Chapter 1420

"If any of you have a problem with it, keep it to yourselves. And if you can't, go ahead and drop dead-I'll even make sure you're buried, out of respect for my dad!"

The room full of weeping relatives quickly averted their eyes when Tarquin walked in, none daring to meet his gaze.

Even the reporters wisely stepped aside, keeping their cameras down.

"If you dare bury them together, I'll kill myself tonight just to show you!"

Tarquin's voice was icy. "Then do it now. But if you don't, tomorrow I'll make sure you're dragged along and forced to watch my mom and dad be buried together."

"And the rest of you, open your eyes tomorrow and see for yourselves you could never measure up to her."
