A few months passed, and the Gunn family had finally collapsed.

Hearing Silas' words, Natalie was shocked. “That's strange. The Garcia family hasn't even made a move against the Gunn family after Jacqueline's death, and they already collapsed? Sounds bizarre to me.”

Silas explained, “It was quite inconceivable, but the Garcia family had an explanation for their collapse. Jacqueline had her fate read by a seer when she was a child.

That was the reason why Mr. Gunn doted on her so much, despite her being his great-granddaughter.”

“I see. In that case, what happened to the Gunn family matched what the seer said. No matter how much oppression the Gunn family faced, they were still surviving on their last legs because Jacqueline was still alive. The moment she passed away, however, the Gunn family collapsed too.” Natalie realized with disbelief.

However, since he had a couple of granddaughters and Jacqueline's mother was not his favorite, he probably would've forgotten about her if it wasn't for Jacqueline. He was stunned briefly about Jacqueline being the murderer, but then he cleaned up after her by erasing all the evidence as if nothing happened.”

“Oh my goodness! Is he even human? His own granddaughter was murdered, and yet—”
