She avoided asking about the details of the burial.

To her, it wasn't more important than having Shane home.

Furthermore, she wasn't interested to know when or where Jacqueline was buried. After all, no one would care about their enemy's funeral.

“I'm coming home now.” Shane checked his watch.

Natalie smiled. “All right, hurry up. The kids and I are waiting for you to have dinner.”

“Sure.” Shane nodded with a gentle expression.

After ending the call, he returned his phone to his pocket and turned toward Jackson. “When do you plan to bury her?” “Three days later.” After pondering for a few seconds, Jackson added, “Within the next three days, I plan to find someplace where she belongs.”

Shane grunted in acknowledgment. “It's up to you. What about the funeral? Are you holding one? Let me give you advance notice that no one will be attending. To those in our circle, the Graham family has been bankrupt since ten years ago. Hence, no one will come to the funeral of the daughter of a disgraced family. Moreover, many are well aware of her wrongdoings too. Therefore, I hope that you would not hold a funeral, for you will be ridiculed for it. More importantly, your parents will suffer the same humiliation.”

Instead of being offended, Jackson just smiled. “Don't worry. I'm a different person now and well aware of the concerns. It had never crossed my mind to hold a funeral for her. To let her leave in peace is a good thing too. All right, Shane, that's it for today. You should head home already as Natalie is getting worried.”



After giving Jackson a slight nod, Shane got into his car without another word.
