More than ten days ago, Matriarch Jackson had been sent to the cemetery.
Her graveyard was located in a secluded place.
Matriarch Jackson liked to be quiet. Everyone from the Jacksons knew that.
Therefore, even though the Jacksons were rich, they did not bury her in the most glorious place.
Her graveyard was quiet. There was a big tree beside her.
When the sun rose, the shade of trees would cover the tombstone.
No matter where the sun went, the mottled shadows of trees could always shield her from the blazing sun, and they could leave her some brightness.
When Emily first saw this place, she felt that the people who chose this place really knew Matriarch Jackson very well.
Emily walked over.
Under the big tree, Matriarch Jackson’s name was embedded on the tombstone.
Emily thought that she could calmly face all of this, but when she saw Matriarch Jackson’s smiling face, she became so weak.
If Emily wasn’t that weak, perhaps Matriarch Jackson wouldn’t have rolled into the lake while Emily was watching it.
Emily knelt in front of Matriarch Jackson’s tombstone and stretched out her trembling hands. Her fingertips moved along the portrait bit by bit.
Emily touched Matriarch Jackson’s eyebrows, nose, mouth.
“You’re just getting better. You’re still very weak. You can’t be too excited.”
Henry squatted down behind her and supported her shoulder. “I’m sorry.”
Emily nodded. She did not want to be excited. That scene always lingered in her mind.
She probably would remember it for the rest of her life.
What could be worse than watching your loved ones die in front of you?
For Emily, Matriarch Jackson was her real grandmother!
Emily still didn’t know what Matriarch Jackson had wanted to tell Patriarch.
It seemed that there were many secrets hidden in Matriarch Jackson’s words, but before she could reveal them, she passed away.
No. It definitely wasn’t an accident!
Just as Manson’s mother had said, the wheelchair wouldn’t suddenly roll up for no reason.
How could a wheelchair move without someone pushing it or external force?
“The flowers and grass on the roadside are taller than the main road.”
Emily suddenly stood up and looked back at Henry. Her voice sounded a little dull.
“Could a wheelchair roll over the high grass and into the lake from lower place for no reason?”
Henry’s expression changed slightly. “What do you want to say?”
“I didn’t push the wheelchair. Absolutely not.”
“I believe you.” If Henry didn’t believe her, how could he keep taking care of her?
“But the wheelchair really moved. It rolled from the lower marble road to the higher grass and into the lake.”
She suddenly grabbed Henry’s sleeve and said anxiously, “That’s impossible!”
Henry didn’t say anything. He just watched her as she grabbed his sleeve and pursed his lips.
“I can’t solve this puzzle. Henry, help me. I really can’t figure it out!”
The strangest part was that there were only Emily and Matriarch Jackson!
Piper had walked away!
“Why method did they use to push Grandma down while I was staring at her?”
It was impossible!
Emily raised her hand and rubbed her temples. Her head was in pain.
“I... I don’t believe that it’s an accident. It definitely was man-made!”
Someone wanted to harm Matriarch Jackson, or Emily?
“I’m going to the Jackson family. I’m going to take a look at that road. If someone tampered with the wheelchair, there will definitely be a clue. Henry …”
“That road has been destroyed. That lake has been filled with a pile of rockery.”
“Why?” It had only been a few days. Why?
“I heard that Patriarch was afraid of missing her, so he asked someone to fill it.”
“How could this happen? How is this possible?” The only place where Emily could find clues was completely destroyed.
Henry let go of her and said softly, “Don’t worry about these things anymore. It’s all over now, okay?”
Emily didn’t know what to say. She wanted to refute his argument, but everyone seemed to be stopping her from investigating.
Perhaps if she investigated, there would be something bad happening. More people would be involved.
However, if she didn’t investigate, the cause of her grandmother’s death would be a secret.
“I...” Suddenly, she seemed to see something. She pushed Henry away and hurriedly chased a girl along a path.
Perhaps because that girl was frightened, so she turned around and ran away.
Emily couldn’t chase after her. She had been unconscious for so long, so she became tired quickly.
“Henry, Henry, help me! Chase her!”
Henry was a little helpless. He could only chase after the girl with his long legs. Just as the girl was about to escape from the cemetery, he grabbed her collar.
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!” Piper was so frightened that she trembled and screamed repeatedly.
Emily finally caught up and grabbed Piper’s wrist.
“Piper, I didn’t kill Grandma. You know that! I won’t kill you, Piper. Tell me the truth. What happened that day?”
