Oliver's anger made his chest hurt even more.

He looked at Olivia and asked, "Did you check the trending topics?"

Olivia was confused. "What trending topics?"

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Oliver handed her his phone. "See for yourself."

Olivia took the phone and after reading, her expression turned ugly.

She had just been so happy and excited about landing the lead role in the highly anticipated fantasy drama and the chance to undermine Lindsay.

Who would have thought that this role was one that Lindsay had turned down?

It left a bitter taste in her mouth.

She couldn't believe she ended up taking a role that Lindsay didn't want. It was infuriating!

What was Lindsay thinking? Choosing the second lead over the first?

Seeing Olivia's expression change, Oliver believed she genuinely didn't know about this. But it made him feel even more foolish for trusting her, especially after Lindsay's mockery.

With a cold face, he said, "So after all this, you wanted me to be a clown for Lindsay?"

    Because Oliver had always been very indulgent and protective of Olivia, she didn't notice anything unusual about him. She just assumed he was in pain and in a bad mood.So, she shared her thoughts, "Oliver, you should ask Mr. Zion to revise the script. The second lead doesn't have enough scenes. You should have them add more scenes for the second lead."She then elaborated on how these additional scenes should be incorporated.Oliver hadn't realized before just how scheming Olivia could be.He asked, "Do you know why Mr. Zion, who had previously promised me, now lets Lindsay choose her role first? And why he blatantly disrespected me when he called Elric?"Olivia thought for a moment. "Is it because of Lindsay? Mr. Zion knows that Lindsay is your sister, so he's doing this because of her."That was what she believed.Oliver shook his head. "No. When I initially asked for this role for you, I had to use a favor to force it. Mr. Zion originally wanted another actress for the lead role an

    Olivia had indeed intentionally kept a close relationship with her brothers since childhood, making them develop a habit of doting on her and treating them as her possessions. However, being accused by Oliver like this was something she couldn't accept.She cried, "I didn't, Oliver, don't listen to those rumors. We are siblings!"Oliver suddenly laughed. "Siblings? If you know we're siblings, then why do you always want to hug me? What kind of sister constantly tries to snuggle into her brother's arms? Unless you wanted to have a romantic relationship with me."Joey's words that day had completely awakened him to the nature of his relationship with Olivia.Olivia couldn't believe it. "Oliver, how can you insult me like this? Hugging and being close is just how we have been since we were kids. I only rely on you and feel close to you, how can you see it this way?"Oliver was already irritated, his chest and stomach hurt badly, and after what had happened earlier, he had lost patience w

    Joey's cool voice came through the phone. "I just wanted to ask, are the places where you were hit still hurting?"He had been in pain all night, and Jasmine had just come to him in tears, complaining that her face was burning even more.This time, he believed her and became suspicious, which prompted him to call Oliver.Oliver was taken aback. "Are you saying the places you were hit are still hurting too?"He asked, "Did you go for a check-up and find nothing wrong, but the pain persists, making it impossible to sleep at night?"Joey was silent for a moment. "Yes, exactly."He continued, "It's very likely that Lindsay did something to us. Jenny wouldn’t know these things."Oliver agreed, "That's what I suspected too."Joey shifted the burden. "Then it's up to you to find out what Lindsay wants so she can relieve this pain."Oliver was speechless for a moment before he retorted, "Why me? Why don't you ask Jenny?"Joey replied, "Lindsay is your sister, not mine. And Jenny doesn't know a

    Oliver went to see a psychologist. After reviewing his test results, the psychologist also concluded that his pain seemed to be psychosomatic.So, the psychologist tried to help with some counseling and mental techniques, but they didn't work; the pain persisted.Oliver then asked a friend to help him schedule an appointment with another highly renowned psychologist.After the session, the result was the same.The psychologist even conducted a special test.After reviewing the test results, he told Oliver that it wasn't a psychological issue.He suggested that Oliver might want to consult a mystic.If his body was healthy and his mind was normal, the only thing left to try was a metaphysical solution.Oliver wasn't too disappointed with this outcome; he had already prepared himself for it.Given that his sister was a mystic, it was highly likely she had done something.Instead of immediately going to his father, he first had friends recommend certified mystics to consult.He saw three

    After hanging up the phone, Oliver sent a message to Joey.Then he went to find Olivia.At the moment, Olivia was in Raymond's room, being comforted by Raymond and Brandon.Seeing Oliver walk in, both of them were unhappy.Raymond frowned. "Oliver, why are you also bullying Via? That's too much."Brandon echoed, "Yeah, Oliver, just because things aren't going well for you publicly, doesn't mean you should take it out on Via!"Oliver was speechless.Looking at their reactions, he thought these two brothers were unbelievably foolish.He didn't bother arguing with them.Let them figure it out themselves later, once they cleared their heads of nonsense.He turned to Olivia and said, "I talked to Dad, and he's arranged for the mystic at Harper Group to take a look at us. Do you want to go?"Olivia immediately replied, "I'll go, are we leaving now?"She was already prepared.Oliver nodded. "Yes, let's go."He didn't wait for her and left the room, instructing the butler to arrange for a driv

