Chapter 328 The Confrontation
The vibrant streets of Cubilis were lined with antique shops and bustling stalls. Simone’s group found the management office and rented a temporary stall. Aaron and Leon, following Simone’s instructions, procured a table and chairs for the stall, as well as a piece of white cloth to serve as a banner.
The production team supplied ink and brushes.
Simone turned to Bailey and said, “Bailey, I’ll entrust the writing on the white cloth to you.” She was curious to see his handwriting and the emotions it might reveal.
Bailey felt a twinge of annoyance; this girl seemed to enjoy testing him. After a moment’s thought, he agreed, “Alright, I’ll write. He picked up the brush, chipped it in ink, and wrote. “Physiognomy and Divination.
Simone watched him intently. His elegant, graceful posture while writing reminded her of ancient scholars. The characters he wrote were bold and captivating, a testament to his skill.
“Such beautiful handwriting she exclaimed, then added with a smile. Your handwriting suggests years of practice.”
Bailey responded with a smile, “You flatter me, Simone!”
Aaron and Leon, intrigued by the exchange, came over to examine the writing. Despite their limited knowledge of calligraphy, they could appreciate the quality of Bailey’s work.
Owen, a calligraphy enthusiast himself, admitted that Bailey’s work surpassed the ancient calligraphy and paintings in his collection. What a fascinating man he is
The live-stream viewers were equally impressed, showering Bailey’s handwriting with praise. Even a calligraphy master commended his work, and several art collectors expressed interest in purchasing the white cloth banner.
At the scene. Simone instructed Aaron and Leon to hang the banner and then turned to Baley. Would you like to go first, or should I?”
Bailey replied with a smile, “You can go first. I rarely do physiognomy readings for others and haven’t done divination for years. I’ll take over when you’re tired. Let’s just go with the flow.”
Simone wasn’t surprised by his response. She nodded and said, “Alright. Just don’t judge me too harshly” She then wrote a message on a piece of white paper: “Variety show live-streaming. 15 dollars per physiognomy fortune-telling session if you don’t mind disclosing your identity and details. She asked Aaron to attach the paper to a wooden castanet.
Bailey, intrigued by Simone’s writing, complimented, “Simone, your handwriting is quite good. It’s unique and has an elegant, lively charm. He added, “It seems impossible to achieve such a style without years of practice”
Simone’s writing indeed had a solid foundation, which seemed beyond the capability of a girl in her
She responded with a light smile. “You flauer me, Bailey”
She had intentionally mirrored his earlier compliment, and he noticed.
Aaron and Leon, oblivious to their subtle exchange, asked. “Can we start now?
Simone nodded. Yes. You guys just handle the money collection.”
They didn’t mind. In fact, they were relieved to have a task. “Okay, we’ll collect the money!” They were eager to contribute, fearing that Simone might dismiss them if they were idle.
Their combination of good looks and charm quickly attracted a crowil. However, initially, no one stepped forward for a physiognomy reading: they were still observing and assessing.
During this time. Aaron fetched a set of tea from the production team and brewed a cup for Simone and Bailey. Not to be outdone, Leon bought some popular tea snacks and placed them in front of Simone. Aaron, seeing this, found a fan and began fanning Simone like a servant
The excessive flattery and servility made Titus and the other live-stream viewers cringe. Aaron is becoming more like a lapdog-
Salma, watching from a distance, felt a pang of jealousy. Her son had never served her like this. She had never received such attention from him, not even a cup of water. Her resentment towards her biological daughter intensified.
She secretly cursed Aaron and Leon for their shameless attempts to win Simone’s favor. They were acting like servants, a disgrace to their prestigious family.
She recorded a video of the scene and sent it to her husband, along with a message: ‘Look at your rson. He’s acting like a servant, embarrassing himself.
Steven, watching the live-stream in the hospital with Andrew, was taken aback by his wife’s message. “He’s just helping his sister. How is that being a servant? Besides, their group relies on Simone to make money, What he’s doing is not wrong!
Salma was furious at his response. He’s serving Simone. Isn’t that being a servant?
Steven was at a loss for words, “You’ve been disapproving of Simone lately, so whatever they do, you find fault with it. Can’t you stop causing trouble for no reason? You’re still a mother. Be more understanding”
Salma was livid. I raised my son not to be at the service of others!
Steven retorted, Why are we arguing so much as a family? You’ve become increasingly unreasonable lately?
He decided to have a serious talk with Leon. Salma was becoming more like Melinda, petty and troublesome. He needed to put an end to their interactions, or their family would be in turmoil.
Meanwhile, Salma was seething. All men in this family are unreliable! They betrayed me!
As Melinda had warned, she couldn’t rely on these men or her daughter. They needed to be dealt with.
In Cebros, Melinda watched the video Salma had sent her. Seeing her son serving Summone like a servant, whale Simone renamed cold and indifferent, infuriate her. What a disgrace!
She had never been served like this, even as a mother Who did Simone think she was? Thus only deepened her resentiment towards Simone. Not only had Simone harmed Jorlie, but she had also ensnared her son.
Melinda decided to teach this little vixen a lesson. She would expose Simone as a fraud during the live fortune-telling session and humiliate her in front of everyone. Let’s see how proud this little vixen will be then!
Melinda stumbled upon a recent social media post by her nephew, taken in Cubilis. Intrigued, she decided to reach out to him
Upon receiving her call, her nephew reassured Melinda that he would provide any assistance she needed.
Cubilis was teeming with life, its streets bustling with activity.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Simone and her friends had set up a stall there.
After a young woman in her twenties approached them. She sat down before Simone and smiled, asking “Simone, could you help me with something?
Simone responded with a smile. We’re currently live-streaming a variety show, so we’ll write the predictions on paper. Is that acceptable to you?” The woman shrugged and replied, “I don’t mind.”
She then took out 15 dollars and placed it on the table.
Simone sought her permission. “May I begin by reading your face? The woman was intrigued to see if Simone could accurately predict her situation without her revealing anything.
She agreed, saying. Sure” Simone studied her and said. “You hail from a wealthy family and are an only chuld. At the age of fifteen, you had a near-drowning experience. Since then, life has been smooth sailing for you. After graduating from university, you successfully started a business with your friends, and now you’re self-employed. Things are going well for you, both in terms of family and career. In your love life, you have a boyfriend, and you’re even planning to get married.”
The woman was taken aback and said, “That’s true. It’s incredible how you knew about my near- drowning incident when I was fifteen. And you even knew that my boyfriend and I are planning to get married. We just discussed this yesterday, and even my family isn’t aware yet.”
She was genuinely surprised as she had decided to have her fortune told on a whim.
Therefore, Simone couldn’t have known her situation beforehand.
She had approached Simone simply because she liked her and noticed that no one else was seeking a fortune reading.
Since the woman had nothing to hide, she wasn’t afraid of being exposed, and she merely wanted to give Simone a good start. Little did she know that without revealing any information, Simone was able to tell her everything.
Simone was truly remarkable.
Simone smiled and asked, “Which aspect would you like me to read?”
The woman pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s explore my marriage. I want to know when would be a good time for me and my boyfriend to get married.”
Samone replied, “Do you have a photo of your boyfriend? I’d like to examine it before giving you ani
