Chapter 983
"| think she wanted to be with my father." Heinz said, "That''s why she did it."
"Where is the body?" Zachary asked.
"It''s still with the police."
“Have you closed the case?"
“We''re reaching a conclusion."
"Are Grace and Alice okay?" asked Zachary again.
"Yes, how are Grace and Alice doing? They must be frightened by the news of their mother''s death, aren''t they?” Nerissa also
came to her senses and thought of Grace and Alice.
Heinz nodded. "At first, Grace was frightened and very sad. But she has gone through many hardships before, so her ability to
heal from it is a little stronger. As to Alice, she had a hard time epting it. However, she has also healed and is much calmer
now.
"Yes, Candace was their mother after all!" Nerissa sighed and said, "It''s too tragic. How could Candace choose to walk down that
path? | know she was a tough woman, but I really did not expect her to do this. This is too shocking."
“Mom, if Aunt Candace could be so cruel toward her own daughters, she would only be even crueler to herself." While speaking,
Zachary quickly recovered from his mixed emotions. Although there was regret and distress across his face, he had obviously
calmed down a lot.
Nerissa''s face was still full of sadness and regret, probably because she had experienced too many deaths of her rtives.
"Your aunt has been doing things out of desperation all the time, so she was also very vigorous in her life. Not everyone can
leave as he or she pleases, nor are they able to give up on their family.”
Perhaps due to her old age, Nerissa kept heaving long sighs.
“Heinz, when can the funeral be held?" Zachary questioned.
"We should wait until the police hand over the body to us," Heinz replied. "| think Jensen will be able to handle it in no time, thus
we may get it on the next day or so."
"Once you get the body, you can organize the funeral," Zachary said.
"Yes." Heinz nodded. "That''s why I came here to talk to you about this matter, and then I nned to pick a burial site. | was just
thinking about where to bury her, but after some hesitation, | still feel something''s wrong."
Zachary raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a problem with the burial ce?"
"Yes." Heinz sighed and continued. "Candace had been with three men in her life. | think it is not appropriate for her to be buried
in the Smith family now, and that same goes for my family, as she did not marry my father. Although they have a son together,
their rtionship was stale. | think it is really difficult to find a ce to bury her. | thought that maybe | could consider the
ancestral grave of the Lowe family in Soutnd City. What do you say?"
Zachary shook his head and answered, "The ancestral grave can''t be used because the family motto forbids married daughters
to return to their ancestral graves. So for Aunt Candace, you can only choose another ce."
"Since the Smith family won''t do either, let''s pick a new burial site for her," Heinz suggested.
"I''ll go with you," Zachary said.
"Alright."
“Let''s go then." Heinz stood up and was ready to leave.
The two of them went out together after that and Nerissa saw them off. "I will also pack up and go visit Alice and Grace. | can''t sit
still at home."
"Mom, I''ll arrange a driver to send you there," Zachary said.
"There''s no need to. I''ll have someone take me there. Don''t worry about it. Someone at home would be avable."
"Okay, then we''ll be off."
Then, Heinz and Zachary got into the car and drove to the cemetery administrative office.
The two chose a burial site surrounded by mountains and rivers. After paying the deposit, Heinz''s phone rang.
He nced at the screen and saw that it was Lawrence''s number.
Heinz frowned at this. He went back to the car with Zachary before picking up the phone call.
"Dad?" Heinz answered.
Avoice came from the other end of the line, saying, "| want to see you."
"What''s the matter?" Heinz asked. He was still not that close with his father.
"Can we meet?" Lawrence asked again.
“If you have anything to say on the phone, just tell me. I''ve been busy the past few days and I''m a little tired. If we can''t meet,
just tell me now."
Heinz felt that there was no reason for him to meet up with Lawrence. Moreover, every time they met, he would end up feeling
sad. He had always felt that every time he saw Lawrence, as it was a reminder of Lawrence''s betrayal towards Heinz''ste

"It''s so difficult for me to even see you now," Lawrenceined.
Heinz ignored him and said, "If you have nothing to say, I''ll hang up the phone."
"Fine, I''ll tell you!" Lawrence didn''t linger this time.
"Go ahead.”
"| want to bury Candace in the Jones family''s ancestral grave."
Lawrence''s gentle voice was like a heavy hammer smashing into Heinz''s heart.
Heinz was stunned for some time, and his face was livid. His chest heaved heavily, seeming like it had exploded and blood was
dripping out.
Lawrence continued tantly, "I think we should be able to pick up the body within the next few days."
Heinz''s chest tightened even more, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Zachary saw the expression on Heinz''s face and it did not look very good. He frowned and looked at him with concern.
"When the timees, I''ll bury her in

Lawrence spoke solemnly. Please

"Lawrence!" Heinz roared his name angrily, throwing his courtesy out of the window.
Lawrence was taken aback. "What''s wrong?"
"What do you take me and my
mother for?" Heinz gritted his teeth
and seethed, "Do we anyOl''

Lawrence licked his lips and then
replied, "Candace was my woman.

Heinz sneered. He felt these words were utterly cold. The chill invaded his heart and made him quiver.
He finally saw Lawrence''s shamelessness.
Heinz really didn''t understand how shameless a person could be to be able to make such a request.
He sneered.
He felt suffocated and miserable.
Even if he wanted tough, he couldn''t.
The entire car was filled with the depressive mood around him.
He was frozen by Lawrence''s request.
If he could, he really didn''t want to have a father. It was too suffocating.
“I''m still a member of the Jones family." Lawrence spoke again, "I don''t have any other requests but that."
Heinz snorted in contempt and said, "Is that so? It seems to me that you have more than that."
