Sweet Revenge

Chapter 317 It Is Just an Excuse

“Well said! If there is a secret behind grandpa’s death, I will look into it and find out the truth! So…” Silvia looked around and said, “Let’s call the police.”

With that, Silvia took out her phone. “Since we have different opinions, it would be fair to turn this matter over to the police. Grandpa will not rest in peace until this matter is cleared up.”

However, before Silvia could dial the number, her arm was pressed down. Konnor frowned and said in a deep voice, “We can’t call the police.”

“Agreed, we can’t call the police. Don’t call the police.”

The surrounding elders said one after another, disagreeing to call the police in unison surprisingly.

“We are a big family with a history of a century. No matter who did, it will be a disgrace for the Austin family if such a thing gets out. So we can only settle it internally. No matter who it is, we have the Austin family’s rules to decide. No outsiders are needed to get involved.”

It was obvious that Konnor said what most of the elders were thinking. They nodded in agreement

one after another.

“Konnor, this is not a trivial matter, but a big matter that was related to the cause of my grandfather’s death. If someone attempted to harm grandpa, it would be a murderer. How can we only use family rules to settle this?”

Silvia never thought that these conservative elders would resolutely refuse to call the police and wanted to settle this privately.

“Do you

think yourself terrific after studying abroad for a couple of years? You know what? I still have the power of speech in the Austin’s house. I am old but still alive, so it is not your turn to tell us what to do, little girl. We will look into this matter and find out the cause of Marc’s death. But if you dare to call the police and ruin the reputation of the Austin family, which has lasted for a century, you will be banished from the family and never think of returning.

Konnor pointed at Silvia with his forefinger and shouted sternly.
