Felix wasn't the only one who suspected something was wrong with the IV drip. Tommy and Julian shared the same concerns. Therefore, they refrained from immediately calling the doctor when Felix was recovering. Simone explained, "The IV drip itself is fine, but that's also the problem." Felix was confused. "What do you mean?" Simone replied, "The medication in the drip is fine, but it's causing an allergic reaction. Talk about a streak of bad luck." "It's a severe allergy that could be fatal." "At this point, there's nothing you can do except believe that you're truly unlucky." Felix shuddered upon hearing this. He never imagined that his bad luck could lead to a severe allergic reaction. He asked, "Can you figure out why I'm experiencing such bad luck?" He hadn't gotten into any trouble with anyone recently, and no one in his family would fight him over his inheritance. Who could be behind all this? Simone carefully examined Felix, and her gaze eventually fell on the jade ring he was wearing on his thumb. "Take off this ring and let me take a look." Felix didn't hesitate to remove the ring and hand it to her. "Could this be the problem?" Simone glanced at it and confirmed that the ring had been tampered with. It was concealing some sort of negative energy. "Gentlemen, let me show you something." Simone took out various tools from her bag and swiftly crafted a talisman on the spot. Then, she placed the talisman on the table beside the sick bed and placed the ring on top of it.As soon as the ring touched the talisman, a faint wisp of black smoke emanated from it. The talisman ignited and quickly turned to ashes. The once translucent jade ring now had an eerie dark red tint in its center after the talisman had completely burned. An unpleasant rotten smell instantly filled the ward. Julian switched on the air purifier to dispel the foul odor in the room. Simone turned to Felix and asked, "Did you start wearing this half a month ago? How did you come across it?" Felix nodded. "Yes, I began wearing it half a month ago." Then, he looked at Tommy, who was seated beside him. "Where did you get this, Tommy?" Tommy answered with a hint of seriousness on his face, "I bought it from my wife's cousin at an antique auction house." "My wife told me that her cousin had acquired a shipment of ancient jade at her auction house about half a month ago, and she invited me to take a look." "Her cousin recommended this jade ring to me when I visited." "I liked the fact that the jade ring was translucent and made of high-quality jade, so I decided to buy it." "Her cousin told me that wearing it would bring greatness, so I put it on the same day." He looked at Felix and continued, "Little did I know that you also took a liking to it the next day. So, I gave it to you." "It seems like you've saved me by taking all the bad luck upon yourself." Tommy would have lived a life full of pain and guilt if his younger brother had died due to this incident. However, Felix only breathed a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing that I'm the only one affected. It would have been more troublesome if it were you.""After all, you and Zac don't meet each other that frequently. Zac wouldn't have sensed anything wrong and asked Simone for help if it were you." He genuinely felt happy that he had spared his older brother from a calamity. Tommy was moved and said, "I wouldn't have made it if it weren't for you." Then, he looked at Simone and asked, "Is this what the ring originally looked like, Master Gray?" Simone nodded and replied, "Yes, it was tampered with before. The dark red tint and negative energy it carries were intentionally concealed." "This ring likely originated from an ancient tomb." "Someone deliberately soaked this ring in the blood of the deceased before placing it back on the occupant of that tomb." "That tomb was also tampered with. The good geomancy of the tomb was transformed into a desolate one for unknown reasons.""The jade ring now harbors some sort of grudge and is entwined with negative energy after being taken from such a place." She turned to Felix and explained, "The fact that you are still alive is a blessing. It must be due to all the good deeds that you and your family have done in the past." "An ordinary person would have succumbed within seven days." "The car accident you had before might not have been just an injury. It could've been the end of your life." "Furthermore, you might have used up the last bit of your blessing during the car accident." "That's why you are now influenced by the negative energy of the ring, and bad things are happening to you in quick succession." Felix didn't appear to be someone who would die young if nothing bad had happened to him.However, he could have faced an entirely different fate if Zac hadn't brought Simone along today. She had gone to the set arranged by Sc*mbag No. 2 to film around this time in her previous life. Later on, she heard that the president of Star Entertainment had an accident and someone had replaced him. They didn't specify the exact time back then, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Simone realized that it must have happened today now that she thought about it. If she hadn't been here today, she wouldn't have realized that Felix's premature death was intentionally orchestrated. Felix's face turned even paler, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous. "And I've been wearing this for half a month." After all, the ring was soaked in the blood of the tomb's owner. Not only did it make him feel nauseous, but the thought of it also made him shiver in fear. Felix would definitely avoid wearing thumb rings for a while. Then, he said to Tommy, "This was intentionally designed to conceal its appearance, Tommy. The person who obtained it must be aware of this." "The fact that you bought it could be either a coincidence or someone wanted you to have it." Tommy's face darkened as he replied, "I don't believe in coincidences." "I was basically forced to go to the auction that day. I didn't want to go there." Felix's expression instantly turned ugly. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Could it be Gianna?" Gianna had always shown love and affection towards Tommy. She seemed to prioritize his well-being more than her own. Could it all have been an act? But Tommy didn't feel like she was pretending. Then, Tommy shook his head and said, "There's no way Gianna would do this." He continued, "I'm not so sure about her cousin, though." "Jane Fordson, an expert in jade, persistently recommended this ring to me that day," Felix said, narrowing his eyes. "She even claimed it would bring good luck. Was she trying to harm me?" Felix immediately knew who his brother was referring to. "Could it be that she did it for her brother's business? I heard she's assisting her eldest brother in the company and has already acquired several other jewelry companies." "Didn't she also use her exceptional gambling skills to obtain some high-quality jades recently? She's overshadowing the master gambler in your company. As the president of the largest jewelry company in the country, you're likely seen as a threat." "If anything were to happen to you, Reich Group would be in serious trouble.""On the other hand, her family's jewelry company would benefit from your downfall and potentially rise to the top." "Furthermore, she could solidify her position in the Fordson Family by helping them surpass or even acquire Reich Group." "If that were to happen, even if the daughter of the Fordson Family were to be found and return, she would have no power." Tommy didn't want to believe that Jane had orchestrated all of this. However, someone who had successfully undermined the biological daughter of the Fordson Family was certainly not to be underestimated. He had once witnessed her ruthlessness by chance. She was completely different from her usual self. Initially, Simone had been merely listening to their gossip, but Felix's words caught her attention.
