She frowned and looked at Phorle. She took the initiative to say, “You don’t even greet me, your biological mother, when you see me?”

Phache turned to look at her and callously remarked, “We’ve already cut ties. Where did ‘biological mother’ come from! Mrs. Jenkins, please have some…”

Lydia was speechless. She took a deep breath. “Fine. If you don’t acknowledge me as your mother, I won’t force you. I just want to ask you, were you the one who did what happened online? You and Reece were once together. No matter what, his mother will always be your senior. Aren’t you being too aggressive?”

Last night, her eyes were swollen from crying. Ophelia and Phoebe threatened Ben. Because of her nephew, Phoebe took her anger out on her and took the initiative to take… That was why the incident on Twitter happened. Most of it was just rumors… Then, they complained to Lydia and asked Lydia for help.

What Ophelia meant was that she could give in and apologize as long as Phoebe could let the Lyons off. Seeing the state her good friend was in, Lydia felt very upset. She also felt that her daughter had gone overboard. Jake was the one who made the mistake. Why would Phoebe take her anger out on Ophelia? She even made moves so frequently!

Hearing Lydia’s words, Phoebe found it funny. “Mrs. Jenkins, aren’t you caring a little too much?” Furthermore, I’m recording a variety show in Oriar. How can I do what you’re talking about? You have a brain, use it.

She saw that Lydia had become much more haggard, and her appearance had changed. Horoscope masters don’t usually do readings for people they’re related to, because they can’t do a clear reading. However, she had already severed ties with Lydia. Coupled with the fact that her comprehension abilities had improved, she could vaguely read something about Lydia. Lydia’s face became more and more strained, and she looked like she had reached a dead end. If she continued in this state, she would probably face a calamity. Moreover, Phoebe could clearly feel that Lydia’s dislike for her was growing. There was even an obvious sense of resentment and anger. She was helping her so-called best friend question her. Actually, it was a way for Lydia to vent her dissatisfaction with her.

Lydia’s expression darkened when she heard Phoebe’s harsh words. If you don’t acknowledge me as your mother, I’m still your senior. Is this how you treat your seniors?

Phoebe retorted, “I naturally understand that people have to respect their elders. But they have to be worthy of my respect as well!” She looked at Lydia and said meaningfully, “Obviously, you’re not in that category.”

Lydia confessed she was so angry that her chest hurt even more. The delay… know what in say… Bir was still hesitating at the stall… help Cipoclia… made her decision after listening to her daughter’s relentless taunts and sarcasm. Then her eyes fell on Phoebe’s shoulder. There was a hair there.

Lydia took a deep breath when she saw the strand of hair on Phoebe’s shoulder. Suppressing her last bit of hesitation, she raised her hand and reached for Phoebe’s shoulder… Then, as if she were dusting Phoebe’s shoulder, she patted her shoulder a few times. Then, she quickly held the strand of hair in her hand.

Seeing that Phoebe was looking at her, Lydia said quietly, “I saw that there’s dust in your shirt, so I helped you dust it off.”

Phoebe looked at Lydia coldly. “Really! Then what are you doing with my hair?” She grabbed Lydia’s hand, which was about to retract, and took the strand of hair back from her.

When Lydia looked at her shoulder hesitantly, Phoebe realized that something was wrong. At the same time, she saw the hair on her shoulders. This was actually not her hair. Someone must have accidentally rubbed against her clothes previously. However, she could not let Lydia take it away and bring harm to others. Horoscope masters paid extra attention to their hair and blood. They couldn’t leave it on their clothes and let it be taken away. The reason why Phoebe did not stop her in the beginning was to see if Lydia would choose to take it.

In the end, Lydia took it. She was surprised, but at the same time, she felt that it was reasonable. Lydia was caught red-handed and suddenly felt a little flustered. She did not expect Phoebe to be so sensitive to notice such a small action. She smiled awkwardly. “I saw that you still have hair on your clothes, so I wanted to help you pick it up and throw it away.”

Phoebe looked at her steadily. “If you look in the mirror now, you’ll find that you look very guilty. Ophelia asked you to take my hair, last night?”

After being exposed by Phoebe, Lydia felt even more awkward. She shook her head in denial. “No, why would Ophelia ask me to take your hair? You’ve misunderstood. I’m just helping you dust it off and throw it away.”

Phoebe did not have any hopes or feelings for her biological mother. Otherwise, this kind of thing would be quite hurtful. She looked at Lydia coldly. “You know very well whether I misunderstood or not. You don’t understand why I refuse to acknowledge you and want to sever ties with you. Other than Sienna, these things play a part too.”

She added sarcastically, “You actually want to take my hair and give it to Ophelia to deal with me. Are you my biological mother or my enemy? And even then, you will have the cheek to put on the airs of an elder in front of me. Where’s your self-respect?”

