Chapter 313 What Actually Happened

“Now that you mention it, that actually makes sense. Back then, Patrick only looked after him because he pitied him. After the divorce, Matthew got rich, but I never saw him repay Patrick for anything.”

“And that Leona’s no good either. I heard the Robinsons weren’t wealthy before. She only started living well after marrying Matthew. Looks like two rotten people found each other.”

“Heartless people…”

“Unbelievable. Stealing the fortune of our whole town…”

Sure enough, the townsfolk had already started blaming Matthew and Leona.

ett knew very clearly that this was most likely Leona’s doing.

like the time at the airport when she stole Zayden’s stuff.

Only that time, before Hazel could fully bind the object to herself, Zayden smashed the bracelet.

And after everything that happened to Hazel afterward–being beaten by Zayden, being turned on by her own fans–Hazel’s fortune had been sinking lower and lower.

So Leona could no longer sit still.

She chose the Macks, whose fortune in the town was exceptionally strong, to steal from.

It was clearly a carefully calculated decision.

First, they were familiar with the Macks.

Second, the Macks‘ fortune really was outstanding. In all of Brookriver, it would be hard to find another family with fortune like theirs.

A good fortune wasn’t necessarily about immense wealth or power.

It was about a life that flowed smoothly.

That was exactly the kind of fortune the Macks had–steady and smooth.

Their ancestors had accumulated good karma, protecting their descendants from serious illness or disaster and allowing their lives to pass peacefully.

Third, H

That made it much easier to obtain the Macks’s astrological chart.

That was why Leona and Hazel had chosen the Macks.

As for whether Matthew knew about it, Scarlett was certain he didn’t.

That man was the most selfish person she knew.

If there really were such a powerful fortune to claim, he’d keep it for himself–he wouldn’t even spare a thought for Hazel.

But Leona was different. She might be vicious, but everything she did was for her daughter.

Chapter 313 What Actually Happened

Quite a few townsfolk had actually seen Leona return to the town last week.

Tad was furious. All this time, he had believed Leona was a kind and charitable person.

Now, he realized she was nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

She had used her daughter to manipulate Jewel and trick her into revealing his parents‘ astrological chart.

Then she used this kind of dark spell to steal his family’s fortune.

She was vicious as hell.

Tad said sharply, “Dudley, call Jewel right now and tell her to come home. I want to ask her myself if she’s lost her mind!”

He was so angry that he almost wanted to beat his daughter. How could she trust people so blindly?

She was actually tricked into giving away her grandparents‘ astrological chart.

Didn’t she think it was strange that the Baileys would ask her for something like that?

Scarlett said, “Tad, I think there’s something unusual about Jewel as well. There’s no need to question her tonight. Tomorrow, when I return to Brookriver, I can go check on her.

“If they’re capable of using dark spells to steal your family’s fortune, they probably know other dark spells too. Possibly even ones that can control a person’s mind. So it would be safest for me to examine Jewel myself.

“And even if we confirm now that Jewel leaked the astrological chart, it won’t actually change anything.”

Because even if they knew Leona was responsible, even if they knew Hazel was the one stealing the Macks’s fortune, what difference would it make?

The deed had already been done.

Even though the ritual had now been broken.

Calling the police wouldn’t help either. Dark spells left almost no tangible evidence. They couldn’t prove anything just because the Macks had suddenly fallen on bad luck.

Even if someone had witnessed Leona burying the object in the Macks‘ tomb with their own eyes, it still wouldn’t count as legal evidence.

Something so intangible simply wasn’t recognized by the justice system.

When they reached the base, some people went home while others stayed behind chatting with neighbors.

News of Scarlett’s actions tonight would surely spread quickly through the town.

From this day forward, her reputation in the town would never be the same as before.
