I’m Someone Else

Chapter 253

Rose left a good impression on him. Olivia told him that the Elliotts had planned to use their priceless curing herb on him just to get rid of the poison, and now they were giving him all their quality manroots. He now saw them as friends. It’s just normal for friends to have a meal and get to know each other better. However, one thing puzzled him. What’s with the look on her face? Why is she looking shy? It’s just a get-together. Nothing to be shy about. Ah well, I suck when it comes to what girls think. I give up.

He drove away, and Rose saw him off with a smile. “I knew I was right about you. Even Grandpa thinks highly of you. You’re more than meets the eye, that’s for sure. Interesting.” Rose might not have figured out everything, but she wasn’t stupid. The fact that Raymond gave something so precious to Thomas meant he knew something. I’m going to find out what. Get ready to answer my questions, Grandpa.

Once back at the office, Thomas approached Olivia and handed her the thermos. “Time for your meds.”

Olivia put her documents down, took the thermos, and gulped everything down. She didn’t even ask what was in there, for she knew Thomas would never hurt her. Everyone else might, but not him.

Seeing this filled Molly with envy. He’s so nice to her. He listens to everything she says and comes up with so many good meds for her. If he gave me one-tenth of that level of attention, I would die happy. She shook her head and pretended she saw nothing, going back to work while holding back her jealousy and complaint.

“You should catch a break. Bet you haven’t eaten anything.” Thomas bought some food on his way back and he laid them out on the table now, telling the ladies to eat.

Olivia smiled. She skipped out on dinner, and now her stomach was protesting loudly.

Thomas’ phone then rang, and he checked it out. Chloe? He quickly took the call. “Chloe? What happened? It’s late.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Thomas! My mother… She…” Chloe broke down into tears before she could even finish one sentence, and Thomas panicked.

Why is she crying? Did someone hurt her? No way. She has a pair of powerful bodyguards protecting her. There’s no way anyone can hurt her. “Calm down, Chloe. Tell me what happened.”

“Y-You have to come to Westhill Cemetery.” She cried again. Chloe was in a bad state. Her breathing was labored, and she was not even making sense. She must be distraught.

Thomas didn’t stay much longer. He said goodbye to Olivia and drove to the cemetery, but he was confused. It’s the dead of the night. What on earth happened?

Chloe was kneeling before her mother’s grave, crying her heart out. Adam stood beside her. They went to the mall earlier, courtesy of Adam. He didn’t know why, but he could feel that his daughter was not in a good mood, so he dragged her along, hoping she could distract herself.

The moment they came out, someone from the cemetery called, saying that the grave of Adam’s wife was desecrated. Horrified, they quickly came to the cemetery, and the sight of their family’s torn-down grave left them speechless.

They couldn’t believe someone would go so far. There was a special place in hell for those who would desecrate a grave. Not even purgatory would want them.

Chloe was beside herself. She went down on her knees and broke down in tears.

One of the staff members profusely apologized, “We’re really sorry. We take full responsibility for this, and our men are already looking into this, but we still have no idea who desecrated the grave.”

Adam sighed, tears streaming down his face. He was too tired to say anything. He lived his whole life as an upright citizen and never crossed anyone, and yet fate kept raining down misfortune on him.

They could’ve just come after me. My wife’s been dead for many years. Why did they disturb her?

The gravestone was smashed into pieces, and the urn was taken away. How much do they hate us? This goes beyond a regular grudge.

“Mom!” Chloe roared and quickly picked up the gravestone shards.

Adam went ahead and stopped her. “Calm down, Chloe!”

“Who did this? Why did they do this to Mom?”

“Alright, calm down. We’ll think of something once Thomas gets here. He’ll find out who did this,” assured Adam. He was putting his faith in Thomas right now, and he pulled his daughter into his embrace. The shards were sharp, and they had already cut through Chloe’s skin when all she did was pick up a few pieces. If he didn’t stop her, she would end up with a broken hand.

The staff member shook his head in resignation. Let the dead rest in peace. That’s an unwritten rule. I can’t believe someone would break that rule. He sympathized with the Hahns, but he had no idea what to say. He couldn’t even imagine how angry and devastated they must be. All he could do was leave and continue his investigation. Then, he would come back and give them the truth.

Thomas arrived after a short while, and the sight of the desecrated grave made him freeze.

“Thomas!” Chloe fell into his arms.

“I-Is this…” Thomas had a guess who this grave belonged to, but he couldn’t even bring himself to say it out loud.

“It’s my mother’s grave. Do you know who did this? Why did they do this? We never did anything wrong, so why?” Chloe cried.

Thomas felt something explode in his mind. His eyes turned bloodshot and he clenched his teeth down hard. It wasn’t the Hahns’ fault. The only reason someone desecrated this grave was because they wanted to get to him.

It was his fault Chloe was dragged into a case of assassination, and the answer for the reason for this desecration was clear. They were after him.
