Erin raised an eyebrow. "That's how it is!"
After saying that, she suddenly smacked her forehead. "Ah, I get it. You're not in that group."
Keira was confused. "What group?"
"The South Family Heiress Group!"
Erin laughed and pulled out her phone, opening a special app. She glanced at Keira. "I bet you don't know your sister's account password, right? All nine of us South family heiresses are in the group—there are ten people in total, including the current elder of the South family, who often shares prophetic messages about the future. You're not in the group, so it's no wonder you don't know."
Keira frowned.
She had used her sister's phone before, and she still had it. But when she opened the app, Keira realized she didn't know the login details.
Erin continued, "Just when you were chatting with Ryan Cobb, I got the news that he'll die in a week. That's why I spoke up. I figured I'd give him a heads-up, and if he appreciates it, we might prevent his death in a week. That way, we could smooth things over, and our families could continue working together! But, of course, he didn't believe me."
Keira tensed. "That prediction… is it real?"
"Of course, it's real." Erin looked at her. "You know the South family has the ability to predict the future!"
Keira furrowed her brow. "I'm like Ryan—I don't believe in this kind of supernatural stuff."
"If you don't believe it, I'll just show you," Erin said with a grin. "It's okay. Everyone starts out skeptical, then comes around."
Erin waved her phone. "Ryan will die in a car accident next week, around five in the afternoon. We'll see if the South family's predictions are accurate."
Keira's frown deepened. "Can it be prevented?"
"If it's a prediction, of course it can," Erin said, looking at her like she was missing the obvious. "Why else would we share it? Just to scare people? Besides, the South family has used this ability to gain power over countless people. As for Ryan, I've done my research—there's no other way to handle it. The Cobb family is untouchable in Crera. Nothing can threaten them. Bribery won't work either—nothing was tempting enough to sway them. So, this is the only option."
Keira stared at her. "How could it be such a coincidence that the prediction is about Ryan?"
"Good question! How could it be such a coincidence?" Erin teased, then rolled her eyes. "Obviously, it's not. I used this month's perk!"
Keira blinked. "Perk?"
Erin sighed. "Wow, you really don't know anything. Without me, any South family heiress would immediately know you're an imposter!"
She stepped closer, draping an arm around Keira's shoulders. "Every heiress gets one opportunity per month to ask about someone's fate. It's the one perk we're given. Without power or influence, with just the little money the family provides, do you really think anyone could build a business empire so quickly?"
Keira finally understood. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Erin had used her monthly chance to ask about Ryan's fate since there was no other way to deal with the Cobb family.
Keira clenched her jaw and kept looking at Erin. After a moment, she asked, "So, you're saying if I save Ryan in a week, he'll be grateful to me?"
"First off, we don't even know if you can save him," Erin said slowly.
Keira frowned. "If it's a car accident, I can just make sure he doesn't go out that day, right?"
Erin smiled playfully. "Do you really think you can stop someone from leaving the house?"
Keira paused. "I'll figure something out, but first, I need to know if what you're saying is true."
Erin nodded. "I'm certain. He'll die in a car accident."
Keira tightened her jaw, still skeptical.
Erin lowered her gaze. "The South family has survived for over a thousand years thanks to this ability, Keira. You can doubt a lot of things, but not this. Future heirs will inherit this power, and if you can't even believe in it yourself, how are you supposed to make predictions?"
Keira was dumbfounded.
She suddenly felt like the South family was running some kind of scam.
But maybe this was a good chance to see if their predictions were actually real.
