"Excuse me, miss..."

Ariana turned, startled by the sudden voice. She had just gotten back from visiting a friend, only to find a ragged-looking man walking up to her.

He was a sight to behold, and not in a good way.

His brown jacket was stained and torn, barely covering a dusty grey shirt with old food marks. His green hat looked like it had been chewed by rats, and his red trousers had patches, tears, and mysterious stains all over them.

Ariana wrinkled her nose in disgust. Seriously? Who let this stray dog into the estate?

"Are you... talking to me?" she asked, pointing at herself. The man nodded kindly.

Was he a beggar? A lost servant?

But none of their staff would dare dress like this.

"I—I’m Beanos Adkins. Osvaldo’s uncle," he said, offering a small smile. "Can you tell me where to find him?"

Ariana stared at him like he was contagious.

"So... you’re the madman’s uncle?" she scoffed, folding her arms. "No wonder you look like this."

Her eyes swept over him again, even slower this time. "Is there a curse in your family or something? You Adkins people are always dirty, even though you’re supposed to be the richest in Owlsgrave."

She shook her head. "No class. No taste."

Beanos looked unbothered. "Is he still mad?" he asked, voice quiet.

Ariana rolled her eyes. "Do I look like a messenger to you?"

She pointed toward a tall, modern penthouse. "If you’re looking for him, he’s over there. But don’t expect me to get involved with that lunatic ever again," she said. Her last experiences with Osvaldo have taught her a huge lesson.

Ari didn’t need anyone to tell her not to get close to him again.

Just as she turned to leave, the front door opened and Abby stepped outside.

"What’s going on, Ariana?" she asked. "I heard voices."

Then she noticed Beanos, and her expression instantly soured.

"What is this?" she snapped eyeing the man.

"Hello, Miss Peterson," Beanos said, tipping his dirty hat. "I’m Beanos Adkins. I came to see my nephew."

Abby looked him up and down. Something about him didn’t sit right with her.

"Nephew?" She repeated staring at him. This man looked nothing like an Adkins.

The only family member Dewitt had ever mentioned was Darlington. And even though he was a family member, they had made sure to keep him far away from Osvaldo.

So where did this man crawl out from?

"What do you want from him?" Abby asked coldly.

"You should know Osvaldo’s under our care now. Until he’s better, he belongs to us. That’s how it has always been." Abby said just in case he wanted to steal the wealth.

"Yes, yes... My brother Dewitt told me a bit about that before he passed," Beanos said, voice casual. "May I have a private word, Mrs. Peterson?"

Abby hesitated. Her gut said no, but her curiosity said yes.

He leaned in, lowering his voice.
