Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 648 The Tomb is Empty
After resolving the matter, she immediately went to find Daniel.
'Do you still remember what you said that day?" Kaliyah asked in a deep voice.
Daniel nodded. "Of course, it seems you’re not entirely useless after all."
'So, what’s your plan?" Kaliyah couldn't wait any longer. In order to resolve the issue online, she had been forced to get in touch
with Orion.
If Daniel doesn't take action now, her suffering from nausea these past two days will have been for nothing.
Daniel was clearly caught off guard. He didn't like being manipulated, but he also knew that there wasn't enough time left.
His plan had been put on hold for quite some time due to New Year celebrations.
’There's something I need you to get, and then find Ainsley. Use it to exchange for another item,’ Daniel said in a deep voice.
Kaliyah's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What?"
Daniel curved his lips slightly and asked casually, ’Tell me, what does Ainsley value the most right now?"
The most important thing...
Kaliyah repeated the sentence to herself, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly as she struggled to come up with an answer for
quite some time.
She pursed her lips, her face turning pale, "I can't figure it out. I thought it might be Matteo and Manuel, but then again, it doesn't
seem like them."
Daniel chuckled softly, his thin lips slightly parted. "I’ve been away from Seattle for just a few days, and I still know what's going
on. You can't tell me you don't know anything, can you?"
"For example, what?"
’She's currently investigating her father's affairs. Although she’s being discreet, I still managed to get some information." Daniel
didn’t continue speaking.

Kaliyah was full of doubts, "But her father is already dead, so even if it's important, it won't make a difference now."
Daniel glanced at her gloomily. "The person is gone, but the grave and ashes remain.”
Kaliyah was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
' As long as you understand, I won't keep you any longer. Just remember what I want, and consider it your entry token," Daniel
said casually.
Kaliyah stepped out of the mansion with a heavy heart, Daniel's words still echoing in her ears. Remember, it's best to make the
exchange within these two days.
The distant horizon radiated a brilliant mix of red and purple, casting an air of mystery and intrigue over the entire sky.
It's 11 o'clock at night.
At this time, there were hardly any people in the cemetery.
Kaliyah and Daniel borrowed a few strong and sturdy bodyguards, just in case.
She led them to a tombstone with precision. The woman in the photo smiled gently, exuding an elegant charm all over her.
' Ms. Packer, is that correct?" the square-faced bodyguard asked emotionlessly.
Kaliyah nodded in a good mood, smiling. "Alright, let's get started."
As she finished speaking, she took two steps back.
The bodyguards took out their prepared tools and squatted down to dig the soil. For them, who had been exercising regularly for
years, this was just a small task.
Kaliyah wrapped her clothes tightly around herself. She hadn’t planned on doing this so soon, but she learned from Daniel that
Ainsley and Manuel would be leaving for Seattle in two days. She had to get it done before they left.
Not long after, the shovel hit a hard object, making a crisp ’clang" sound.
They stopped their actions in unison, retrieving the ash box buried deep underground and casually holding it in their hands.

The object was covered in dirt, and Kaliyah frowned in disgust. She only took a quick glance before looking away. ' Alright, leave
someone behind to clean up and restore it to its original state. Let's head back to the car first.”
Even though there are few people around during this time, one should not let their guard down.
Their teaming up was quite peculiar, and attracting the attention of others would be unfavorable, as it could affect her plans.
A hint of madness flickered across Kaliyah's face as she thought to herself. Ainsley, just wait and see what's coming for you.
With your father's urn in my possession, let's see how you can still act so smug!
She couldn't wait to see the furious expression on that woman's face; it must be quite amusing.
The next day, Ainsley walked into the cemetery, and the closer it got to her departure for Seattle, the more agitated she became.
Inside the cemetery, her mother's grave was placed next to her father’s. But now, she was going to Seattle to see Grace.
It's hard to describe the feeling, especially since that woman could possibly be my father's...
She placed a bouquet of flowers down and said, ’Dad, I will find out, no matter how difficult it is, I will find out."
The terrifying overcast sky was accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder, causing Ainsley to jump in fright.
Originally, Matteo wanted to accompany her, but Ainsley refused. After all, she couldn’t always avoid facing everything on her
own, right?
A single raindrop fell into Ainsley's palm. She clenched her fist, took a picture frame out of her bag, and placed it in front of her
father's grave.
"Dad, I remember this is the photo you used to stare at often. I brought it for you, and I hope you haven't blamed me for these
past three years," Ainsley said in a low voice.
She wiped the dust off her parents' tombstone once more before finally deciding to leave.
However, as she was about to leave, she suddenly noticed something amiss. The soil on her father's grave seemed off.
She crouched down and touched it, only to discover a strange footprint on the other side.
Whose is this?

Looking at the depth of the footprints, they seemed quite fresh, as if they were made just yesterday.
The rain grew heavier, washing away the footprint completely. This only made her feel even more puzzled. She crouched down,
patted the muddy ground, and then looked at the traces on the tomb.
An umbrella was held above Ainsley’s head, casting a shadow over her body. She turned to look, and to her surprise, it was
Manuel.
"How did you get here?"
Manuel draped the coat over Ainsley's shoulders. "I asked Matteo, and he said you were here."
’What's wrong?" He noticed something was off with Ainsley.
Before she had a chance to ask Manuel what he wanted from her, she now had a bold guess.
' May I borrow a few people?" Ainsley asked earnestly.
Manuel's eyes appeared especially deep and captivating under this kind of weather. Although he didn't know why Ainsley
needed someone, Manuel agreed without hesitation.
Dark clouds spread across the sky, covering the light and casting a gloomy shadow over the world.
The rain was getting heavier, and Ainsley and Manuel stood in front of the grave, their eyes filled with tension.
Eight or nine men, dressed in raincoats and carrying shovels and other tools, slowly opened the grave. As they lifted the coffin
lid, everyone was shocked.
Ainsley took a deep breath. Empty! How could it be empty!
"Why?" She widened her eyes, almost unable to stand.
Manuel supported him from the side, just barely helping him maintain his balance.
’Don't worry just yet,” Manuel said, looking at Ainsley with concern.
But the latter was almost on the verge of collapse. "How can I not be worried!"

Manuel said, "On the day Mr. Easton was buried, I was actually watching from here, so I’m quite certain that the urn was placed
inside at that time."
’Yesterday," Ainsley murmured, her fingers trembling uncontrollably.
’What?" Manuel asked, full of confusion.
’Someone must have been here yesterday! I saw footprints, and the soil over here has been deliberately made to look old,"
Ainsley said, emphasizing each word.
They quickly found the cemetery manager, and while checking the surveillance footage, they discovered that the only person
who had been there was... Kaliyah
