Cecelia waved her hand to stop him and said with a serious

expression, “They are not ashes! There is something wrong with my mother’s ashes!”

Cecelia had a keen sense of smell, so she had discovered it!

Verda asked in shock, “What? They are not ashes? What are they?”

The two kids widened their eyes and stared at Cecelia on the ground.

She rubbed the thing carefully with her fingers and said, “Quicklime! It’s quicklime!”

“Quicklime?”

Verda and the workers were so shocked that they fell silent. Then, Verda quickly lay prone on the ground and smelled it. There was indeed the smell of quicklime..

He then asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Miss Linsey, why is the urn containing quicklime?”

Cecelia could not figure it out either, so she said, “Go fetch some water!”

“Yes!”

When he brought a bottle of mineral water over, Cecelia filled a small container with a little powder and poured the water into it. When the quicklime met the water, it immediately boiled, emitting white smoke and a burst of heat.

Cecelia stared at the mixture in the container and said, “It is undoubtedly quicklime! When quicklime meets water, it will produce calcium hydroxide and turn into slaked lime. The boiling, water vapor, and heat are all its chemical reactions.”

While speaking, she kept blinking her eyes and thinking about why her mother’s ashes had turned into quicklime.

If Cyrus had not fallen, she would not have noticed the smell or discovered it was quicklime instead of her mother’s ashes in the urn.

Cyrus scratched his little head and asked, “Mommy, what’s going on?”

Cecelia seriously said, “Cyrus and Max, there is something wrong. with your grandma’s ashes. I’m going to find out the reason. I’ll ask people to send you home first.

“Okay!”

After arranging for her subordinates to cond the kide back. Cocolis.

said, “Verdă, pick up the urn on the ground. Let’s go!”

3/4 When they returned to the columbarium, Verda kicked open the door of the administrator’s office, grabbed the administrator by the collar, and pressed him onto the table.

The administrator was so scared that he raised his hands in surrender, saying, “Sir, we can talk. Please don’t hit me.

“Listen! Miss Linsey wants to ask you something! You must tell the truth! If you dare to lie, I will chop off your fingers!”

Snap!

Verda stabbed a knife into the table only two centimeters away from the administrator’s fingers.

The administrator trembled with fright while shouting, “Ah! I don’t dare to lie! Miss Linsey, please ask whatever you want to know.” Cecelia walked in, put the urn on the table, and said, “This is my mother’s urn. I took it from here not long ago. But I found what it contains was quicklime instead of her ashes!

Have you ever touched the ashes in the urn?”

Then, she fiercely banged on the table with murderous intent in her eyes.

“No! It’s impossible! Miss Linsey, we’ve never touched the urns here. We keep them properly and never touch them without permission. This is our rule.

The administrator was so scared that his legs shook violently, so she knew he dared not lie.

“If so, can the visitors who come to worship the deceased with flowers do such a thing?”

Cecelia thought of the jacaranda, wondering whether it had something to do with the disappearance of the ashes.

“No! The place where the flowers are placed is outside. There is a door between it and the place where the ashes are stored. Visitors have no access to urns.

“Can you guarantee no one has tampered with my mother’s urn since it arrived here?” Cecelia asked.

“Yes, I can guarantee. No one has touched it. We have surveillance cameras! Besides, no one wanted to touch the ashes, right?”

Ordinary people would not touch the ashes of the dead because it might bring bad luck.

Cecelia continued, “That is to say, the urn has been placed there since it was delivered and no one has moved it righ12”

“Yes!”

“One more question. How long have you been working here?”

“Six… six years.”

Cecelia asked Verda to let go of the administrator and ordered, “I need to know who brought my mother’s ashes here.”

The administrator took out several thick registration books according to the time of Leila’s death and hurriedly flickered through them. After a while, he said, “It is Mr. Gary that sent it here in person. Here is his signature. It is unmistakable.”

Cecelia looked at the book and confirmed it was indeed her father’s signature.

The date was August 6 five years ago on which day her mother had passed away.

“Check the surveillance video. I want to know who has come to visit my mother recently.

Cecelia would not miss any clues!

The administrator had no choice but to play the surveillance video. A man wearing a black hooded long windbreaker had come to visit her mother yesterday afternoon. And he had left after putting the jacaranda in the grid.

