VENUS REVENGE
Chapters 15. The Top Strategy

Venus was stunned to hear it. So Hugo was right to help this parlor. Mercifully. His sacrifice was not in vain.

“Did he not help anymore?” ask Venus while pretending to pay attention to the photos displayed all over the wall. Photos of famous people who once donated to the parlor.

“She still helps every month.” Madam Mildred noticed the young lady in front of her who was observing the photos one after another.

“Do you want to be photographed too?” bargained for.

“Oh, no need. After all, it wasn't my donation,” reject Venus.

“What's your name Miss? If Jean was alive, I think she'd be the same age as you. A good girl, but her age is not long enough to be happy with her husband,” said Mrs Mildred sadly.

“I Venus. Venus Moriarty.” Venus held out a hand. It seems he's ready to go. Madame Mildred welcomed him warmly.

“What will you leave soon, Miss?” Little Johnny confronted him in the big room where they used to gather. His face looks sad. Venus stops, then squats.

“Can I take him around town, madam? I'll take her back later. You can look for me at Moriarty's residence, if until late afternoon I don't return it here.

Madame Mildred looked troubled. So Venus made a video call with Chester. “Dad, I have delivered your message to the mistress of this parlor,” reports as soon as their call is connected. Madame Mildred's face is in the video.

“Thank you for the donation, Mr. Moriarty,” timpal Mrs Mildred.

“Oh, yes, no problem. Hopefully it will help your operation enough.”

“Very helpful,” nod Lady Mildred.

“Ah, I'm having a meeting, so sorry can't linger.” Chester showed some people in the room.

“Good.” Madam Mildred did not want to disturb.

“Dad, I want to take little Jhonny for a walk in town, can you?” ask Venus.

“Who is little Jhonny?” ask Chester in wonder.

“It's little Jhonny.” Venus crouches down so that Jhonny's face can be included in the video.

“That's my father,” Venus said to Jhonny.

“Halo Tuan.” Jhonny waved her hand.

“Do you want to attract the attention of my little daughter?” canda Chester's. But Jhonny clearly did not understand such a joke.

“She was a child, dad,” protest Venus.

“Oh, okay. As long as Madam Panti doesn't mind, then you can play for a while. Five o'clock should be back,” Chester's message.

“Good. Thank you.” The call was immediately decided by Venus.

“Now I have to ask your permission, Mrs.” Venus awaits. Jhonny also waited expectantly.

“Not that I don't trust you. But I'm afraid he'll be troublesome. What if one of her brother accompanied?” haggard Madam Mildred.

“So well. Come Jhonny. Let's find out who can take a walk to the city,” invite Venus excitedly.

A teenage boy walks in while guiding the bicycle Jean used to use to go to work. Venus smile. No wonder they found it. She was kidnapped just across the building that night.

“Is he a nursing home too?” ask Venus.

“Yes. He's Bob.” Madame Mildred understood Venus's intentions. The teenager called.

“Bob, can you accompany Jhonny on a walk with Miss Venus?” tanyakanya.

Bob watched Venus and Jhonny whose hands would not be separated from Venus. He understood very well that his little sister was not wanting to escape from the young Miss who came to the orphanage.

“Of course. Are we going to go to the park? Isn't that so much fun?” Bob reached out to Jhonny.

“Horree ...” He pulled Bob's hand to run to the park.

“Let's take the car. The closest park from here, pretty far, isn't it? Bob looks tired. So let her rest for a while,” Venus said.

Jhonny's getting excited. He's standing by Venus' luxury car while pulling Bob's hand.

“I go first, Mistress,” say goodbye Venus.

“Ya.” Madam Mildred nodded.

“Happy!” yell at Jhonny and Bob.

Until the afternoon, the three of them played in the park. Accompany Jhonny to play the slide or climb and hang. When he returned, the boy fell asleep exhausted. He was already filled with various snacks in the park. Venus drove them back with a toy they bought.

“Thank you, Bob.” Venus slipped a piece of money into the teenager's hand. “Buy new shoes,” whispers.

“Thank you, Miss.” Bob held a sleeping Jhonny and walked to the orphanage. A toy bag hung on his shoulder. Madame Mildred was waiting at the door. Replying to the arms of Venus.

“We're home!” venus orders on driver. His eyes were glazed all the way home.

The driver only noticed his young lady who was now silent a thousand languages. It was very different from when the two children were in the car. Very crowded and cheerful.

“You're back in time,” welcome Chester.

“Do I make you wait?” Venus slammed herself on the couch. Chester was busy with what was in his hands.

“We have dinner invitations. Go prepare. In an hour we leave!” said.

“Is it important?” Venus was lazy to go anywhere that night.

“If you want to get close to Hugo, then you need to start getting into high-class company. His current wife was the daughter of the city lord. They used to party. You might have a chance to get close to him,” explains Chester.

“You're right.” Venus stood up and walked to her room. He had to take advantage of the opportunity Chester created.

An hour later, they were already on their way to the dinner venue. “What we came here is the residence of Mr. Stephen Lawrence. His wife is named Mathilda. They are not noble families. But their wealth has been built since from his grandfather. So, they have been very respected since a long time.”

Venus nodded, She tried to recall the basic information Chester gave her. The rest, later he had to find out for himself who were the invited guests who participated in the event.

“Welcome, Mr. Moriarty,” what the servant of the residence is respectful.

“This is my daughter, Venus.” Chester introduced Venus to let the servant take notes in his book. The first steps of Venus to be known to the upper class, have begun.

“Welcome, Miss Moriarty,” greet the waiter respectfully.

Another servant led them into the house. It turned out that inside had gathered some people. They were chatting casually in the living room. A girl played the piano very proficiently, giving rise to the admiration of the women present.

“Ah, a very busy Mr. Moriarty is finally willing to come,” welcome a fat man and his head is almost bald. His eyes quickly, catching the beautiful figure that had since entered still hung a hand on Chester's arm.

“Have you changed your mind now?” tanyanya full of search.

“This is my daughter, Venus.” Chester introduced Venus to the people in the room.

“Your daughter is very beautiful. Is that why you always hide it?” The person whose head was almost bald immediately commented.

“He's Mr. Handerson. Beware him. Don't believe the seduction,” said Chester introduced the man. Venus smiled, while the entire room laughed out loud.

Mr. Handerson pouted. “You are so cruel, Chester!”
