Mama'S Twin
Stiffening Discussion

Early in the morning Dario came out of Xavier's apartment. He was trying to find a gap.

Her mother didn't let go that easily. He must have a plan to watch over her. Dario didn't want to let his guard down anymore.

There's an officer sweeping in. Dario watched her strangely.

"Hallo, sir," Dario said.

The janitor nodded. He looks nervous. Dario felt something was wrong.

"You new?" ask Dario.

"No Sir. I've been working here for three years."

Dario watched the man's movements. She believes Mama paid her for the spy. Too obvious and his feelings are sensitive. Shan was sharpening it and he learned a lot.

"How much did Mrs Sanio pay you?" dario asked while looking at him with a curious face.

The man kept looking down.

"Hey, Sir. Just confess. No one cleaned the apartment this early. I know and I'm not stupid. The apartment will be cleaned in the middle of the night by officers, so the morning is clean. Confess or I'll find your name. I have your boss's number. I have a stake in this building." Dario's lying. He was just scaring the man.

"Ma.sorry me, sir. I was just told to." The man said nervously while holding his mop.

Dario grunted softly. He had guessed.

"Look at me, sir. I'm a good man. I'll give you double the money Mrs Sanio gave you. Be my guy. Report what I said. You want?" ask Dario.

He knew his mother was only after the weak and needed money. Let this old man get two sources of money at once.

The old man of the janitor nodded in fear.

"I need your name, sir? May Isee? My men will find and explain."

The old man nodded back.

Dario grabbed his phone and photographed the ID card in the man's uniform. He secretly took a picture of her face as well and sent it to Shan. Let him take care of it.

Dario patted the old man's shoulder before it passed.

"Good work, sir. Remember that! Hold your promise and I'll watch her secretly. Understood?" ask Dario.

"Yes, Sir. I understand," he said.

Dario immediately walked to the elevator. He was ready to go to the hospital before going to the office and taking care of Dante Bank.

"The baby's good, tomorrow we'll be home." Julie shows Anna's doctor's results to Dario.

Dario nodded. His mind was somewhat troubled actually by that message from William Topper.

"What's bothering you? Is this about Celia?" ask Julie worriedly.

Dario shook his head. He doubted. Does he need to talk about Dante Bank? Julie actually found out because she was coming to Valex at the time. Julie even manages to solve the puzzle and she manages to open the safe because of the code from her.

"Julie, I opened the safe at Dante Bank on your advice. Do you remember about that? When you ran away at my old house in Valex?" Dario said quietly even though there were only the two of them in the room.

Julie nodded.

"There's actually a special key to unlock it. But I don't have any. We don't know about that either, do we? And now the owner of the lock seems to want to open the safe I took and I secured it." Dario said in a soft tone but with a sharp pressure in each sentence.

Eyes rounded. Julie is tense. He remembered what happened that day. The day that she and Athena were almost caught trailing and eavesdropping on Frans Adams discussing with Travis Topper at the hospital cafeteria.

Dario was confused. Julie swallowed her saliva hard. At first he wanted to tell Dario about this but he was busy thinking about the fetus he contained. It's been forgotten.

"The key holder is Frans Adams." Julie said with certainty.

Dario looked at his wife with questioning eyes. He needs more explanation.

"I ran into Athena in the hospital and Mr Frans Adams called her Dante Bank. I was curious and felt that I should know this information to let you know."

Dario looked at him more and more with a turbulent feeling in his chest.

"He held the key and showed it to an elderly man whose son worked at Dante Bank . I forgot his name but someone with Topper's last name."

Dario's getting stuck. So this is William Topper. The person holding the key told his father and asked for his help.

"Julls, is this serious?" Dario still doesn't believe it.

Julie nodded.

"He said he stole it from Mrs Sanio years ago." Julie added.

Dario was surprised.

"So you were the one who kept the key? But it was still intact when I took it. Then what should I do. The bank clerk called me and asked for payment if I wanted to take care of it. You think I should how about Julls?"

"How's what?' Julie doesn't seem to understand.

"William Topper offered me to change the contents of the safe. Or am I just setting him up and seeing Frans Adams eye to eye?"

Julie shook her head at the last idea. He had seen Frans Adams and the man was full of gimmicks and terrible. Do not deal directly with the person who justifies all means of seizing those that do not belong to him.

"Don't trust anyone, Dario. Including William Topper. Record your conversations secretly. Or proof that he called you. If he messes around you can report him to the bank with that evidence. The actions he offered were in violation of the code of conduct? Aren't you?" Julie argues.

Dario. Yes, Julie's right. Don't trust anyone.

"I'll change the contents of his safe seeing his reaction. But with what to replace?" Dario muttering.

Julie seemed to help thinking as her bedroom door was knocked.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

Dario. Who knocked on the door this early? He didn't see anyone when he sneaked in. He made sure everything was safe.

All the guards and bodyguards that were escorting were naturally unable to roam the hospital this early.

"Who?" ask Julie.

There's no answer.

He and Dario looked at each other.
