The masked man paused, “My fiancée, must you be so clever? Would you like to make another guess as to why I might have orchestrated our chance meeting?”

“It’s simple. You needed to show respect to Layla and arrange for her to be placed within Lorimer Group in front of all the Lorimer family members,” Raylee replied.

The masked man was taken aback. “Wow! You managed to see right through my intentions even though I was being subtle!”

“So, you were really helping her out? It seems you and Layla are pretty close. You were intentionally aiding her in getting rid of Mrs. Lorimer, weren’t you?”

The masked man shook his head helplessly. “Indeed. You’re quite sharp; I bet you were the only one on the scene who understood my actions. Truth be told, when I was helping Layla, I was also helping myself.”

“How so?” Raylee was quite puzzled.

The masked man gently tousled Raylee’s hair. “You’re so smart; how could you not figure it out? Don’t be afraid to make a bold guess. Who knows, your guess might just be the truth.”

A hint of melancholy appeared in Raylee’s eyes. “That’s probably not going to happen, because I guessed that you’re Jeremiah… But that’s utterly impossible because he’s already dead.”

“So what if he’s dead? He was just an illegitimate child who lived a humble life for thirty years. Death, perhaps, could have been a form of rebirth for him!”

“Rebirth?”

After pondering over the issue, Raylee came to a conclusion.

Perhaps the masked man was right after all.

For some people, living was no different from being dead, and death would, in fact, be a form of liberation for them.

Even though she hadn’t spent much time with Jeremiah, this man, who was both righteous and wicked, had given her a new lease on life.

She wished for him to find greater happiness in another life.

Upon arriving at Vera’s tombstone, Raylee realized that it had already been relocated.

According to the staff, the Goodridge family began their work just a while back. They claimed that the location of the tombstone was unfavorable, supposedly affecting the geomancy of the Goodridge family and its fortune.

As for where they were moving to, even the staff had no idea.

Naturally, Raylee was livid.

The area where Vera was laid to rest was the Goodridge family’s burial plot. It had been meticulously chosen, and a renowned geomancy master had been consulted to ensure the location was of the highest quality and possessed excellent geomancy,

So, how come when it comes to Grandma, it suddenly affects the geomancy and fortune?

She called Alaric, her voice nearly a growl as she asked, “Why did you move Grandma’s grave? Where did you relocate it to?”

“That’s my mother, I’ll move her wherever I want. What right or standing do you have to ask me this question? After all, you no longer have any connection to the Goodridge family,” Alaric said dismissively.

“That’s my grandma!” Raylee exclaimed in anger.

have been getting along quite well lately. My dear daughter, you mustn’t be so self–centered. Sharing resources is what makes you a good granddaughter in your grandma’s eyes.”

So, he had been waiting for me all along!

Infuriated, Raylee abruptly ended the call.

He had previously used the safe as leverage against me, and now, he had the audacity to use my deceased grandma as leverage against me! Alaric truly is inhuman!
