When Sarina collapsed, coughing up blood, Steven couldn’t hide his disgust, but he still arranged for someone to take her to the nearest hospital.

Feeling the judgmental and mocking eyes from the people around him, he was deeply embarrassed.

But he couldn’t just leave.

Because of Sarina’s failure, the company had lost billions.

The bigger issue was that not a single gemstone had been uncovered, which would severely impact the company’s plans for the next year.

Without any gemstones, how could they produce the high-end jewelry they were known for?

He had no choice but to request more funds from the main office to purchase gemstones that others had uncovered.

However, there were few sellers offering top-quality gemstones, and those who did had prices far beyond their expectations.

Reluctantly, Steven had to give up.

The company’s cash flow was already strained after losing billions, and his attempts to buy gemstones were yielding poor results.

His resentment toward Sarina reached

    Lindsay nodded. "Yes, starting today, her luck will only get worse. Borrowing fortune comes with a heavy price, and when it's time to repay, it’s always brutal. But she doesn’t deserve any sympathy—it’s her own doing, and now she’s facing the consequences."Howard felt relieved by Lindsay’s words, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Looks like it’s the perfect time to kick someone while they’re down."Sarina had nearly caused his brother’s death, and he couldn’t let that go without some personal payback.Lindsay added, "Not only can you take advantage of her downfall, but Fox Gemworks is also in a vulnerable spot. With Sarina’s loss of gemstone betting abilities, they’ll scramble to acquire more gemstones, and the only way left for her will be to seize power."When she goes back, there’s bound to be infighting between her and the Fox family. You could stir things up, causing Sarina and the Fox family to tear each other apart."She continued, "Fox Gemworks has grown into what it is to

    The next day, Lindsay and her group left the hotel to retrieve the gemstones from the auction. The bodyguards, who had been watching over the safes, reported that something strange had happened overnight.They heard odd noises throughout the night and took turns checking outside, but each time they found nothing. When they returned, they noticed footprints around the safes containing the gemstones. Even more unsettling, the protective talismans Lindsay had placed on the safes spontaneously combusted, startling them. However, once the talismans burned, everything returned to normal.Howard sighed with relief after hearing the report. Looking at Lindsay, he said, "It’s a good thing you thought ahead and placed those talismans on the safes. Otherwise, who knows if our gemstones would still be here."He suspected that Sarina had once again hired a mystic to cause trouble.Lindsay smiled calmly. "Better safe than sorry. Let me draw a few more talismans and stick them on before we trans

    The gemstones from Fox Gemworks were part of their high-end luxury line, typically endorsed by A-list or super-popular celebrities. Securing a spokesperson position with them was highly coveted, with even award-winning actors competing for the spot. For Lindsay, getting such a high-end jewelry endorsement at the start of her career was a huge boost for her status in the entertainment industry.After agreeing to discuss the details later, Elric drove Lindsay home. Not long after she got back, she received a call from Albert.“Miss Lindsay, you and Elric were spotted leaving the airport together, and someone snapped photos. They've been posted online.”He continued, “There’s already some buzz, with people suggesting you two are dating and that this trip was a romantic getaway. I expect the rumors about your relationship will trend soon.”Then he asked, “Do you want to issue a clarification or have the team manage the narrative?”Despite wearing masks and hats when they left the airport

    Oliver immediately distanced himself from Justin, throwing him a wary look. “You’re not seriously asking me to break them up, are you? That’s more Joey’s thing. Go ask him.”Though it was about his friend’s happiness, Oliver had no desire to get tangled up in a mess involving Lindsay.Nearby, Joey choked on his drink, spitting it out in surprise. He shot Oliver a glare. “What kind of crap are you talking about? Do I look like that kind of scheming guy?”Turning to Justin, he added, “Justin, I’m not doing anything shady like that.”Justin gave them both a look of disbelief. “What are you guys even talking about?”With a hint of annoyance, he said, “I just wanted Oliver to check where Lindsay and Elric went before the rumors started. And if there were other people with them, we could get a few photos out there to clear things up. If her team won’t step up, I’ll do it myself.”The idea of Lindsay being romantically involved with anyone, especially Elric, was something he couldn’t accept.

