“A few days ago, he clearly agreed to talk with me about a partnership. My new energy project has huge potential. But these past few days, whenever I try to reach him, it’s like he’s vanished.

He even blocked my number. What the hell is wrong with him? Is he screwing with me on purpose? Damn it–once I find someone else willing to work with me, once the government takes interest in my project, we’ll see if he regrets it.”

Matthew cursed himself, his face reddening.

Ever since he lost the opportunity to collaborate with the Quinns on the new energy project, he’d been running around everywhere looking for someone willing to discuss cooperation, bu he kept hitting walls.

All these people actually looked down on his proposal.

He’d finally found a coal mine owner who seemed interested in transitioning industries and had agreed to at least talk about working together.

And now, even that man had started ignoring him these past few days.

Hazel’s eyes flickered slightly as she listened.

A coal boss named Francis?

Could it be Aurora’s father?

That would actually make sense.

Aurora had been her biggest fan.

It’s all Scarlett’s fault! That bitch actually kept the recording of me complaining that Aurora’s gift was too cheap.

Once Aurora heard it, she completely turned on Hazel. Not only did she stop supporting her, but she even publicly criticized her.

After that, Hazel’s entire fanbase began abandoning her, cursing her online. That coal tycoon Matthew was talking about was probably Aurora’s father.

Hazel guessed that he must’ve known what happened between Aurora and Hazel.

That was probably why he refused to meet Matthew now.

But Hazel obviously didn’t dare tell Matthew any of that.

Back then, she had sided with Gemma and angered Zoey.

That alone had already destroyed her father’s chance to work with the Quinns.

Matthew hadn’t shown her the slightest mercy–he’d even slapped her across the face.

Hazel frowned at her father’s outburst.

But in the blink of an eye, her expression relaxed again.

Even though she’d lost Zayden and that bone relic that brought her good luck, she had gained a much greater fortune now.

Hazel glanced at her still–ranting father, then turned to look at her mother.

Leona gently shook her head at her.

A silent signal that she didn’t need to deal with him right now.

The mother and daughter simply let Matthew continue cursing downstairs while they got up and headed upstairs.

When they reached the study on the second floor, Leona asked, “Hazel, do you feel anything?”

“Mom, I feel like my luck’s gotten better again,” Hazel said happily. “Everything I do goes smoothly. There was a small test a couple of days ago, and the questions were exactly the ones I’d predicted earlier. I scored really well.”

If her fortune kept improving like this day by day, then when the college entrance exams came, she’d probably be able to guess the exam questions easily.

She hoped her final exam score would surpass Scarlett’s.

As for Scarlett getting a perfect score on the recent entrance exam, Hazel didn’t believe it at all.

Even if Scarlett had decent grades before, a perfect score is impossible.

Who knows what trick she used?

She’s skilled in the occult. Maybe she stole someone else’s fortune to strengthen her own luck–that would explain why she suddenly scored so high.

Leona patted Hazel on the shoulder. “The Macks may not have a destiny of great wealth or power, but their ancestors accumulated good karma. The fortune of their descendants is extremely good. They rarely suffer serious illness or disasters, and their lives pass peacefully and smoothly. Don’t underestimate that kind of destiny. If you can obtain that fortune, it

means everything will go your way. It’ll benefit you tremendously.”

Ever since Hazel had been beaten by Zayden–her face left partially disfigured and one eye blinded–Leona had been searching everywhere for treatment. She’d even contacted hospitals

overseas.

One highly respected ophthalmology hospital abroad had reviewed Hazel’s medical records and said surgery was possible.

But the success rate was extremely low–only about 10%.

Without surgery, Hazel’s eye would have no chance of recovery at all.

But a 10% success rate was simply too low.

That was why Leona wanted to increase Hazel’s fortune.

And recently, Hazel’s fortune had indeed been very weak.

After being beaten by Zayden and after her biggest fan publicly abandoned her, the rest of her fans had also begun leaving.

Fortune worked like a balance–when one side rose, the other fell.

She didn’t know whether it was because Hazel and Scarlett were sisters or because of the strange connection between them.

But recently, Scarlett’s fortune had been extremely strong.

And Hazel’s fortune had been steadily declining.

That was why she wanted to strengthen Hazel’s fortune again.

As for how she knew the Macks possessed such a destiny–naturally, it was the “Treasure Hunter” who told her.

Once, when she returned to her hometown with Matthew to visit the graves of Matthew’s parents, they had passed by the Macks‘ tomb.

The Treasure Hunter told her, “This family possesses great merit. Their ancestral burial ground is positioned perfectly, and combined with the good karma accumulated by their ancestors, their descendants will live smooth, peaceful lives for generations. This fortune could last 100 years.”

But something like an ancestral burial ground couldn’t be stolen easily. They couldn’t exactly dig up the Mack ancestors and bury their own family there.

And since that fortune came from the good karma accumulated by the Macks‘ ancestors themselves, she hadn’t thought much about it at the time.

But now that Hazel’s fortune had become so weak, she suddenly remembered the Macks‘ fortune again.

So she asked the Treasure Hunter if it was possible to obtain it.

The Treasure Hunter actually told her it was possible.

But it would require a sigil and an artifact.

So she exchanged for a sigil and an artifact from the Treasure Hunter.

The artifact was a dagger entirely black from tip to hilt, its material impossible to identify.

Just holding it made her feel a chilling cold seep through her body.
