Chapter 107 Too Late

Steven had been contemplating how to approach Simone and reach out to her proactively. Upon

hearing his old friend’s words, he smiled. “Of course, that’s not a problem. I’m just unsure about her

proficiency in geomancy. Please don’t blame her if she’s not too accurate.”

His daughter was adopted by a geomancy master and had been learning these skills since she was

young. She even pursued a related major in college. However, from what he understood, a young

geomancy practitioner like her would only have average skills. When his daughter first came to their

home, she got along well with her brothers. He heard that his eldest son had asked Simone to help with

geomancy in the entertainment company’s office. Before his fourth son started filming a drama, he had

also asked Simone’s help to determine an auspicious time. Steven never inquired about the results.

Donovan smiled. “You’re being modest. Simone participated in a live broadcast of a variety show, and

she could tell that one of the villagers sons was in danger just by reading the

that villager’s face. She jumped into the water and rescued the son. Later, she noticed. another

person’s child was having issues because of the bracelet they were wearing, and after handling it, the

child’s issues were resolved. Judging by her performance, her skills are definitely not mediocre.”

“Haven’t you asked her for help?” Donovan asked. Steven had been busy before and hadn’t made time

to watch that variety show. So, he really didn’t know about this. “She helped me with geomancy and

auspicious times for my two sons, but she hasn’t helped us with face reading, so I don’t know much

about it,” Steven explained.

Donovan had great faith in geomancy. He had only started paying more attention to Simone after he

heard another geomancy practitioner praising Simone’s face reading skills.

“She has three taboos, so she can’t help you with face reading,” Donovan explained. Steven. also

believed in geomancy, but he didn’t know about this. “The three taboos?” “They are not able to read the

faces of relatives, politicians, or themselves,” Donovan elaborated. “Geomancy practitioners are unable

to read the faces of their relatives or themselves, as it is said to be concealed by some divine secret.

But this is expected. Otherwise, they would simply be too powerful. It would be chaotic if all that

geomancy practitioners did were to constantly help themselves and their family members avoid

misfortune and disasters while seizing or occupying good fortune. But it’s not a problem to help

relatives and oneself with auspicious times and geomancy arrangements.”

“I understand,” Steven said after listening to Donovan’s words. “I’ll ask her when she’s available, then.”

Steven took out his phone and dialed Simone’s number several times in at row. However, it was either

that her line was busy all the time or that her phone was turned off. Steven had another suspicion, but

he thought it was impossible. He pondered for a moment and found Simone on the app that they used

to chat.

He sent her a message, but he was then notified that they were no longer friends. This

confirmed Steven’s previous suspicion. He couldn’t believe it. Not only had his daughter blocked his

phone number, but she had also deleted him as a friend on the

friend on the app. This realization made Steven’s expression turn sour

Mr. Gulls noticed this. “What’s wrong?” he asked Steven relaxed his expression into a smile. “Her

phone is turned off. She’s probably busy. How about I arrange a time for us to talk about geomancy

once I get ahold of her?”

Mr. Gulls didn’t think much of it “Sure.” After Mr. Gulls left. Steven called in an assistant to borrow their

phone. Then, he called Simone. Samone saw an unfamiliar number, and she didn’t know who was

calling

She answered. “Hello”

“Simone, it’s me.” Simone naturally recognized Steven’s voice and was somewhat surprised Why is he

calling me? It can’t postbly he about Some No. 2, right? Koting Steven’s personality, he doesn’t seem

like the type to help Sembag No 2 scale When she was in the Gray Family, Steven was often busy and

not at home, and he didn’t pay much attention to household matters. He wasn’t hiased towards Jodie

the way other people were

But he didn’t show much concern for her either. After taking her home, he gave her a card and didn’t

bother much about her after that. So their father–daughter bond was very weak The day she left,

Steven believed what Salma and his few sons said. He assumed that she w always causing trouble,

and he was unhappy about it What he wanted most was a harmonious family. But since his daughter

was using chaos in the family, he allowed his sons to teach her a lesson and make her obedient. He

didn’t investigate whether what those people said was true,

Perhaps there was a difference between blood relatives and non–blood relatives. Naturally, he didn’t

have the same closeness with his daughter, who had only been brought for a little over a year, as he

did with his wife and sons. The day that she decided to leave the Gray Family, she treated them all as

strangers. She didn’t even think about demanding his fatherly love or anything, nor did she need it.

“Who are you?” she asked.

Steven frowned. I’m your dad.”

“I don’t have a dad. I cut off all ties with everyone from the Gray Family a long time ago, Simone

replied. Steven didn’t expect Simone to say that. She actually wants to cut ties, he thought. And from

her tone, he could tell she was serious. He sighed. “Simone, are you still holding grudges after so

long?”

“Nothing matters anymore. I don’t hold grudges she told him. “If there’s nothing else you have to say,

then I’m hanging up.

I contacted you today because there is something I want to say, Steven uttered hurriedly “1 have an old

friend who wants to ask for your help with geomancy. When do you have the time for this? Let’s make

an appointment. He didn’t mention family matters again, as he was

2/3

afraid that Simone would really hang up. He wanted to use Mr. Gulls‘ matter as an opportunity to mend

the relationship with his daughter.

However, Simone decisively refused his request. No, I don’t want to have any involvement with the

Gray Family or anyone associated with them. So, you can tell your friend to find. another geomancer.

The Gray Family members couldn’t just reach out to her whenever they wished to. Once she said she

was cutting ties, she was insistent on not getting involved with them again. Does Steven think that I’m

going to listen to him just because of his single phone call? What a joke.

Steven was taken aback by Simone’s immediate refusal. “Why are you so stubborn, child? There’s no

long–standing grudge among us family members. There must have been some misunderstanding

before. Why don’t we set a date to gather and have a meaningful conversation? If your brothers have

any concerns, I will address them.”

Steven had heard about the situation between Simone and Titus. It was Titus who had been too harsh

in his treatment of his sister. On this matter, Steven didn’t support Titus. Regardless, Simone was his

biological daughter Steven didn’t want Simone to wander out without any support. However, he never

expected Simone to have such a strong temper. Not only did she express her desire to sever ties

verbally, but she also wanted to distance herself from them in her actions.

Simone sneered. “We have no relationship now. If you think that they are the ones with issues, you’d

discipline them first. It’s too late, Mr. Gray! I don’t want to have any further ties with you, so there’s no

need to have a meal or a chat. Don’t contact me again in the future. I’m hanging up!” And she indeed

hung up after saying that.
