Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 393

Larissa failed to escape because Wendy held her still and quickly pulled her into a chair opposite Barbara. A small, round table separated them, adorned only by a candelabra bearing a lit candle and a thick stack of tarot cards. "This is my best friend, Larissa." Wendy made the introductions.

"Nice to meet you, Larissa," said Barbara faintly.

Every time she spoke, a chill would go through Larissa. "Hi," said Larissa while forcing a smile.

Barbara picked up the tarot cards. In the dim candlelight, Larissa saw that Barbara's hands were completely tattooed in weird pictures or, to be more accurate, symbols.

"What would you like to ask?" asked Barbara. Wendy answered in Larissa's stead, "She came here from Caldor recently, wanting to forget the past and start a new life. Can you help predict if her new life will go smoothly?"

"Okay." Barbara nodded and spread the tarot cards across the table, gesturing for Larissa to pick out five cards.

Larissa didn't believe in the divine at all. Her sole focus was on complying as quickly as possible in order to make her exit. She picked out five cards randomly.
