Chapter 60: The System Quest - Meat & Protein

Aria sat in the high-backed leather chair behind her massive oak desk, her eyes fixed on the empty space right in front of her face. The heavy velvet curtains were drawn shut against the cold gray morning, leaving the room illuminated only by a single brass desk lamp and the faint, blue glow of a screen that nobody else could see.

The translucent light hovered silently in the air, its sharp white text floating before her eyes.

    Chapter 61Alexander stood beside the desk, staring at the phone, then looking up at Aria with deep awe and faint dread. "They will actually do it. The sheer amount of money you offered will make those drivers run red lights all the way from Iowa.""Money is just paper, Alexander," Aria whispered, looking out the dark window at the heavy rain pelting the glass. "It only has value while the people out there still believe in the government that prints it. Soon, a hundred million dollars won't buy a single loaf of bread.""Shall I prepare the security team for the northern distribution warehouse?" Alexander asked, pulling out his pen."No," Aria said firmly. "I will go to the warehouse alone at midnight. I want the site completely cleared of all staff, drivers, and security guards by eleven-thirty. Tell the warehouse manager that I am conducting a private inventory audit with an offshore logistics team."Alexander frowned slightly. "Alone, Miss Evelyn? A dark industrial park at midnight

    Chapter 59"Mother..." Aria sobbed softly, her voice trembling with emotion. "Oh, Mother... how could you do this?"Beatrice stared up at her, her jaw working silently before she burst out into a harsh, bitter scream. "Don't you dare call me Mother! You evil, fake little cobra! You did this! You put those fake diamonds in the drawer! You wanted me to take them!""Mrs. Vance, quiet down now!" Hector warned, stepping between Beatrice and Aria. "One more outburst like that and I will have you moved straight to a holding cell!""No, Detective, please don't be harsh with her," Aria begged, reaching out with a delicate, shaking hand to touch Hector‘s sleeve. Her voice was full of desperate forgiveness. "She isn't herself. Please understand... she has suffered so much loss in the last few days. Her mind is confused."Beatrice’s eyes bulged with rage. "My mind is fine! You stole my house! You ruined my family!""I didn't steal anything, Mother," Aria cried, dabbing at her eyes with her handke

    Chapter 58: The Police InterrogationThe metal chair was cold, hard, and scraped loudly against the linoleum floor every time Beatrice shifted her weight. She sat in the middle of the small room, her arms wrapped tight around her chest as she tried to stop shaking. The air smelled like burnt coffee, damp wool, and bleach. Overhead, a single fluorescent bulb hummed, buzzing loudly in the quiet space.Detective Hector sat across the scratched wooden table, flipping slowly through a folder. He didn't look up right away. He just tapped his pen on the table, letting the rhythmic click fill the small room."So," Detective Hector said, setting his pen down with a loud snap. "Beatrice Vance. Is that correct?"Beatrice pulled her wet coat tighter around her neck. Her hair stuck to her cheeks in messy strands, and her lips were blue from the rain. "I am Beatrice Vance. And this whole thing is a complete mistake. I demand to call my personal lawyer this instant.""You can call whoever you want

    Chapter 57"Damn it," Beatrice hissed, her chest heaving as sweat mixed with the rainwater on her forehead.She looked around frantically, her eyes landing on a heavy silver paperweight shaped like a horse on the vanity desk. She grabbed the silver horse, wedged its hard nose into the crack above the brass drawer lock, and slammed her palm down on it with all her strength.SNAP.The cheap lock mechanism broke inside the wood. Beatrice pulled the drawer open.Inside, sitting on a black velvet tray, lay two heavy necklaces. They caught the faint room light instantly, glittering with massive, crystal-clear stone clusters set in thick white gold mountings.Beatrice’s eyes went wide. She gasped, reaching out to touch the ice-cold metal."The Regency collection..." Beatrice breathed, her voice trembling with sudden, desperate joy. "Her mother's diamonds. These are worth at least three hundred thousand dollars at auction."She didn't hesitate. She grabbed both necklaces, shoving them deep in

    Chapter 56: The Pawned HeirloomsBeatrice pulled her dirty scarf higher around her face, shivering as the freezing rain soaked through her paper-thin jacket. Her heels were worn down on one side, making every step along the wet pavement hurt her ankles, her stomach growled so loud that a passing stranger turned to look at her.She pulled out her phone. The battery was at two percent. She tapped Ethan’s contact and held the speaker to her ear with trembling fingers."Ethan?" Beatrice whimpered, her voice cracking. "Ethan, where are you? You have to pick up. They threw my bags into the alley. Ethan!""The phone you are trying to reach has been turned off," an automated voice repeated flatly.Beatrice squeezed the phone. She shoved it into her coat pocket and looked up at the massive wrought-iron gates of the Vance estate. The stone walls looked like a fortress under the dark gray sky.Her stomach cramped again, sharp and painful. She had no money for a sandwich, let alone a hotel room.
