Chapter 898: The Discovery of a Female Corpse

Grandpa Pace stared at Tina in astonishment. He had always known she was perceptive, but he never expected her to see through his thoughts so easily. Tina spoke calmly, "As the head of the family, it's time for you to consider letting go of unnecessary things."

For a moment, Grandpa Pace was speechless, as if lost in thought over her words. Tina didn't press him further.

Just then, the butler approached. "Sir, Miss, Jared is here."

Tina froze for a second. Hadn't he just left?

Grandpa Pace turned his head, smiling at Tina. He wondered how much longer this granddaughter of his would stay by his side. "Let him in," he said. Jared, tall and upright, entered the room. Seeing Grandpa Pace, he greeted him politely. "Grandpa."

Tina raised an eyebrow. That "Grandpa" was spoken with ease, without the slightest hesitation.

Grandpa Pace chuckled. He was clearly pleased with Jared. "You just met my precious granddaughter today, and now you're back already? Missing her so soon?" Jared's lips curved slightly, his gaze warm and direct as it landed on Tina. "As long as I haven't married Tina, I'll think about her every day."

He paused, his tone turning grave. "But I'm here for another important matter as well."

Tina looked at him, her expression sharp. "What happened?"

Jared's demeanor grew serious. A shadow crossed his brows as he said in a low voice, "Tonight, authorities stopped a suspicious vehicle during a checkpoint inspection. Inside, they found a corpse-a young woman whose heart had been removed."

Tina's face darkened. "No other injuries on the body? Has the person transporting the corpse been arrested? Is this the first case in Ashbury?"
