Chapter 1305 Outcomes Of The Gunn Family

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. The seer said Jacqueline would continue to bring wealth and prosperity to the Gunn family as long as she lives. 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.

I never thought such fantastical things were even possible in this world.

"Did Mr. Gunn know Jacqueline killed his granddaughter?" Shane asked with narrowed eyes.

Mr. Gunn's granddaughter was Jacqueline's mother.

Silas nodded. "From the Garcia family's report, Mr. Gunn was well aware of it. 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―"

"It's not that surprising, to be honest. After all, Mr. Gunn had always been a man who cared only for his benefits. He didn't care for Mrs. Graham, so his choice wasn't exactly a surprise when you compared an unfavorable granddaughter and a great-granddaughter that brought wealth and prosperity to his family," Shane reasoned.

Natalie nodded in understanding. "I get what you mean. I just think people like him are too scary."

"They are scary. There are many people like him in the industry," Shane said.

Natalie lamented. "How sad it was for Mrs. Graham to have Mr. Gunn as her grandfather."

"Don't worry. We won't be grandparents like that," Shane promised as he held Natalie's hand.

"Grandparents? Sharon is still a child. It's way too early to think about that," Natalie said with an arched brow.

"You're right." Shane laughed.

Natalie asked, "Oh, by the way, what happened to the rest of the Gunn family members?"

Silas answered, "Mr. Gunn was an elder, so he probably wouldn't get a heavy sentence. At most, he would be sent to a nursing home. After all, he was an excellent civil servant in his younger days. Materialism only started to consume him as he continued to dabble in the industry over the years. I reckoned the government will give him a lighter sentence based on his earlier achievements." "What about the others?" Natalie asked curiously.

"The Garcia family had found evidence of corruption and bribery on all of Mr. Gunn's sons. I'm afraid they will be staying in prison for a long time."

"That's good to hear. Lawbreakers should be punished for breaking the law," Shane said casually with his lips pressed into a thin line.

Getting up to his feet, he added, "Anyway, it's time to inform Jackson about Jacqueline's death."

"Yes, sir."

Shane hung up his phone and turned to Natalie. "Let's head downstairs."

"Okay." Natalie nodded.

The couple left the study hand-in-hand as they descended the stairs.

Soon, they arrived at the dining room.

Sharon and Connor immediately dropped their spoon before getting off their chairs the second they saw Shane and Natalie. The kids rushed to their side. "Daddy! Mommy!" Shane and Natalie each stretched their arms out to hug their children.

"Slow down." Shane bent down to carry Sharon. "You'll get hurt if you run into something."

The little girl wrapped her arms around her father's neck and laughed. "I won't. After all, Daddy would catch me. Am I right, Daddy?"

Gentleness filled Shane's eyes as he stared at his daughter. "You're right. I will always catch you and protect you."
