Elliot bluntly said. “Thoebe discovered that Mrs. Hill had intentionally applied a special fragrance that affects emotions: It heightens negative feelings, making people lose control over small matters”
“If exposed to it frequently, it can even harm your health” He deliberately added the last part, knowing that besides her pride. Lydia cared most
about her health
As expected, 1 yilia’s expression turned from shock to skepticism. She asked, “Is this real is Phoebe just saying this because she dislikes Mrs. Hillt
Ellins had anticipated her doubt. “If you’re unsure, we can get a check–up to confirm it. I’ll take you to the hospital tomorrow morning. If there’s a problem, youll see the truth for yourself.”

Lydia often woke up in the middle of the night, and her overall energy and well–being had been declining. It turned out it was all caused by an
external factor
No wonder every time she met Ophelia, she noticed the same faint fragrance on her. She had even wondered why Ophelia never changed her perfuse despite meeting so many times
Now she knew it was a deliberate trick, and the fragrance was only used when they met. And to think she had treated Ophelia as a close friendl
Now, all she felt was humilution and fury at being played like a fool. She needed an outlet for her anger
Elliot thought for a moment and said, “It’s good in confront her. Do you want me to go with you?
It would be better for Lydia to recognize Ophelia’s true nature sooner rather than later.
hur Lydia, already feeling embarrassed at being manipulated, didn’t want her husband to watarss her humilation. She shook her head. “No need. Jathair, you come with me”
She was going for a confrontation, and bringing a son along made her feel more secure.
Jamar was happy to oblige. Til love to” He wanted to see the drama unfold.

“Ophelia and Sienna pried to get Phoebe’s hair and blood and hired a voodon warlock to curse her.”
Lydia was shocked. They tried to use a voodoo warlock against Phoebe‘” she asked in disbelief.
Elliot nodded. “Yes Fornately, Phoebe was smart and didn’t let them take her hair or blood. Otherwise, things would’ve been much worse”
He added. ”
“Both of them are full of evil intentions. The sooner you cut ties with them, the better it is for you”
Lydia felt a storm brewing in her mind.
Afraid her husband would notice her turmoil, she forced herself to stay calm and nodded. “Alright”
Once outside, she immediately asked Jamar to explain everything in detail.
As she linened, her resentment toward Ophelia intensified
Ophelia was too much. She had lied, saying she only needed Phoebe’s hair for an exorcism, something a horoscope master could handle at most
Lydia didn’t expect it was actually for a voodoo warlock to curse Phorbe
Although Lydia didn’t fully understand voodoo or metaphysics, she had heard terrifying rumors about such practices
Now, Lydia was both horrified and relieved. Thankfully, she hadn’t given Ophelia’s hair that day. Otherwise, she would have doomed her own daughter.
Lydia had been angry and resentful toward Phoebe, but she had never wished for her to be severely harmed or killed.
The
worst part was that Ophelia had tried to use her to hurt her own daughter
If this plan had succeeded, she could never face Phoebe again
And if Elliot and her sons found out, they would surely blame her for L
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became

By the time they arrived at Ophelia’s hotel, Lydia was practically boiling with rage. Even Jamar could tell his mother was about to explode at any moment. Luckily, it wasn’t directed at him.
Ophelia got up to
to answer the
door when she heard knocking.
She was surprised to see Lydia and Jamar standing there
Ophelia called out, “Lydia, why are you here!”
Lydia replied, “I have something to ask y

Ophelia was puzzled but still smiled. “Come in and talk.”
