Chapter 361 The Show Is About To Begin

Hospital.

After Andrew’s dizziness subsided, he suddenly felt much better in spirit.

He no longer felt like something was missing; that feeling was gone.

Unable to resist, he asked, “Master Shawn, has my luck returned?”

Bailey replied, “Half of it has returned; the rest has been taken by Jodie.”

He added, “Although you will still experience some bad luck, it won’t be as severe or frequent as

before.”

Andrew was taken aback and hesitated. “So, you mean that only half the luck I gave away has

returned, and the rest will never come back?”

Bailey looked at him coldly and said, “Are you not satisfied? This curse has been lifted; she won’t be

able to take away your luck anymore.”

Andrew shivered under his gaze and immediately explained, “You’ve misunderstood, Master Shawn. Of

course, I am not dissatisfied. I was just asking.”

Initially, when he heard that only half of his luck had returned, he felt a bit uneasy, but after he heard

what the other party said, he had no more doubts.

He had personally experienced now how much a powerful geomancer could do.

He didn’t dare to offend Bailey anymore, not even Simone.

He knew that his younger sister was different.

She had shown him some mercy before.

Otherwise, if she had used this mysterious and unfathomable thing against him, he would have been in

a miserable state.

Now that he compared himself to the past, he realized how foolish he had been.

He couldn’t distinguish who was truly good and who was fake.

He consoled himself that it was good enough to have half of his luck back and not be as unlucky as

before.

In the future, he would definitely stay far away from Jodie.

This lesson was too painful.

He looked at Simone and gently said, “When are you going back to Cebros? Why don’t we go

together?” Simone was a bit puzzled by Andrew suddenly trying to be friendly.

Had this guy lost his mind again?

She coldly replied, “There’s no need for that.”

Andrew felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on him when he saw her cold attitude.

It was so difficult to improve their relationship! Steven actually wanted to ask Simone if she wanted to

go back to Cebros together as well, but when he saw his son being defeated, he swallowed his words.

Simone packed up everything she had prepared earlier and put it in a garbage bag.

She was ready to dispose of it later.

It was better not to leave these things in the hands of others.

After she tidied up, she said to Bailey, “Bailey, let’s go back to Cubilis.”

Bailey stood up and said, “Alright!”

He didn’t mention anything about payment, but if the Gray Family dared not to pay, he had ways to deal

with them.

Steven and Aaron also stood up, ready to send the two of them back to Cubilis.

Suddenly, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Salma and Melinda walked in together.

When Melinda saw Simone, her smiling face instantly turned cold, and she even let out a disdainful

snort.

She looked at Bailey with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

Startled by Bailey’s cold gaze, she was taken aback.

She found that this person looked like an immortal, but he gave her a sense of fear and something

eerie.

However, she had been instructed by her lover to find out about him.

Salma saw Simone and Bailey and paused for a moment before she asked, “What are you

doing here?”

Simone hadn’t spoken yet, but Steven spoke first and said, “I invited them.”

He looked displeased at his wife and asked, “Do you have a problem with that?”

Salma felt a bit wronged and said, “I was just asking. Why are you being so hostile?”

Steven frowned. “It’s all because of you; the way you behave as a mother is unacceptable.”

Salma’s face darkened. “How am I unacceptable?

Simone couldn’t be bothered with their drama and said, “Mr. Steven, I’ll leave with Bailey first.”

However, Steven said, “I’ll send you back.”

He walked to the door and insisted on seeing them off.

Simone’s nose twitched as she caught a scent and glanced at Salma and Melinda.

With a thought, she didn’t refuse Steven and said, “Alright.”

Together with Bailey, they ignored Salma and Melinda and left directly.

Before she left, her fingertips moved.

A strand of negative energy infiltrated Melinda.

The door of the ward closed.

Melinda sneered at Salma and said, “Your daughter is even worse than mine. Is it too much to greet

your own mother?”

This remark successfully changed Salma’s expression.

Aaron was speechless; he now had a strong aversion to Leon’s mother.

She was clearly provoking the relationship between his mother and Simone. He said, “Simone has

already cut ties with us a long time ago, so it’s not necessary for strangers to greet each other, right?

Mrs. Foster, just take care of your own family affairs.”

Melinda didn’t expect the fifth son of the Gray Family to retort, and her expression became even worse.

She looked at Salma and said, “Your son doesn’t welcome me. Should I still visit?”

Salma couldn’t figure out the situation and said to Aaron, “You’re being rude; so, where are your

manners?” This son was also being foolish as he actually exposed her flaws in front of

her friend.

She added, “Apologize to your Aunt Melinda quickly.”

Aaron rolled his eyes and said, “I was just stating the facts. I’m going to find my dad.”

With that, he opened the door and slipped out.

She saw that Aaron did not give his own mother any reputation when he ran away directly.

Salma was furious. All these people were being influenced by Simone.

She apologized to Melinda and said, “I’m sorry; this child has been conflicting with me lately.”

Melinda responded generously, “It’s okay; my two children are also quite mischievous.”

After they sat for a while, she bid farewell.

On the way back to Cubilis, Simone said to Steven, “Has Mrs. Gray’s emotions been unstable

recently?”

Steven was initially stunned, but then he came around to his senses. “Yes, she doesn’t listen to what

we say, but she strongly believes in Melinda.”

“Have you noticed anything?” He knew that his wife’s temper was not very good, but she wasn’t as

stubborn and unreasonable as she is now.

Simone nodded. “I noticed that Melinda has a special fragrance on her body. This fragrance doesn’t

harm her, but it affects the people who often come into contact with her. It amplifies the emotions in

their hearts, so even a small matter becomes an insurmountable obstacle.”

She had noticed that Salma had been increasingly hostile towards her and even hated her.

She sensed that Salma’s emotions were abnormal.

She didn’t detect any evil or curses as she used her intuition, but today, when she saw Melinda, she

immediately understood.

It turned out that every time Melinda and Salma interacted, she intentionally wore this fragrance.

This caused Salma to become more emotional.

Melinda often whispered negative things about herself in Salma’s ear, which fueled Salma’s prejudice

against her.

Of course, Salma was not innocent either.

4/5

This fragrance only amplifies the emotions already present in one’s heart, but it doesn’t create them out

of thin air.

It represented Salma’s true anger and dissatisfaction toward her.

The reason she warned Steven was also to let Salma know about this and develop a similar aversion

to Melinda.

Given Salma’s personality and her current emotional state, she would definitely confront Melinda.

Before they left, she left some negative energy on Melinda, which would intensify her emotions.

If Salma confronted her, Melinda wouldn’t be able to control her emotions and would speak her mind.

If they argued and attacked each other, it would save her the trouble.

Salma loved to blame others for everything and always sought reasons from other people. She would

definitely seek revenge once she realized she was being manipulated by Melinda.

The most likely outcome was that she would interfere in the Steward Family’s affairs.

This way, she would also touch a nerve with Melinda and provoke a counterattack.

With the tension building, the show was about to begin.
