Chapter 222

The others were left speechless after hearing Phoebe’s explanation. So stealing their luck was that easy!

Frank couldn’t hold back his laughter. “Here, take it, take it, take all of it! You guys are hilarious. Meanwhile, you and your brothers were happily indulging her, and Sienna was probably thinking, ‘These illots are so easy to manipulate.’”

If they hadn’t started realizing Sienna’s true nature because of Phoebe, they definitely would have agreed to a request like that—blindly handing over their luck to Sienna without a second thought.

Leon’s face darkened. “If you don’t shut up, no one will mistake you for a mute.”

Did this bastard have to be so brutal! Listening to all this, he felt like he and his brothers were the dumbest people alive.

If it weren’t for everything that had happened after Phoebe left the Jenkins family, they probably would have thought Sienna was just joking and played along, happily giving her what she wanted. They really were the biggest fools here.

Leon asked, “But what if we didn’t know that agreeing to something like that actually transferred luck? Would it still count?”

Phoebe nodded. “Of course it would. No matter how the question is phrased, as long as you don’t mentally reject it and verbally agree, the spell will take effect.”

“That’s why, from now on, if anyone keeps asking for a bit of your luck, saying things like, ‘Can you lend me some good fortune?’ or ‘Let me soak up some of your luck,’ you better think twice before answering. You might assume it’s just a joke, but it could be real. And this is just about borrowing luck—the scarier version is borrowing life force.”

Leon and the others shivered at the thought. One thing was clear—they must never agree to something like that. If Phoebe hadn’t explained it, they would’ve never known how dangerous such simple words could be.

Leon frowned. “This method is so sneaky and underhanded. Most people wouldn’t even think to guard against it.” Neither he nor his brothers would have ever considered such a thing.

Frank shrugged. “Well, I’d definitely be on guard,” he glanced at Brenda and added, “Unless Brenda asked me, I wouldn’t agree to anyone else.” He had always been wary of people like Edith. Whether in actions or words, he always thought twice before making a move.

Jamar and Reece were speechless. This bastard even found a way to use this situation to declare his loyalty!

Brenda rolled her eyes. “Great. Now you’re making me cringe again. Thanks.”

Phoebe snurked. “Yeah, same here. That was way too much.” Frank’s sudden show of devotion was unbelievably corny.

Hearing them say this, Leon and Reece couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Serves him right.

Leon gave Frank a look of disgust. “Frank, you really are too much today.”

Herce nodded. “Forget them—even I feel second-hand embarrassment from you.”

Frank was speechless. He definitely shouldn’t have brought these two illots with him today. They were only here to drag him down. He cleared his throat. “Alright, back to the real discussion.”

A thought suddenly hit him. “Wait a minute—does this mean Reece managed to escape?”

Leon muttered to Reece, “We’re all being slaughtered, and Reece actually dodged it. Then, squinting at him, he muttered, “Why the hell does he get off the hook!”

Frank smirked. “What, you think it’s because of Sienna’s love for him!”

Reece Camile vanished instantly. If you two don’t know how to shut up, just stay silent. “How does me getting screwed over help you!” And these guys called themselves his best friends! They were worse than plastic friendships.

Frank shrugged. “Isn’t it better for us all to suffer together?”

Leon nodded. “Yeah, being brothers in misfortune is the way to go. But apparently, you got out of it. We’re kinda jealous.” Of course, they were just messing with him. Even if they were caught in the trap, they still hoped their brother had managed to escape.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow. “Who said he got away? Don’t forget—he and Brenda are twins.”

“That means his birth chart is the same as Edith’s. He can be a target for luck—stealing…”

“His hair and blood were definitely taken at the same time as Brenda’s and used for hex-branding.” And if she had to guess, the one who had done it was most likely their own mother.

She continued, “As long as he keeps helping and indulging Sienna like he used to, he’ll end up just like the Jenkins family. The moment Sienna asks him for luck, and he agrees, his luck will be transferred to her.”

Frank and Leon were confused. “His birth chart is the same as Edith’s. What does that have to do with Sienna?”

Brenda knew the answer. “Because they’re sisters.” She turned to Phoebe and asked, “Can they steal luck through blood ties?”

Phoebe gave her an approving look. “Brenda, you’re sharp. Yes, since they share the same bloodline, as long as a secret ritual was performed at birth, their fates are intertwined.”

That means Sienna, being connected to Reece, can extend the link to Edith. Edith’s birth chart suppresses Reece, so through that connection, Sienna can drain luck from Reece. If there had been no curse placed on them, simply asking for luck wouldn’t work. Otherwise, the world would be in chaos.

Frank added, “Judging by how much Reece used to spoil Sienna, and with his mom backing her up, he definitely would’ve been like, ‘Here, take it.’”

“Damn, that sounds so doting.”

Reece shot him a warning glare. “Shut the hell up.” Was this something to be said in front of Phoebe!! How much worse was she going to misunderstand him now? What kind of friend purposely dug a hole for him like this?

Frank looked at his friend’s miserable face and sighed. Even if he didn’t say it, did Reece really think Phoebe wouldn’t have figured it out on her own? But seriously, he wouldn’t keep stabbing his friend’s weak spots.

Changing the subject, Lars said, “The people behind Sienna and Edith really planned this out perfectly. Our link to another; every piece falls into place. Their setup is insane.” Whoever was pulling the strings was a formidable mastermind. Not just in horoscope and metaphysics, but in manipulating people and setting traps as well.

Chapter 222

Then something dawned on him. “Wait—you just said Sienna and Edith are sisters. What’s that supposed to mean?”

Reece and Leon also caught on. “Wait… those two are sisters?!”

Brenda nodded. “Yep. Just like you’re thinking—they’re half-sisters.”

“And not only that—Soren is their biological brother!” Reece, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out. “What?! Soren is their brother!! What the hell do you mean by that?”

Brenda rolled her eyes. “Isn’t it obvious! Soren is your mom’s love child with Sienna’s biological father.” Since Soren had never insulted them by calling them “bastards,” she didn’t feel right using that word to describe him.

“All three of them share the same father, just with different mothers.” She added, “That’s why our dear mother has always favored Soren. She treats Sienna even better than her own biological children.”
