The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 525

‘Holy sh*t!’ Alex was so shocked that he felt as if his brain was about to explode and his scalp went numb. If he wasn’t
mistaken, this would be the ashes of a pig. For the past six months, he had been crying in front of his father’s grave when he had nowhere else to express
his sadness.
He had been here at least six times. ‘So I have been talking to a damn pig? What the hell? But the real question is, why was a pig’s ashes placed
into the urn?’
‘Where did my father’s ashes go? Were they swapped?’
‘Could it be that… There weren’t any ashes in the first place?’ Alex was surprised by his own assumptions. ‘Is my father… Not dead?’ He then shook this thought off. Last October, he had seen his father’s corpse when he rushed to the hospital
from his wedding on the day of the car crash. He was the one who sent his body to the incinerator. If he didn’t die from that, he must surely be a god.
However, there was only one other possibility to this. When William was cremated, he didn’t follow him in. The employees at the crematorium had helped with that instead. That would mean someone must have swapped his ashes out during this process. Someone had taken his
father’s corpse. ‘What the f*ck? Which bastard was it? How could they not let go of my father’s corpse? What are they going

to do with it?
Could there be more secrets on his body?’
It was impossible if they wanted to destroy evidence. What other better method than cremation to destroy
evidence completely?
He turned to look at his mother, Brittany. She seemed upset, her vision blurred from tears. How could one be
happy if they were separated from their partner by death?
Pondering for a long while, Alex decided not to tell his mother the truth about the fake ashes. It took a lot for her to accept the fact that her husband had died. He was worried that he would be giving her
false hope, only to face greater disappointment in the end. She might not be able to handle any more mental shocks. If she were to struggle with depression or break
down, it would be unfortunate if she were to go insane from such strong emotions.
Looking at his mother crying uncontrollably in front of an urn of pig ashes, Alex couldn’t help but feel
heartbroken. Checking the time, he immediately said, “Mom, let’s just find… A better grave here and bury the ashes. There
are good graves here too, so I don’t think we need to look for another cemetery.
Since the urn has been here
for quite a while, it must be getting familiar with the environment.”
He figured that they shouldn’t put in too much effort for a mere pig. Being able to have its own gravestone is
a glory to pigs.
Heading back, Brittany handed the black jade pendant to Alex. “Son, this is a pendant that your father used to
