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.”

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.
