The Viloki Sun can exclusively report that an ex-employee of Hero Pharm has come forward with new information about the “myriad stalkers” who harassed the Foix Hammick family in the years prior to Mireille Foix’s disappearance.

“It was hell to be that family—you never knew if a stranger on the street was unnaturally obsessed with Mireille or Hëró or, worse … their little girls,” he notes. “I’m not surprised Hëró sent the girls away and isolated himself completely. There were always whisperings that something was wrong with him. Hëró refused to be disturbed while working, so his team of advisers frequently kept important information from him. He wasn’t quite right in the head; he couldn’t handle reality.”

Who are these mysterious advisers? All we can surmise is that Tiro Nítuchí, Hëró’s right-hand man, who now jockeys for the CEO role, was surely among them.

But does this employee have any theories as to why Mireille Foix disappeared? Readers will remember that the Sun exclusively printed excerpts of the report in which the police commissioner concluded she left her family—and the spotlight—of her own accord.

“Why do I think Mireille left? I think she got tired of all the negative attention from Hero Pharm’s issues, which sullied her brand as ‘nouveau queen of Viloxin,’” our source says. “Maybe she even killed herself.”

We approached Antella Arnoix, Hero Pharm board member and matriarch of the Arnoix family—the oldest known family on Viloxin—for comment. It is speculated that Antella Arnoix and Mireille Foix Hammick were very close. However, her representative informed the Sun that “the Arnoix family doesn’t discuss the Foix Hammick family anymore.”

It seems the “nouveau queen of Viloxin” has lost her reputation among the aristocratic Viloki set. And what about Arnoix’s new neighbor in the posh suburb of Mitella—Mireille Foix Hammick’s brother-in-law, Teddy Hammick? On that subject, Arnoix did not remain mum.

“Clouded Cage is eroding the moral fabric of Viloki society with its toxic inventions,” conveyed her rep. Is the Arnoix family furious, perhaps, that Clouded Cage founder, Teddy Hammick, recently expanded his Mitella mansion, absorbing the meadow plot next to their centuries-old castle? Or perhaps they’re miffed because they were granted an ownership interest in Hero Pharm by Hëró Hammick in the 1970s, but there’s been no such luck with Hëró’s brother and his prize monolith, Clouded Cage?
