Darlene was not a fool. The meaning of his words was self–evident.

Avery looked at her. He was 100% sure that Darlene would not refuse him at the of losing her younger brother’s ashes.

When he spoke again, there was a hint of ridicule in his tone. “Take off your coat and stand in front of me. I won’t repeat it. Do you have other choices?”

Whether it was the Darlene who loved him deeply a year ago, or the Darlene who hated him and feared him now, neither of them had the confidence to say the word “no” in front of Avery.

Darlene met his gaze and looked at him calmly. She then said, “What if I don’t do it?”

Avery moved the urn in his hand closer to the fish tank. “Then use your brother’s

ashes…”

“Whatever. I don’t care,” she interrupted him, her voice calm and steady. It seemed that the ashes weren’t anything important to her.

Avery thought he had heard something wrong. This should not be what Darlene said.

He knew very well how much Darlene cared about her younger brother.

Nigel was dead, his ashes should be cherished by Darlene.

But now, Avery seemed to be unable to see through Darlene. He even began to hate the person who killed Nigel.

If Nigel were still alive, Darlene could not have been so calm and indifferent. If Avery placed a knife on Nigel’s neck and asked Darlene to kneel, she would do it immediately.

After a second thought, Avery came around. “You’re right. There is no afterlife in this world. What’s the difference between the ashes of the dead and the soil on the ground?

It’s the same whether we keep them or not.”

As he spoke, he closed the urn and threw it to the side.

Unfortunately, such a good leverage to control Darlene was no longer useful.
