Chandler hummed slightly before he said seriously, "It is time for her to stop. Otherwise, it will be a fatal attraction, and she will be the one getting hurt in the end.” 4
Jefferson thanked him repeatedly before he hung up the phone in a hurry. After that, he made a video call t o Sophie.
The reason why he was video calling Sophie directly was because he knew that when she answered the video call, she would certainly be using the speaker by default. In that case, not only would Sophie be able to hear what he had to say, but his daughter, Helen, and his grandson, Jaime, would also be able to hear it. 4
What Jefferson feared was that Sophie would not believe in divination and fortune-telling. If he were to tell her that there were tigers in the mountain, she would probably not retreat, but instead, she would head up to the mountain base. 3
Therefore, he wanted to solemnly inform her about this matter in front of Helen. That way, even if he could not persuade her, Helen and Jaime might still b e able to persuade her.
It was dinner time, and Sophie was indeed having dinner with her mother and brother at this time.
When she received a video call from her grandfather, Sophie was initially very delighted because she thought that he would already have a result from the divination. So, she answered his video call immediately. 7
As soon as the video was connected, Jefferson smiled before he asked, "Sophie, what are you doing?"
Sophie hurriedly said, "I am about to eat dinner now, Grandpa. How about you?"
Jefferson smiled before he said, "I have already finished eating dinner."
After he was done speaking, Jefferson immediately asked, "Where are your mother and brother?" 1
Sophie immediately switched the camera view on her cell phone so that she could show her grandfather the image of her mother and brother as she said, "Mom and Brother are here with me too. By the way, Grandpa, have you already asked the master for help i n the divination?" 3
Jefferson nodded before he said, "I did."
Sophie blurted out, "Mom, don’t you think that I am simply stating the truth? If that Old Master Lennard can find a clue, he could say that he found a clue. If he cannot find any clues, he could simply say that he cannot find a clue, then! Why does he need to make up excuses such as having a lower fate than the other party just to hide his own incompetence?"
At this time, Jaime, who was sitting aside, opened his mouth and said, "Sophie, don't be so extreme. If he was truly a liar, he would not admit that he was not able to see through the other party’s fate. In fact, a liar would try to tell you something ambiguous or completely baseless instead."
"For instance, he could tell you that the person you are looking for is in the northwest. After that, he will leave you to look for him all by yourself, then. As for whether you can find him in the end or not, that will not have anything to do with him anymore."
"Since Old Master Lennard can directly admit that he cannot see through the other party's fate, I believe that he is certainly not trying to make up any sort of excuses."
Although Sophie did not believe this, she did not want to continue arguing with her family members anymore. So, she said angrily, "Since even Old Master Lennard cannot see through his fate, I will just have to rely on my own abilities to slowly find him, then!"
Jefferson hurriedly said at this time, "Sophie, listen to your grandpa's advice. You should stop looking for this person." 10
