Chapter 736

Natalie Castillo raised an eyebrow.

"That's exactly it!"

She suddenly smacked her forehead, a look of sudden realization dawning on her face.

"Oh, I get it now. You're not in that group chat."

Evelyn Ross was taken aback.

"What group chat?"

"The 'Sterling Family Heir Competition' group chat!"

Natalie said with a laugh.

She directly took out her phone, opened an encrypted communication app, and turned the screen towards Evelyn.

"You probably don't know your sister's account password, right? All nine of us Sterling Family heirs are in this group. There are ten people in total; the other one is a current elder of the Sterling Family. They often post some prophetic messages about the future in the group. You're not in it, so it's normal you didn't know."

Evelyn frowned.

She had indeed used her sister's phone, and that phone was still in her possession.

She opened that app and found she truly didn't know the account password.

Natalie spoke up.

"Just now, while you were chatting with Sebastian, I happened to receive a message saying Sebastian would die in a week. That's why I spoke up. I thought, if I gave him a heads-up, he'd owe me a favor. If we could prevent his death a week later, it would resolve this conflict, and our families could continue cooperating. Who knew he wouldn't believe it at all."

Evelyn's jaw tightened.

"Is this prophecy... true?"

"Of course it's true." Natalie looked at Evelyn. "Don't you know? The Sterling Family has the ability to foresee the future!"

Evelyn's brow furrowed deeply.

"I'm like Sebastian. I don't believe in these mystical things."

"If you don't believe it, this is a perfect chance for you to see for yourself." Natalie smiled. "It's fine. Everyone goes through this moment, from disbelief to belief."

Natalie waved her phone.

"Sebastian will die in a car accident around 5 PM a week from now. We can just verify the authenticity of the Sterling Family's prophecy."

Evelyn frowned.

"Can this... be avoided?"

"Since it's a prophecy, of course it can." Natalie looked at her as if she were an idiot. "Otherwise, why say it? Just to create panic? Besides, the Sterling Family has used this prophetic ability to win over countless people! As for Sebastian, since there's no other way, and I've inquired about the Truman Family—they're practically impenetrable. In the US, hardly anyone can threaten them. As for incentives... no benefit can touch their core interests. So, this is the only method left!"

Evelyn stared at Natalie.

"How can the prophecy be such a coincidence, predicting Sebastian?"

"That's a good question. How can it be such a coincidence?" Natalie played coy, then rolled her eyes. "Of course, it's not that coincidental! I used this month's benefit, okay?"

Evelyn was puzzled.

"What benefit?"

Natalie sighed.

"You really don't know anything. Without me, any Sterling Family heir who saw you would immediately realize you're a fake!"

She stepped forward and hooked an arm around Evelyn's neck.

"Every Sterling Family heir, each month, gets one chance to inquire about the fate of a specific person. It's the only bit of privilege the Sterling Family gives its heirs. Otherwise, with no power or influence, just the small allowance from the family, do you really think anyone could build a commercial empire in a short time?"

Evelyn understood.

Natalie meant... the Sterling Family gives each person one chance per month to ask about someone else's destiny!

And the Sterling Family heirs can often use this opportunity to gain support from major figures!

So, Natalie knew the Truman Family situation was tough and specifically used this chance?

She clenched her jaw, continuing to look at Natalie. After a long moment, she spoke again.

"You mean, if I save Sebastian a week from now, he'll feel grateful to me?"

"First, whether we can save him is still uncertain." Natalie said slowly.

Evelyn immediately frowned.

"If it's a car accident, can't I just find a way to keep him from going out that day?"

Natalie asked with a smile.

"Can you control someone and keep them from leaving the house?"

Evelyn paused.

"...I'll find a way. But first, I need to be sure what you're saying is correct."

Natalie spoke immediately.

"What I'm saying is absolutely accurate. He will definitely die in a car accident!"

Evelyn's jaw remained tight, still somewhat unconvinced.

Natalie lowered her gaze.

"The Sterling Family has survived in this world for over a thousand years relying on this ability. Evelyn, you can doubt anything about the Sterling Family, but not this! Because, the heirs are meant to inherit this ability in the future. If you don't even believe it yourself, how can you make prophecies?"

Evelyn was even more confused.

She suddenly felt like the Sterling Family was a bunch of charlatans!

But, this was also a good opportunity to see if the Sterling Family truly possessed such an ability!
