Chapter 1764
Charlotte never thought that Heather had left her such a huge gift before she died!
Was Riley not the child of Heather and Malcolm?
Charlotte narrowed her eyes and took her phone out.
“Roanne, get me some bodyguards to accompany me to Heather’s mansion.”
If she took the child from Malcolm, she would not be afraid that Luna would disobey her.
However, Charlotte did not expect that when she, Roanne, and the bodyguards arrived at the mansion where Heather and Malcolm were staying, it was already empty.
Roanne led the men to search around the mansion, but there was no one to be found. She anxiously returned to Charlotte.
“What do we do now?”
Charlotte squinted. “Since no one is staying here, burn the building to the ground.”
Were Joshua and Jim not investigating Heather’s death? Well, she would give them direction, then!
Heather just died and Malcolm vanished with the child, even burning the place to the ground.
Was there not a better suspect than Malcolm?
Roanne naturally knew what Charlotte was thinking. She furrowed her brows. “Charlotte, about Luna…”
With only a DNA test report but without the child called Riley, would Luna truly submit to them?
Charlotte sneered and turned to look at Roanne. “I’ll have my way of doing it naturally.”
Initially, Luna and Jim thought of handing over Heather’s body to Malcolm and letting him settle her funeral matters.
After all, he was married to Heather. The closest person to her should be Malcolm, and not the children of her adoptive parents.
However, no matter how hard Luna and Jim tried, they could not get in touch with Malcolm. H e seemed to have vanished from the earth.
“Malcolm, that useless piece of trash!” rebuked the Landrys’ butler fiercely as he stood before Heather’s tombstone.
Even if there were no feelings between Malcolm and Heather, Heather still gave birth to a daughter with Malcolm.
At that moment, Heather had passed away, but not only did Malcolm not show himself, he also did not let his child see Heather for the last time.
Heather was his wife, yet he threw the responsibility of dealing with her funeral matters to the Landrys who had no relationship with Heather anymore!
Jim sighed and gently patted on the butler’s shoulder, signaling for him to stop talking.
Although Heather was an evil woman and had done many evil things when she was with the Landrys, before Luna returned home to the Landrys, Heather did accompany Rosalyn and Charles for many years.
At that moment, having a funeral and setting up a tombstone for her was like payment in return.
Luna, in black, stood before Heather’s tombstone. She gravely placed the bouquet of white flowers in front of Heather’s tombstone.
“I promised you I’ll bring your ashes back to Sea City so that you could be with Aura. I won’t g o back on my word. Your ashes are on the way back already, but your child, Riley, is still in Merchant City. I also set up a tombstone here. When Riley grows up and if she misses you, she can come and visit you.”
Then, Luna bowed deeply in front of Heather’s tombstone. She took one more look at the photo on the tombstone before turning and leaving.
“How thoughtful of you, Ms. Luna,” praised the butler repeatedly as they made their way back.
“If it was me, I wouldn’t have thought to send Heather’s ashes back to her home and even set u pa tombstone here in Merchant City for her daughter to visit her.”
Luna smiled bitterly. “That’s because you have Mickey with you. If you were like me, who’s always apart from their children, you would’ve thought the same, too. Sometimes, when I can’t sleep, I’d think about how when I die, I’d separate my tombstone and ashes. One will be i n Banyan City for the children, and the other in Merchant City, so I can be with my family.”
Jim furrowed his brows a little at Luna’s words. He looked at Luna and asked, “So, are you planning to never return to Banyan City with Joshua?”
