The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 306

Chapter 306 Trouble With the Family

But what exactly was going on with this dark energy?

There was no obvious cause–it seemed to have formed naturally.

Tad followed behind Scarlett and asked cautiously, “Scarlett, did you notice anything? It probably isn’t upstairs. The things I picked up over the past few days are all stored in the storage shed in the yard. Should we go take a look?”

Scarlett hadn’t sensed any object in the shed with heavy dark energy.

So the storage room definitely wasn’t the problem.

Looking at the dark energy lingering inside the villa, Scarlett suddenly thought of something.

She walked back out into the courtyard and looked at the faint dark energy that existed only around the Mack Residence. Yet none of it had clung to the neighbors–it had attached only to members of the Macks.

At last, Scarlett understood what was happening.

She said to Tad, “Tad, call your brothers and ask if they’ve also been having a run of bad luck lately.”

Tad froze, not quite understanding what Scarlett meant.

Scarlett said, “Call them first and ask. There’s nothing wrong with your villa itself, and there are no evil objects here. The dark energy here formed naturally in the environment. When that happens, it usually points to a more serious issue. That’s why you need to ask your brothers how they have been doing”

In other words, she wanted him to ask his two older brothers whether they had also been unlucky lately

Without hesitation, Tad dialed his eldest brother Darren.

The call connected quickly, and Darren’s voice came through. “Tad? Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen at home?”

Tad didn’t know how to explain, so he said, “Nothing really. Darren, how’ve you been lately? Everything alright?”

Darren said, “It’s been fine. Nothing wrong with work. Just… we’ve had a bit of bad luck lately. The whole family’s been running into little mishaps–bumps, bruises, minor injuries. Nothing serious, though.”

Hearing that, a chill ran down ‘Tad’s spine. He suddenly felt cold all over.

Why has Darren also been having bad luck recently?

Tad had put the call on speaker, so Scarlett heard everything too.

When there was a pause on the line, Darren quickly asked, “Tad, what’s going on? Did something happen at home recently?”

Tad stammered, “I–it’s the same here. Our whole family’s been unlucky lately too.”

On the other end, Darren fell silent, clearly confused about what Tad meant.

Finished

Scarlett spoke up, “Darren, this is Scarlett from the Sanchezes. I suspect there may be a problem with your family tomb. Right now, we need Tad to call Travis as well. If Travis has been experiencing the same bad luck as the two of you, then you’ll need to go check the family tomb.”

When an ancestral home suddenly becomes tainted with dark energy, and family members who don’t even live together all start having bad luck, it means the family’s fortune has begun to deteriorate.

In situations like this, the most likely cause is a problem with the family tomb.

Only a disturbance at the family tomb could affect the fortune of the entire family. Even people who married into the family could be affected, along with the younger generations of the Macks.

Like Priscilla, Shirley, and Bunny.

In other words, even if Shirley and Bunny never came back to the town, once the geomancy of the spirit residence grew worse, they would still be affected.

But the three Mack brothers would be the ones hit hardest.

Within three months at most, the geomancy of the spirit residence would be completely destroyed.

And the first to suffer would be the three Mack brothers.

At best, they’d be crippled. At worst, they’d lose their lives.

The family tomb was the spirit residence.

And the spirit residence corresponded directly with the living residence.

The Macks had lived here for generations.

This place was their ancestral home–their living residence.

If the spirit residence developed problems, the living residence would inevitably be affected as well.

But normally, even when issues occurred with a spirit residence, the consequences weren’t this severe.

Cases where the ancestral home itself suddenly accumulated dark energy like this were extremely rare

Most likely, someone had deliberately tampered with something.

Scarlett seemed to think of something and glanced back toward the direction of Brookriver.

Darren immediately said, “Alright. Hang up for now, I’ll call Travis and ask

After Darren hung up, Tad turned to Scarlett.

“S–Scarlett… you said there might be a problem with the family tomb? What exactly does that mean?”

Scarlett said, “It’s just a guess for now. Let’s wait until Darren talks to Travis before making any

conclusions.”

Tad nodded, his face heavy with worry.

He couldn’t understand how something could have gone wrong with their family tomb.

Dudley and Shirley were also anxious, glancing down at the baby in their arms.

About two or three minutes later, Darren called back.

Finished

“Tad, Darren said, “Travis is the same as us. The past few days, he’s had constant small injuries and a streak of bad luck.

“And not just him–your sisters–in–law and the kids too. Though theirs seem a little lighter, they’ve still had accidents nonstop. Your niece had an exam two days ago. The traffic was completely jammed on the way there, and she arrived late and missed the test.”

At the time, Darren hadn’t thought much of it and assumed it was just bad luck.

Only now did he realize the entire Macks had been unusually unlucky lately.