    Oliver sighed and continued, "I called him, and he said that after taking my talisman, he doesn’t feel as unlucky anymore, so he’s not giving it back. What can I do? I’ll have to go to Lindsay and buy another one."Joey shook his head with a half-smile. "Man, you’re really being played for a fool. Having a brother that dumb is its own kind of bad luck."Justin, hearing their conversation, quickly chimed in with a suggestion. "Why don’t you contact Lindsay now and get a new one?"Oliver raised an eyebrow. "What are you scheming this time, Justin? She just got back from a trip. She’s probably tired, and it wouldn’t be right for me to bother her right now."Joey scoffed. "Stop flattering yourself. Do you really think Lindsay sees you as her brother? You’re just scared she’ll get annoyed and won’t deal with you."Oliver glared at him. "Can’t you keep quiet about things people prefer not to hear?"Joey shrugged. "I’m just being honest, you know how I am."Then, he turned to Justin. "You’re

    Joey and Justin both glanced down at the group messages. After reading Lindsay’s reply, they couldn’t help but exchange looks of sympathy with Oliver.Joey shook his head and said, "Oliver, Brandon’s a pro at messing with you, huh? Your first talisman got ruined because of Olivia, and now your second one’s been swiped by your own brother before you even got to use it."Oliver’s expression darkened. "That idiot’s been screwing me over for ages. Last time, he stole my prayer charm, and now he’s taken my talisman."Frustrated, he added, "Just today, someone slammed on their brakes in front of me, and I ended up rear-ending them. The guy was a nightmare to deal with. I had to pay up, and it wasted my entire afternoon."Then, everywhere I drove, I hit traffic. And when I finally got out of the car, someone bumped into me, and I fell flat on my face. I thought I was just having a bad day, but it turns out I’ve been taking the hit for my brother’s bad luck."Joey tried to suppress his laught

    Otherwise, a regular protection charm wouldn’t need to introduce energy.Oliver texted, "I definitely won't let anyone steal it again."This was four million dollars, after all. If Brandon dared to reach out for it again, Oliver would beat him senseless."I'll come find you tomorrow."Lindsay replied, “Alright."Seeing that their chat was coming to an end, Justin immediately signaled Oliver with his eyes.Oliver was speechless.After thinking for a moment, he asked on Justin's behalf."Lindsay, I just saw the trending news. It’s rumored that you're dating Elric. Are you two together?"Lindsay didn't expect Oliver to ask that."What business is it of yours whether we are or aren’t? Instead of being nosy, maybe you should worry about whether you’ll have bad luck tonight."Knowing Oliver’s personality, he probably didn’t care who she was with. It was likely Justin had egged him on to ask. Lindsay couldn’t be bothered with them.Seeing her reply, Oliver was momentarily speechless and aske

    Oliver's words made Justin's expression change. He suddenly fell silent and downed a few more glasses of wine. Joey spoke up, "Back then, Justin took Lindsay's love for granted, thinking he could do whatever he wanted without consequence. He was convinced that no matter what, she’d always be that childhood friend who wouldn’t leave him. So, he kept pushing the boundaries."But who knew she had a temper too? When she said she didn't love him, she meant it. When she decided to walk away, she didn't look back. And Justin? He was left standing there, dumbfounded. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late."With every word Joey said, Justin's face grew paler.Oliver nodded in agreement. "Exactly. I always thought of Lindsay as our little sister. No matter what happened, I believed blood ties couldn’t be broken. She was always so good to us, so thoughtful when it came to the family, and I just assumed she’d never hold a grudge. I mean, what family can’t get through hard times to

    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
