Love Has its Will by Selena Lewis Chapter 342
Lorena’s ashes … were gone?
Savanna was surprised.
Seth asked, “Mrs. Young, what should we do?”
Brandon turned his head, thinking that the man who was still asleep had sat up from the bed. He seemed
to hear Seth’s words, and his clear eyes turned cold.
Savanna’s heart raced. She said to Seth, “Tell Jim to take people to go search for it. We must find it.”
Seth nced at Brandon on the bed and saw his messy hair. Brandon was silent. Seth quickly lowered
his head and replied, “Yes.” Seth then left.
Savanna carefully walked back to the bed. Her eyes were fixed on Brandon’s face and watched for the
slightest change in his expression.
Brandon’s face was very pale. He didn’t look good. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood,
especially when he heard that Lorena’s ashes were gone.
Savanna said, “You just rest. I’ll check it out.”
Noticing that Brandon was still silent, Savanna left the room uneasily.
Savanna went downstairs.
Seth was interrogating Aspen.
Aspen knelt in front of Seth and kept apologizing, looking miserable.
When Aspen saw Savannaing down the stairs, she knelt down and walked towards her. She
reached out and hugged Savanna’s leg, crying sorrowfully, “Mrs. Young, something happened at Aldo’s
house two days ago. He gave me the key to the ancestral temple. Last night, when Mr. Raymond
brought Lorena’s cinerary casket back, I opened the door for him. Mr. Raymond took the cinerary casket
to the ancestral temple and ced it there. Then, we left the ancestral temple. I locked the door but lost
the key. However, I remembered the key was hanging on my belt. When I woke up, the key was gone.”
Aspen was crying out of breath.
Savanna did not move. She looked down at Aspen, who was crying desperately, and pondered over
Aspen’s words.
After pondering for a moment, Savanna asked, “Where did you sleepst night? Who did you talk to after
leaving the ancestral temple? Did you drink anything before you fell asleep?”
Aspen stopped crying and recalled, “As usual, I went out of the ancestral temple and saw that there was
no light in the living room. Knowing that everyone is sleeping, I went back to my room to rest.”
Aspen thought for a moment and said, “I didn’t talk to anyone before I went to bed. I was thirsty and
drank a ss of warm water.”
Aspen pointed at the water dispenser. “I got the water from there. There should be no problem.”
Savanna looked at the water dispenser and immediately took a ss of water, handing it to Seth. “Take it
for a test.”
Seth walked out of the vi with the ss of water.
Aspen was still crying. Savanna was a little annoyed. She helped Aspen up. “If you didn’t do it, I wouldn’t
me you. No matter what, you lost the key to the ancestral temple. Aspen, you neglected your duty.”
Aspen’s tears kept flowing. She was extremely sorry. “Mrs. Young, I know I was wrong. You can punish
me however you see fit. Don’t chase me away.”
Aspen’s family was poor. She dropped out of high school. Her father was addicted to gambling, and her
mother needed to take medicine every day. She had a younger brother and a younger sister. Aspen
worked three jobs a day. Being a servant of the
Young family, Aspen spent the least time and got the highest sry out of the three jobs.
So, Aspen was reluctant to leave.
Savanna sighed, “Let’s talk about it after we find the
ashes. Don’t cry anymore.”
Savanna did not me her, so Aspen did not dare to cry anymore and wiped the tears on her face. At
this time, Jim and his men got surveince videos of the funeral home.
Jim said to Savanna, “I checked it, and there is no problem. Both Fabian and Ethan had no chance to
make a move on the ashes.
Savanna nodded and looked out the windows in a trance. “Take it and give it to him.”
Of course, Jim knew who Savanna was talking about. Jim quickly went upstairs and handed the videos
to Brandon.
