Jenny hung up the phone. She turned to Lindsay, shaking her head. "I just don't get it. Why is Mom so nice to Olivia?"

"She's better to her than she is to me and Justin, and it even feels like she cares about Olivia more than her precious eldest son."

"I can't help but wonder if Olivia might actually be her biological child."

Lindsay chuckled. "If Olivia were her biological child, she wouldn't have been foolish enough to try to match her with Justin."

She knew Jenny had secretly done a paternity test to confirm that she and her brother were indeed their mother's biological children, so Olivia couldn't be.

Jenny thought for a moment. "You're right. But I still can't understand it. Could it be that Olivia is from Mom's side of the family?"

Mom did treat her own family much better than she treated them, especially helping them out.

"Can you take a look and see if there's any familial resemblance between Mom and Olivia?"

Lindsay laughed. "Sure! Find me a photo of your mom."

Jenny nodded an

    Jenny couldn’t help but feel disgusted by her own mother.Lindsay now understood why Abby disliked her but was so fond of Olivia. Abby had often gone out of her way to support Olivia in front of Grace. It was all about misplaced affection.Just then, Jenny's phone rang again.Seeing the caller ID, Jenny's expression turned complex. "It's my dad."Lindsay advised, "Don't tell him about this over the phone."It wasn’t safe to discuss such matters on the phone.Jenny nodded and answered, "Dad."Her tone was much kinder toward her biological father.Though her dad was somewhat of a romantic fool, he had always secretly protected her and Justin. When she was forced to live with her mother’s family and had a hard time, her dad often sent her money and had people deliver food, drinks, and toys.When he learned she was being mistreated, he subtly hinted that she could live with Justin. Being clever, she immediately thought of her grandfather and called him. Her grandfather came and took her in

    Jenny paused, glancing at Lindsay.Seeing Lindsay nod and gesture toward the phone, Jenny gave an OK sign in return.She then said to Mitch, "Dad, I'm not planning on going abroad again."Mitch was clearly more patient with his daughter. "Did you have a falling out with Joey again?"Jenny replied, "This time it's final."Mitch asked in surprise, "What happened?"Jenny explained honestly, "He was flirting with his assistant while stringing me along. I've had enough, so I'm done with him. There are plenty of other men out there. I don’t need him to survive."She couldn’t resist adding, "Good women are everywhere too. No one is indispensable, so don’t become a love-struck fool!"Mitch chuckled from the other end. "It seems my daughter has truly grown up. As long as you're happy. Joey two-timing you and the complications with the Long family do make him an unsuitable match. I've always told you he wasn’t a good choice, but you wouldn't listen and insist on chasing after him overseas."In t

    If Mitch were really just a romantic fool, always prioritizing love, his children's concerns would hardly matter compared to the woman he loved. If he truly loved Abby and listened to everything she said, he would have spoken to Jenny in a much more severe tone on the phone, perhaps even ordering her to hand over the divination artifact.What surprised her most was that Mitch had actually suggested Jenny go to Laura for advice. He knew that Abby feared Laura the most. This was very intriguing.The more Jenny thought about it, the more she felt Lindsay was onto something.She asked, puzzled, "Then what’s my dad’s angle in all this?"What could he possibly gain from Abby's infidelity? He couldn’t be that crazy.Lindsay pondered, "There must be more to this story. And have you noticed a strange coincidence? Casey, Olivia, and Jasmine are all half-siblings. Same father, three different mothers."Jenny couldn’t help but scoff, "Sounds like a playboy, only interested in sleeping around. It

