“Does Lucius know the boy you’re looking for is my brother?” Haskell asked.
Trudy hesitated, but meeting Haskell’s bottomless gaze, she answered in a trembling voice, “…He probably does.”
She quickly added, “But he must have just found out! When I called him about it yesterday, he sounded very pleased and had someone wire me ten million dollars as a bonus. I didn’t understand why at the time, but looking back, he must have realized the person I was looking for was your brother…”
Haskell said nothing more. So, Lucius had only just found out.
Crispin, who had been waiting silently, spoke up. “Sir, following the lead on Trudy, I uncovered another secret.”
He paused, his expression grim. “This so-called finishing school of hers is not what it seems. On the surface, it trains women who want to climb the social ladder. But behind the scenes, the dealings are much filthier. Many of the girls are forced into transactions.”
It seemed Trudy was connected to what Nightveil had discovered about Lucius developing a potent aphrodisiac to use on innocent young women.
Larissa’s eyes turned cold. She looked at Haskell. “I doubt we’ll get any more useful information about your brother from her. What are you going to do with her?”
“Why do you ask, Larissa?” Haskell countered. “Do you want to deal with her?”
Larissa nodded, a determined glint in her eyes.
“Yes. I want to use her to test my poisons. She’s the perfect subject.”