    Gabe, the Mystic employed by the Harper Group, was naturally skilled to have earned his position. However, at this moment, his confidence wavered.He took the black ash and sniffed it but found nothing unusual.Why had the talisman suddenly burned?He looked at the four and asked, "Are you still in pain?"Oliver clutched his chest. "Not only does it still hurt, but it feels even worse."He thought this mystic was clearly a fraud.Joey added, "The pain has doubled, and it feels like burning."They were sure Lindsay had done something to them.But instead of resolving it, the mystic seemed to have triggered something, making their pain worse.Olivia and Jasmine cried out in pain, "It hurts, it's too painful."Gabe was at a loss.How could this be?Typically, the talisman turning to ash indicated it had served its purpose by warding off evil.But how could the pain intensify?The most baffling part was that he hadn't detected any negative energy in the four of them.After thinking for a

    Oliver had no intention of giving the prayer charm to Olivia.He paused, then said, "Let me keep them a little longer to help with the pain. I'll give them to you soon." Of course, he could decide when "soon" actually meant.Olivia couldn't believe that Oliver would ignore her pain.He had promised to always protect and pamper her. What a liar.Already in pain, she now felt an additional, indescribable sense of grievance.Crying even more sorrowfully, she didn't dare get too close to her brothers in front of Richard, so she tugged at Brandon's sleeve beside her.Seeing her in such distress, Brandon felt a pang of sympathy.He nudged Raymond, and they exchanged a look, nodding in agreement.Fortunately, Oliver was sitting next to Raymond.Raymond suddenly hugged Oliver tightly, while Brandon quickly stood up and snatched the prayer charm from Oliver's hand, passing them to Olivia.He then gave Oliver a disapproving look.

    Jasmine noticed that Joey not only kept the crystal pendant to himself but also closed his eyes.She had expected this outcome but couldn't help feeling a glimmer of hope.The harsh truth hit her again. This man was cold-hearted and felt no sympathy for her. She couldn't help but wonder: if Jenny needed the pendant, would Joey hand it over without hesitation?The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Yet, she couldn't let go. She curled up on the sofa, biting her lip and crying sorrowfully.Gabe left the office temporarily to make preparations and bring someone to assist him. Richard's gaze moved between his three sons and adopted daughter. He hadn't expected Raymond and Brandon to snatch the prayer charm from Oliver and give them to Olivia so brazenly. Their self-righteous attitude after doing so left him speechless and distressed.He couldn't help but wonder: if it ever came down to a choice between Oliver and Olivia's survival, would these two sons choose their sister

    In the vibrant district of the historic town, the streets were lined with vintage boutiques and various artisan stalls. Lindsay's group visited the town’s administration office and rented a temporary booth.Alex and Justin eagerly borrowed a table and chairs, setting up the booth. Following Lindsay's instructions, they also bought a piece of white fabric and worked together to create a simple sign. The production team provided markers and other supplies.Lindsay glanced over at Benedict and said, "Benedict, I’ll let you handle writing the banner."She was eager to observe his writing and the energy he gave off while doing it.Benedict sighed inwardly—this girl was constantly trying to test him. After a moment’s thought, he nodded. "Alright, I’ll write it."He grabbed a marker, uncapped it, and wrote in bold letters across the white fabric: “Fortune Telling, Divination, and Tarot Readings.”Lindsay watched him closely, noticing the fluidity of his movements as he wrote, his posture exud

    Justin added, "My mom’s been trying to get me to help Olivia and distance myself from Lindsay. She’s also said plenty of nasty things about Lindsay. This time, not only did I ignore her, but I even pushed back. It probably pissed her off, and now she’s taking it out on Lindsay."Alex, clearly upset, said, "You should talk to her and tell her to stop fixating on Lindsay. Lindsay hasn’t done anything to provoke her. It’s ridiculous."He was frustrated that Justin’s mom had been stirring up trouble, making Grace even more difficult to deal with.Justin nodded. "Alright, after the show is over, I’ll have a talk with her."He also felt his mom was acting out of line. Back when he liked Lindsay, her disapproval at least made sense. But now that Lindsay had kicked him to the curb, his mom’s continued obsession was baffling.Although they were speaking softly, Lindsay and Benedict, walking ahead, heard every word.Lindsay found the situation with Abby baffling as well. A woman who fawned over

    After Lindsay left, the other guests quickly followed, leaving only Alex standing there awkwardly. He spoke briefly to the production staff, and they soon shifted the cameras away from that area. Alex then walked over to Grace, saying, "Mom, since Lindsay won’t lend it, let’s just drop it."Grace shot him a cold glare, her expression dark. "How can you be so heartless? The one lying in bed is your fourth brother. Are you hanging around Lindsay all the time just to learn how to be cold and ruthless?"Unable to contain her frustration toward Lindsay, Grace directed it at Alex instead.Alex sighed in exasperation. "Even if we need help, it has to be something she’s willing to do! We’ve wronged Lindsay enough as it is, so why do you keep trying to guilt-trip her? Brandon’s situation isn’t Lindsay’s fault. Why don’t you go find Olivia? She’s the one who caused all this, maybe she can fix it. After all, whoever’s behind her is no easy target."Right now, all Alex felt toward Lindsay was gui

