Married by Accident, Taming the Billionaire novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 A scheming woman also wants to make waves? I'll let you know how to be a real woman in minutes

Verda drove to the Peace Mountain Funeral Parlor.

Wearing sunglasses and black high-heeled shoes, Cecelia got out from the back seats of the car. She unfolded the windbreaker hem behind her with a shake, cold and dashing.

The two of them walked into the funeral parlor and came to the director, asking about the cremation archives from five years ago, but the person was unwilling to cooperate.

"Sorry, the archives of our funeral parlor are all confidential, and not open to the public. You can go home!"

The director asked them to leave. Cecelia didn't speak anything, but Verda took a work ID card calmly out of his pocket and shook it.

"Take a close look! This is my work ID card. We're investigating a murder case from five years ago. The murderer might be lurking inside the funeral parlor. We want to read the archives from that year. If you don't cooperate, we will prosecute you for obstructing official business!"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you were investigating a case, sir! Please follow me!"

Thinking they were officers in plain clothes on a case, the director immediately agreed to take them to the archives room.

The director opened the room door and said politely, "Sir, all the documents and records are here, placed on the shelves by year. Take your time. I'm busy. I've got to go."

After the director left, Cecelia and Verda walked in to look for the records from five years ago.

But when they got the records, they didn't find the cremation records of her mother.

What was going on?

And they also double-checked the records a few times. Her mother passed away on August 6 five years ago. The cremation records from that day were all there, but her mother's were missing!

"Why are my mother's records missing?" Cecelia asked in confusion.

"Did you remember correctly, Miss Linsey? Is it possible that she was cremated in another funeral parlor?" Verda asked.

"I've asked them about this. They all said she was cremated here, but why can't we find anything?"

Cecelia was thinking hard. What was really going on?

There were no cremation records of her mother, so how could anyone prove she was burned here?

Verda continued to leaf through the other files. Remembering Ida's death, Cecelia suddenly screamed, "Verda, is it that someone had taken away my mother's cremation records before we came? Just like they killed Ida before we went to her. Could it be so?"

Verda didn't know the specific reason, but he thought Cecelia's analysis was reasonable. "It could be! Why do they stop us from getting the information about your mother? Are they trying to cover something up?"

"I don't know! I don't know!"

Cecelia had more confusions.

Things were getting stranger. First, the ashes were substituted, then Ida was murdered, and now the records were missing. Why did so many things happen?

"What should we do next, Miss Linsey?" Verda asked.

Cecelia thought for a moment, exhaled deeply, and said, "Someone must have found the records before we came for them, hoping to stop us from finding the truth. Even if we don't have my mother's archives, we can find the undertaker and cremator from five years ago. I think they might know."

"Okay, I'll look into it!"

Verda opened the record books again. He found the undertakers and cremators for the other deceased and said, "I've read the information from about August of five years ago. The dead all had the same male undertaker, whose name is Paul Galler."

"They had the same undertaker? What about the cremators?" Cecelia pressed.

Verda leafed through the books for a little more while. "I've found that. There were two cremators. I think they must have been working on shifts."

"Copy all their names."

"Okay."

Following Cecelia's instruction, Verda copied all the names they had found. Then they left the archives room and came to the director they had met earlier.

"Please check if these people are still working here."
