Thanks to the bishop’s intervention, they recognized me as a victim and forced Gazaru to compensate me. I obtained his firm and personal assets, including part of the money the guild made by selling him off.

While the Gazaru Commercial Firm got dismantled because of the scandal, I got to keep everything. That comprised the operating rights, employees, buildings, and materials. Traitre essentially absorbed Gazaru and grew larger within a day.

People injured by the toxic soap were all cured with healing magic. I even personally sent them real Traitre soap as an apology. They agreed to bury the hatchet when I promised to count them among my customers moving forward.

Mireille and I returned to the Merchant Guild a few days later to deal with the last formalities, but Arte stopped us on our way out.

“Once again, let me apologize for the trouble,” said Arte.

“Please don’t,” I responded. “None of this was your fault. In fact, your swift investigation helped us minimize the damage to our brand. So, I’m very thankful.”

Arte smiled and extended her hand toward me.

“Thank you, Miss Ellie.”

“No, I should be the one thanking you, Miss Arte,” I said, shaking her hand.

“There is one last thing,” she added, lowering her voice. “After interrogating Gazaru again, he confessed that someone pushed him to steal from you. He says his accountant, Grantz Carlton, is responsible. Sadly, our hands are tied as we have no proof.”

“I see... Thank you for letting me know, Miss Arte. Since Gazaru’s firm merged with mine, this man is now one of my employees. I’m afraid that, given the circumstances, a new investigation would only add to the confusion and further hurt my firm. Either way, would you mind leaving him to me?”

Arte nodded, then said, “All right. I only ask that you be careful.”

After bidding Arte farewell, Mireille and I headed to the former headquarters of the Gazaru Commercial Firm. A new sign that read “Traitre Commercial Firm” had been put up to replace the previous one.

“We’re back,” I said.

“Welcome back, Miss Ellie, Miss Mireille,” greeted all employees in unison, bowing their heads.

The Merchant Guild had already established that these people had nothing to do with Gazaru’s crimes. So, they were allowed to keep their jobs and became my employees instead.

I acknowledged them by waving my hand, then entered the main office and sat on a beautiful chair. The furniture Gazaru had been using was quite gaudy, so I had Mireille redecorate the entire office to suit my tastes as soon as I’d gotten it.

“Mireille,” I said.

“I’ll have someone fetch Grantz for you at once,” she said, not needing me to say another word.

I was catching up with some work while sipping the tea Mireill had brought me when a knock echoed.

“E-Excuse me,” said Grantz, opening the door. “W-What can I do for you, Miss Ellie?”

His eyes kept darting away from my face. I could tell the man was a nervous wreck and understood it was because his fate was in my hands. I could fire him on the spot and make the reason public so he’d never find another job again.
