Zosia: Quick Transmigration System-Chapter 45 - 43- Arc 2
Zosia opened her eyes but quickly closed it due to the sun rays that filtered in. She had woken up due to the sound of things being moved. She could already guess why such sounds were being made in her room.
Closing her eyes back, she remembered that yesterday, Ariana and Kael had decided to divorce, which was good. She wasn't sure she wanted to stay in this place any more.
Yesterday, she noticed three cameras in her room and they were placed in some inconspicuous places like at the head of her bed, inside the bulb in her lamp as well as by the dressing table.
"Miss, you should take your bath and be ready to go."
Zosia could hear the excitement in the maids voice. Sitting up, she raised her eyebrows as she stared at the maid. "Seems like you are really happy?"
"No... I..." she wanted to speak and defend herself but was stopped by Zosia's raised hand, which signaled her to keep her mouth shut.
"Not surprised anyway. The company? Are they already here?" She asked offhandedly, referring to the moving company her mother had called.
"No." The maid said through her gritted teeth, her eyes flashing with hostility. She felt that Zosia was looking down on her, by cutting her short, with clenched fist and red eyes, she stared at Zosia with a stubborn and determined look in her eyes.
"What is it?" Zosia asked sloppily as she slowly and lazily stood up from the bed, her eyes still had the sleepy look instead of her sharp but innocent look.
The maid stared at Zosia and couldn't help but admit that, she is one hell of a beauty. Thinking up to this point, she became angrier.
"You are finally going yet you still act haughty. Now, haven't you fallen."
Her words elicited a chuckle from Zosia rather than the action she expected to see.
"You are rather funny. I don't know if you went to school, but if what you call my current state now as fallen, then I would like to tell you, that no, I haven't and i won't."
The lady scoffed, feeling irritated by Zosia's refute. She couldn't help but remark, "Now, you don't have any backing, I wonder what becomes of your mom, such a pity!" She continued, "Let's see if you are still going to be proud or come back begging." She said with a vicious smile on her face, like she couldn't wait to see that happen.
Zosia laughed at her statement, she eyed the lady with a look full of unconcealed derision.
"I don't know if it's my brother you're working for, but you definitely wouldn't be a chicken flying through the branches, or is it my sister, i wonder how much she must have paid you to move your lips, such an effortless task but the end is just going to be a butchered chicken.
Or do you think that by doing this, my cold, unfeeling father would notice you? Don't be stupid, with your half baked face and less than beautiful body, it's impossible.
So, just do yourself a favor before I turn you Into a butchered chicken and get out of my sight."
"You! You, you!!!—"
"Are you a stutterer? Ooh! that's even worse, that means you have been doing a thankless task, cause neither of my siblings would want you."
Seeing how Zosia kept making fun of her, she became angry. Feeling embarrassed and angry, she was unable to utter something to refute since she was right.
"Keep being proud and let's see how it goes." She glared at Zosia and said before leaving with a huff, but Zosia next words caused her hatred and anger to rise up to another level
"A lean camel still has more meat than a dead insect." Zosia said with a chuckle in her voice. Everything seemed like she had just been watching a play and she didn't seem a little bit affected by her words.
The other maids who were in the room did not dare dilly-dally, after all, they didn't want to be the next person Zosia traded words with. Even though Zosia's words could be considered mild,, it definitely wasn't mild to one's ego.
As for Zosia's last statement, they all agreed to it since it was the truth. Besides, their master had said that, he would still continue his fatherly duties. As for the dead insect , it was definitely referring to the maid.
They all turned to look at the head maid who shook her head at them, meaning, the maid wouldn't continue with them, worse, she may never really continue to see the city sky.
Zosia turned to the head maid who had been quiet since the charade started.
" Should I call your keeping quiet... In fact, never mind. I hope she doesn't continue working here. All of you can go out, I need to have my bath."
