'Samar, huh?' Nick thought. 'I'm not surprised that she's searching for Vernon's killer.'
'Although, I don't think it's because she is emotional and loved him so much as a father figure.'
'Vernon might have been nice on the surface, but there was barely any true feeling behind his eyes. When Wyntor died, he just said a couple of words before immediately talking about his money.'
'I believe someone like Samar would realize that.'
'It's probably more of a respect thing. The head of the Melfions was killed, and she believes it is her task to find the killer.'
'Aria knows that it was me, but she never told Samar. Even after my perceived death. Samar probably suspects me, but she was smart enough not to ask me directly.'
'If I found out that somebody was trying to dig up dirt on me, I would have seen that as an attack on me and as resistance to the necessary change of Crimson City.'
