President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 937

The whole thing was quite a sensation.

After all, Mr. Quill was fairly well-known around the area, since the Quill family was probably the only one that had earned some fame outside the village.

Although everyone knew their fortunes weren’t earned decently.

Over the past few years, however, the Quill family had done lots of good deeds for the village after making a fortune: they built bridges, roads, and schools and provided financial aid to those in need.

People should never judge others only by their bad deeds, but also by the good ones.

Surely, those so-called “bad deeds” did not harm their interests in any way, while people did benefit from his charities.

And that's why Mr. Quill enjoyed quite a reputation around, even more prominent than the chief.

After Mr. Quill's great-granddaughter went missing, many people joined the rescue team looking for her, however, no one found any trace of hers.

If she were dead, then at least the body should be found, but she just vanished.

Later, rumor had it that Mr. Quill accidentally killed an innocent man in his youth, and now karma coming back to bite him in the ass.

The ghost of his past mistakes had already claimed several lives of his offspring, and now he came back again to take his great-granddaughter Fiona away.

Too many wrongdoings had been made, but he was too tough to kill, so the retribution fell on his descendants.

As the rumors continued to spread, people’s attitudes towards him began to shift.

Unlike the old generation who remained respectful to Mr. Quill, the young were not afraid of him.

They knew about his contributions, but those were already decades ago.

Nowadays with growing government expenditure on the public welfare, things started to get better in the village, and the donation from Mr. Quill seemed rather needless.

Because of that, he hadn't done much work in recent years, therefore the young generation felt unnecessary to fear him.

More and more malicious rumors became widespread.

Some naughty children even threw pebbles at his window in the middle of the night.

Mr. Quill had spent his whole life in the underworld with no one to trust. The disappearance of his great-granddaughter left the old man all alone in the great villa. There was nothing he can do with those broken windows.

The good news was that the adults would forbid the children from being way out of line, probably because they feared that the curse might come to their children.

Natalia couldn't help but frown as she listened to Nancy's reports.

As an atheist, she had always doubted the existence of ghosts.

But the unnatural death across several generations of the Quill family was indeed weird.

She pondered for a while and said, “Nancy, I want more details about the Quill family, see if you can find anything about Mr. Quill's past.”

Nancy took her command and left.

Then Natalia went downstairs and told Mrs. Dottie to arrange a guest room.

After the arrangement had been made, Archie arrived.
