My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 361

Chapter 361 

Duncan was seen kneeling before a pile of fire. 

“Was the unburned body on the fire Sheldon?” 

Xeno looked shocked. 

Sheldon’s net worth was worth billions. 

Not only was there no funeral after his death, but they could not even afford to send him to a funeral parlor? 

If Xeno were Sheldon, he would die with his eyes wide open. 

Nash turned his head and glanced at the robust man next to him. 

This was a stage nine great-grandmaster. 

It was unexpected for the Duersons to have hidden such a powerful individual. 

Even the Watsons only had two great-grandmasters, Iron Kick George and Eight Trigram Palm Janson, with powers at stage six and seven. Together, they could rival a stage nine great- grandmaster, but defeating one was another question. 

“Duncan… Mr. Nash is here!” 

Xeno spoke up as a reminder. 

They could not possibly let Mr. Nash see them cremating Sheldon, could they? 

Duncan wiped his tears, trembled as he stood up, and bowed to Nash. He said, “I apologize for not greeting you from afar, Mr. Calcraft. It’s due to the funeral!” 

Nash coldly asked, “Did you kill Sheldon?” 

Duncan looked bewildered. “Mr. Calcraft, although Sheldon wasn’t my biological grandfather, I’ve been with the Duersons for over 20 years. Surely, no one could do such a heinous act?” 

Nash slapped his palm toward the fire pile. 

A true energy extinguished the flames. 

Only the charred skeletal frame remained. It was smoking on the ground. 

“Xeno, take the bones for DNA testing to confirm the identity of the deceased! Every inch must be examined!” 

Nash spoke slowly and resonantly. 

Duncan’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his face instantly turned pale. 

Seeing this, Nash asked in a cold voice, “Where’s Sheldon Duerson?” 

A powerful aura enveloped Duncan’s entire body. 

Feeling as though he had been encased in ice, Duncan could not help but shudder and gulp. He then said, “He… He was buried by me!” 

Xeno was furious. “Do you really think we’re idiots?” 

If Sheldon was truly dead, Duncan surely would not create the illusion of cremation here. 

He would have let Mr. Nash see Sheldon’s corpse. 

Even though Xeno had been fooled, Mr. Nash would not be so easily deceived. 

“My grandfather’s last wish was to be buried with an intact corpse… so… so I…” 

“Take me to see the body!” Nash spoke indifferently. 

Sheldon was involved in the extermination case of the Youngs. 

He was a dead man. 

Nash had to see him, alive or dead. 

Otherwise, the entire Duersons would be annihilated. 

Duncan swallowed again, and he led Nash to the private forest behind the villa. 

Pine and cedar trees were planted here, and there was a grave in the middle, in which lay a coffin made of yellow pear wood. 

Xeno jumped into the grave and forcefully pushed open the coffin lid. 

Inside lay Sheldon, clothed in formal attire, his face bloodless and lips purple. 

Gold, silver, and jewels were placed around him as burial items. 

Xeno reached in to feel Sheldon’s carotid artery for a moment and said, “No pulse, stiff corpse, and no temperature; he should be dead!” 

Nash nodded and slowly exhaled. 

Duncan, overwhelmed with sorrow, said, “My grandfather has already paid with his life. I hope you’ll leave his body intact!” 

Xeno jumped out of the grave.
