Chapter 390
The landlord’s reply pissed off Grayson to no end. He was about to ask the landlord about the room
when the man hung up. “What’s going on? Did something happen to the um?” asked Catherine
anxiously.
“The landlord said someone went there last night and took it away!” replied Grayson.
“What do you mean? What about our money? If not for that damned urn, that girl would never give us
fifty million!” Catherine began panicking. All of a sudden, a possibility popped up in her mind. “Hight,
she must’ve hired someone to take it away…”
With a frown. Grayson dialed Serenity’s number.

“Listen, I’ve thought about it, and since you’re still my daughter, if you can’t fork out the fifty million you
promised yesterday, 1’ll accept half that amount first, and I’ll tell you where your mother’s buried. Didn’t
you say that you were getting along well with Jackson? He shouldn’t have a problem coming up with
that amount, right?
Although the are was gone, Grayson thought he could still deceive his daughter. If Serenity wasn’t the
one who took the um away, then he could still purchase a new um and fill it up with fake ashes. It
wasn’t much compared to the twenty–five million that he could still get
What he didn’t see was the pained expression on Serenity’s face on the other end of the line. She
couldn’t believe her father was still trying to scam her using her mother’s ashes. Even after her death,
he still wanted to squeeze as much use out of his wife as possible.
“There’s no need for that. I acquired Mother’s ashes last night, and I’ve given her a proper burial,”
replied Serenity. Grayson was fuming from the ears when he heard that “I knew it was you! How dare
you barge into a room I was renting! How dare you remove your mother’s ashes and hery her without
my permission! Don’t forget. I’m her late husband!”
“oh, so now you remember that you’re her husband? If she were alive, I doubt you’d say the same,”
snorted Serenity coldly. “Is. Is this how you talk to your father? You better tell me where she’s buried, or
I’m gonna tile a lawsuit against you! Even Jackson won’t be able to protect you! Don’t think he treats
you seriously just because you two are together. Unlike Arm, who’s officially accepted as Lucas”
girlfriend, you’re nothing but a plaything for Jackson,”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“oh? I’d like to see you try. Let’s see if I’m capable of protecting her.”
Grayson was interrupted halfway through his sentence by a man’s voice. His tone sounded cold and
hostile, which almost made Grayson choke on his own spit. At that moment, he fruze up and almost
dropped his phone.
Is that… Jackson’s voin?!
Was he standing next to Serenity all this time? Did he hear their conversation earlier?
“About that
The call ended before Grayson was given the chance to explain himself.
“What happened?” asked Catherine in a panic–stricken voice. The call wasn’t put on speakerphone, so
she didn’t war Jackson’s voice.
“What else?That girl managed to convince Jarkson to protect her!” yelled Grayson angrily. He was
primarily ticked off by the fact that be was missing out on the benefits of his daughter dating such a rich
and powerful man.