Zosia who had wanted to chide the maid as the original owner would do and decided to forgo it. It wasn't worth it when she would be leaving today.
They all filed out immediately, unwilling to stay a second longer. The head maid did not forget to close the door behind her.
She had been unable to show Ariana the picture and what she had found yesterday and as for who poisoned her, she already got a lead.
Terra and her so-called best-friend — Lucy, who hasn't come to see her, since her hospitalization.
She did not understand why Terra had done that, but the original owner was really blind not to see the obvious hate in Lucy's eyes whenever the two of them were alone.
Terra has been paid some money by Lucy to help them clear their debts, but, Terra's parents being in sudden huge amounts of debts, didn't seem like a mistake. It was definitely planned.
'Did Lucy have such ability?'She wasn't sure, 'But it wouldn't be hard to find out.' Zosia thought as she stared at the missed calls she had received from Lucy on her phone.
She played with the phone for a while as she thought about something. Since, she was almost 90% done with the side task, she was thinking of how to approach the main and second task.
She did not know how to even approach Lysel.
"Sigh! When we get there we will cross the bridge." She muttered under her breath with an audible sigh.
Glancing at the phone screen one more time, she suddenly thought of something, it was like a light bulb suddenly went on in her head.
She decided to try it out. She immediately walked to her table which had a packing brown box on top of it, alongside her laptop that they had yet to put inside.
She opened her laptop, after booting it on, she typed away for a while but seeing the results when got which was unsatisfactory.
She had thought of sending a link to Lucy. As someone who was anticipating something or had something to hide, she would definitely open the link. The link was a virus that would allow her to get details in her phone, most especially her chat.
She had acted on the thoughts and sent a link to Lucy, who immediately opened the link, giving her access to her phone. The result was that, she was only able to get access to surface chats, some hidden chats were obscure.
But getting the surface chats was more than enough to prove who her murderer was.
Trisha — Lucy's mother and Ariana's sister.
From Ariana's words yesterday about her sister, she could already form a drama in her head.
Trisha wants Kael and Ariana and Mirabel were obstacles towards that.
What was one of the ways to make a mother depressed. Make her grieve.
Especially with how bad Ariana and Mirabel relationship is and both love each other despite their lack of communication.
If Ariana was grieving and gets depressed, they could easily kill her and term it as suicide or depression. They could even forge a mental certificate and say, she had mental issues.
With Kael's attitude, the task which would be hard for them to accomplish, would become easier. Even if Mirabel or Ariana died today, he may not even bother to investigate and even if he really did, he wouldn't bring them to justice.
Like, how the original owner was poisoned. Zosia was sure that he must be aware of it, but what was his attitude.
Zosia pondered carefully, she felt that the situation of this family was like a tangled web, filled with deceit and manipulation.
There is the mysterious Kael who seemed to have killed off his last wife Keisha and had a lover while Ariana was a substitute.
Then Ariana, who seemed sharp but blind in the things of the family while believing she had a high Emotional Quotient.
Zosia believed that Ariana really didn't have that, because if she did, maybe she would have done better in she and Mirabel complex yet simple relationship.
Then there is Lucy who was the daughter of Trisha, but her father was unknown. Ooh, and also her step- siblings. Theirs were less complicated and their relationship was based on hate and jealousy.
They hated Mirabel and Mirabel was jealous of them.
Then there is Keira, who seemed to be related to Trisha and Ariana as she looked more like Ariana or Ariana looked more like her.
Her hand softly tapped against the table as she pondered on how to tell Ariana or make her realize it.
"Sigh! I haven't even yet figured out how I am related to Lysel in all these complex web. This is why I don't like using my brain, it eats away my brain cells." She muttered to herself as she rubbed her forehead . freёweɓnovel.com
She better go take her bath and prepare her mind for what is next.
She had figured out a way to get Kael's phone.
She had just finished removing her cloth, when her room door swung open .
Guess the culprit?
