Chapter 94: Chapter 94 Her Bad Peach Blossom Luck is at Its Peak

Although Lydia Patterson had already experienced a "ghost sighting" once, facing a person who was supposed to be dead still made her blood freeze for a moment.

The old man in the traditional outfit remained unaware and floated joyfully over to his grandson’s side, swaying back and forth, "I heard your mom bragging to her friends today again. As expected of my big grandson, getting into Capital University purely on your own merits. That’s the way! There’s no need to listen to your dad about studying abroad, our first-class universities in the country are in no way inferior to those foreign schools..."

Lydia felt a twitch in her forehead and realized that the old man seemed somehow different from the strict grandfather he knew before.

Before Lydia could fully process this, two more old ladies drifted over. If she remembered correctly, one of them seemed to be her great-grandmother?

Great-grandma walked over and immediately pulled the old man in the traditional outfit aside. "Why are you blocking the child at the door? Aren’t you aware of the heavy shadow energy on you? You should hurry and reincarnate given your age. Aeliana came up a while ago, and you didn’t dare to meet her. Once she’s reincarnated, you won’t ever see her again."

Great-grandma didn’t seem much older than the old man in the traditional outfit, but he instinctively bent over, "Mom, you died before me. Why aren’t you in a hurry to go down? Why are you always pushing me?"

"Don’t I have to guard this family? Who asked you to leave Capital Metropolitan and develop in Sea City because of those old men? Now you can’t go back."

"Oh mom, it’s been so long since that happened, and you’re still nagging. Besides, our family is developing pretty well in Sea City, with a successful grandson."

As the two old men and women chatted, another old lady suddenly spoke up, "Sister-in-law, why does little Lydia look so strange, standing still at the entrance?"

This old lady was undoubtedly their great-aunt. Lydia, although she couldn’t remember, did know of such a person.

The great-aunt lost her husband early and lived with her elder brother and sister-in-law. She was long gone by the time the Patterson branch moved to Sea City. Lydia never expected her great-grandmother and this great-aunt to continue following their family.

Perhaps Lydia’s reaction was too stiff, as the speaking great-aunt squinted her eyes and moved closer.

"Why does it seem like little Lydia can see us?"

That single sentence immediately made the two endlessly arguing old men and women turn their heads to stare at Lydia.

Lydia’s expression instantly froze.

But it was precisely this expression, combined with suddenly locking eyes with them, that made the three old figures in front of her delight.

"Oh wow, little Lydia can actually see us!"

"It’s true, just like Aeliana last time."

"Grandson, I’m grandpa. Can you see grandpa?"

Lydia: ...

At this moment, he realized why she suddenly saw several ancestors...

It had to be Scarlett Jennings causing trouble!

Lydia never expected Scarlett Jennings to be so impolite.

She was clearly determined to pursue her sincerely.

If Scarlett wasn’t interested, that was fine, but she went as far as to make him see ghosts...

Even though the ghosts were her own ancestors.

...

Not to mention Lydia endured her most tormenting night ever, on the other end, Scarlett Jennings returned to the banquet and was pulled aside by Alicia Sharp for a private chat.

"The talisman you sold me last time worked!"

Alicia Sharp spoke with a hint of excitement.

Scarlett listened and asked, "Which one?"

Last time, Scarlett sold Alicia two talismans, one for warding off backstabbers and the other for attracting unwanted suitors.

"Both worked."

Alicia whispered, "The one who tried to set me up approached me again pretending to have coincidentally run into me. But he didn’t notice when he stepped on a broken manhole cover and fell."

Alicia couldn’t help but laugh when she said, "You wouldn’t believe how awful he smelled when he was pulled out."

Scarlett wasn’t surprised by the effectiveness of her talismans, nor did she feel any sympathy.

After all, for the anti-backstabbing talisman to work, the person must harbor malice.

Alicia was clearly aware of this, so she felt no sympathy for the other person’s "bad luck," but she did call 119 to get the man rescued.

"After he was taken to the hospital, I specifically followed. And sure enough, he called my sister in the hospital, saying it was a work injury and demanding she cover medical and emotional damages."

Alicia didn’t actually give her sister money in the hospital, but she recorded the man calling her.

These recordings were for dealing with Chloe Sharp later, though Alicia didn’t go into detail with Scarlett.

The conversation turned to the unwanted suitor talisman.

Alicia had put a bit of effort into getting the talisman placed on Chloe, and she even had someone keep an eye on things afterward.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Chloe was courted by a second-generation rich boy in their circle.

Alicia knew him as someone who played around, switching girlfriends more often than clothes, and somehow he had become entangled with Chloe, pestering her for several days.

The only regret Alicia had was that Chloe was rather protective of her reputation, so she clearly rejected the second-generation rich boy.

"I haven’t seen him these past two days, so he must’ve given up."

Although Alicia didn’t get to see her dear stepsister mired in suitors, her embarrassment over being pestered for a few days made Alicia feel the five thousand dollars was well spent.

Scarlett didn’t find Alicia’s enjoyment of her stepsister’s awkward situation inappropriate.

After all, everything was relative.

If Chloe hadn’t initially wanted to see Alicia humiliated, Alicia wouldn’t have the chance to see her in this predicament.

As Scarlett idly scanned the guests, her gaze suddenly fell on a young girl chatting with Azura Loomis not far away.

"Is that your stepsister?" Scarlett queried Alicia with a tilt of her chin.

In such settings, if Alicia was present, Chloe would naturally follow along too.

Although most times, Chloe would tag alongside her parents, being their well-behaved child.

Alicia was impressed that Scarlett recognized her unfortunate sister at a glance, "Yes, how did you know? Did you figure it out by her face?"

Alicia had genuinely developed an interest in geomancy and metaphysics.

She heard Scarlett reply nonchalantly, "No, I saw her following you both when you entered and guessed."

Alicia: ...

"Ha, I see," Alicia laughed it off.

Then Scarlett abruptly raised an eyebrow, with a tone of certainty, "However, from her facial features, the color of her unwanted suitor predicament looks very vibrant; it’s not like it’s been given up as you said."

Alicia: ????

Could her drama still have a second act?
