Chapter 625
Glancing at Lily, Jonathan cleared his throat and said, “We must thoroughly investigate your
grandfather’s death. However, you two insist on your own words, and it is difficult to tell the difference
for now, but don’t worry. Since I’ve taken over the family, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”
Sure enough, Lily wanted to get out of the way, sneering, “Granduncle, everyone understands the truth,
but there should always be a conclusion. We mustn’t delay Grandpa’s burial. At least. there should be
a time limit, right?”
“Why are you so anxious? Are you guilty?” Jonathan said unhappily after giving her a side. glance.
“There’s no point in arguing anymore, and it doesn’t matter whether or not I’m guilty. What matters is
the result. I only hope to find out the cause of grandpa’s death.” Lily did not want to take a step back
and continued, “The elders are here today. Since Granduncle Jonathan is in charge of the family now, I
believe I can convince everyone with actions instead of empty promises. How about three days?”
“Only three?”
“I’m sure everyone will want to know the final result within three days.”
“All right! Three days!” Henry interrupted because Jonathan could speak, “Still, Lily, you can only stay
here for these three days and nowhere else to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to escape.
All Lodge family members cannot leave Sapphine within the next three days.”
“Justin, what do you think?” After speaking, he looked at Justin slightly provocatively.
Justin nodded expressionlessly, “I have no opinions on this.”
They had settled the matter for the time being. Lily took a deep look at her grandfather’s posthumous
photo. No matter what happened, she would seek justice for her grandfather.
The older adults dispersed. Lily quickly stood in Justin’s way, “Justin, you…”
“Didn’t I tell you not to come back?” After interrupting her words, Justin sighed softly, ” Forget it. You
can stay for a while. You must be tired coming all the way here. Take a good rest.

Hearing his words meant a lot. She looked sideways and noticed everyone in the family was busy.
Even so, they perked up their ears.
“Okay, let me know if you need me,” she went out after saying that.
Alexander sat in the living room drinking tea, looking calm and composed, without any anxiety.
While walking out, it seemed as if Lily knew Alexander was sitting there. She raised her eyes and
looked over. The two of them looked at each other. At that moment, Lily felt more relaxed, as if her
burdens had lightened.
She walked quickly in his direction, “Did they give you a hard time?”
“I’m your husband, which means I’m also part of the family. How would they give me a hard.
time?” Alexander raised his lips and smiled. “Have you paid your respects to your grandfather?
“Yeah,” Lily nodded and continued, “Let’s stay here for the next two days.”
“Okay,” Alexander replied without asking any further.
The property was substantial; even if all the elders lived in the front and rear buildings, there would be
enough space for more guests.
Of course, most elders lived in this city, and everyone agreed they could not exit Sapphine. However,
they never mentioned not being allowed to go home, so most who lived in the city returned to their
respective homes.
Henry stayed in the main building and seemed to calm down after everyone dispersed, but most
understood that the dark waves behind the calmness were turbulent.
The disciples of the Lodge family did not practice kickboxing today as they were mourning instead, they
stood near a window and looked outside.
The empty courtyard looked extraordinarily deserted. Thinking about how orderly things were in the
past, Lily suddenly missed those days when they were training through blood and sweat
“Although the weather is getting warmer, it’s still cold during the morning and evening,” Alexander put a
coat on Lily from behind and took her into his arms.
Lily leaned her head back into her husband’s arms and looked at the scenery outside, “I jus feel that
some people’s hearts are colder than winter.”