The man had been wearing a hat and a mask, so they could not see his face or determine his identity.

But according to his figure, Cecelia guessed he might be in his twenties but could not figure out who the mysterious man was for the time being..

Before leaving, she coldly warned, “You can keep your fingers for now! I hope you did not lie! If I find out the disappearance of my mother’s ashes has anything to do with your fault at work, I will raze this place to the ground and bury you and your colleagues with her!” After finishing her harsh words, Cecelia left with Verda.

Gary!

She would investigate her father Gary next!

Less than two hours after the Linsey family banquet, news related to the Linsey family came out one after another.

Here was what was related to Gary, “Business tycoon Gary Linsey cheated in his second marriage, and his intimaté photos with his lover were exposed to the public.”

Ophelia was also on the news, “Miss Ophelia, a beauty in the Center City, actually wore fake vera brand, and she was slapped in the face by the genuine version.

Heather’s news was also very funny, “Heather Done, a rich lady, performed a striptease at the birthday party and shocked the audience.”

In addition to their family being in the news, Sean was also doomed, “The Linsey Group’s CEO Sean Gusto was trapped in the bathroom, and he was covered in s hit. Here are the photos.”

Many media reported news related to the Linsey Group one after another. People on social media watched it with excitement and left a lot of comments in the comment area.

“Gary Linsey cheated again? Didn’t they say that he is a good man? Three days ago, he said in an interview that he only loves his wife. What a slap in the face!”

“The show of affection ended up backfiring. Why was Heather Done dancing like a zombie?”

“The daughter of a wealthy family still wears fakes. How shocking!” “Mr. Gusto is the worst. Trapped in the bathroom? Haha, I can smell sh it through the screen! It’s disgusting!”

Everyone was talking about it online. In the living room of the Linsey family, Gary called his subordinate and said furiously, “Hurry up! Deal with it quickly! Suppress all the news! No matter what method you use!”

Back in the living room, Heather was still crying. Seeing him coming, she yelled, “It’s all because of you! I made a fool of myself because of you!”

She blamed Gary for today’s problems.

“Stop talking. I’m also disgraced!” Gary was very annoyed.

Heather cried in front of Gwyneth, “Mom, Gary is seeing another woman outside. Please help me!”

“As I said, I’m not seeing her!” Gary refused to admit it.

“Gary said no. He wouldn’t do that. It must be some false news!”

Gwyneth was partial to her son.

Ophelia thought of something, and said, “Mom, I also believe that Dad would not cheat on you. In my opinion, there must be someone behind this incident today! Otherwise, why would all of us have suffered?”

“Who is playing tricks?”

If it weren’t for Ophelia, no one would have thought of this.

Thinking about it carefully, they realized something. Today Gary’s affair was exposed. Heather disgraced herself when she was stripping and scratching in public. Ophelia was exposed for wearing a fake brand, and she also disgraced herself when she was tickling her mother.

Even Sean was no exception. He was locked in the bathroom, had severe diarrhea, and was sent to the hospital.

They all had accidents, but one person was safe and sound.

At this time, all of them thought of one person, and that was Cecelia. “Did Cecelia do it?” Heather was furious at the thought of that face.

“I suspect it’s her. She came to the banquet with malicious intentions. She came here today to take revenge on us! It must be her!” Ophelia hated her guts.

“This girl is outrageous! Call her back! I have to ask her!” Gary also had to suspect that she did it.

Cecelia had not been burned to death back then, and now she was here to get back on them!

Just when the Linsey family was furious, Cecelia walked into the living room coldly carrying the package.

“No need to call. I’m back!”

Everyone raised their heads when they heard the sound. When they saw Cecelia appearing at the door in black, they all stood up in shock.

“Cecelia! You came back just in time! Dad has something to ask. you!” Ophelia glanced at her angrily.

Gwyneth’s face darkened when she saw Cecelia. Heather hated Cecelia’s guts when she saw Cecelia again. If it weren’t for her image, she would have rushed to Cecelia and hit her.

“Cecelia, let me ask you, did you ruin your aunt’s birthday party today?” Gary asked.

Heather couldn’t help it either, and shouted angrily, “Cecelia, tell me the truth, did you do it?”
