"Grandpa Jacob, there's no rush. I'm sure you'll have time to cry later." Jenson's beautiful eyes carried a hint of viciousness as he said that.
"What do you mean? Jenson, Charlotte was fine when she was still in Mammoth Courtyard. However, she died shortly after you took off with her. What did you d o to her?!" Jacob shouted.
Soon, all three of Madam Charlotte's children arrived a t Mammoth Courtyard. When they saw Madam Charlotte's corpse, a great tremor overtook them.
Jacob pointed to Jenson and said, "He’s the one who killed your mother!"
Jasper, Jo, and Julia stared at Jenson indignantly." Jenson, it's all your fault! It was you who invited the mistresses into Tourmaline, that's why my mother became depressed..."
Jenson gritted his teeth and said coldly, "We’re unsure if it was depression that led to your mom’s death. Why would you blindly trust your dad? If you had paid more attention to your mom, maybe she wouldn't have died such a painful death."
"How dare you put the blame on me?!" Jasper said angrily.
Grand Old Master Ares slammed his walking stick on the ground, making a loud bang. Then, he walked to Jasper and said, "Go and take the cloth off your mother and you'll see if Jenson is lying to you."
Jasper looked at Grand Old Master Ares suspiciously and then walked toward Madam Charlotte's corpse with some confusion. He carefully pulled off the cloth and saw Madam Charlotte's bloated appearance. The living creatures in her body were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Ah!" Jasper was terrified.
"How could this happen?" Jacob could not believe what he was seeing.
Jenson scolded Jacob, "Grandpa Jacob, you used witchcraft on Grandma Charlotte and planted the Witchbugs in her body! But you told everyone that she had depression. A vicious man like you doesn't deserve her love."
Jasper, Jo, and Julia were so frightened that they went limp. Once they snapped out of it, tears raced down their faces.
Jacob said, "No... It's not like that... I didn't plant any Witchbugs on her. I just gave her... a drug that would make her absent-minded. It wouldn't kill her."
Jenson said, "Did Madam Nephele give you the drug? D o you know Madam Nephele’s true identity? She's a descendant of the infamous Poison Doctor and is an expert in putting others in harm's way. I can’t believe that you're on her side!"
