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.

Silvia glanced around and noticed that everyone was silent. It was clear that everyone agreed with Konnor. Then she looked at Zain, who was silent as if he could not hear. It seemed that all of this had nothing to do with him.

“Zain, do you also think so?” Silvia could not help but ask.

“Both Zain and you are on suspicions. Zain is not qualified to comment. From today on, I will temporarily take charge of the Austin family’s affairs. I will do my best to find out the cause of Marc’s death,” Gordon said when he straightened his back and got his cufflinks on.

“Zain has been in charge of the Austin family’s affairs for a long time. Do you think you can seize

power with a word?” Silvia sneered.

Gordon shouted, “Silvia! I still treat you as a member of the Austin family. You’d better not be ungrateful.”

When Silvia was about to say something more, a scolding was heard, “Enough!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zain slowly standing up. Zain straightened his upper body, placed his hands by his side, turned around, and looked at them. “Silvia, don’t argue

anymore.”

“Zain?!” Silvia looked at Zain in disbelief. She didn’t expect him to say this when he finally voiced

out.

“We will get to the bottom of the cause of grandpa’s death. Whoever it is, the real murderer cannot escape punishment,” Zain said with certainty, word by word.

Zain’s gaze slowly swept across people at present, paused on Silvia for a moment, and finally met Gordon’s eyes. “Gordon, I understand that you want me to keep a distance from Silvia to avoid gossip. However, you just came back from abroad. You are not familiar with the various things. about the company’s operations and family affairs. The company’s operations are simple. It’s not a problem for the high management to take care of it temporarily. As for family affairs..

“Whether it’s the company or the family, I can take over. Don’t you think I can do what you can do?”

Gordon said in disdain.

Zain ignored Gordon and turned to look at Konnor, who was standing off to the side. “The Austin family has a huge estate and complicated affairs. It is not at all easier than taking care of the company. What happened, however, was beyond our expectations. To convince everybody, and for the future of the Austin family, I am going to transfer the power in the affairs of the Austin family to Konnor for the time being. I don’t think you will have objections, will you?”

“Zain!” Gordon shouted angrily.

Gordon did not expect Zain to make such an arrangement.

Konnor probably didn’t expect that either. He was stunned for a while, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

A second later, Konnor wiped off the smile, cleared his throat, and then said, “Well, I’m old now.

It’s a tiring thing to be in charge of the affairs of the family. I’m afraid that I can’t take it with my

health condition.”

“That’s right. Konnor is old and his health condition is not good. Are you deliberately making things difficult? You’ve racked your brains to go against me, Zain,” Gordon said in a mocking tone.

“It’s indeed hard work for being in charge of the family and with great responsibility. Therefore, it requires a reliable person to take this position.”

Zain said, and placed a seal in Konnor’s hands, “Konnor, it’s all up to you now.”

Gordon never expected that Zain would hand over the family’s seal to Konnor in front of so many people. He was so anxious and angry that he wished to snatch it from Konnor’s hands.

However, in front of so many elders, Gordon did not dare to make things bigger. He gritted his teeth and said with a smile, “Konnor, you are old. Don’t work so hard for these countless trivial things. Why don’t you let me…”

Before Gordon could touch the seal, Konnor suddenly turned his wrist and put the seal away. Konnor looked up at Zain, and his eyes were much calmer. “Although I am old, I still have a clear mind. At this critical moment for the Austin family, I will try my best to hang on, hoping that I can do something for the Austin family with my great effort.

“Zain, Gordon, leave this seal with me. You don’t have to worry. I’m just an acting in-charge person. After finding out the cause of Marc’s death, I will return this seal to its original owner!”

The words “Return this seal to its original owner” were especially emphasized and said meaningfully.

Konnor did not say that it was Zain or Gordon. Instead, but used the word “original owner”. When this word came into everyone’s ears, the meaning was quite different.

Even if Gordon was unwilling to accept the fact, at this point, he could not go up to snatch it, but just glare hatefully and snort coldly.

By this moment, Silvia had seen through it.

What so-called scented candle, cause of death, or crime to be guilty of, it was just an excuse to fight for power and interests!

It was not important whether the scented candle was the cause of death or not, nor whether she was the murderer or not. The point was to pull Zain involved in the entire matter, making him suspicious, so that Zain would have to give up the controlling power in the Austin family.

So, Gordon’s final goal of his comeback was to seize power!

“Since Konnor is in charge now, would you please give me some instructions on how to investigate the cause of my grandfather’s death?”

Silvia directly threw the question to Konnor. The family head was not only in power but also had to do things and make decisions. Silvia was curious to know what story they would make on this

matter.
