The Fortune-Telling Heiress novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 

“A hundred thousand dollars?” Vander’s eyes widened. “How is that enough? I’ve looked into it before, and those in this industry charge way more than that.” 

He returned the bankbook to Madison. “I have money. You don’t have to worry about it.” 

Madison returned the bankbook to Vander. “The payment is to sever your connection to this situation. I’ll face consequences for revealing the secrets. You’re paying just so that the backlash won’t affect you.” 

When they heard that Madison would face consequences, both Vander’s and Evelyn’s expressions changed. 

“Will this backdash affect you? Will it harm you?” 

Madison shook her head. “For cultivators, this can also be an opportunity. So, you don’t need to give more. A hundred thousand dollars is enough.” 

Vander and Evelyn went silent. 

Owen, who was listening from the side, spoke up, “Let’s just go with what Ms. Locke says.” 

Vander pondered as he glanced at Madison, 

Before today, Vander had always thought Madison was just in it for the money. After all, there were rumors that she charged five million or even more for her services. 

Though seeing Madison now, it was clear that she wasn’t as the rumors suggested. 

Owen quickly transferred a hundred thousand dollars to Madison. 

Meanwhile, Evelyn and Madison started chatting about the car accident from two years ago. 

“During the car accident, I had a strange feeling. I remember feeling drowsy, and everything around me was shaking. When I woke up, I found myself in a cave.” 

Evelyn stated in disbelief, “What’s even weirder is that, despite being in an accident, I had no injuries.” 

Owen sat at the side, taking notes on their conversation. 

“Professor Bauman, you’re brimming with strong virtue and radiating a golden light. This signifies that you’ve saved many lives, resulting in massive good karma.” 

Owen stopped writing and said, “Professor Bauman used to work on alternative medicine research. She has developed quite a few life- saving medicines by Improving some of those ancient formulas.” 

Those medicines had saved countless lives. 

Evelyn looked confused. “But what does that have to do with my incident?” 

“It’s connected, you see. For those who practice cultivation, killing someone harms their virtue. Taking the life of someone with massive good karma brings even worse consequences.” 

“The other party could tell that you have great karma. So, they didn’t dare to harm you so brazenly. Instead, they used a method to change your fate. 

“They swapped your body with someone else’s, and the chosen body was most likely that of a ruthless criminal. Then, they moved you to a cave, intending for you to perish on your own. This is a very clever method that defies fate. 

“If you did die, it would’ve had nothing to do with them. It would’ve appeared as though you died from an infection.” 

When Madison finished her words, Vander’s expression changed. 

Evelyn’s complexion didn’t look well either. 

Owen twirled his pen and asked, “Professor Bauman, you mentioned that one can survive in that cave. Do you think that they had thought about that?”
