Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1020: No Body Found

"What’s going on, Lord Keaton?"

Thomas Grant looked puzzled. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But instead of answering, Kyle Keaton asked, "Have you ever seen July Quinn’s body?"

"No, I haven’t. Why?" Thomas Grant still looked bewildered.

"July Quinn might not be dead!" Kyle Keaton’s answer left Thomas Grant stunned.

Back then, he was unconscious, so not seeing July Quinn’s body was normal.

But Thomas Grant and others had been at the rescue site all along; if even he hadn’t seen July Quinn’s body, then something was definitely off.

"That’s impossible, right? President Donovan said back then that the body was severely damaged, too horrific, so it was transported directly to the funeral home for cremation after being found by their people."

Thomas Grant thought it was too far-fetched to suddenly claim July Quinn wasn’t dead.

Who would want to be declared dead when they’re not?

But Kyle Keaton insisted, "Whether she’s dead or not, won’t exhuming July Quinn’s grave make it clear?"

Thomas Grant thought that digging up a grave was terribly disrespectful.

But he couldn’t defeat Kyle Keaton’s persistence.

So that afternoon, Thomas Grant reluctantly gathered over a dozen Vanguard War Generals to dig up the grave.

As they swung their shovels in July Quinn’s grave, Kyle Keaton stood by the side, staring intently at July Quinn’s smiling photograph.

After digging for a long time, they finally uncovered the so-called urn.

Patrick Sullivan personally brushed off layers of sand and handed the urn to Kyle Keaton.

Kyle Keaton took the urn, expressionless.

But his slightly trembling hands betrayed his inner feelings.

Not until he opened the urn and saw not even a speck of sand inside did he smash it on the ground, kicking over the tombstone.

"July Quinn! How dare you deceive me!"

Only God knows how he made it through these days!

If not for the belief of avenging those who killed her, he might have already drunk poison to follow her.

Kyle Keaton couldn’t imagine what would have happened if he’d lost control of his emotions and followed July Quinn by setting her example when he later discovered she was not dead.

Would July Quinn be moved and follow him into the afterlife?

No.

Given July Quinn’s character, that seemed impossible.

Most likely, she’d find a few more young and vigorous fools, painting him in a bad light.

Just picturing her lying beneath another man made Kyle Keaton feel he’d resurrect from anger and twist their necks, ending it once and for all.

"Lord Keaton, what should we do now?"

Just locking eyes with Kyle Keaton’s cold gaze made Thomas Grant’s scalp tingle.

Really, he hadn’t expected the lady would fake her death.

It didn’t matter; it was good that she wasn’t dead.

But the crucial point was her fake death had awoken the sleeping lion.

Seeing Lord Keaton’s current aura, there might be casualties wherever he went.

"Since she’s not dead, even if we have to dig three feet deep, we must find her."

As for what to do once they find her, Kyle Keaton didn’t say.

But from his murderous demeanor, Thomas Grant guessed that once they found the lady, she would at least lose a layer of skin if not her life.

And so, Kyle Keaton and his team set off for Aethelgard.

A month later, at a top private club in Desrozin City—

A mysterious veiled girl was chatting animatedly with a refined, handsome man.

"I feel much better now, so you don’t have to keep coming here. Your status is different now."

Someone now directly ascended to President, reportedly even topping the list of the country’s eligible billionaires!

"Different status or not, I’m still me. I also have the right to pursue who I love..."

Roman Kidd took a sip of the tea prepared by the veiled girl, his fiery gaze resting unabashedly on July Quinn.
