“Quicklime? What do you mean?” Gary asked, puzzled.

Cecelia picked up the urn on the table and showed it to him, “Look, take a good look! Are there my mother’s ashes inside? No! It’s all lime! How can you be so heartless? You didn’t even keep her ashes? Are you insane?”

Cecelia got angry and threw lime directly at Gary.

Gary blocked it with his arm. His face was not stained, but his body was completely white.

He could smell it. It was indeed the smell of lime.

“What’s going on? How could this be lime? Cecelia, how could I have replaced your mother’s ashes? I got it from the funeral home and sent it directly to the columbarium. I didn’t even open the urn!”

Cecelia still stared at them. Fearing that she would not believe it, Gary could only swear, “Cecelia, if you don’t believe it, I will swear to God right now. I never touched her ashes. If I did, I’d die a horrible death!’

It was a serious oath!

Cecelia could tell that he wasn’t lying!

Her cold eyes swept over Heather’s face. Heather couldn’t care about the embarrassment at the party, and shook her head in fright, “Cecelia, we didn’t know about this matter. If you didn’t tell me, we wouldn’t know about it. You should check carefully. Did someone make a mistake about your mother’s ashes? This is not a trivial matter!”

“That’s right! I’ll keep investigating!” She had made up her mind to investigate the ashes, and she would not let go of any clues.

Cecelia continued to ask, “Which funeral home was my mother sent. to be cremated after she died?

Were you all present?”

“Of course, we were all there when she passed away. Her ashes were sent to the Peace Mountain Funeral Parlor.”

“Yes.” Gary nodded.

“You saw my mother’s body being pushed into the cremation room?” Cecelia asked again.

“That’s right. We all saw their staff push it in with our own eyes. How could there be anything wrong?

After the cremation, your father got the ashes, and we took the ashes to the columbarium.’

“After my mother died, you didn’t even buy her a decent cemetery, and just sent her to the columbarium? You’re living in a big villa. Aren’t you feeling guilty?” Cecelia asked angrily.

They were so guilty that they couldn’t even lift their heads, Cecelia picked up the urn and said coldly, “I will continue to investigate it. If I find the person who did it, I will kill him!”

There was no sound in the room, and they all felt that Cecelia who came back now was like a devil walking out of hell.

She was so terrible!

On the way back, Cecelia fell into deep thought.

If Gary hadn’t deliberately replaced her mother’s ashes, then this incident must have something to do with the Peace Mountain Funeral Parlor.

The next step was to investigate the Peace Mountain Funeral Parlor, but she didn’t have time to investigate today.

It was almost time for kindergarten to finish school. She had to pick. up her son from school first.

Cecelia said to Verda, “Go to the Central Kindergartens.”

The Central Kindergartens was the best exclusive kindergarten in the whole city.

Those who could take classes here were children from wealthy families who could afford expensive tuition fees.

The Nelson family had arranged the best kindergarten for Andres, hoping that he could get the best education from an early age.

But they didn’t take into account Andres’s special situation. For a child who had lost his language ability like Andres, it was difficult to integrate into the group.

Especially Andres had a withdrawn personality. He didn’t eat or sleep at noon every day at school. He stayed alone in the corner and ignored his teachers and classmates.”

As time went by, the teachers ignored him, and he became a special case in the school.

Today Andres gave the teachers an even bigger headache. Since he came to school in the morning, he had been standing in front of the window without putting down his schoolbag, just looking outside. The teachers at the school thought that the boy from the Nelson family must have mental problems. If it weren’t for the fact that the Nelson family was the head of t he five maior families, they might

have asked the boy to drop out of school.”

Even if the boy paid tuition, it was a waste of their time!

The teachers didn’t know that Andres was smarter than the other children. He didn’t bother to learn those childish things. He would only feel lonely when he stayed with these small children.

He felt very lonely!

He missed Mommy, and he was waiting for Mommy to pick him up from school.

From the morning until now, he had been very uneasy. If Mommy didn’t come to pick him up, what should he do?

Finally, when it was time to leave school, Andres was the first one in front of the line, hoping to see Mommy as soon as he went out.

But when the teachers escorted them out the door, it was Camelia who came to pick him up.

“Andres, I’m here to pick you up. Come home with me!” Camelia came to pick Andres up. When Andres saw her, his little face instantly darkened.

His nose was sour. He felt very upset and even wanted to cry. Mommy didn’t come!

Mommy would never come again!

Seeing Andres’s unhappy face, Camelia comforted him, “Let’s go, Andres. How about I treat you to something delicious?”

She wanted to take Andres away, but Andres shook off her hand and stood at the school gate, refusing to leave.

“Hey? What’s wrong with you kid? Aren’t you going home? School is over now!” Camelia had already picked up the other two kids, so he was the only one refusing to leave.

No matter how Camelia tried to persuade him, Andres held on to the guardrail and refused to leave.

At this moment, a well-dressed lady walked past them with a strong. little boy.

When the little boy saw Andres, he said to his mother, “Look, Mommy, he is the little mute in our class!”

The lady also knew Andres and said, “Don’t play with him. He’s not right in the head!”

Camelia recognized the lady. She was the wife of Mr. Morris Quinsev, a political figure in the Center City, and they were all

members of the Vega Association.

When Mrs. Quinsey’s son said that about Andres, she didn’t lecture the boy. Even Camelia couldn’t stand it.

“Mrs. Quinsey, isn’t it too much for you to say that about him?”

Mrs. Quinsey chuckled, “Miss Shawn, there is indeed something wrong with the child from the Nelson family. My son is in the same class as such a child. I am afraid that he will affect my son!”

Camelia didn’t dare to offend Mrs. Quinsey, so she couldn’t say anything else. Mrs. Quinsey wanted to take her son away, but the boy made a face at Andres and shouted, “Andres has no mother. Why doesn’t he get out of here after school?”

Andres had often been ridiculed by his classmates, but he didn’t care much. He just couldn’t bear others saying that he didn’t have a mother. He had a mother!

At this time, Andres was like an irritated lion cub. He rushed up, grabbed Mrs. Quinsey’s son, and beat him.

The two boys wrestled. Andres scratched the little boy’s face.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing? How dare you hit my son?” Seeing, Andres bullying her son, Mrs.

Quinsey quickly grabbed Andres and pushed him aside, “What are you doing? You are lawless! How dare you hit my son! You little bastard, I’ll teach you a good lesson!”

Mrs. Quinsey raised her hand and was about to hit Andres, but her wrist was firmly grasped by a cold hand.