    The relationship between Joey and Jasmine surprised both Jenny and Lindsay.Jenny shrugged. "Whether he had an ulterior motive or not, it's none of my business anymore. He used to tell me Jasmine was a relative."She scoffed. "Turns out she's that kind of relative."Lindsay patted her shoulder. "Just like your dad said, find someone better than him."Jenny nodded. "Whether he had his reasons or not, the fact is he strung me along. There's no way for us to be together now. Even if he begged on his knees, it wouldn't matter."If Joey had his reasons and couldn't be with her, he should have told her instead of stringing her along. Since he made his choice, she was right to let go.She was genuinely tired of this relationship and had truly moved on.Lindsay agreed, "I support you. Let's find someone better. And if we don't find anyone, being fabulous on our own is just fine."She wasn't going to get back with Justin either. Although his choices had hurt her before, she was still open to be

    She thought for a moment and asked, "By the way, was your mother’s delivery with your eldest brother a C-section or natural birth?"Jenny replied, "C-section. One of the reasons she doesn’t like me and Justin is that we made her go through another C-section."Lindsay asked, "Do you know Casey’s exact birth time?"Jenny shook her head. "I only know his birth date, but not the specific time. Every year, Mom celebrates his birthday, so I remember it. But she never celebrates mine or Justin’s birthdays. Dad always remembers and sends us birthday gifts every year."Lindsay suggested, "Try to find out his birth time."She added, "And ask the detective you know to continue investigating Olivia and Jasmine. Also, find out if they were born by C-section or natural birth. It would be best to get their exact birth times."Jenny, catching on, asked, "Are you suspecting there's something off with their birth details?"Lindsay nodded. "If they were born by C-section, it could have been timed deliber

    Joey gave a bitter laugh at Oliver's question. "You think I want to keep her around? She's my dad and that woman's spy. I keep her close so I can always be ready to counterattack."His gaze darkened. "Besides, I suspect she has her own issues. It's safer to keep her where I can see her."Oliver asked, "What kind of issues?"Instead of answering, Joey asked, "Do you think there was anything off about Olivia and those two mystics today?"Oliver thought for a moment. "They kept insisting on getting my blood and wanting me to make a choice to resolve something. That seemed odd to me."He quickly caught on. "You mean Olivia is connected to those two mystics?"Joey nodded. "Definitely connected. After what happened today, it seemed they were working together against you and Lindsay. I was just incidental."He continued in a deeper tone, "Remember this, Oliver: never give your blood to a mystic. Once they have it, they can use it to cast curses, make voodoo dolls, and more. This time, they w

    Jenny answered the call with irritation, "What do you want?"Justin reminded her, "Mom is after that antique you have. Keep it safe."Jenny was a bit surprised. "Oh, so you’re not being her lapdog today? I thought you’d be calling to ask for something to give to Olivia."Justin frowned. "Don't be so harsh."He sighed. "I’ve come to realize that whatever maternal affection there is, let Casey enjoy it."Now he felt that his past self was foolish and meaningless.Jenny clicked her tongue. "You’ve finally seen the light. Don’t let Mom sweet-talk you back into it."Justin rubbed his temples. "Can we talk without the hostility?"Jenny said, "No, we have nothing in common anymore."She was about to hang up. "Alright, I got it. Thanks for the warning."Justin quickly called out, "Wait. Is Linds with you? Can I talk to her?"He was looking at old photos of him and Lindsay, feeling nostalgic and missing her.Just hearing her voice would be enough.Jenny was exasperated. "Are you crazy?""Linds

    At this moment, Lindsay was on the phone with Charles. Sharon had recently been in a car accident and sustained minor injuries, so she wouldn't be able to participate in next week's variety show. Charles was planning to replace her with a permanent guest and add a few temporary guests throughout the week. With the show's rising popularity, many people were eager to join, and Charles found it difficult to refuse certain individuals or companies. This time, he decided to do Lindsay a favor by offering her the chance to bring one of her studio's artists to be a guest for a couple of days. Lindsay, who had recently arranged auditions for Fiona and Hector, decided to take Hector along and informed Charles. Hector needed more exposure and popularity.After hanging up the phone, Lindsay notified Hector to prepare for the variety show appearance.Jenny suddenly remembered something. She looked at Lindsay and asked, "When are we going to leak those photos I took?"Lindsay knew she was refer

    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
