“I know you loved him from the beginning, keep him” Ace diverted his blue bead to a man who is now next to him.
“And your task is also done, David.” Ace showed his smirk. David was stunned for a moment then displayed a slanted smile. “I thought it would be hard to fool Alfa”
David looked ahead, his co-workers and distant relatives had already left the tomb. “Maybe he'll hate you if he finds out you killed Liam, but trust me Shia will understand if you explain it with your own mouth”
“I tau” replied Ace. David patted Ace's shoulder slowly “I entrust him to you” After saying that David moved away from the burial area, leaving Ace still faithfully staring at Shia's back. Almost 10 minutes Ace just stood up and he stared at Shia.
At first Ace wanted to stay away and make room for Shia. It was possible that the girl was uncomfortable if there was herself behind, but the sound of crying made her approach Shia quickly.
Ace felt pain in his chest as Shia's tears hatched. The man immediately hugged Shia who was holding back his sobs, he could feel Shia's shoulders shaking. “This hurts Ace..” Shia said softly. The girl's hand patted her chest, her body was not injured but why did her heart feel so hurt.
“He left with a cool snob..” He said as he stared at Robert's grave which was now filled with flowers.
“She...he never explained anything to me Ace. He never explained how my mother died and Liam's murder was an accident Ace… He let me think that he killed her so that I wouldn't find trouble with his enemy and he did that for me!”
Shia wiped her tears then looked at Ace's blue bead. Strangely staring at the blue bead actually made Shia's tears slide more and more. “Dia., .,. My father did it to protect me Ace! And I foolishly hate him for no reason!”
Ace was still silent, he let Shia vent all her emotions. The man's hand still faithfully rubbed Shia's trembling back. She can't imagine what if Shia finds out that she's the Alpha, the one who killed Liam.
“How can he leave without saying goodbye to me? On his own only daughter. Oh, is after everything I've done, I still deserve to be Ace's daughter?”
“Hey, listen to me Shia” Ace said softly, his hands clenched Shia's face to face her. The blue bead trembled as it stared at Shia's fragile figure. His hand rubbed both of Shia's cheeks. Remove any traces of tears there.
“Whatever you think, you're still Shia's daughter, don't make everything Robert does go to waste. Robert sacrificed himself to protect you Shia, because of what? Because you are precious to him”
-----------------------
Shia looked at the building in front of her with a blank look. The Clarikson Mansion that was once in his life is now his. The girl sighed and drove her car into the gate that had been open since.
“Mrs Clarikson” Shia stared at the waiters who were sitting politely. Now the call is no longer Miss Shia but Miss Clarikson.
The girl gave a short nod then walked indifferently towards Robert's study. Shia again breathed. It has been a long time since Shia was in this room.She was a child when she always bullied Robert while working or even made the middle-aged man upset with his behavior.
Shia smiled faintly recalling it, her steps towards Robert's desk. He sat himself in a chair with his hands reaching for a document marked on each of its sheets. His forehead shriveled, the paper contained data of mafia groups in the underworld. Shia flipped the paper over, a fold of paper fell down. His hand took the paper. The paper was a letter sent from SXT. Shia covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes still rolling reading the array of words arranged there.
Ring., Ring..
Shia's phone rang. The girl looked at the caller's name with an unreadable look, I don't know Shia was confused how to put up her expression after seeing the documents in Robert's office and the letter sent by the SXT figure.
“You where, Love” the voice of the caller sounded worried
“Ace..” Shia's tone sounded vibrating
“You where?”
“Mansion Claricson”
Sounded like Ace's breath across there “Let me if you need Love's help, I'll help you take care of everything”
Shia disconnects it and deactivates her phone. Now he reads all the documents on Robert's desk after which the girl laughs loudly. His awkward laughter filled the room. his brown bead flashed and then suddenly his tears flowed back “You're Ace Hiddleton”'s master con man
Ace Hiddleton is Alfa, the leader of the mafia in the underworld as well as a former colleague of Robert. And Shia just found out now. Shia knows that Alfa killed Liam, but Shia also knows that the bullet was a mistargeted bullet. Shia couldn't kill him.
“Sorry Liam, I withdrew my words. I can't kill him. My love is deeper than I expected”
