The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1897

Erica heaved a helpless sigh.

Over there, Frederic's son and daughter-in-law had received the compensation and were preparing to go to the funeral home to claim Frederic's body.

"Kate, we deeply appreciate all the care you've given my dad over the years. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask," Frederic's son said, his face all buttered up.

His business investments had tanked over the years, and he'd lost quite a bit of cash.

If he could have a job at the Scott family, their life would be a bit more bearable.

Just looking at this man made Kate's skin crawl.

But...

"Sure," Kate nodded. "You two are still young and might not understand everything. I'll have one of my staff accompany you later. She'll help you with your father's funeral. She knows her stuff and can help you pick a good burial site."

"Burial site?" The wife's face paled.

The price tag for a burial site these days could punch a big hole in your wallet.

"Ah, Kate, we were actually thinking of taking my father's remains to the countryside, to be buried with my mother," the man stuttered.

Kate's gaze turned icy.

"Buried together? You mean scattering his ashes in the river?" Kate's patience was wearing thin. "Your hometown was flooded 20 years ago when they built the hydroelectric dam. Can you even find your mother's grave now?"

Kate's stern tone made the couple shiver.

They didn't dare admit that was precisely what they had in mind.

When someone dies, it's like turning off a light. Isn't it just a waste of money to go through all the fuss?

But they didn't dare voice such thoughts in front of Kate.

After all, they hadn't received the compensation Kate had promised yet.
