Chapter 401 It Ran In The Family “It doesn’t work that way.” Grace looked away embarrassed. “I tried tearing it off by force. That’s why there’s blood on my chest.”

Lilly looked at the talisman, lost in her thoughts. She didn’t want to hurt Grace but letting the talisman.

stay would pose a greater threat to Grace.

“Do you need my help, Lilly?” Blake tried to support his kid.

“You won’t be able to help, Dad.”

Pablo decided to speak up. “This talisman latches onto her flesh. It’s very difficult to remove it. First, your have to…”

Lilly grabbed one corner of the talisman and yanked it.

“I got it!” exclaimed Lilly. The bloodied talisman wriggled in her hands. “Then I seal it. Is that right, Master Pablo?”

Pablo was too stunned to speak.

Lilly turned to Blake. “Dad, quick! Give me a cup.”

Blake found a cup from a nearby table and trapped the talisman in it. Lilly then covered the brim with her hands. Pablo screamed. He incanted a spell and placed magical seal on the cup.

“Lilly!” Pablo bellowed. “Do not handle dangerous talismans with your bare hands! It’s dangerous.”-

“Sorry, Master Pablo,” said Lilly in an apologetic tone. Pablo rolled his eyes. He didn’t know if Lilly was brave or reckless.

“Anyway,” Lilly turned to Grace. “Please continue sobbing. My master said the more you cried, the better!

fate would be. Go on now. Cry.”

your When the paramedics arrived, they were greeted with an eerie scene. A girl was trying to force another girl to cry. It was puzzling, to say the least. Despite everyone’s best efforts to persuade Grace to go to a hospital, Grace wouldn’t relent. The paramedics only patched Grace up and the Crawfords decided to let Grace stay with them for the time being.

Bettany was making her afternoon tea. She grumbled te Hugh, “It’s all thanks to Blake that a fine lady like Lilly becomes so belligerent now.”

“It’s not a bad thing. At least she can fend for herself.”

“Who would bully her? She’s one of the Crawfords.”

“It’s not who. But what.”

Shortly after, the roaring of a sports car engine came through the window. Blake and his daughter came back. As usual, he parked his car in a sharp swerve. Like they did in the movie. Due to the inertia, Grace’s face was plastered against the car window.

Lilly was enjoying the ride. But she recalled that Grace was still injured. “Wait, Gracie. Are you all right?”

Blake overheard it and was mortified. He quickly alighted from the car and opened the door to Grace.

“Are you all right? I’m sorry. I got carried away.”

“It’s okay,” Grace winced.

“This is…” Bettany saw an unfamiliar face in her front yard. Did Blake kidnap another kid?

“It’s Gracie. I mean Grace,” explained Lilly.

Noticing her mother’s confusion, Blake provided some additional information. “She is the younger sister. of Jonas’s colleague.”

“Jonas’s colleague… Quinnie? She’s the younger sister of Quinnic?”

“Bingo! You’re a genius, Granny.”

Bettany was proud of herself. “Well, of course, I am Botany, of the Levine family.”

Watching on the sideline, Pablo was left speechless. It seemed like narcissism ran in the family.

Meanwhile, Maryn was doing inventory half-heartedly in a luxury goods store. Why hadn’t Bryson called her? She did attach the love talisman to his back. Was h busy? Although she was supposed to look at the list of merchandise in her hands, her eyes always turned to the shop entrance. She wouldn’t want to miss out when that sexy hunk of a pilot came in and asked for her.

“Ms. Kamily, someone is looking for you.”

“Coming!”

Oh, yes! Her moment had arrived.
