Chapter 420: Chapter 420 – Seeing Through at a Glance

Translator: 549690339

A three-year-old grave should not have had a tombstone erected just recently.

Daniel Marshall’s sharp eyes fell on the tombstone, and in just a few seconds, he observed something unusual.

The tombstone appeared to be quite old, as though it had been specially processed.

However, the back of the tombstone appeared to be brand new.

It seemed as though it had been soaked in some kind of solution, leaving the tombstone with a soaked appearance.

Even if it had been pouring rain, the tombstone shouldn’t be in this condition, where it looked soaked through and through, clearly someone had tampered with it.

Daniel didn’t touch the tombstone to investigate; the damp soil in front of the tombstone was also just quickly glanced over. His handsome face was emotionless; it was impossible to guess his feelings.

From hearing only one side of the story, Adam Howard found it hard to believe that Joseph Charles was dead, especially given the fact that Joseph was not even 60 yet. In theory, if he did not die of illness or accident, he would not have reached the end of his life at this age. There was something strange about this.

Adam Howard turned to the person guiding them and inquisitively asked: “Is Joseph Charles’s nephew in the village? We would like to meet him.”

Without hesitation, the guide answered: “He’s out working. If you want to meet him, I can take you to the city where he currently resides.”

Adam Howard frowned lightly, continuing to question: “How did Joseph Charles die?”

“According to the villagers, Joseph Charles died from falling after becoming drunk. His nephew has been working away from home since his uncle’s death, taking his entire family with him. I heard he bought a house outside and never plans to return to the village. When QuiverJoy Festival came, the nephew only asked someone in the village to pay respects for him.”

Just as Adam Howard was about to probe further, Daniel gave him a look.

Immediately, Adam Howard wisely shut up.

Daniel let out a relieved sigh and said quietly, “Let’s go. Respect the dead and do not disturb their eternal repose nor disturb his nephew.”

The guide hesitated for a moment, then asked: “Er… about the reward — will there be any? Are you really not going to meet Joseph Charles’s nephew anymore? The city where he stays isn’t that far, just two or three hours’ drive away.”

Keeping his voice neutral but apparently a bit impatient, Daniel replied, “No, we’re leaving. There’s no point talking about a dead person. We won’t be coming back.”

Adam handed the guide an envelope, and, without hesitation, he followed Daniel away. fгeewebnovёl.com

The guide accepted the money and thanked them repeatedly with a smile.

Daniel didn’t look back. His handsome features remained impassive.

Once they were in the car, Adam asked in confusion, “Daniel, don’t you find this suspicious? Why did you decide to drop it?”

His handsome face turning cold and displeased, Daniel said, “I’m being watched. Someone is aware of my every move. I’m pretty sure this grave doesn’t belong to Joseph Charles, and he doesn’t have any so-called nephew. If we went to meet him, we’d probably only meet a hired actor.”

Adam’s eyes lit up, “It must be Bella or Sebastian Thompson’s doing. They’re scared that you’ll uncover the truth about the past. This also indicates that they are afraid. They must have framed Auntie back then.”

“Remove the ‘must be’, it’s definitely Bella and Sebastian’s doing. Joseph Charles isn’t dead, he’s hiding somewhere. Adam, you spread the word that I believe Joseph Charles is dead and that I won’t investigate further. Then, you secretly investigate for me. The fewer people know about this, the better. We don’t want this to reach troublesome ears.

If I’m not mistaken, Joseph Charles is not even in the country anymore. Moreover, the Thompson siblings are confident that Joseph Charles won’t show up anymore. Even if he does appear, they aren’t afraid of me finding him. They probably know that Joseph Charles is well-prepared.”
