Chapter 1570

The discovery of three bodies buried weeks ago raised a pressing question. If Winnie were still alive, who did those bodies belong to?

There were too many unanswered questions. Ben decided to focus on calming Jamie for now. "Even if you want to look into this, now isn't the time.

Charlie woke up from his nap in the afternoon, ate the meal the housekeeper prepared for him, and promptly went back to sleep.
