Chapter 293
This time, Cain was smart. He looked at the bracelet on his wrist, feeling uneasy deep down. He thought it would be better to get rid of it as soon as possible.
He turned to Sienna and said, โSienna, letโs ask Master Flynn for help and turn the luck back. Take this bracelet and wear it. Once the variety show ends, weโll go find the person who encouraged you to do this. Letโs see if they have any way to prevent the backlash; Jenkins Group also has a horoscope master overseeing things. We can even ask them for help!โ
Sienna sighed. All these terrible ideas. Those two were nothing compared to Master Flynn. She believed that Cain really wanted to get her into trouble. She was upset that he didnโt care about her misfortune and had listened to Maddox and Jamarโs bad advice to change her luck right now. She swore she would never like him again.
However, she smiled and nodded. โOkay!โ
She then looked at Raylan, her tone becoming more serious, โMaster, Iโll be counting on you from now on.โ
Raylan could easily tell that Sienna was unwilling. She had better keep her word, or else there would be consequences. He responded with a calm demeanor. โAfter the variety show ends, you just need to pay a fee of two million dollars.โ
Cain immediately agreed. โNo problem, Iโll pay it.โ Although it was quite painful for him to give away so much money, he knew it was worth it. Money could be earned again, but bad luck was harder to fix. He really didnโt want to keep being unlucky.
Kaylan asked the staff to bring a bowl with some water in it. He told them, โDrop three drops of blood into the bowl. Then write your birth charts for me, away from the livestream camera. Also, pull out three strands of hair each and throw them into the bowl.โ
Cain didnโt hesitate. He used the fruit knife on the table, pricking his fingertip and letting three drops of blood fall into the bowl. He also pulled three strands of hair and dropped them in. Then, he handed the knife to Sienna.
Sienna stood up, feeling nervous, and took the knife from him. Siennaโs fingers hovered over the bowl, but her eyes were fixed on it. She then bit down on a pill in her mouth, and her face instantly turned pale.
She raised her hand to her head, groaning. โIโm dizzyโฆ I canโt see blood.โ Her body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground.
Maddox couldnโt help commenting, โWell, you sure fainted at the right time.โ The viewers in the livestream were speechless. Everyone, along with the viewers, was speechless. She indeed fainted at the right time.
Sebastian felt frustrated. He realized Sienna had been waiting for this moment, and all her previous drama was a waste of time. โGet the medical team over here,โ he ordered. The showโs medical team came over and began checking Sienna.
Sebastian asked, โCan you tell why she fainted?โ The doctor replied, โIt seemsโฆ shurโs faluting how the sight of the bloodโฆโ
Sebastian couldnโt help but say, โWell, she fainted at just the right time?โ
He then said, โPlease take her to rest and keep an eye on her.โ Since Sienna had coincidentally fainted, there was no way to resolve it. They could only send her to rest, or the production team would be blamed for being inhumane.
Cain stared blankly as Sienna was carried away by the medical staff. Seeing this, Jamar patted his shoulder, saying, โCam, your luck might be hard to get back. No matter how sweetly she speaks or how she promises to make things right, without any real effort, itโs all just empty words.โ
He then looked at Raylan and asked, โMaster Raylan, you previously said the most important thing is whether she is willing. Did you already notice that?โ
Raylan answered truthfully, โYes, itโs clear from her eyes that sheโs not happy about it. And if she truly wanted to borrow luck, why would she ever think about returning it?โ He was deeply annoyed by people who played games like this. If she didnโt want to give it, she should have just said so earlier. Instead, she went through all this trouble, pretending to faint, thinking he could be fooled. He knew very well that she had taken a pill that could make her faint.
He then turned to Cain and said, โSo, it wonโt be easy for you to resolve this.โ Cainโs expression changed, feeling awkward and embarrassed. It turned out that all this time, Sienna was just messing with him. If she didnโt want to return the luck, she could have said so directly. He wasnโt insisting that she return it right now; after the show ended, they would think of a way together. But instead, she kept pretending to care about him, saying she would return his luck. But then she pulled off such a trick that anyone could see through immediately. โWhat does she take me for?โ
Cain asked Raylan, โIf she refuses to return it, does that mean my luck will never come back?!โ
Raylan replied, โNot necessarily. If she doesnโt want to, there are ways to forcefully resolve it. But doing it that way will require a lot of effort on my part. And if you forcefully take it back, she will face double the backlash. It means that if you lose a third of your luck and itโs bad for you, she will suffer double the consequences. In terms of time, if you are unlucky for ten or twenty years, she will be even worse off. After all, borrowing luck is not exactly the right way.โ
He concluded with a meaningful look, โIt all depends on whether youโre willing to make that ruthless choice.โ He originally didnโt want to take the drastic step of forcefully reclaiming the luck. After all, from Siennaโs facial features, there seemed to be a slight connection between them. But if she dared to play with him, she would have to pay the price.
Phoebe had been closely observing Raylan. She noticed that he hadnโt wanted to forcefully intervene on Cainโs behalf before. That was why Raylan had suggested that Sienna willingly return the luck. This method of solving the issue was undoubtedly much less taxing than forcefully taking it back. It was likely Sienna missed a line with him and angered him. This seemingly aloof and distant master was actually rather temperamental and prideful. If Sienna knew this, she might regret her actions, realizing she had only made things worse. Willingly returning it, although there would be a backlash, the people behind her would likely find a way to help her resist it. But if the luck was forcibly taken back, no method would help her.
Phoebeโs gaze shifted to Cain. Now, it all depended on whether Cain would be willing to let Sienna endure the double misfortune and suffer even more.
