True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 531

Zachary smiled at her. "You've arranged it well. I don't need to take any more actions."

"What are you trying to say then?" Alice asked in surprise.

"I wanted to say that there was no need for the police to come," After saying that, Zachary smiled and looked at the person-in-charge and said, "Simon Brown stole these ashes. Your storekeepers did not perform any background check on whether a direct family member was entrusted with these ashes. Your team had failed your duties for not verifying the source of these ashes in the first place."

The person-in-charge was taken aback and glanced at Zachary with guilt in his eyes.

All of a sudden, Zachary raised his voice and continued, "Even though we haven't blamed you for it, you are making things difficult for us to get our family members' ashes back. Let us bring this case to court. By that time, both you and Simon will need to compensate us."

"H-how could this be," The person-in-charge said. "We are innocent."

"It is your negligence of duty for not carrying out your job thoroughly," Zachary's voice was still loud and powerful, easily intimidating others.

At this moment, Grace added in, "You guys were the ones who did not carry out your duties properly in the first place. Zachary, I think this matter should be

taken to court. This way, we can also get our compensation fees."

Alice watched as both Zachary and Grace continued, and the person-in-charge slowly turned pale.

Alice also added fuel to the fire. "Now, Simon is dead. We may not be able to sue Simon, so we can only sue your management. They're also public units, so they would need to compensate for their negligence of duty. We could win the case easily."

"You guys don't have to speak any further," said the person in charge. "I'll give Simon a call. We have his phone number here."

He went to search for the number as he spoke and gave Simon a call.

He called several times, but no one answered.

The person-in-charge was surprised.

Alice saw that he failed to get through Simon and immediately said, "We told you, Simon is dead. He wouldn't be able to take your calls."

The person-in-charge hesitated and said, "How can you prove that you are Marilyn's relatives?"

Grace took out the household register, handed it over, and said, "This is the household register."

Alice stared at Grace in shock. She even brought along the household register.

When the person-in-charge saw that the household register had not been canceled yet, he frowned and fell into deep thoughts. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Zachary and then looked at Grace.

"Did you guys bring your documents here?"

Grace immediately nodded and said, "I have it with me here." "I also have my ID card," Alice also carried her ID card with her.

The person-in-charge thought for a moment and said, "According to our regulations, we can't give you the ashes. Even if you want to take the ashes, you have to sign and make your cross on the agreement. I would like to avoid having Simon Brown sue us in the future."

"Don't worry," Alice said. "He’s dead."

Grace nudged Alice and said in a low voice, "Don't say such things. He is still alive. It would be embarrassing when others know that he is alive."

"Grace," Alice replied in a low voice as well. "In my heart, Simon is already dead. Not only Simon but so is Marry. So, whether they are really dead or alive, it would be the same anyway. They're dead to me."

Even though this was the case, she didn't have to put it so bluntly. This girl would be at a disadvantage in the future if she went on with her temperament.

Zachary, who had been silent all this time, spoke again, "Simon is indeed dead, for real."

Grace was speechless.

She looked at her cousin. His posture was domineering as he looked at the person-in-charge and urged, "The documents are all here. Should there be anything in the future, you can speak to me. I do have to settle some things with Simon too."

The person-in-charge immediately registered their identification information and returned the ashes to

them.
