Her mother didn't want her daughter, who was a baby at the time, targeted too. She then left Patty in an orphanage. She questions Dante why do people who are targeted by devils end up dead and will she too die by demons? Dante responds with a "who knows?". She then goes on to say she can care less for inhertience and successions. What she wants to do is use whatever money she earns to give the orphange she was in sweets & clothes.

She seemingly finds her, but it is revealed to be a demon in disguise. Dante arrives in time to save Patty. The Hotel Manager from earlier then appears and tells her that he will have to kill her, but is intimidated by Dante and told to go away. He then runs away in fear.
The brothers then await for Patty's arrival, anticipating she didn't arrive on time and the inheritance is a fake. However, the doorbell rings. A woman then arrives, claiming to be Patty Rowell.
