Mana: Before The Rise - Chapter 291

The next day after the adoption agency came, they left with blushing smiles that made Gaze want to smack them even more. It didn’t even take more then thrifty minutes because they had long settled the paperwork, they just needed her signature.

How that works Gaze did not care. She was just annoyed that they were so happy, anyone could love and take care of an abused girl. Why, did it have to be her.

Alice was no looking at furniture, she didn’t know what she wanted, and the shop assistance has been trying to get a sale on her because Gaze had told him price does not matter. As for Gaze herself she is now sitting on some couch with her eyes closed waiting for the girl to choose. They had been here for over and hour.

Because she was indecisive.

Finally, after a while the sales associate came to her with the paperwork as, Alice had finally chosen what she wants. She chose simple chocolate brown, after watching her choose Gaze could guess what her favorite color is ‘brown’. She managed to find something she liked for a cheep price.

Her eyes sharpened for a moment, before it returned to an indifferent one as she moved on.

“Next would be devices.” Once they got in the car and put their seatbelts on Gaze started to mumble under her breath. She went to her cell phone service and applied for a phone plan for her, the girl chose a flip phone at first. Before she backpaddled after seeing Gaze’s expression.

By the end of the day Alice was fully settled in her room, she had a Tv, Laptop, and Phone as well as a beautiful room set and comfortable bed. Stationary items for study and a closet full of clothes. Leaving Alice upstairs to get settled Gaze sat in the living room, another cup of coffee on the small low table as she was reading an article on her phone. Well, that is what it looks like.

She was lost in thought and carefully considering her observations.

“That was fast.” Gaze immediately said as soon as she answered.

“The youngest daughter was adopted by another family, it seemed that it was because she looked like the families deceased daughter who died in the same hospital. Your younger brother was paid off, as for the eldest sister…..It doesn’t look pretty good. It seems like the youngest she was also sold off although their where no legal doc.u.ments tracing it. “Said her particularly good PI, that owed her a favor.

“….” Gaze eyes opened slowly, she seemed upset. “Send it to the Austin Police department, the local sheriff has my permission to search the house and can contact me if there is anything else. As for My Niece, I’ll pay you triple if you can find her location within the next week days bring her back.”

“Right, on it” he said an hung up.

“I promised our parents I would show you mercy, this could be considered mercy since you sold two daughters, killed one, and abused the other.” Gaze said lightly.

……

“That’s interesting, I can’t believe I didn’t know you had a niece” Blake said in pleasant mood, he had poured his own coffee from her pot making her frown.

“I don’t like talking about my brother or have any association with him. He makes terrible choices and does not want to hear that he is wrong. Our parents raised him to be an entitled brat Afterall. It’s on me for turning a blind eye to my brother though, I knew what type of person he and his wife where and now that result Is such.

Nothing else to do but move forward and do justice for them.

My eldest niece, she has yet to arrive, but I’ll have to find a way to reintroduce her to society.”

“Will you be enrolling her here?”

“I don’t know” Gaze said lightly and after a few normal conversations about the student body between her in the Principle. Blake left to attend his duties.

Her office was quiet for the rest of the day, the students although being students, had bee rather quiet and conservative since the incident. Some parents had taken to keep a closer eye on their teenagers, its was a very impactful event for their community.

Blake had told her that her speech had made a lot of people ‘unsettled’ to which she shrugged her shoulders.

Gaze looked at her phone, her youngest niece’s adoptive parents have been conflicted. They did not like her brother and so since they somewhat care for the youngest niece she decided to leave it up to their decisions whether they want to regain contact or not.

…..

“How is she?” Gaze asked the doctor, as she kept her eye on the three girls in the hospital room. Having a heartwarming moment while crying together. Gaze just looked dull.

“Well, she is lucky to not have any s.e.x.u.a.lly transited diseases. But her hip and legs will leave her disabled for life…” The Doctor wanted to say positive thing about the situation as he explained, and Gaze only Listened.

He said that as she looked at her youngest niece in her wheelchair. The adoptive parents where to the side, the women was sentimental while her husband just embraced her.
