Lydia thought, I’ve never been so publicly humiliated before. And the worst part is, it’s Phoebe doing this to me

Once Phoebe left, the other guests followed suit, leaving only Jamar behind, awkwardly standing alone. He spoke to the crew, and they quickly shut
Finally, he walked over to Lydia. Lydia, since Phoebe isn’t going to lend it to us, ler’s forget about it,” Jamar said.
Lydia shot Jamar a dark, furious glare. “How can you be so heartless Cain is lying in bed, and this is how you
You’ve been hanging around Phoebe all the time–are you learning to be cold and ruthless from her?”
She couldn’t hold back her frustration with Phoebe and ended up venting on Jamar instead.
act?”
Jamar was at a loss for words. “Well, she has to be willing to help first! We’ve already wronged Phoebe enough. Why do you keep trying to guilt–trip
“Cain’s condition isn’t Phoebe’s fault.”
You should talk to Sienna if you’re desperate for help”
“If she’s the one who hurmed Cain, maybe she’s the one who can help him too. After all, the people behind her should certainly not be Enderestimated.
Jamar thought. “All I feel for Phoebe now is guilt. I don’t want to push her into doing something she doesn’t like.””
Lydia’s expression grew even darker. “How dare you, you ungrateful son! Are you saying I’m the one at fault?”
“It wasn’t my fault Phoebe left all those years ago. When she returned, I wanted to make amends, but she was the one who demanded to sever tes and leave the Jenkins family”
“So, I don’t feel like I owe her anything”
She took a deep breath, her voice growing cold. “I’m her mother, yet she humiliated me in front of everyone. That’s what’s truly ungrateful”
Jamar couldn’t believe his ears. “Lydia, how can you think like this?”
“She left the Jenkins family because we were too harsh, didn’t we push her to that point?”
“I think Elliot’s right. You should stay away from Ophelia
After Phoebe left, Lydia felt regret and guilt. She kept saying how much she wanted Phoebe to come back home.
Jamar thought, “Now it feels like Lydia has a lot of resentment toward Phoebes It’s as if she’s forgotten how they pushed Phoebe away in the first place. Now, she acts like Phoebe is the one who’s wronged her.
Lydia never used to think like this. Ever since she started getting closer to Ophelia, everything’s changed”
Lydia raised her hand and slapped Jamar across the face. “You little brat, how dare you question me
“You’ve been hanging around Phoebe too much, picking up all her bad habits.”
“Learning how to disrespect your elders–just like Brenda treats Ophelia now?”
Jamar, stunned by the slap, felt his anger rise. “This is ridiculous”
“You refuse to listen to those of us who have your best interests at heart, but you’ll
you’ll gladly take advice from those just trying to stir the pot.”
“Lake Macaria said, keep going, you’ll see the consequences.”
Without sparing another word, Jamar turned and stormed off.
Lydia watched him go and stomped her foot in frustration. She thought, “These ungrateful children are all going against me. It’s unbelievable.
Jainar didn’t return to his room. Instead, he asked the crew for directions and hurried after Phoebe and the others.
Pluterlar and Raylan walked alad, talking as they headed toward a lively part of Orlar. Reece trailed behind them. Jamar quickly caught up and jeaned Perce by his side.
Reece glanced at him
and asked, “Dad
Jamar sighed in frustration. “Not really. There’s no way to handle it.”

He pulled Recce aside, away from the cameras, and lowered his voice. “How’s your relationship with Ophelia right now?”
Reece Faised an eyebrow, confused. “Why do you ask?”
Jamar didn’t hide anything. “Lydia’s been getting close to Ophelia. Elliot said they’ve been meeting
gup every day lately.”
“Before, Lydia felt guilty about Phoebe and wanted to make amends. Now, though, she’s got a lot of resentment toward her and thinks Phoebe’s all

“And Ophelia has probably been stirring the pot behind the scenes.”
Reece hadn’t expected Ophelia to be involved at all. I’ve been having issues with her recently,” he admitted. “She’s been talking badly about Phoebe,
but I didn’t listen.”
“She’s probably said a lot to Lydia, too.”
Ophelia was trying to get

ert him to help
Instead of ignoring her this time, he shot back a few words, setting her off. It was likely because of that Ophelia shifted her anger onto Phoebe
Jamar shook his head in frustration. “You need to talk to Ophelia. Tell her to stop focusing on Phoebe.”
Phoebe hasn’t done anything to provoke her. She’s the one with the problem.”
Jamar thought, Ophelia is no good and now she’s been stirring things up, making Lydia’s temper even worse!
Reece nodded. “Alright, III talk to Ophelia after the show ends.
Reece thought, Ophelia’s got some issues. She didn’t like Phoebe before, probably because I liked her. But now that Phoebe’s shut me out, why is she still making a fuss?”
The two continued whispering behind Phoebe and Raylan, though both quickly heard their words.
op meddling with me
Phoebe thought, I’m completely frustrated with Ophelia. She favors Sienna, mistreats Brenda, and now she can’t stop
“Ophelia was clearly out of her mind. If she wants to stir things up, I’m happy to give her a taste of her own medicine!
Percival often told her that their kind of horoscope masters were guided by intuition, doing whatever felt right in the moment.
Phoebe thought, “I don’t believe in repaying kindness with kindness, or holding onto grudges, It’s about returning favor for favor, and resentment
for resentment.
And Lydia…I can’t figure out what she’s thinking. Why can’t she live a peaceful life? Why does she have to get involved with someone like Ophelia She’ll regret this one day, crying over it
But if Ophelia and Lydia both come to see through Sienna and start despising her, t
that’ll weaken Sienna’s luck significantly.
“Coin… he’s going to keep duffering. Not only will he hate Sienna, but his resentment will know with each passing day!
“As a result, not only will Sienna’s luck be weakened, but there will also be severe backlash!
Thinking about it, Phoebe decided it was time to stir the pot. She knew where to hit–Ophelia and Lydia’s weak spots. If they were going to cause trouble, she’d be sure to return the favor.
As Phoebe and Raylan found a location to set up their fortune–telling booth, Sienna was locked inside a private room at the Horoscope Association.
The room had a bed, a desk, and a bathroom. Sienna stood in front of the mirror, staring at her aging face, shocked as she covered her mouth in
disbelief.
Her complexion had darkened several shades, worse than ever. There were more dark spots and wrinkles. It looked like she’ll aged twenty years overnight
Her ne jet–black hair was now streaked with noticeable gray. If she walked outside without makeup, she’d look like a middle–aged woman in her
Forties
In Sienna’s eyes, resentment brewed. “Cain, how could you be so heartless?”
Her situation wasn’t just the result of the backlash she’d received for her actions–her luck had been severely weakened. She knew the real reasone Cain had started harboring resentment toward her and had abandoned her.
Jamar had always said that her luck relied heavily on defeating Phoebe and maintaining the favor of those who genuinely cared about her-
especially the jenkins family. If they turned oucher, it would be a disaster.

Her luck weakened after some of her o other brothers began to distance themselves. And now, Cain’s bet
betrayal had hit her harder than ever
Sienna’thought. “I regret everything I did at the polo field. I can’t bear to look at myself in the mirror, let alone accept what I’ve become
Frustrated and desperate, she ran to the door, pounding on it, her anger rising.
Soon, a voice called out from outside, “What’s going on?”
Sienna stopped pounding on the door as soon as she heard the voice. Instead, she lifted her hand and knocked a few times, each tap deliberate and rhythmic, like a secret signal.
After a moment, the voice on the other side responded, “Wait here,”
Some time passed before Sienna was quietly escorted into a hidden room
