Selena glared at Pierre harshly. “Why would you give a young boy such a harsh punishment? Are you telling me that you’re making him stand there the entire night?!”
“An overprotective mother leads to a useless son!”
That was all Pierre said.
“Also, what are you doing so late at night?!”
“Where’s that book that we’ve gotten from the Oberlin Family?”
Right then, Selena only recalled how the book that Jane initially wanted to use to frame Jameson was now in their hands. Indeed, they had to figure out what to do with this book.
As the book was thrown to the ground by Jameson, she picked it up, and the two of them started examining the book. After flipping through a few pages, Pierre nodded in confirmation. “It’s a real artifact.”
“Are you sure? But why would Jane use a real artifact to frame Jameson? Has she ever considered how much loss she needs to bear if she fails?!” Selena took the book and observed it. The pages in the book did look old, and most of the words were in a traditional form.
“It’s real. There’s no doubt about it,” Pierre concluded after checking the book again.
Selena smiled bitterly. “Looks like Jane really went all out this time. I bet she didn’t expect herself to lose everything. That’s karma for her!”
She initially thought that Jane was a master at this, but it seemed like she was just an amateur. In fact, even an amateur was better than her.
“Are we going to return it?”
“Why should we return it when it belongs to our country?” Pierre flipped through the book again before placing it on the table. “I’ll arrange for someone to get this book back by tonight. I’m guessing that the Oberlin Family will come to us to get the book back.”
“Is that… alright, though? What if they really come over and we can’t give it back to them…” Selena was worried.
