Chapter 582

Unfortunately, Melvin had not only refused to investigate Leah’s death but also had her body cremated. He wanted to seize control of the Severins as soon as possible.

With Jade back, Marcus felt more confident. Despite Melvin's objections, Marcus was determined to close the gates with his men.

"What are you doing? Is this mutiny? Have you forgotten who's in charge now? She's just a brat. What has she fed you to make you follow her lead?" Melvin fumed. He had finally found an opportunity to take control, but Jade had ruined it all.

Marcus looked calmly at Melvin and bowed slightly. "Apologies, Mr. Melvin. Ms. Jade wants to uncover the truth behind Madam's death as a show of filial piety. We owe our current lifestyle to Madam's care. It's time for us to do something for her."

After speaking, Marcus ignored Melvin and went to close the gates.

In an instant, Melvin was isolated. He glared at Jade but lacked the courage to argue with her, as most of the household obeyed her commands.
