With Manny placated, I lock my phone and walk inside my house. It’s funny living in one that Julian designed given how much he detests me. Julian made it nearly impossible to buy a house, either by outbidding me or using his connections to convince the buyer to sell to him instead. He was motivated to make sure I didn’t own a property within the town’s limits so I’d be ineligible to run for mayor, but I was fueled by more than the need to avenge my parents.
