As Ron was smashing the closet, everyone looked at its insides with bated breath. The space behind
the cabinet was tiny, and there was barely any space for maneuvering after Ron crawled in.
It was then Leanna asked him, “Did you find anything?”
Shaking his head, he found this situation completely off. Jethro couldn’t have put so much effort into
making a human-sized enclosure yet not put anything in it.
As Louis entered and scanned the enclosed space, he reached out to touch the wall. “This wall is
unlike the others in the room. It’s so rough, and you can see that the cement was not covered on some
parts of the wall.”
Leanna parted her lips and understood her brother’s words, but she could not wrap her head around
the situation. What is this thing for Jethro to build a wall behind his closet?
At this point, Zoe peeked inside and asked, “It’s quite troublesome to tear down a wall. How about we
call the experts to do it?”
Ron looked at the pock-marked wall and use his rod to knock on it. Immediately, some chunks fell off.
“Since the cement did not cover the entire wall, it’s not hard to tear it down,” he commented.
With one look, they could tell that Jethro had very limited strength and energy when building this wall,
hence the shoddy workmanship.
Finding the biggest crack in the wall, Ron struck at it with all his might, instantly collapsing the wall. It
was then a rectangular wooden box revealed itself in the corner of the wall.
At that, Zoe could not help but express, “He did hide something in here! Could it be some priceless
treasure?”
The moment Leanna saw the box, she clamped up on the spot with a bad premonition and instinctively
grabbed onto Louis’ arm. Meanwhile, Ron kneeled on the rubble before taking out a dagger to pry open
the box.
The instant it was opened, everyone on the scene froze.
A chilly wind ran down Zoe’s spine and she was so shocked that she almost bit her tongue while
talking. Subconsciously, she stumbled backward only to hit an object. Turning around, she saw that
Daniel was staring ahead with a gaze darker than Leanna’s and Louis’.
After an unknown time had passed, Leanna slowly closed her eyes and uttered with a shaky voice,
“Let’s call the police.”
In the past, she had always thought that Jethro was an avid gambler and a bit of an *sshole, yet she
never thought that he was capable of doing this.
With tightly pursed lips, Louis looked like he was suppressing something within him.
Just as Zoe fished out her phone wanting to call the police, Daniel grabbed her hand. “Wait.”
She was confused. “For… what?”
He gazed at Leanna and asked, “Miss McKinney, a word?”
Snapping back to reality, she turned toward Ron. “You should go first. I’ll tell the police that we found
this place by accident.”
Ron nodded, for he was just as shocked as everyone. After all, who b*stard like Jethro would hide a
body in his secret enclosure?
After he left, Leanna and Daniel walked to the living room. “What do you want to talk about?” she
asked.
He replied, “Although I know that my words might
She cut him off with a soft tone. “I know.”
“If we call the cops now, once news of this gets out, it’ll cause a huge buzz. It might even give Leroy,
who is hiding God knows where, a chance.”
His words made her frown.” What do you suggest, then?”
“We should handle this matter quietly. I can arrange it for you.”
Leanna shook her head. “I appreciate your kindness, but this is my mother. I see no reason to leave
this matter in your hands.”
Pursing his lips, Daniel said, “Miss McKinney, you should know by now that I will not harm you.”
Yet, she looked at him with an unwavering gaze. “Yes, I know that you won’t harm me. Although I am
curious as to why you had such a huge reaction upon seeing my mother’s remains, so much so to the
point where you were even more shaken than Louis and I was. Who are you, exactly? Or should I say,
what do you want?”
“I…” Her question caught Daniel off guard.
After a while, he closed his eyes and said, “Miss McKinney, what I can tell you is that Jethro is in our
hands. We’ve been trying to locate where your mother’s tomb was from him all this time. He has led us
one too many times on a wild goose chase. All we want is for your mother to rest in peace.”
Leanna argued, “If so, then you only need to give me one reason why I should hand her remains over
to you.”
Still, Daniel could not answer her.
She continued, “Now that Louis and I are here, regardless if we called the police or not, from my point
of view, I can’t possibly let some stranger handle this. You say that you have Jethro and that your
people have been searching for my mother’s tomb. I believe that, but don’t you think it is time for you to
convince me rather than make me blindly believe in your words every time?” With a pause, she added,
“You and whoever is behind you—who are you guys? And what relationship do you share with my
mother?”
It was then that Zoe and Louis walked out of the room, looking as if they were waiting for Daniel’s
answer too.
A few minutes had passed, and he let out a chuckle. “This matter is not for me to decide.” After a short
silence, he finally caved in. “Please wait while I make a call.” He then went downstairs.
When the door closed, Leanna proceeded to sit on the couch and shut her eyes. Yet, her brain
replayed the scene from the back of the closet.
Zoe sat down beside her and patted her back gently. “Nana, don’t think about it. We can always just
call the cops. That’s the best option for me, at least.”
Looking lifelessly forward, Leanna finally spoke after a long silence, “I never thought that Jethro would
do this.”
Zoe added, “Me too. That’s insane. He’s truly nuts, hiding a body in the wall that’s behind his closet, no
less. This person has lost his marbles.”
Standing there with a sullen expression, Louis suddenly announced, “I’m heading out too.”
When he left, Zoe felt more afraid as she closed the distance between her and Leanna.
Who could have thought that the body was not buried at a graveyard after twenty years? Instead, it was
placed in that very house in its entirety.
It was then they found out how truly terrifying Jethro was. He could live with a body for twenty years.
Now that they thought about it, if he could commit such a heinous act, then sending her daughter to
Patheon Club was nothing to him.
As one would say, never judge a book by its cover.
This had indeed been a rollercoaster ride, an utterly frightful one.
