Chapter 1394
Rose yelled back at the guy in the same language, her voice all shaky with emotion.
There was a pause on the other end, then a reply: "Yeah, someone did dig up the wrong grave. After realizing the mistake, they filled it back in."
The cemetery folks didn't mention that the person responsible had slipped him a thousand bucks as an apology.
Rose felt a buzzing in her ears. She hung up the phone and looked at Fiona in disbelief. "Don't you get it? What you did will disturb my mom's peace!" she exclaimed.
"Peace?" Fiona's face turned cold. "If souls exist, Odette would be dragged to hell by demons the moment she died, suffering endless torture."
"No way!" Rose shouted, her voice shaking with anger.
She finally dropped her meek facade, revealing her true self.
Without a word, Fiona threw a stack of photocopied pages at Rose.
The A4 papers fluttered around Rose, some sharp edges cutting her cheek.
Instinctively, she caught one.
By sheer coincidence, it was the record of Odette killing a private detective after she got pregnant.
Rose's hands trembled violently as she held the paper.
"How many people did she kill? You think she wouldn't suffer endless torture?" Fiona sneered.
Rose asked, "Where did you get this? Where did this come from?"
She recognized her mother's handwriting on the photocopied pages.
Fiona was surprised. Had Rose never seen this diary?
"Found it in your mom's grave. Oh, and there was a piece of your dad's finger bone in there, too." Fiona tossed something at Rose.
Rose instinctively caught it.
She glanced at it, then screamed in horror and threw it aside.
"Never seen that before?" Fiona raised an eyebrow.
Rose's face was as white as a sheet.
Fiona quickly put two and two together.
She said, "You have seen it, haven't you? And it left quite an impression, didn't it?"
Rose trembled, clutching her chest, looking like she was about to vomit.
"Stop lying! That was a medicinal supplement, not a finger bone!" Rose's breathing was heavy.
Fiona listened and immediately realized something.
Medicinal supplements were meant to be consumed.
Had Odette cooked with that bone and fed it to Rose?
Fiona's guess was spot on.
Rose had seen that bone in the cooking pot and in the water she drank.
She said, "Fiona, I genuinely wanted to work by your side. I never thought you'd be so despicable, pretending to be nice to me while having my mom's grave dug up. You're just like Brooke; both of you are demons!"
"Look at these," Fiona scoffed, pointing to the scattered pages. "Odette's diary. A demon? If I'm a demon, what does that make her?"
Rose instinctively looked at the scattered photocopies.
They had been buried with her mother, along with a tin box that her mother had cherished.
Odette had clutched it tightly to her chest when she died.
Rose's feelings for Odette were a mix of love, fear, and obedience.
Odette had never said Rose could open the box, so Rose hadn't. Rose placed it in Odette's coffin, burying it with Odette in the cemetery.
