Chapter 330
Phoebeโs accurate reading of the woman had sparked interest among many onlookers, who were curious to get a reading of their own. However, most hesitated, knowing it was a live broadcast and feeling too shy to step forward.
Just then, a handsome young man walked up and sat down.
โPhoebe, Iโd like to have a reading, please,โ he said, pulling out 100 dollars from his wallet and placing it on the table.
Phoebe glanced at him and asked, โShall I share a few things about you first?โ
The young man nodded eagerly. โSure!โ
Phoebe began. โYou come from a wealthy family. Your mother passed away from illness when you were three.โ
โYour father remarried, but he and your stepmother have treated you well, and they never had any other children.โ
โYour family life has been peaceful and happy.โ
โThe only real setback you had was falling ill during your college entrance exams, which forced you to withdraw halfway through.โ
โAfter repeating the year, you got into your dream university.โ
โAfter graduation, you joined your fatherโs company, and your career has been smooth sailing.โ
The young man looked surprised.
Phoebe continued, โYouโve always had a closer relationship with your stepmother than most people do with their biological mothers.โ
He smiled and said, โAside from a few relatives, none of my friends know about this.โ
โI was impressed by how accurate your reading was for that woman earlier,โ he said, his curiosity sparked. โThatโs when I decided, on a whim, to come up and get one myself.โ
โThereโs no way you or the production team couldโve looked into my background beforehand.โ
โYou are impressive. You nailed it all.โ
Then he added, โYou still havenโt talked about my love life.โ
Phoebe smiled. โYou have those captivating eyes that make you seem flirtatious, but in reality, youโre pretty devoted.โ
โYou once had a girlfriend you cared deeply for, and just when things were going great between you two, she broke up with you.โ
โFor all these years, youโve never stopped thinking about her. And youโre unsure whether you should contact her again, right?โ
The young manโs eyes widened in shock. โWow, you even knew that?โ
He had kept his feelings for his ex-girlfriend to himself, unable to move on. He thought, How could I let go when I still care so much? I canโt just settle for anyone else!
He said, โIโve been wondering if I should try to get back together with her. Is there still a chance?โ
โOf course, if sheโs still single or unmarried.โ
The young man thought, If sheโs with someone else now, no matter how much I still love her, I wouldnโt want to interfere or cause any problems.
โEven though we broke up suddenly, Iโve always felt there was a deeper reason behind it.โ
Phoebe asked, โDo you have a picture of her?โ
The young man nodded. โI do.โ
He pulled out his phone and showed her a photo of them together. The camera angle was purposely avoided to keep it off the live stream.
Phoebe studied the photo for a moment, then looked back at him. โYour connection isnโt over yet.โ
โShe probably broke up with you because of family reasons, something beyond her control.โ
Her expression shifted as she took a moment to focus. She carefully observed both facial features, then made a small gesture with her hand, as if calculating something.
With a smile, she added, โSometimes, when fate comes knocking, itโs unstoppable.โ
โI can tell sheโs still single and right here in Oriar,โ Phoebe said confidently. โYou can go find her and ask her yourself.โ
The young manโs eyes widened. โAre you serious?โ
Phoebe chuckled. โThatโs how I calculated it. Whether you believe it or not is up to you.โ
He immediately jumped to his feet, eager. โI believe you, of course I do!โ
โWhere is she?โ
Phoebe pointed to the location. โHead down the street next door and walk straight to the end. The last shop on the cornerโsheโll be there.โ
โHopefully, this time, you wonโt miss each other.โ
The young man was nearly bursting with excitement. โThank you! Iโm going right now!โ
The onlookers were equally stunned. They thought, Is this for real? His ex-girlfriend in Oriar, too? And Phoebe was able to predict it?
Curious, a few people followed him to see if this would work out.
The viewers in the live stream were insistent, demanding that the cameras follow along. They were too curious to see if Phoebeโs predictions would be accurate.
After getting the young manโs consent, the production crew sent a cameraman to follow him.
Minutes later, the young man reached the end of the street. He stopped in front of the last store, a small bakery, and froze momentarily.
His ex-girlfriend had always been passionate about baking and had once told him she dreamed of opening her pastry shop someday. He thought, โCould it be?โ
With a mix of nervousness and hope, he stepped inside.
In front of him was a woman in a blue dress, focused on shaping pastries. He recognized her instantly and couldnโt help but call out, โSelene.โ
At the sound of his voice, she froze for a moment. Slowly, she looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief.
After a brief pause, she asked, โHow did you find me here?โ
It was clear from her expression that she was both surprised and uncertain.
He walked toward her, explaining about the fortune-telling session, in excitement.
The live stream temporarily cut off as they began discussing the past. The viewers who had followed along gasped in disbelief, praising how accurate Phoebeโs fortune-telling and predictions were.
A moment later, the young man returned with the blushing woman, both stepping back into view of the camera.
He explained to the viewers that their sudden breakup had been due to her family pressuring her for a large sum of money to help her brother pay off his debts. They even tried to extort him for a dowry. She had broken up with him to protect him, not wanting her family to take advantage of him and bleed him dry. Afterward, she left her city and went to great lengths to escape her familyโs grip, never gathering the courage to return and face the person she truly loved. After making some money, she opened a bakery in Oriar. After talking things through, the couple realized they still loved each other and decided to give their relationship another shot.
They walked back to the street, both repeatedly thanking Phoebe.
Unable to hold back, the young man asked, โPhoebe, if I hadnโt decided to ask for your help, would I still have run into her here?โ
Phoebe smiled. โNot this time. You would have left without crossing paths. But youโll meet again a few years from now when you return to Oriar.โ
Chapter 330
โYou two are meant to be. Youโve always loved each other and will eventually end up together. Itโs just happening a little sooner than expected.โ
Hearing this, both of them let out a relieved sigh. โItโs good to have found each other a few years early.โ
The young man thought, If we hadnโt met now, we wouldโve been worrying for much longer.
They thanked Phoebe again before walking off hand in hand.
Seeing Phoebeโs predictionsโ accuracy, those who had been too shy to face the camera before couldnโt help but step forward for their readings. Once one person got a reading, others, thinking about it, couldnโt sit still anymore. A line began to form.
An hour later, two young men, who looked like they didnโt take things too seriously, strolled up to join the queue. They wouldโve tried to cut in line if it werenโt for the live stream.
After waiting for about half an hour, it was finally their turn.
The young man with bleached blond hair sat down impatiently. He glanced at Phoebe, scoffing. โYou frauds sure know how to put on a show.โ
โIโm here to expose your scam and warn everyone not to fall for it.โ
Phoebe looked at the blond-haired man. She thought, Looks like troubleโs arrived.