    Grace held back her anger and said, "It'll only take a few minutes. I have something important to discuss with you."Lindsay sat back down in her seat. "Fine, go ahead."The livestream was on, and Lindsay was fully aware of it—she was doing this on purpose.Grace was about to speak when her assistant whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed, and she subtly shifted her body to turn away from the camera.Then she looked at Lindsay. "Can we talk outside?"In her rush to find Lindsay, she had almost forgotten that this was a live-streamed variety show. She didn’t want to be on camera, much less discuss such personal matters in front of an audience.Lindsay, however, refused. "If it's important, say it here. If not, then don’t say anything."Grace’s expression darkened. "It’s because it’s important that we need to talk privately."She emphasized, "It’s not appropriate in front of the camera."Lindsay just smiled. "Unless it's something shady, what’s wrong with saying it on cam

    Lindsay thought about it for a while and figured that if Grace was coming to find her, it was probably for Brandon. The only thing she could want would be the artifact in her possession.Alex saw her reply and couldn’t help but smile wryly. His sister was indeed sharp and saw right through it.He sent a voice message, repeating what the head of the Divination Association had told them. "Mom just wants to borrow the artifact from you to suppress Brandon’s condition."Lindsay replied, "Tell her not to waste her energy."Seeing that message, Alex knew right away that she wouldn’t lend it out. It didn’t surprise him—his sister could be ruthless when she wanted to be."We can’t convince her otherwise, not even Dad can stop her... sigh," Alex added. When their mom’s temper flared, she wouldn’t listen to anyone.Lindsay didn’t seem to care. "Then let her come. I’m not going to do her any favors."Alex recalled the conversation between their parents at the hospital and decided to warn her, "M

    Recently, Grace had been spending more time with Abby, often meeting up for outings. Over time, Richard noticed that Grace's anger towards their biological daughter had deepened. Abby had always disliked Lindsay and showed more favoritism towards Olivia. She must have been stirring up trouble and egging Grace on whenever they met. With time, Grace was bound to be influenced.Grace, clearly annoyed, said, "You even want to control who I make friends with? Aren't you going too far? What's wrong with me getting along with Mrs. Ford and spending more time with her?"Richard felt cornered. "I just think there's something off about her. Her intentions in getting close to you don't seem good. That's why I'm trying to give you a heads-up."Grace didn't believe him at all. "I think you're overthinking it. We’ve always had a decent relationship. We’re just closer now, that’s all.""What do you men know about women’s matters? Don't interfere." She now had plenty to talk about with Abby. Jenny wa

    Richard glanced at Grace with clear disapproval. “This whole mess was caused by Olivia and Brandon. What does any of it have to do with Lindsay?”He could tell that recent events, and the embarrassment caused by their sons, had left his wife feeling bitter. It seemed she had begun to project that frustration onto Lindsay, despite the situation having little to do with her.Grace crossed her arms defensively. “If it wasn’t for her ongoing fight with Olivia, Brandon wouldn’t have gotten involved. He’s her brother. Doesn’t she owe him some consideration now that he’s in this condition?”Richard frowned. “What exactly are you trying to say?”Valarie, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, her displeasure clear. “I see it differently. It’s Olivia and your son who started the trouble, and all Lindsay did was defend herself. Are you really looking to embarrass yourselves even more?”Grace shifted uncomfortably, feeling the sting of her mother-in-law’s words. “I’m just thinking abou

    Given the Harper family's persistence, there was no way the Divination Association could avoid a thorough investigation. Seeing that Randolph wouldn’t back down, the official left, courteously escorted out by Randolph, who, for the moment, had ceased his protests.Valarie carefully placed the multicolored stone inside a small protective pouch before securing it around Brandon's neck. Though he felt a slight relief after putting it on, the bad luck continued. As the official had warned, his misfortune was too severe for one artifact to fully contain.Randolph tried every connection he had, attempting to borrow a second artifact, but came up empty-handed. Time slipped by, and evening approached before they could find any further solutions.By the time Richard and Grace arrived at the hospital, they were met with the weary faces of their parents. Feeling guilty for everything his father had gone through, Richard bowed his head. "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry you had to go through this today."

    Hearing their words, the hope that had briefly flickered in Brandon’s eyes quickly faded, leaving him more devastated than before. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong," he muttered, finally realizing the truth. His foster sister had been nothing but trouble—far from trustworthy, she had been a constant source of harm. Meanwhile, his real sister, though harsh and distant, had proven to be far more reliable. Regret gnawed at him deeply.Randolph sighed, his voice heavy with disappointment. “Knowing you’re wrong doesn’t change anything. It’s too late now.”Turning back to the two mystics, Randolph asked, “If you can’t break the curse directly, could you at least help suppress his misfortune? Maybe with a protective charm or some kind of mystical object?”Despite his frustration with his grandson’s foolishness, he couldn’t just leave him to suffer.Both mystics exchanged uneasy glances. “We don’t have the ability to suppress his bad luck with charms.”“For something like that, you’d need t
