The Fortune-Telling Heiress novel Chapter 401

"Consider? What else is there to consider?" asked BeefyBite's husband, suddenly exploding with anger. "It's precisely because you're such a cruel person that you invited malicious spirits into our home! Did you not see how pitiful that mother and child were?

"Any kind person would've agreed to sell the house to that woman, so why aren't your parents willing to? You're their only daughter, so all these assets will be yours in the end anyway! You're simply claiming them in advance. Have you never considered that this might be a form of retribution?"

BeefyBite looked at her suddenly angry husband, feeling incredibly startled.

"Honey, I really feel bad for you, and I'm worried about you," continued her husband. "The house isn't important to me at all. You're the one who matters to me—you and your safety. You don't know how anxious I felt when I heard you speaking about all this just now."

Just as he was in the middle of talking, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it, this late at night?"

BeefyBite stood up as she replied, "It should be my parents. I called to inform them of the situation. It's just as well, as we can take the opportunity to discuss the matter of the house with them."

When she opened the door, her parents looked her up and down.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" they asked worriedly.

There were two to three more young people at the door—BeefyBite's friends. They all gathered around her anxiously.

"What happened? How did you end up attracting malicious spirits?"

BeefyBite's husband poured everyone some water, his expression ugly.

"Why didn't you tell me that you invited your parents over?" he asked sourly. "And these friends of yours too."

BeefyBite clutched her husband's hand, replying, "It's Ms. Locke who told me to inform them."
