Despite her bravado, Elisa felt the weight of the dagger's legacy. The old patriarch had battled for years to protect like his forefathers did, and now, seeing that dagger betrayed in such a way made her wonder what type of a person Maria is!
"Since you said so yourself that this is the old patriarch Reynolds' life, then why did you take it? Were you thinking of Killing him by putting that dagger on fundraising auction." She continued, " Your his nemesis. What does it have to do with me? And why should l worry ? I bought it with real money, everyone here can testify to it. Besides the old patriarch is so reversed in the industry, so he will understand what integrity means.."
"Ms. Elisa, the transaction is complete," the staff announced, handing her the receipt and her card with a flourish.
The dagger was now truly hers.
Elisa took it and signed her name in irrelevant documents, and now, the Reynolds heirloom dagger officially belonged to her.
