Chapter 321 A Ruthless Move
This scene left everyone present astonished. They couldn’t help but think that Andrew was in a pitiful state. Even in such a situation, Jodie refused to let him off the hook.
Naturally, Jodie wouldn’t admit it, shaking her head vigorously in denial and saying, “No, this is a protective talisman. Someone else gave me this talisman, claiming that it brings safety and protection. It’s not an object for attracting luck. Andrew, don’t listen to Simone’s instigation. She’s intentionally talking nonsense.”
Of course, she wouldn’t admit it, and she absolutely couldn’t admit it.
Knowing that Jodie would respond in this way, Simone looked at Bailey and suggested, “Bailey, why don’t you help Mr. Gray examine it? Is the pendant he’s wearing a protective talisman or a charm for attracting luck?”
Bailey’s deep gaze turned toward her. Looks like this girl has set her sights on me. He agreed straightforwardly, “Alright.” Then, he instructed Aaron, “Remove the pendant.”
Following his instructions, Aaron took the pendant off Andrew’s neck. Just as he was about to hand it to Bailey, he heard him say, “Turn the pendant over and carefully check if there’s a row of small characters on the back. On the back, it’s written with your name and birthdate, Andrew.”
Aaron paused for a moment, then turned the jade pendant over. Sure enough, on the back, he saw a row of small characters-Andrew’s name and a string of numbers written on it.
He didn’t remember Andrew’s exact birth time, so he walked to his bedside, lowered his head, and whispered the numbers on the back of the pendant into his ear. “Andrew, is this your birth time?” Because they were live-streaming, he didn’t say it out loud.
Andrew was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, “Yes.”
Bailey explained, “Indeed, this is not a protective talisman, but a charm for forcibly stealing luck from anyone related to her, as long as you willingly wear this thing. She burns an activatable talisman, recites an incantation, and steals your luck from you. It’s different from borrowing luck before, as that was voluntary on your part. Now, without your knowledge, reciting the incantation can transfer your luck to her.” He looked at Andrew again and continued, “That’s why you continue to have bad luck, to the point where even the bead bracelet can’t suppress it and breaks prematurely. This also explains why she happened to be there on the polo field to block the disaster.”
Simone emphasized, “Isn’t this against the rules? I wonder which geomancy master helped her with this. She was testing if that sc*mbag, Andrew, could understand her underlying meaning. If the foolishness in his brain had drained out, then it should work

After listening, Andrew’s face turned extremely ugly, and he looked at Jodie with a cold gaze. He couldn’t accept the heartache because he had loved her sincerely, only to be repaid with such harm. He didn’t ask her why she did it because he already had the answer in his heart- simply because she was selfish and only cared about herself. As long as she could gain fortune from her brothers, she would be fine. As for them, they could go wherever they wanted.
Andrew remained silent for a while. Suddenly, he remembered Simone’s words and asked Bailey, “Mr. Shawn, her actions violated the rules of the geomancy association, right?”
Bailey replied, “There is a department in the geomancy association specifically responsible for managing this. They need to intervene and investigate before concluding. I am just a geomancer in the geomancy association. I don’t deal with these matters.”
Simone glanced at him and said, “In this situation, can the parties involved file a complaint with the geomancy association?”
Bailey looked at her with a smile in his eyes and said, “Naturally, that is possible.” This girl is up to no good again. This is a trap. She wants her brother to send her adopted sister to be punished by the geomancy association! This move is quite ruthless.
Sure enough, Andrew calmly said, “Then, I will file a complaint with the geomancy association and hope they can thoroughly investigate and punish the geomancer who practices such sinister methods. I demand strict punishment for them.”
Now, Andrew felt deep love and intense hatred; he had been so good to Jodie before, always protecting her, but now, he wanted nothing more than to see her punished as she had hurt him too deeply.
Jodie couldn’t believe it as she stared at him. “Andrew, are you really going to treat me like this?”
Andrew found her tone laughable. “I’m just returning the favor, an eye for an eye. I will treat you the way you treated me.” This time, he had made up his mind not to be fooled by her
anymore.
Jodie took a few steps back, clutching her chest and finding it hard to accept his heartless transformation. “Didn’t you say you will always cherish and protect me? And now you blame
me
Andrew’s face darkened. “Cherishing and protecting you was on the condition that I volunteered to do so, but I didn’t ask you to use underhanded tactics to harm me. I don’t want to see you anymore; just leave.”
He really didn’t want to see her anymore because he felt that the once obedient and caring sister had become detestable and terrifying.
Suddenly, Jodie turned around, snatched the camera from the cameraman behind her, and

smashed it on the ground, forcing the live broadcast to an end and leaving everyone at the scene dumbfounded.
After smashing the camera, she pleaded with Andrew, “I won’t leave, Andrew. You can’t treat me like this. Don’t complain to the geomancy association, okay? I heard that being taken to the geomancy association for investigation can cause great mental and physical torment. Do you have the heart to let me be tormented by others? I really didn’t know that this pendant had a problem and could absorb luck. I thought it was just a protective talisman.”
If the geomancy association were to come and investigate, she would be in big trouble.
Simone interjected, “If you didn’t know that the pendant could absorb luck, then how did you cast a spell to take away his luck? Your luck is now intertwined with his.”
Jodie felt her sanity slipping away. She turned her head and glared at Simone, saying, “Please be quiet. This is a matter between Andrew and me, and it doesn’t concern you.” Isn’t Simone resentful of her brothers? Why is she still assisting them? This woman is intentionally opposing me. How despicable.
Just as Simone was about to speak, Andrew intervened. He looked at Jodie with cold eyes and said, “You should be quiet. Regardless of anything, Simone is my biological sister. We can’t afford to have an ungrateful person like you as a sister. It was my foolishness to be deceived by you in the past, and I won’t allow it to happen again.”
Jodie still wanted to argue, “Andrew, it’s not like that, I—”
Just then, the door of the hospital room swung open, and Owen and Alice entered, accompanied by their son.
