“Really?” Shane narrowed his gaze in skepticism.

Jackson nodded. “Yes. If you don't believe me, you can call my dad for verification.”

“There's no such need as I believe you. Besides, you wouldn't dare lie to me, as you know the consequences of doing so,” Shane commented as he crossed his legs.

To be honest, it's time to deal with Jacqueline's body after all, and I have been perplexed about what to do with it. There's no way I could bury her beside Mr. and Mrs. Graham. They would probably roll in their graves if I did that. However, if I bury her in a public cemetery, I would be showing her mercy that she doesn't deserve. Coincidentally, Jackson's proposal for him to bury her would solve this problem of mine.

“Fine, you can have her body,” Natalie agreed with a nod.

“Mmm-hmm.” Shane nodded.

Jackson got to his feet. “All right then. I'll head over and make the arrangements.”
