“Mom?” Alice said in confusion.

“Why are you still afraid of a woman who’s been dead for 24 years already?” Caroline said.
“We’re going to sweep the tomb anyway, but no one has to know whether we kowtowed or not. We can just go through the motions to keep the peace. Right now, the most important thing is getting you back to the Sullivan Group as soon as possible.
Otherwise when Rachel has already hooked up with Victor, it might already be too late to put our plan into action.”
Alice listened carefully to Caroline. When she’d finished explaining her reasoning, Alice pursed her lips, hesitated, then nodded.
The following day, Jack, Caroline and Alice all set out to the cemetery in the suburbs where Elisa was buried.
Once the fancy BMW had eased to a stop in the parking lot, Alice opened her door and got out. She was followed closely by Caroline, with whom she linked arms. She looked around the cemetery with a faint hint of disgust on her face.
This was the first time she’d been here since Elisa had died.
Coming here wasn’t her idea of how she wanted to spend her day, but if she wanted to get back in with the Sullivan Group, she was just going to have to swallow her pride and deal with it. She glanced at Caroline out of the corner of her eye and then said in surprise,
“Mom, why are you so pale?”
Caroline reached up with her free hand and touched her face. She forced a smile.
“Am I really?”
Caroline had been feeling uncomfortable from the moment they’d entered the cemetery. It was like someone had run their icy fingers down her spine, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and filling her with a feeling of dread. Every time she’d blinked, she’d seen Elisa’s face behind her eyelids. Elisa had been dead for the past 24 years, but Caroline was still haunted by her.

Alice narrowed her eyes and looked at Caroline suspiciously.
Caroline looked away, refusing to meet her gaze.
“Alright, let’s go find Elisa’s tomb.”
“Okay,” Alice answered.
It took the three of them a long while to find Elisa’s tomb. Jack wasn’t much help in searching for it either; he hadn’t been to visit the cemetery for quite some time. When they did eventually find it, it was exactly how they remembered it to be. At the head of the tomb was rectangular, marble headstone with the words, “Here Lies Elisa Bennet” engraved on it. The black and white photo of Elisa in the upper right corner of the headstone showed her smiling charmingly down at them, her gentle eyes almost seeming to be alive. Elisa had always been elegant and delicate. The photo had captured that aspect of her very well. When she’d been alive, she’d had the most even temper and civil manners. It wasn’t hard to see that she was the daughter of one of the most famous female socialites.
“That’s strange. I wonder who else comes here aside from us,” Alice muttered when she noticed the bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone.
Caroline was just as surprised as her daughter. She had thought they’d arrive here to find Elisa’s tombstone covered in weeds and dirt. But it was clean, well kept, and the Lilies had obviously been left here not too long ago. She turned her puzzled gaze to Jack, only to see he looked just as confused as she did.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, you’re here.” Andy suddenly appeared near them.
He was dressed in a decent black suit, looking neat and presentable.
He’d just so happened to have heard Alice’s question.
“The flowers are from me. Lilies were Mrs. Bennet’s favorite.”
His eyes glossed over them, down to their empty hands. They’d brought nothing.
