Upon hearing about the online situation from others, Richard immediately checked the trending searches and his face turned ashen with anger.

"This is outrageous, utterly outrageous."

He had never expected that his adopted daughter and his three sons would become this intimate. The shareholders had also seen the trending search and looked at Richard with sympathy.

"Your adopted daughter really is a troublemaker."

Indeed, the adopted daughter of the Harper family was formidable, having all three Harper sons fall under her spell.

The Harper brothers were even more out of line. Didn't they have any sense of propriety or shame?

Richard was so angry he didn't know what to say. "Exactly, a troublemaker."

If not for Olivia, his biological daughter wouldn't have cut ties with them after reuniting with the family and broken up with her boyfriend.

He had never realized before how much trouble Olivia could stir up.

"These rebellious sons are good for nothing."

    Oliver was stunned by Grace’s slap, leaving him completely bewildered."Mom, what did I do to upset you?" Since young, his parents had never laid a finger on him. The slap was unexpected.Edmund had a suspicion. "Is it because of what's been going on online?" They had been receiving calls and messages on their way back.Grace's face was stern. "What else?" she demanded, looking at her eldest son. "Have you ever been this close with Olivia?"This question caught Edmund off guard. He shook his head. "No."He had carried Olivia to her room when she fell asleep and sometimes draped an arm around her shoulder to comfort her. But due to their age difference and his personality, he had never been overly affectionate like his younger brothers had. He certainly hadn't kissed her on the face or held her on his lap after they became adults.Grace fixed her gaze on him. "You better not have, and don't let it happen in the future.""Don't forget, you are engaged," she reminded him."No wonder

    "You were the one who wanted to bring Olivia into the family," he argued. "You insisted from the start that we treat her like a real sister. Now that things have turned out this way, how can you put all the blame on us?"It was ridiculous; he wasn't the only one close to Olivia, so why was he the only one being hit and scrutinized?Grace was taken aback by his words and pointed at him, "You, you ungrateful son, are you blaming me now?"Oliver shrugged. "I'm not saying it's all your fault, but don't we all share some responsibility here? Olivia has always been proactive in being close with us brothers. She even led us to cuddle and kiss her."It was only after Joey pointed it out that Oliver started to seriously reflect. He then realized that Olivia wasn't as innocent and well-behaved as they had thought. From the moment she arrived, she had deliberately gotten close to them, gradually taking the place of their real sister.When Lindsay returned to the Harper family, Olivia often played

    It took a good while for Edmund to regain his composure. He truly hadn't expected his fiancée to call off their engagement because of the online scandal.Seeing his state, Grace couldn't help but ask, "Who called?"Edmund didn't hide it. "Jeanie called. She wants to break off our engagement."Grace was stunned. "What? How could this happen? There aren't any intimate photos of you and Olivia online, are there?" That was her first thought.Edmund shook his head. "No."Grace was puzzled. "Then why does she want to break off the engagement?""It was Jeanie who took a liking to you first, and it was the Jeanie family who proposed the marriage." The two had been together for over two years, and both families had planned for their wedding next year. How could this happen now?Edmund was also confused. "She yelled at me because of the online scandal and then said she wanted to break off the engagement. But the online scandal has nothing to do with me!" The photos online only involved Oliver

    "Every time something happens, Olivia has to call my fiancé away. Anyone who didn’t know they're siblings would think they're lovers. And why is it that Lindsay never does this? When I had a stomachache, Lindsay even gave me some medicine. I get along well with Lindsay, but not with Olivia. Why? Isn't it because Olivia shamelessly treats my fiancé as her possession?"Talking about this made Jeanie angry.She had endured it twice before because she genuinely liked and saw potential in Edmund. After Lindsay was forced to leave the Harper family, Jeanie felt that Edmund and his brothers were too biased towards Olivia.She had even tried to persuade Edmund to recognize who his real sister was. Lindsay's personality was much more endearing than Olivia's.Jeanie got along well with Lindsay in private. But with Olivia, they were just incompatible.At first, because Edmund doted on Olivia so much, Jeanie tried to get along with her. But she soon realized Olivia was a perfect combination of a t

    After Jeanie finished speaking, she said farewell to Grace and hung up.Although she felt that Grace was somewhat clueless and favored her adopted daughter over her biological one, she still maintained her manners since Grace was an elder.While Jeanie was on the phone, her parents were beside her. Her mother, Marissa Moore, commented, "I never realized the Harper family was this chaotic before.""I don't believe for a second that Mrs. Harper is oblivious to everything," Jeanie complained. "Of course she knows. Otherwise, why would she let the adopted daughter drive away her biological one?""Lindsay has been so good to the Harper parents and brothers, but they don't appreciate it. They prefer Olivia, who talks a good game but does nothing substantial. All the Harper family's troubles are related to Olivia. That adopted daughter is toxic."Jeanie didn't just dislike Olivia; she loathed her. Seeing the photos and videos online only made her feel more disgusted.Marissa, who had met both

    Richard immediately understood Grace's thoughts. "What else? Your son is at fault for having an inappropriate relationship with his adopted sister. Let’s not ruin a good girl’s future. Tell Edmund that if he continues to act foolishly, his position as the heir is not guaranteed. My brother's third son has been performing quite well in the company, and my father thinks highly of him too."Richard wasn’t just trying to scare Grace and Edmund. In the Harper family, even though they would allocate resources and focus on grooming the designated heir, the future of the Harper Group was paramount. If the chosen heir proved incompetent, they would be replaced. Richard certainly hoped that his eldest son would eventually take over his position, but if Edmund continued on this path, he would have to make the painful decision to choose a different heir for the sake of the family's future. He planned to invest more time and effort into mentoring his nephew once he returned.Grace's expression

    Lindsay tagged Leslie, Wendy, and George in the group chat, asking if they wanted to come to their room to watch the fireworks show together. Elric even posted a photo of a table full of snacks, warmly inviting the three to join them.Without hesitation, Leslie, Wendy, and George agreed. They all headed to Elric's room, where he took a group photo and posted it in the chat.Olivia, Raymond, Alex, and Justin felt slighted. Raymond huffed. "What’s their deal? Inviting only the other group and ignoring us."He had no desire to push through the crowd to clock in. Watching the fireworks show from the room would allow them to clock in without squeezing through people and they could comfortably sit on the couch and enjoy snacks.Alex rolled his eyes. "You’re just noticing now? We were ignored in the first round too."Olivia sighed dramatically for the livestream. "They’ve always been a clique. Don’t expect an invitation, Ray."Justin glanced at Raymond. "Have some self-awareness." He then

    After sitting down at the bar, Elric took another photo and posted it in the group chat. He was deliberately trying to provoke the other group, knowing that Raymond's temper might lead him to follow them.The four of them had just pushed their way out of the crowd and were about to head back to the hotel when they saw Elric's bar photo. Feeling annoyed, Raymond suggested, "Let's go to a bar too."Alex asked, "You don't mean the same bar they're at, do you?"Raymond raised an eyebrow. "Why not? If they can go there, so can we."Alex sighed. "Do we even have enough money for that?"Seeing the name of the bar in Elric's photo, Olivia checked the app. "This bar isn't too expensive. As long as we don't order the fancy drinks, we have enough."Hoping her brother would take the opportunity to regain some dignity, Olivia supported the idea. Justin, wanting to see Lindsay, agreed, "Let's go then."Having no other choice, a reluctant Alex followed them. The bar was just a ten-minute cab ride a

    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
