Chapter 56 The Question of the Grave

Jensen suddenly couldn’t remember what it was he had ever liked about Sharon.

This woman might have been fiery and sharp, different from Natalie’s gentle nature, but why did the same face he once thought attractive now feel nauseating to look at?

Mrs. Summers, older and more experienced, noticed the disgust and murderous intent in Jensen’s eyes. She quickly tugged Sharon’s arm.

“Mr. Luke, Sharon only said those things because the pain was too much. She didn’t mean it. No matter what, Natalie was once part of our family as an adopted daughter. Now that she’s gone, how could we possibly dig up her grave? And Sharon has been here in the hospital since her hand was broken.”

Jensen didn’t even glance at her. His gaze stayed locked on Sharon, voice as cold as frost.

“She may be here, but to get something done doesn’t require lifting her own hands, does it? Sharon, five years ago you saved me. What I promised you, I will never go back on. Before you die, I will grant you the status and honor of Mrs. Luke. But you should never have touched Natalie’s grave.”

“What are you talking about?”

Sharon frowned.

She hadn’t expected Jensen to see her at her ugliest. She had been stunned and at a loss, but now hearing his accusation, she truly felt confused.

“What grave? Why would I bother with Natalie’s grave?”

‘I’ll give you one more chance. Hand over Natalie’s ashes, and I’ll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise…”

Though Jensen didn’t finish the sentence, the cold threat in his tone was enough to make anyone’s heart pound in fear.

Mrs. Summers opened her mouth to defend her daughter, but Jensen’s words sliced through like a blade.