Brandon watched the videos and narrowed his eyes. A dangerous look shed through his eyes, and his
expression became even colder. He tilted his head and lit a cigarette. In the midst of the smoke, Brandon
saw that after Ethan left in the video, Savanna chased after him. When she returned, Savanna looked a
bit happier. Savanna went out to chase Ethan. Because the surveince camera at the entrance of the
funeral home was broken, it didn’t record what Savanna said to Ethan. Brandon looked at Savanna’s
relieved face in the video, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Seth came back soon. The water in the water dispenser was clear.
After checking all the people, almost no one had any problems, making it difficult to find Lorena’s bone
ashes.
Seth went upstairs to bid farewell to Brandon. Aspen looked upstairs nervously. She said to Savanna in a
trembling voice, “Mrs. Young, will Mr. Young me
me?”
Savanna nced at Aspen and then looked upstairs. Savanna exhaled, and her heart beat fast. Not to
mention Aspen was nervous, even Savanna felt uneasy.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry,” Savanna replied.
Aspen was still apprehensive.
Aspen returned to her room, absent-minded.
Savanna went to the room next to Lorena’s living room. She thought Renee was still sleeping.
Unexpectedly, she had already gotten out of bed and had a head full of messy hair. Renee stood by the
windowsill, looking at something. Hearing the footsteps, she immediately turned her face and
unexpectedly met Savanna’s probing gaze.
Renee’s face was ashen, and she felt agitated. In short, she was in a bad mood. Savanna nced at the
messy sheets and pillowcase. Savanna poked her eyebrows.
“Had a nightmarest night?”
Renee raised her head and took a deep breath. She closed her eyes. A momentter, the panic in her
eyes was gone.
Savanna replied softly and walked back to the bed, sitting on it. Savanna could sense Renee was
anxious.
Savanna said, “Mrs. Young’s ashes are gone. Early in the morning, Jim and Seth searched everywhere
but found nothing. Brandon did not say anything. Mom, his silence does not mean that he is stupid.
Where did you hide Mrs. Young’s ashes?”
When Renee heard that, her expression changed drastically. Her face full of shock, she stuttered, “You
said … Mrs. Young’s ashes are gone?”
Savanna did not answer her. Renee hurriedly asked, “How did they disappear? Did they disappearst
night?”
Renee was incoherent and focused on Savanna’s words. After she pondered over Savanna’s words, her
anxious voice was like the cold wind. “You mean I took Mrs. Young’s ashes?”
Noticing Savanna still did not speak, Renee jumped up anxiously. “Savanna, what do you mean? I’m not
a pervert. Why would I need the ashes of a dead person? I don’t even know where you put her
ashes.”
Perhaps Savanna had expected that Renee would not admit it. Savanna narrowed her eyes and smiled
indifferently, “Last night, you kept pestering me toe over. I asked you to go back to my uncle’s ce,
but you refused. You disappeared for so long, and Mia couldn’t find you anywhere. Did you run away with
Fabian? Tell me. Where did he take you? What did he say to you to make you do such a crazy thing?”
Renee bit her lips and raised her hand to hit Savanna. Savanna was prepared. She reached out and
grabbed Renee’s hand hard which was in the air. Renee frowned in pain.
Savanna said, “Your life is unfortunate, but haven’t you thought about why it is this way? I don’t think it is
because someone has been controlling you. You loved the wrong person. If you had been able to control
your heart back then, how could you end up like this?”
Renee was infuriated by Savanna’s words.
The muscles on Renee’s face trembled.
Renee gnashed her teeth. “Savanna, I am your mother. Are you crazy to say that to me?”
“You haven’t raised me for a day. Moreover, even if I had lived with you, I would just be an illegitimate
child of the Colon family. Back then, you knew you couldn’tpete with Ashley, yet you still gave birth
to me. You were either crazy or stupid.”
Renee’s crazy behavior made Savanna extremely angry.
Savanna felt her crazy mother was being stupid and destroying Savanna’s happiness.

Savanna shook off Renee’s hand. “Hand over the bone ashes before Brandon finds you. Otherwise, I
won’t be able to protect you.”
