Chapter 708 Someone’s Been Tending the Graves
Speaking of this, Sir Smith suddenly looked at Joe as if he remembered
something. “You don’t need to continue arranging for someone to tend to your
parents’ graves every day… I…”
“Tend graves?” Joe frowned at the words. “I haven’t arranged for anyone.”
Sir Smith was puzzled. “But today…”
Sir Smith had the habit of visiting Joe’s parents’ graves when he had free time.
Today, when he went, he found traces of offerings on the graves. He originally
thought Joe arranged it and even believed that Joe was becoming more
attentive because he was getting married.
Enter title…

However, it turned out not to be Joe’s doing.
Joe also furrowed his brow. He informed Sir Smith about what he had witnessed
during his last visit to the graves with Charlotte. This left Sir Smith even more

The Smith Family didn’t have many relatives, and very few would voluntarily go

to pay respects at Joe’s parents’ graves. Who could have left the offerings

Joe opened a file on his desk containing information about the man’s life.
The man was Ralph’s college classmate.
Over a decade ago, the man had been sentenced to prison for white-collar
crime, and it was Ralph who had taken care of his wife and children, even
financially supporting his child through college.
After his release from prison, the man had learned that Ralph had tragically
passed away, and he felt deeply saddened. In his grief, he had regularly visited
Joe’s parents’ graves.
His identity had been verified, and his story checked out. Joe nodded, “You don’t
have to be scared. We were just curious about who had been tending to my
parents’ graves, and we had no other intentions.”
The man quickly nodded and left, which was the matter’s end.
A couple of weeks later, Charlotte had just finished a meeting when she saw Joe
