Chapter 390 One Possibility

"I see." Katherine finished the egg and dusted her hands off. "Let's go."

Joaquin smiled and got up to get the car keys. "Let's go." He didn't let Jeremy come with them that day. Instead, he took Katherine, turned the GPS on, and drove away.

Katherine got out of the car and looked at the deserted house, and she sighed. "Everyone's gone. This place is abandoned."

Joaquin went around the car and stood beside her, staring at the house. Calmly, he said, "After the Olsens went into a decline, nobody ever came back. It's normal that this place looks abandoned."

Curious, Katherine asked, "Not a single Olsen came?"

"Yes." Joaquin nodded. "They go their own separate ways now. Not many are in Kyoland."

Katherine thought it was a pity. "Well, nothing lasts forever, even riches." They went inside without saying anything more.

The place was so old, they managed to unlock the door without much strength, then they hung the rusted lock aside. That made this house look even more abandoned.
