Lorelei rushed into the room just then. Just as she placed her hand on Jan’s arm, he slapped her hand away.
“Go away!”
Lorelei was so taken aback by lan’s sudden outburst that she dropped to the floor. She blinked a few times, tears streaming from her eyes.
However, her pitiful act did not evoke any sympathy from Ian.
Ian’s eyes were red as he looked at the maids, who were standing at the side and shaking in fear. He barked, “The body! Where did you move the body inside the cellar to?”
Most of the maids shrank back a little. One of them plucked up the courage and said, “Mr. Ian, Mr. Harry said that thing was filthy, and he wanted us to burn it! We just finished burning it…”
Ian’s vision turned white when he heard those words. His legs threatened to go out.
At that very moment, my phone, which was still clutched tightly in Ian’s hand, rang. I took a glance at the screen.
It was a call from Will.
As soon as Ian pressed the answer button, we could hear Will sobbing down the line.
