Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 937

This matter caused quite a stir in the area.

After all, Uncle Brooks was considered a relatively famous person here. The small village did not produce any celebrities and the only famous ones were the Brooks family.

Everyone knew that the fortune made by their family was not something that could see the light of day, in which some were even considered dirty money.

Over the years, with that money, the Brooks family had built bridges and paved roads for their village, built schools for their children, hired teachers, and done a lot of good things that improved the lives of the villagers.

Everyone did not judge them only by the bad deeds they had done, but also their good deeds.

Besides, in their opinion, those so-called bad deeds did not harm any of their interests.

Moreover, every good deed that Grandpa Brooks did for them had a real and immediate impact on their lives.

Due to this, Grandpa Brooks had quite a good reputation in the area — even greater than that of the village head.

When the villagers heard that Grandpa Brooks’s great-granddaughter had disappeared, everybody lent a hand in looking for her. However, no matter how they searched, there was still no news of her whereabouts after half a month.

If she were dead, they should have found a body, but it was as if she had vanished without a trace, so everyone was helpless.

That was why a strange rumor gradually spread in the area.

It was said that when Uncle Brooks was young, he made a big mistake and killed someone, so the aggrieved ghost had come to pester him.

Not only did the ghost come for his great-granddaughter, but it also came after his two sons and their wives, as well as his grandchildren and grandchildren-in-law. All of whom were killed out of revenge.

Grandpa Brooks must have done too many bad deeds when he was younger. However, he was so resilient that revenge could not be taken on him, but on his children and grandchildren instead. It was all bad karma.

Rumors like that gradually spread throughout the village, and Grandpa Brooks’s reputation started to take a hit.

Although the older generation did not dare to say anything for the sake of his past contributions, the young generation was different.

They too knew that Grandpa Brooks had built bridges, paved roads, and built schools for the village, but that was many decades ago.

Now that everything was taken care of by the state and government, the village was better off and no longer needed much help.

Hence for all these years, Grandpa Brooks did not provide any real contributions to the village, so the younger generation was not afraid of him.

With that, all kinds of unpleasant words began to surround the old man.

Some mischievous children even threw stones and broke Grandpa Brooks’s window in the middle of the night.

It was a pity that the old man had been in muddy waters all his life, so he trusted no one, and now that his only great-granddaughter was gone, he lived in the huge villa alone. Even if the window was broken, there was no way of fixing it.

Luckily, the village elders still had some decency and forbade their children to go overboard.

It was also because the curse on the Brooks family was too strong and evil that they were afraid that if their children caused too much trouble, the curse would reflect on them, affecting the children's fortunes and health in return.

Nell raised her eyebrows lightly after listening to Nancy's report.

She was a firm atheist and had never believed in any aggrieved ghosts that would haunt people for revenge.

However, the fact that several generations of the Brooks family had untimely deaths was too coincidental.

After pondering for a while, Nell said, "Nancy, go and look into the Brooks family's past, especially some of the things that happened when Grandpa Brooks was young. Tell me once you find anything."

Nancy nodded and left.

Nell thought about it a little and went downstairs. She then told Aunt Joyce that her guests would be arriving the next day and asked her to clean up a guest room.

Once Aunt Joyce got the order, she went on to make some arrangements, and just at that moment, Gideon returned home.
