Chapter 382 This Must Be Intentional

• Lately, Melinda has been under immense stress due to her family's problems. Her brothers were both arrested, and only one was eventually released. Their company was shut down, and her eldest brother was now facing legal consequences. Even with the best lawyer, she knew he would still go to jail. Her nephew and niece had also been dealing with various troubles. Her brother was severely beaten by the husband's family for having an affair with a married woman, resulting in a broken leg. She couldn't do anything to help Banny either. Yesterday, she received news that her other two nephews went overseas to gamble. In the end, they lost tens of millions and were now being held hostage by the other party. If they didn't repay the money, their lives would be in danger. The Stewards were in complete chaos now. Her mother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces cried to her every day, asking for her help. They even asked her to provide money to rescue the two nephews. Melinda had already given almost all her money to the warlock. Now, she couldn't even come up with a million, let alone ten times that. When she called her husband, he was on a field trip to a mining area. The signal there was very poor, and she couldn't get through to him. This made her extremely frustrated as she continued to search for her husband while comforting her family.
• She later found out that both the Johnston Family and the Gray Family had a hand in suppressing the Stewards. That was why her eldest brother was taken away so quickly. She also suspected that her brother being beaten up and her two nephews being deceived into gambling were also related to the Johnstons and the Gray Family. So, she despised Salma to the core. Because the warlock told her that Salma had already been cursed. That's why she has been keeping an eye on the Gray Family since returning to Cebros. She heard that Salma suddenly developed red spots all over her body, almost disfiguring her, and it couldn't be cured. She felt a sense of joy and satisfaction. That wretched woman would probably never have the dignity to attend social gatherings again. For a high-profile lady like Salma, this was a huge torment. She never actually thought about killing Salma, as it would only bring her trouble. After all, if Salma died, the Johnstons and the Gray Family would not only suppress the Stewards, but they would also come after her. So, she was quite content with the current situation. Especially when she heard that the Gray Family hired several geomancy masters but still couldn't remove the curse. She was even more delighted. She was very pleased with the warlock and felt that the money was well spent.
• However, before she could enjoy her happiness for long, people from a special department came knocking on her door. Melinda naturally denied hiring a warlock to harm others, instead blaming Mrs. Gray for framing her. Because Melinda used a different phone card to contact the warlock. So, after the special department checked her communication records, they found no evidence. Therefore, it couldn't be proven that she had bribed the warlock. They only made Melinda stay in Cebros recently, ready to be investigated at any time, but they didn't take her away. Melinda breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she called the warlock with another phone. She asked the warlock not to come to Cebros for now and to postpone dealing with Simone's matter. Otherwise, if the warlock was caught by the special department when they came, it would implicate her. The warlock naturally did not object and said that when they could come, she would contact him. Melinda also inquired about the poison. The warlock guaranteed it. Even the geomancy association's master who went to Cebros couldn't remove the poison from Mrs. Gray's body. Because that thing was raised by his master, and only a few practitioners could force it out. At that time, he also put his master's poison on Mrs. Gray, just in case. Unless a Celestial Master who achieved the Divine State took action, it was impossible to remove it. In this way, he could not only successfully complete the employer's task but also enhance his reputation. Because he needed a lot of money to refine a kind of corpse puppet. So, he wanted to use this matter to make more people spend money to hire him. Melinda felt relieved after hearing this. As long as the poison on Salma couldn't be removed, it was fine. She heard that it not only disfigured her but also caused pain and itching, which was unpleasant. But if Salma was suffering, she would feel happy.
