My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！

She\'d heard from her grandfather before that the South family supposedly had the ability to predict the future. But it was just hearsay—she had never seen it for herself.

Now, hearing Erin casually say something like that made her feel like Erin was some kind of... charlatan!

Ryan Cobb frowned as well. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Erin noticed his expression and smiled slightly. "Mr. Cobb, is that look because you don\'t believe me?"

Ryan lowered his eyes. "I\'ve heard of the South family, but I\'ve never believed in the supernatural. And I definitely don\'t buy into this curse business."

Erin frowned. "It\'s not a curse. It\'s a prophecy. Mr. Cobb, you must\'ve heard the stories. The South family\'s predictions have never failed."

She clasped her hands behind her back and started pacing in front of Ryan. "Let\'s skip what happened before I was born. Just ten years ago, the South family predicted the sudden death of Crera\'s richest man—down to the exact time and place. Five years ago, we predicted the death of the founder of Lemon Mobile in Country M, even nailing the cause of death. Those are just the two most famous cases. There are plenty more, and if you do a little digging, you\'ll find them."

Ryan let out a dismissive laugh. "It\'s all just coincidence."

But Gavin Cobb\'s face grew serious. "Ryan, sometimes it\'s better to be safe than sorry. Miss South, you said my brother will die in a week. How exactly?"

Erin smiled at him warmly. "Revealing the future comes with a price. What\'s Mr. Cobb willing to offer in exchange?"

She glanced at Gavin, making her meaning clear: she was still interested in continuing the partnership with the Gill family.

Gavin immediately said, "If you can save my brother, I\'ll—"

"Shut up."

Ryan cut him off before he could finish. "I\'ve already said the Cobb family doesn\'t believe in this nonsense. Miss South, please leave."

Erin\'s face turned anxious. "Why are you like this? I\'m just trying to help you! But fine, if you don\'t want my help, then forget it! Keera, let\'s go!"

She grabbed Keira\'s arm and marched toward the door.

Keira raised her eyebrows but followed after her.

Watching the two leave, Mrs. Gill couldn\'t help but lean closer to Ryan. "I\'ve heard about the South family too, Ryan. Do you really not believe them?"

From a family perspective, Ryan was technically Mrs. Gill\'s nephew, and he responded politely. "Auntie, they\'re just trying to scam people. There are no such things as ghosts or prophecies in this world. I don\'t believe any of it."

Then he turned to Gavin. "Now that you\'re married to Selena Horton, she\'s family. The Cobb family doesn\'t cause trouble, but we also don\'t shy away from it. It\'s just a business partnership; there\'s no need to bend over backward for outsiders."

When it came to marriage, the Cobb family valued personal choice above all else.

Though Gavin was from a branch of the family, he and Ryan were close. Gavin was skilled and had become Ryan\'s right-hand man, so Ryan held him in high regard.

Selena had been vetted by the family. Aside from being an illegitimate child of the Horton family, she was practically flawless.

That was also why Oliver was fond of her. On paper, Selena was exceptional. She\'d been the valedictorian of her class and had won numerous awards across various fields. She was intelligent and poised.

Gavin\'s decision to marry her made sense.

Gavin nodded and looked at Ryan again. "Ryan, I know what to do. Selena married me, and unless she betrays me, I won\'t let her down."

"Good."

Ryan didn\'t say anything further, showing he hadn\'t taken Erin\'s words to heart. He escorted everyone out without a second thought.

Gavin, along with Mrs. Gill, also left the room.

Once they were outside, Mrs. Gill turned to Gavin. "That Selena... she even betrayed her own father. She strikes me as a woman who\'ll do anything for personal gain. Gavin, are you sure you want to stay so loyal to her?"

Gavin said, "Selena and I met in college. She didn\'t know who I was back then. She had plenty of admirers, but out of all the rich guys chasing her, she chose me—the one who kept a low profile. Auntie, she genuinely loves me."

Mrs. Gill sighed softly. "I hope you\'re right."

Gavin\'s face fell. "It\'s just... now that she\'s sick... I need to spend more time with her."

"Go on, then," Mrs. Gill said gently.

Gavin made his way to the back of the estate. Since Ryan had taken a liking to him, Gavin was currently living at the Cobb residence.

Selena was sitting in their room, still puzzled as to why Gavin had bailed her out of jail. Her eyes suddenly landed on a medical report.

Her gaze froze on two words: colon cancer.

Gavin had colon cancer?!

If that was true, then who would protect her?

Panic flooded Selena\'s face.

Meanwhile, outside the Cobb residence, Keira looked over at Erin and asked directly, "So, what\'s the deal with this South family prophecy thing?!"
