48 Epilogue: Closer

'' WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ?! '', A middle-aged man shouted at Katherine, who was intently gazing at the floor.

Katherine was in a dining room right now, she was standing in front of her family because she had screwed up,

She had revealed the truth about the Coleen family to her friends, she knew that they wouldn't blabber about it to anyone but she still felt that it was necessary to inform her family about what she had done.

She was surprised that her father was the one who was scolding her. She had excepted her grandfather to be the angriest but surprisingly enough her grandfather had not uttered a single word.

He just stared at her silently, which made her even more nervous.

Katherine's mother had a disappointed expression on her face, while her father continued to yap away until a man walked into the dining room and handed her grandfather a file.

'' What's that father ?'', Katherine's father asks her grandfather in a tired voice.

'' It's a file on that boy.''

Katherine's grandfather's words shock everyone in the room. When had he even issued the order for this?

As always Katherine's grandfather, Eustace was an enigma that couldn't be comprehended by normal people.

Eustace Colleen opens the file casually and reads the content within it. A frown can be seen on Katherine's face.

' Gulp.'

'' What's wrong, grandpa ?'', she asks carefully

'' Nothing.''

'' What ?''

'' There's nothing on that boy here.... no useful information at least.

Nobody says anything for a while.

Eustace says, '' It's probably the work of that corrupt woman..... you're right Kathy... there is something fishy about that boy.... but the way you tried to uncover it was not the way to do it.''

Katherine couldn't believe her own ears.

Did her grandfather just agree with her...

Seeing the look on her parent's faces, they too seem shocked.

'' W-what should have I done, grandpa ?'', Katherine asks in a shaky voice.

All she ever wanted to do in her life was to make her grandpa proud... and maybe one day become the head of the family just like him.

'' Forget everything that's happened till now... For now... I think you should get closer to him..... a lot closer''

.....

.....

.....

Huh ?

Katherine suddenly gets an ominous feeling.
