Chapter 268: Chapter 268 The Ghost Cultivator Eats Better Than Him!

"I’m not the one who should reap what they sow! It’s clearly her!"

Facing Wyatt’s mocking laughter, Clara Harper pointed angrily at Elsa standing nearby,

"If it weren’t for the fact that during the college entrance exam I got diarrhea from the breakfast you gave me, causing me to fail that exam, how would I have ended up in a third-rate college later on?!

You ruined my future, and then you got into such a good school yourself?! Everything you have now should’ve been mine! Is it wrong for me to want it back?!"

Elsa, hearing her accusations, trembled with anger, and after a long pause, with red eyes, she lashed back,

"That breakfast wasn’t given by me! You clearly snatched it!

Because you snatched my breakfast, I took the exam that morning on an empty stomach."

After the exam that day, she almost fainted from low blood sugar.

Back then, Elsa had held some resentment towards Clara, but later, upon hearing that Clara had failed the exam due to diarrhea, she instead felt some guilt towards her.

Clara waved it off, saying it was her own problem and told Elsa not to overthink it.

So, even though the two ended up at different schools, they still kept in touch.

Elsa never expected that Clara had always held this grudge in her heart and even blamed her for it!

How is this different from a thief breaking into a house and injuring their leg, and then demanding compensation from the homeowner?

"You did it on purpose! You ruined my life! Elsa! It’s all your fault!!"

Clara was frantic.

She knew what the truth was, but she was unwilling to place the blame for her ruined future on herself; she had to pin everything on Elsa.

She blamed Elsa for bringing breakfast out, for not eating at home.

If she was going to snatch it, couldn’t Elsa have stopped her?

It was all her fault.

These thoughts rooted in her mind, and as she blamed Elsa, she forgot the cause and effect, only remembering that everything was Elsa’s fault.

And this idea became uncontrollable when she saw Elsa thriving in college and even dating such an excellent boyfriend.

She believed that Elsa’s future ought to be hers.

Elsa’s education was hers.

Elsa’s job was hers.

Even Elsa’s husband should be hers!

She constantly fell into this madness, and when she heard that Elsa was being pursued by a rich second-generation heir, her jealousy was overwhelming.

She even prayed for Elsa to cheat, break up with Wyatt, and then get played and dumped by the rich heir.

But she didn’t witness them breaking up, and Seth wasn’t just looking to play around.

She watched as Elsa and Wyatt gradually moved toward marriage proposals and even began planning a sweet honeymoon.

She couldn’t accept it.

So, when Seth approached her, she agreed without hesitation.

She didn’t care about a change in identity.

As long as she became Elsa, everything Elsa had would be hers.

But Seth didn’t tell her that after the soul swap, they could be swapped back!

No one present paid any further heed to Clara’s hysterics, and Elsa knew that after what Clara did, reasoning with her was meaningless.

When she was in her body, being tormented and humiliated by Seth, she lost all past friendship for Clara.

And those legs were Clara’s payback.

Seth truly broke her legs.

If she could, she wanted Clara to experience the pain of having bones broken.

But she didn’t have the chance anymore.

So before coming to Sea City, she asked the doctor to inject her legs with a heavy amount of anesthetic.

These anesthetics ensured she wouldn’t feel any pain from impaired movement during the journey.

Of course, excessive anesthetic would also affect the nerves in the body...

But what did that matter?

Once she got her body back, Clara’s body had nothing to do with her.

Even if it became half-paralyzed, it was a consequence she brought upon herself.

...

Perhaps feeling Clara’s hysterical screams and curses were too grating, Scarlett Jennings raised her hand and silenced her with the same spell Adam used.

This caused Victor Quintero, who was watching, to raise an eyebrow. He asked Wyatt to take the person to the car before turning to Scarlett with a smile,

"Speaking of which, I also graduated from the Taoism Academy in Sea City, which makes me your senior."

Scarlett looked at him, silently saying nothing.

Her almond-shaped eyes seemed to ask, "And so?"

Victor cleared his throat, not continuing the preamble, and straightforwardly asked,

"Junior sister, are you interested in joining our Security Bureau? I can directly recommend you, so you wouldn’t need to wait for the Academy’s arrangement after graduation."

This idea occurred to him after learning she was the one who dealt with the little corpse from the Wealth Pillar and the Gold Bracelet, but he hadn’t had the chance to meet her before. Adding to the fact that she was quite young, the Bureau said they could observe her more first.

However, seeing her performance in the fourth episode and her innate ability to directly switch souls just now, Victor thought it was necessary to invite her in advance.

He thought anyone accepted by the Taoism Academy wouldn’t refuse the national certification of the Security Bureau.

But to his surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, Scarlett unhesitatingly refused him.

"I’m not interested."

Victor was somewhat incredulous, "Why? This is an official national position! Not only do you get the five insurances and one fund, but the salary and benefits are also quite gen...erous."

The last word came out less confidently as Victor noticed the bustling construction site not far behind the girl.

With the family capable of casually creating a food street to improve their daughter’s meals, the Security Bureau’s salary really didn’t seem significant.

Seemingly not noticing Victor’s weakened tone at the end, Scarlett simply said,

"Thank you, senior, but I have my own goals at the Academy."

Before finding her master’s whereabouts, she wouldn’t consider other opportunities.

Currently, her only clue was within the Academy.

Seeing Scarlett unmoved, Victor didn’t know how to persuade her further but didn’t forget to take out his phone before leaving, his tone with a hint of unintentional humility,

"If you won’t join the Security Bureau, may I add you on WeChat?"

Scarlett: ...

In the end, Scarlett added him as a contact.

After all, he was in charge of the Sea City area, and if any situation arose where they needed the Security Bureau’s involvement, he would be convenient.

Unaware that he was seen as a potential errand runner, Victor was content as he took people back to the city after adding her as a contact.

He already heard that Wyatt and his wife came over not just for Scarlett but also to thank a ghost cultivator in their district.

Victor learned from them that a female ghost cultivator in Sea City had gained online fame.

Out of curiosity, Victor escorted them to the villa where she was residing.

And there, he saw all sorts of snacks and treats piled at the entrance of the luxurious villa.

Milk tea, fried chicken, shrimp, cola, Sprite, and cold beer.

This ghost cultivator...

Was eating better than he was!
