Chapter 192



Jefferson's smile froze when he heard my words, followed by a tentative question, "Why do you ask?"

"I just want to check it out," I admitted.

Jefferson scrutinized me, his gaze tinged with confusion.

I didn't go into details, and I left out the part about Aiden's death being connected to Conrad.

I was sure Jefferson was in the dark about this; otherwise, he would've cut ties with Conrad without a second thought.

"What's wrong?" Instead of prying further, Jefferson voiced his concern.

I remained silent, only saying, "Just take me there, please."

If he was worried, I figured it was best to have him by my side.

Noticing my unease, Jefferson nodded and led me to Aiden's gravesite.

By sheer coincidence, as soon as we arrived, we saw Aiden's parents in the distance. Fiona Martin's sobs and bitter accusations, likely aimed at Haley, echoed across the cemetery.

It didn't feel right to approach them then, so Jefferson and I held back, waiting for Barry and Fiona Martin to leave.
