Chapter 546 Poison in the House

On the other end of the call, Yunice sounded conflicted. “Peggy, you know how hard it is to book Ocea Silverburgh. I only got you that spot by pulling a lot of strings. If you change the dare now, everyone’s schedule shifts–and you’ll get blacklisted by the manager.”

Peggy complained, “Elsie just died! Owen refuses to let the wedding happen…”

Yunice said flatly, “Then there’s nothing I can do. I’ll book you for a few years later”

“What?” Peggy nearly shricked. “I can’t wait that long!”

Yunice chuckled. “Ocean Silverburgh is a business. Even if it’s family–run, we serve paying clients. I can’t just kick someone out to make room for you.”

“Three years is out of the question!” Peggy barked..

Yunice said smoothly, “Then maybe think it over.

Peggy hung up and looked upstairs.

Owen’s bedroom door was locked..

He always kept her out, guarding his room like a vault.

Her eyes drifted to the room next door–Elsie’s.

“What’s the point of keeping a dead girl’s room? Might as well give it to someone who needs it.”

She stepped into Elsie’s room and spotted the urn sitting on the lavender bedspread.

Her face twisted. “Freak. Is he turning the house into a mausoleum?”

Then he remembered the urn next door.

He bolted out of his room and flung open the door–to find Peggy in Elsie’s room.

kind of fertilizer.

He quickly looked at the urn. It was still on the bed, untouched.

His temper cooled a bit. “From now on, stay out of this room.

Peggy tossed the trowel aside and snapped. “Why? I’m the woman of this house! Half of this property is

mine!”

She added, “What, you want to turn this room into a shrine? Keep her ashes in here forever? Well, I won’t allow it. You put that urn here, I’ll toss it out myself“.

Owen seethed. “You-”

Peggy cut him off. “I’ve been way too patient with you! I want this wedding in three days. Not a day later. Or I’ll ruin you. I’ll drag your whole family into the tabloids!”

He raised his hand.

Peggy smirked, lifting her phone–already dialing the press. Her eyes dared him to strike.

Owen’s hand dropped. His face darkened.
