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 glanced 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 rood. 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 Savanna coming 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 placed 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! 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 sleep last 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 glass 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 glass of water, handing it to Seth. “Take it for a test.”
Seth walked out of the villa with the glass of water.
Aspen was still crying. Savanna was a little annoyed. She helped Aspen up. “If you didn’t do it, I wouldn’t blame 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 salary 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 blame her, so Aspen did not dare to cry anymore and wiped the tears on her face. At
this time, Jim and his men got surveillance 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 aslies.
Savanna nodded and looked out the windows in a trance. “Take it and give it to him.”
