As Charlie witnessed the sixty-inch television plummeting towards Jasmine’s feet, he sprang into action, stepping forward to grasp her hand and pull her into his embrace.
The television crashed to the floor with a thunderous bang!
Its casing and screen shattered, sending a piece of jagged stic flying and slicing into Jasmine’s delicate, fair leg.<fn8de4> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? f?ndnovel</fn8de4>
“Ahh!” Jasmine cried out in agony as the sharp pain pierced her calf. Looking down, she saw a cut measuring two to three centimeters on her leg, and blood began to flow profusely from the wound.
Charlie quickly retrieved a tissue from his pocket, kneeling beside her to press it against her injury. “Jasmine, do you have a first aid kit at home? We need to clean that wound right away,” he urged.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Initially irritated by Charlie’s touch, Jasmine felt the urge to snap at him. Yet, remembering that he had just saved her, she restrained her anger and took a deep breath to steady herself.
Turning her re towards Master Lennard, she demanded, “Master Lennard, you’re not leaving until you give me a satisfactory exnation!”
At her words, Albert seized Master Lennard by the cor, his voiceced with fury. “Speak! What have you done to Miss Moore?!”
Master Lennard’s eyes widened with fear as he replied, “I… I didn’t do anything to her! I was only trying to perform a ritual to help her reverse her bad luck…”
“Stop lying!” Albert snapped back. “Did you make Miss Moore’s fortune worse instead?”
Through gritted teeth, Don Albert cursed, “Tell me! Did someone pay you to intentionally harm Miss Moore?”
Master Lennard trembled at Albert’s usations. “Big brother, I swear I didn’t take money from anyone! I had no intention of harming Miss Moore…”
Albert pressed on, “If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the stray dogs!”
Turning to Jasmine, he added, “Miss Moore, leave this to me. I’ll handle this scoundrel for you.”
Jasmine, overwhelmed with annoyance and frustration, red at Master Lennard, her voice icy. “Master Lennard, if you don’t exin yourself right now, I’ll let Don Albert take care of you.”
In a panic, Master Lennard knelt before Jasmine, eximing, “Miss Moore! I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you at all. I was just trying to swindle you out of some money.”
Jasmine pressed further, “So, you were just pretending during the ritual earlier to deceive me?”
“Yes…” Master Lennard admitted, visibly shaking as he pulled a cash cheque from his pocket, pleading for mercy. “I’ll return the money! Please, let me go…”
Jasmine studied him intently and sensed that he was being truthful. This only deepened her sense of despair.
What was going on? Was her fortune truly deteriorating?
She had suffered such significant losses, and if this trend continued, her family’s business could copse under her watch!
Meanwhile, Charlie, who had been silent, finally spoke up. “Actually, Jasmine, it’s not entirely urate to say that Master Lennard didn’t do anything at all.”
Curious, Jasmine asked, “What do you mean?”
With calmness, Charlie exined, “Theyout of your room,bined with your five elements, creates a perilous and unfortunate Feng Shui alignment called the ‘dragon encapstion formation’.”
“This ‘dragon encapstion formation’ traps all your good fortune. However, it wasn’t fully realized due to a loophole in your room. The green potted nt you kept by the window provided a way out of this ‘dragon encapstion formation’.”
He then nced at Master Lennard with a smirk. “Unfortunately, Master Lennard decided to remove that green nt and rece it with a stone. Since a stone symbolizes gold, the ‘dragon encapstion formation’ waspleted, which is why you’re experiencing even worse misfortune now. Even if you remove the stone now, more bad luck is still in store for you…”
Jasmine was left in shock, quickly putting aside any disdain she had for Charlie as she pleaded for his assistance. “Mr. Wade, please help me!”
