Chapter 90: Curse Concealment Art

To avoid having to fabricate more lies to support the one he told to avoid returning to Janice's villa, Ace texted Mandy to inform her that he was heading back alone. Then, following Dame Wasp's directions, he made his way to the lake house, waving at the villa's security as he passed.

Arriving at the lake house, Ace noticed his uncle's boat at the dock, but there was no sign of his parents or relatives. Heading inside, he found Danny indulging in a lobster feast, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings. The aroma was tempting, but resisting the urge to join in, Ace began searching the house. When he couldn't find their parents, he asked, "Danny! Where is everybody?"

"Holy shit!" Danny yelped in fright, spilling lobster claw juice onto his pleated shorts. Glaring at Ace and pointing at his groin, he sighed heavily. "Ace, look what you did." He reached for a napkin, muttering as he dabbed at the stain, "This is definitely going to leave a mark. Ugh."

"Just soak it. Now, where is everybody?" Ace repeated, narrowing his eyes in irritation as Danny, instead of answering, took a seat on the couch and resumed eating his lobster claw. After sucking the meat out of a claw, Danny finally responded, "Your mom freaked out when she saw you leave with Mandy. To calm her down, your dad decided to take her to some couples' spa thing—on William's recommendation, no less.

"With you gone and your dad leaving, my dad snapped at my mom, blaming her: 'You always find a way to ruin my fishing trips, blah blah blah!' And, of course, my mom wasn't having it. She went ballistic, yelling back, 'You're never considerate of me like your brother is of Mary. Look at him—waiting on her hand and foot, blah blah blah!'
