Chapter 312 Suspicious
They hadn’t even reached home yet when, about ten minutes later, Darren called back.
Tad immediately answered. Knowing everyone was curious about whose astrological chart it was, he turned on the speaker.
Darren’s voice came through the phone. “Tad, I checked the astrological chart. In Brookriver, there were 129 people born on that day.”
In other words, based on the birth date recorded on that astrological chart, a total of 129 people had been born that day.
Tad immediately asked, “Darren, among those 129 people, is there anyone familiar with the Macks?”
“Yes…” Darren’s voice sounded heavy, and there was a hint of anger in it. “There’s one person among them we all know.”
“Darren, who is it?”
“It’s Hazel. That birth date is Hazel’s birthday.”
Tad froze. “Hazel? Matthew and Leona’s daughter?”
Almost instinctively, he glanced at Scarlett.
Technically speaking, Hazel could even be considered Scarlett’s stepsister.
As for why people mentioned Leona so often, it was because she had an excellent reputation in the town.
After Matthew married Leona and made his fortune, they not only helped fund the construction of new roads in the town, but Leona also sponsored several poor students and elderly townsfolk living alone.
Earlier that night, Mildred had gone to the Sanchez Residence to make a scene precisely because Leona had cut off the financial aid she’d been giving Luke,
Tad never expected that this matter would somehow end up involving the Baileys and Leona again.
Darren said, “Yes, Matthew and Leona’s daughter. I also called the hospital where Hazel was born and checked the exact birth time recorded there. Her birth time matches the time written on the chart
“This astrological chart can basically be confirmed as Hazel’s chart. That means the fortune of the Macks would ultimately be transferred onto her…”
While investigating, Darren had also taken the opportunity to look up Hazel’s recent situation online.
He saw all the public drama between Scarlett and Hazel that had blown up on the internet.
He also saw what had happened between Zayden and Hazel.
Online rumors claimed that Zayden had violently attacked Hazel because she had stolen his fortune.

After that, Hazel’s luck seemed to completely collapse.
She was beaten so badly her face was disfigured, and her sight was damaged.
So this isn’t the first time Hazel has stolen someone’s fortune?
Finished
Darren didn’t believe an 18–year–old girl could possibly have the ability to obtain something as evil as that dagger and those sigils.
Which meant Matthew and Leona must’ve been behind it.
They really did love their daughter.
In order to improve Hazel’s luck, they had gone this far.
Destroying the fortune of the Macks without caring whether the Macks lived or died–if it had succeeded. the entire family would’ve eventually collapsed and ended in ruin.
That alone showed how vicious they were.
On the narrow dirt path in the darkness, the beams of several flashlights cut through the night, but the surroundings still felt dim and unsettling.
After hearing Darren’s words, everyone felt a chill run through their hearts, along with deep disbelief.
“So the Baileys were trying to steal the Macks‘ fortune?”
“It’s Hazel, isn’t it? Didn’t Darren say the astrological chart belongs to her? If the Macks started having accidents one after another, their remaining fortune would gradually transfer to her.”
“The Baileys are already so rich–why would they still want the Macks‘ fortune?”
“My youngest son mentioned something about Hazel before. Isn’t she a celebrity? I heard she’s been in trouble lately–lots of scandals. Someone even beat her up. And her face even got disfigured! Fans have been cursing her online too. Seems like her luck has completely turned bad. Maybe her own fortune went wrong, so she wanted to steal someone else’s.”
“Whatever happened to her is her own fate. Why should she get to steal someone else’s fortune?”
“So who did it exactly–Matthew or Leona? I can’t believe they’re willing to commit something this evil for their daughter.”
“What difference does it make who did it? The fortune was stolen for their daughter anyway
“You know, Matthew used to be dirt poor. After he divorced Scarlett’s mom and married Leona, his luck suddenly kept getting better and better.
“I heard that when he went back to his old house, he found some antiques worth over ten million. Then he started doing business and got rich. That kind of luck isn’t normal. Could it be he stole the fortune of our whole town?”
With an example like this right in front of them, the townsfolk naturally felt that Matthew’s sudden rise to wealth had too much luck involved to be a coincidence,

They began to believe that Matthew and Leona must’ve stolen the townsfolk‘ fortune as well, which explained why their luck had been so incredible and how they had built their fortune.
After all, back in the day, most townsfolk hadn’t treated Matthew well at all. The only family that had been kind to him was the Sanchezes.
Now that Matthew had become rich, instead of repaying the Sanchezes, he had been generous to the
entire town.
Wasn’t that suspicious?
Someone muttered, “That old Bailey house was practically falling apart. What kind of antiques could Dossibly have been inside? Who knows where he really got those two antiques from?”
I’m telling you, he must’ve stolen the fortune of our town. That’s how he got lucky enough to find those intiques and slowly build his wealth. And the reason his business kept going so smoothly afterward- naybe that’s because he took our town’s fortune too. Otherwise, why would he treat our town so well now? Back then, nobody here cared about him.”
