At midnight.

Harvey and the rest of the Zimmers arrived at the funeral parlor.

The police left as soon as they got there.

Harvey stopped one of the leaving cars to ask about the situation.

According to the autopsy, Aung fell into a ditch and drowned after getting drunk. For an expert like him, dying in such a way was plain embarrassing.

But for the police, the case was over since the mystery was solved.

Harvey gave his thanks before heading into the parlor with the others.

The usually quiet place was filled with noise. Those who didn’t know would assume that the entire place was a night market.

Harvey and the others arrived at the morgue, and discovered that there were a lot of people inside. Aside from the higher-ups, Reuben and Elodie were there as well.

Reuben was holding a string of beads, his expression horrible. No matter what, Aung had been with him for the longest time a

“We’re here, Elder Reuben. Is there something you wanted to talk to us about?”

Simon respectfully stepped forward, afraid to get involved in the situation.

Lilian followed suit, her entire body shivering in fear.

“We didn’t kill anyone, Elder Reuben… We respect Master Aung, after all…”

Slap, slap, slap!

Reuben slapped the two a dozen times, causing them to stumble back. Their faces were completely swollen.

“Elodie would’ve risen to power by now!

“I wouldn’t get Aung to break Mandy’s legs if that was the case!

“He wouldn’t go to your home, nor would he be crippled and killed on the streets!

“In any case, you people are still involved, even if you didn’t kill him!

“I treat him like my own son! Now that he’s dead, I want every single one of you to join him as well!”

Reuben was getting

Mandy glared at Xynthia. “Kids have no say here! Enough nonsense!”

“You choose—do you want to sleep on the floor in my room, or do you want to sleep in Xynthia’s room instead?” she asked, looking at Harvey.

Harvey sighed.

“I’m used to sleeping on the floor anyway. I’ll come with you then.”

Harvey followed Mandy into her room, while Xynthia glared gloomily after them.

The bedroom was on a separate floor. With the dim light, the room seemed quite romantic.

Mandy stumbled while she was changing into her slippers. Harvey quickly held her up. As soon as he did, he could feel her warmth. 

Mandy froze, and her breathing grew rapid.

Harvey felt his breath starting to heat up as well. He wasn’t sure if it was getting too romantic, or he was just shy.

Mandy’s beautiful face had become slightly redder as well.

Harvey lifted her up, and took a deep breath before taking a few steps back.