Lydia would not take her hair for no reason. That meant that Ophelia had instigated her to help take it. Not only did her mother choose to help Sienna between her and Sienna, but now, between Ophelia and her, her mother had also chosen to help Ophelia. She really didn’t expect this. Fortunately, she didn’t care anymore, so she wasn’t sad anymore.

Lydia’s expression changed when she heard Phoebe’s straightforward words. She wanted to continue denying it, but when she saw the sarcasm and coldness in Phoebe’s eyes, she could not bring herself to say it. Lydia was silent for a moment before saying, “Yes, Ophelia did ask me to give her a strand of your hair,”

She pursed her lips and said, “She said that you might have been cursed with something before. It’s like you’re possessed. That’s why you’re so defiant towards us. As long as I give her a strand of your hair, she can ask the horoscope master she knows to do the same and chase away the thing possessing you!”

She looked up at Herbe with anticipation in her eyes. “I only agreed because I wanted the former you to come back. Give me back my daughter,” She really wanted her once filial and considerate daughter to return. This prickly, cold, and heartless Phoebe was not her daughter.

Phoebe suddenly laughed loudly. “You still like to deceive yourself. Do you really think I’ve been possessed by something? You can’t even tell if…” She really felt that it was ironic. “You actually know in your heart that I’m still me. It’s you that you can only accept my considerate, filial, and obedient side. And you can’t accept that my attitude towards you has completely changed after I cut ties with you after you’ve hurt me. You’re such a hypocrite.”

There she hung the topper and said, “Though you truly believe that Ophelia wants my hair to help me get rid of some curse, if you completely believed in it, why did you hesitate just now? Therefore, you actually had your suspicions and guesses. Ophelia wanted to use my hair to deal with me. Because I didn’t go along with you and rebuked you instead. You’re just hinting to yourself that you want to help me lift the curse. That this is for my own good. That you did the right thing. Am I right, Mrs. Jenkins?”

She could guess what Lydia was thinking. However, the more this was the case, the more glad she was that she had cut ties with her biological mother. I would want a relationship like this?

Lydia’s expression changed when she heard Phoebe’s thoughts. She avoided her gaze. “I’m your biological mother. Why would I want to help others harm you? Besides, you’re so powerful. How could you be…”

She did not completely believe Ophelia’s words. She had also suspected that Ophelia was going to use Phoebe’s hair to do something. However, she felt that since Phoebe was so powerful, she would not sustain much damage from a single strand of hair. At most, she would be taught a lesson. Moreover, if what Ophelia said was true, it would be even better if her once considerate daughter could come back. So she made her move.

Phoebe laughed. “Look, you’re still finding excuses for the coldness and filth in your heart. I’m powerful, so I deserve to be schemed against by you… back to where we came from. But now you’re overstepping my boundaries. If you provoke…”

She looked at Lydia and said, “Lydia, we were just going back to me again, don’t blame me for being blunt.” With Lydia’s personality, she would always have resentment as long as she was not a considerate daughter. It was only a matter of time before she provoked her again. When the time came, it would be justifiable for her to retaliate.

Lydia’s face turned red. She was embarrassed and amiable. “What did she mean by cold and dirty? Why would anyone talk about their mother like that?” Her daughter was getting more and more infuriating.

She said coldly, “These are just your own ideas. I won’t admit it.” Phoebe shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s up to you.” She then said meaningfully, “I’ve found the reason why Sienna is so cold and heartless. Because she was raised by you since she was young. She…”

Lydia was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She raised her hand and pointed at Phoebe. “You, you…,” She didn’t know how to refute her. What she hated the most now was being told that she had raised Sienna to be like this.

Seeing how angry she was, Phoebe thought of something. She put on a look of concern and said, “Since we were once mother and daughter, let me remind you. If you continue to follow Reece’s mother and jump about to cause trouble, you’ll face a calamity. If it’s serious, all your friends and family will leave you.”

She wasn’t reminding Lydia out of kindness. Instead, she wanted to bury a thorn in her heart in advance. She knew that Lydia had always been paranoid. If it came true, she wouldn’t self-reflect. She would blame Ophelia. She did not care if Ophelia wanted to sow discord between her and Lydia. However, she wouldn’t let her continue stirring up trouble. She also knew how to scheme. The closer Lydia and Ophelia were now, the worse their relationship would be in the future. It should be quite interesting to watch the two of them fight. Most importantly, in Lydia’s current state, she would not listen to her at all.

As expected, Lydia was so angry that her entire body was trembling. “You’re too much. You actually cursed me.” She did not believe that she would be unlucky and be betrayed by everyone.
