“Just burn them. But you should investigate where these clothes were purchased and who handled them,” Gabrielle said matter–of–factly.
Arthur froze, not expecting this response.
A chill ran down his spine as his lips trembled with unspoken questions.
“There’s something wrong with these clothes. He wore them once, and tragedy struck the next day. They’re saturated with negative energy, likely taken from a corpse.” Gabrielle explained bluntly.
“Some merchants resell burial garments. Since these were custom–made, someone probably altered funeral clothes specifically for this purpose.”
Arthur’s world was shattered.
His mind was a complete blank. His lips trembled in disbelief, but he couldn’t manage a word.
At that moment he seemed to have lost his voice. His body trembled uncontrollably. Tears welled in his eyes but didn’t fall. his voice strangled with grief.
He wanted to speak, but the words wouldn’t come. In that moment, it felt
“Grandpa, these clothes… Jonathan held his breath.
as if he had aged significantly.
A single tear traced Arthur’s weathered cheek. “I asked your mother to custom–make these. Your father always loved this style. It was from a century–old tailor, and the owner is a family friend. After your father passed away, we stopped all contact to avoid painful memories,” he murmured.
His voice broke completely.
To think his son had been dressed in a dead man’s shroud.
“I get to the bottom of this,” Jonathan vowed darkly.
He turned and walked away to call Keiran. Meanwhile, Cabrielle remained impassive.
Wealth attracted envy The Zechman family had always been the center of attention, and with their immense wealth, it was nevitable that they would attract envy.
Moreover, Jonathan’s mother was overly indulgent toward her younger son, often failing to see things clearly.
Having died once before, Gabrielle viewed such “family bonds” with cold detachment
Someone else in her shoes might shield Arthur from this truth, but Gabrielle believed that learning the truth was his best protection
If something were to Happen, he would at least be somewhat prepared. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know how he’d met hist
End
As the saying goes, “There is no knowing what is in a man’s heart.”
“You’ve saved our family, Gabrielle. Without you, I would be joining my son soon, Arthur choked out, gripping Gabrielle’s hands with desperate strength
Clearly, he was a bit overly emotional
She let him cling until he regained composure, just as Jonathan returned from his call.
“Put these back in the pond. I’ll seal thern with a sigil. You have surveillance cameras here, right? Monitor the area and see if anyone tries retrieving them,” Gabrielle instructed softly

“Grandpa perhaps you should move into the Zechman residence with us.” Jonathan suggested quietly.
He feh uneasy leaving Arthur vulnerable here.

Arthur shook his head, surveying the Zechman manor. “This is the Zechman roots. I’ll guard it myself. With Gabrielle’s sigil. I’ve nothing to fear. Besides, we don’t cower from threats. Retreating would disgrace our name.”
He scoded calch
Remarkably experienced and knowledgeable. Arthur quickly processed Gabrielle’s revelations.
“By the way you’re going to continue filming the variety show, right? What if the Seaver family retaliate? John should assign bodyguards
pressopy apused and added. “Ordinary bodyguards won’t do. Shadow guards would be better.”
As he spoke it seemed as thogh he thought of something. He quickly turned to Gabrielle and said. “Even though these celebees on the same show are quite good–looking, in reality, they don’t hold a candle to John. His temper aside, he’s decent principled and doesn’t sleep around like those celebrities. You’ll see once you know him better.”
He was practity shoving Jonathan at her now, clearly worried some pretty boy might steal her away.
Gabrielle fell silen
our casual compensation end up feeling like a matchmaking session!
“By the way that Begimate son of the Lefevre family, he may seem fine on the surface, but in reality, he’s nowhere near as good as our John. His possessive stare toward you? Unacceptable” Arthur continued.
A sense of urgency washed over him in an instant. He felt that someone else might take Gabrielle away from Jonathan
“Grandpa.” Jonathan quickly interrupted him as his words became increasingly absurd.
Arthur grew somewhat anxious
“Gabrielle,” he called out
She suppressed an eye twitch and quickly nodded. “You’re absolutely right. Grandpa. I’m too young to fall for handsome faces. I might get scammed”
Upon hearing her words, Arthur went to comfort her again
“No worries! I’ll set them for you. Add my WhatsApp Ask me anything anytime! He whipped out his phone eagerly.
Jonathan watched them exchange numbers. It had taken him ages to get her contact yet his grandfather scored it during their first meeting-
He was left with a bitter taste in his heart.
“Grandpa, its getting late. I’m afraid we might have to head back now,” Jonathan reminded after glancing at the time.
They were quite far from the Zechman residence. The drive would take over an hour, so they’d arrive near dusk.
Go on then. After you finish filming the variety show, Ill visit you” Arthur nodded. He didn’t ask them to stay
This place wasn’t safe. As it was getting dark, he thought it would be better for them to go home
“Grandpa, there’s no need to worry. The sigil is more powerful than you think Sleep easy tonight, Gabrielle assured
Hearing her mention the sigil. Arthur beamed like she’d gifted him the moon. “You’re truly remarkable!”
He was very pleased with her actions.
