If Olivia decided not to participate, Raymond also planned to speak with the director about replacing her with another guest.

Alex couldn't help but say, "Then I might as well slack off too."

Without Raymond, facing Lindsay alone was awkward for him. Especially knowing Olivia wasn't as innocent and pure as she seemed, he felt guilty whenever he saw Lindsay.

Raymond could now fully empathize with Alex's feelings.

He patted Alex on the shoulder. "Let's just both slack off then, it might even save us from getting scolded.”

Lindsay had already given him a harsh scolding during this episode alone.

And even without watching, he could guess that his participation in this episode of the reality show had earned him plenty of criticism from the audience.

Whether it was getting called out over Hector or questioning Lindsay without knowing the full story, he found himself under fire.

He might have even lost some fans over it.

This time, he truly ended up on the losing side, upsetting everyone and

    Richard had just finished a meeting when his secretary informed him that his fourth son had gone sightseeing in the local area. He didn't suspect anything, knowing his son's restless nature. Shortly after, his phone rang with an unfamiliar domestic number. He picked it up and heard Alex's voice on the other end."Dad, are you free right now?" Richard was surprised. "Yes, I'm free. What's the matter?"Alex spoke with a tone of resignation, "Actually, there's a little issue. Well, Brandon just came to see Ray and me, asking us to help him take care of Via. But we're still live streaming our show, and there were some conflicts earlier, so it’s not really convenient for us to go. But Brandon kept insisting, so we had no choice but to turn to you."Then he deliberately added, "Didn’t you take Brandon on a work trip? How did he end up in Country S?"Richard's expression darkened instantly.He certainly hadn’t anticipated that Brandon’s so-called trip to relax would involve traveling all t

    She asked in a hurt tone, "Are they still not willing to forgive me?"Brandon sat down and said, "No, it's not that. One of them has a stomachache, and the other has a sore throat. They can't come today. They promised to come see you tomorrow."Only then did Olivia feel at ease. She leaned into Brandon's arms, hugging his waist tightly and nuzzling his shoulder. "Thank you, Brandon!"Brandon thought for a moment and said, "Ray will talk to the director tomorrow. I'll be the guest for the next episode of the live variety show."Olivia was taken aback. "Huh? Ray is switching out?"Her heart filled with more resentment. What did this mean? Did he not want to be on the show with her? How could a grown man be so petty?Brandon chuckled and said, "I was the one who suggested it. Neither Ray nor Alex can take good care of you, so I'm worried. That's why I asked him to talk to the director. Of course, if you decide not to participate in the next episode, then I won't either."These words moved

    After serving a tour group, Alex and his team received their translation fees. Alex asked Justin and Tracy, "Shall we call it a day and go for some afternoon tea?"Justin and Tracy were puzzled. "Afternoon tea?"Neither of them was particularly interested and prepared to decline. Alex playfully added, "I heard Lindsay and the others went to a specialty restaurant for afternoon tea, so we brothers thought we'd give it a try."Hearing Lindsay's name, Justin and Tracy immediately changed their minds. "Sure, let’s go check it out."Tracy smiled. "We can have a simple dinner and stay at the same hotel as last night. We have enough for afternoon tea."Justin said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."It was another day they hoped to see Lindsay.So, the four of them took a taxi to the restaurant.As they arrived downstairs, Brandon just entered the building upstairs. They saw Lindsay sitting and laughing together with others.Brandon, a renowned up-and-coming director, preferred not

    “Duh! Do you think I’d dare lie about Dad? And it’s not just Dad—Mom’s on her way too. She should be landing soon.”Grace had called Alex before boarding.Brandon’s expression shifted. “How did they know I was here?”He gave Alex a sharp look. “Did you rat me out?”Alex, standing firm, replied, “Of course not.”There was no way he would admit it.“Via ended up in the hospital, and you decide to go on a little vacation at just the right time. Did you really think Dad wouldn’t figure it out? He even guessed you’d come here to cause trouble for Lindsay. That’s why he told me and Ray to make sure we stopped you.”Brandon’s expression turned uneasy. “Dad really knows how to read minds.”He asked, “So what’s Mom doing here?”Alex responded, “She’s here to take Via home and care for her.”But the main reason was to drag Brandon back, though Alex didn’t mention that part.Brandon let out a breath. “Seems like Mom’s really care about Via.”Alex replied nonchalantly, “Obviously. She’s been takin

    Grace noticed Lindsay chatting happily with her companions, a radiant smile lighting up her face. It struck her that, in the year since Lindsay had returned home, she hadn’t seen her daughter smile this brightly even once. Grace couldn’t help but wonder if Lindsay had been unhappy at home all along.This was her biological daughter, her flesh and blood, whom she truly wanted to cherish and love. However, Olivia's manipulations and subtle hints had led Grace to mistakenly believe that Lindsay was unruly and troublesome. This made her think that teaching Lindsay a lesson would help her recognize her mistakes and change.When Lindsay first left home, Grace had assumed it was just a temper tantrum and that she would eventually come back. But now, she wasn't so sure. Since leaving, Lindsay shown no intention of returning home, and she had even gone out of her way to create tension with her brothers.Grace had watched quite a bit of this current live broadcast and realized that her daug

    Lindsay shook her head. "There’s nothing for us to talk about. If you have something to say, do it here. Otherwise, I’m going back to my room to rest."She had no interest in having a heart-to-heart with Grace. In her past life, she had hoped for such moments when she first returned home, but after repeated disappointments, she had long given up on that hope.Grace was momentarily stunned, clearly not expecting Lindsay to refuse. She frowned slightly. "I just wanted you to join me for dinner—is that too much to ask?"Lindsay gave her a half-smile. "Mrs. Harper, we’re not close enough to share a meal together, don’t you think?"Grace looked at her in disbelief. "But I’m your mother!"How could they not be close?Lindsay raised an eyebrow. "Haven’t we already severed ties? Are you so old that you've forgotten?"Grace flinched at the harshness of Lindsay’s words, feeling a pang in her chest. She took a deep breath. "There’s no lasting grudge between a mother and daughter. We were misled b

    When Lindsay first witnessed the Harper family's abundant affection for Olivia, she felt no pangs of jealousy or resentment. After all, caring for someone over the course of many years, even just a canine companion, would naturally cultivate profound emotions - how much more so for a fellow human being.When Lindsay returned to the Harper family, she was greeted with open arms. Richard wasted no time handing her a bank card, telling her to spend freely without restraint. And if the funds ever ran dry, she need only approach Grace or return to Richard for a refill.Grace, her eyes brimming with tears, clasped Lindsay's hand tenderly. She expressed how difficult these years must have been for her, but how overjoyed she was to have her back home again.Although the brothers weren't overly enthusiastic, they didn't treat her poorly initially. Even Brandon, who was the most distant, would at least greet her and say a few words. But it didn't take long before Olivia began to stir up troub

    "If they valued blood ties so much, why push away their own daughter in favor of an adopted one?" the assistant thought. "Now that they've realized there's a problem with the adopted daughter, they come running back to the biological one. Aren't they just asking for trouble? It's not like Lindsay owes them anything."Of course, he kept these thoughts to himself, merely an observer on the sidelines. Instead, he asked, "Ma'am, would you like to return to your room now or join the family for dinner?"Grace's expression darkened. "I’m not eating. I’m already full from the anger," she snapped.She was genuinely furious with her own daughter. Lindsay’s behavior was more like dealing with an enemy than her mother. Grace had come from a prestigious family and married into another; she had never been humiliated like this in her life. This was the first time someone had mocked her for being shameless, and that someone was her own daughter. The resentment churned in her, with no outlet for r

    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
