The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 288 A Test Of Choices

Andrew, having teased Aaron and Leon, decided he no longer wished to engage in conversation with them. Aaron, sensing the shift, decided to change the topic. A question had been nagging at him. "Master Shawn is taking us to the night market later. What should we do if we see something we want?" He asked, noting that since their phones had been confiscated, they had no means to purchase anything. Others chimed in, "Yeah. What should we do if we want to buy something?" All eyes turned to Jonah, who was sitting quietly in the corner. After a moment of contemplation, Jonah responded, "I'll have my assistant accompany you when the time comes. If you find something you like, our program team will cover the cost. You can reimburse the program team after the variety show ends." The group was unable to retrieve their phones. Simone, with a smile, said, "That's a good idea. We appreciate your help, Jonah." Jonah waved his hand dismissively, "No trouble at all." He was also intrigued and wanted to explore the night market himself. Having heard about the night market from Bailey earlier in the day, he had specifically asked his assistant to gather information about this unique geomancy night market. He learned that one needed a guide to enter; otherwise, not only would you fail to locate it, but you would also be denied entry. Listening to the conversation, Andrew turned to Aaron. "Why do you refer to him as Master Shawn?" Aaron replied, "We seemed to have forgotten to introduce him earlier. Our new guest is a master of geomancy, hence the title Master Shawn." Simone chimed in, "That's correct. He is a highly skilled geomancy master, and he is also my senior." Knowing Andrew's character, she anticipated that he would seek Bailey's help with his misfortunes. She was eager to see his choice. Simone hadn't previously disclosed this information to the group. Upon hearing it now, everyone was taken aback. They hadn't expected her to have such a connection with the new guest. As expected, Andrew's interest was piqued. He turned to Bailey and said, "Master Shawn, could you assist me? I understand that geomancy masters like you have certain rules, and fortune-telling and physiognomy require compensation. I promise to compensate you after the variety show ends." He was desperate to rid himself of the bad luck that had been plaguing him. Although the bracelet Jo had given him had improved his situation, he yearned for a permanent solution. If Simone hadn't intervened, he would have sought the help of another powerful geomancy master. However, since this person was Simone's senior and came highly recommended by her, he must be very competent. Upon hearing Andrew's request, Jodie, who was sitting next to him, felt a pang of anxiety. She silently cursed him for his indiscretion. Why would he ask such questions during a live broadcast? Couldn't he have approached Bailey privately for physiognomy? Was Bailey truly capable? She also considered the implications of the live broadcast. Even if the other party noticed something, they probably wouldn't mention it. Bailey was also taken aback by the unexpected request for help with physiognomy. After a moment of thought, he turned to Jonah. "Since we are live, am I allowed to assist?" Jonah couldn't have been happier; he was eager to create some excitement. He responded with a smile, "Absolutely. There are many live rooms dedicated to physiognomy, so it's not against the rules." In other words, he was giving Bailey the green light. Andrew reassured Bailey, "Master Shawn, don't worry. There's absolutely no problem." Bailey responded with a faint smile. "As long as there's no problem. Since we are on a variety show together, it can be considered fate. I'll take a look for you. However, my fee for physiognomy is quite steep, 750 thousand for one reading. If you want a resolution, there will be an additional charge." He asked, "Are you sure you want me to take a look?" This revelation surprised many people present. Is physiognomy really that expensive? It's a bit intimidating. Simone added, "Given his abilities, this price is within the reasonable range in the geomancy circle." If he had truly reached the Divine state, even if it was three million per reading, there would still be plenty of wealthy and influential people willing to pay him. And it also depended on whether he was willing or not. Bailey nodded in agreement. "When I used to do readings for others, the starting price was always this." Andrew was taken aback for a moment. "If it's for resolution, how much would it cost?" Bailey replied, "It depends on the situation, but it won't be less than 750 thousand." He wouldn't bother for anything less than 750 thousand. And at his level, he had long been indifferent to worldly wealth. Many wealthy people came to him with money, and he would refuse most of them based on his mood. Now, because he participated in this variety show and this person took the initiative to ask, he decided to play along. After hearing this price, Andrew, although feeling it was expensive, became even more convinced of Bailey's true abilities. Simone had sold talismans to Titus for 750 thousand each. Since he wanted to spend 750 thousand, she wouldn't sell it to him. Therefore, he said to Bailey, "No problem. After the variety show ends, I will reward you, and you can take a look for me." Bailey's gaze fell on Andrew's face. Everyone also looked at the two of them. The audience in the live room also watched with great curiosity, and no one sent any live chat messages. With just a careful glance at Andrew, Bailey already knew everything. "Everyone knows about your background. You had a smooth life for over twenty years before, so I won't mention it." He continued, "The turning point in your career starts when you seize an opportunity from someone else. You do it before the other person, so you succeed. After that, you have a successful career and gain fame and fortune." Hearing this, Andrew became even more convinced of Bailey. After entering the industry, he followed Jo's advice and bought a script before another director did. It turned out to be a huge success. This laid the foundation for him to become the youngest and most promising director in the country. Only he and Jo knew about this. Jodie's heart skipped a beat. This person really had some skills. She wondered if he would be able to see through her luck as well. Probably not. Seeing that Andrew didn't refute, everyone understood that Bailey was accurate. At the same time, their opinion of Andrew's character sank even lower. Their curiosity was piqued, and they were eager to hear more. He continued, "Have you had a string of bad luck recently? Choking on water, choking on food, and even falling while walking." Andrew nodded. "Yes. Very unlucky. Can you explain why I've been so unlucky?" After asking this question, Simone shifted her gaze to Bailey. She could see the connection between Andrew and Jodie. With his abilities, she expected him to see it, too. She wondered if he would reveal it. He said to Andrew, "Because you gave away one-third of your luck." He glanced at Jodie and added, "Didn't you give your luck to her? She has suffered a great loss of luck before, so she asks you for some luck, and you agree. There is a connection between the two of you, so after you agree, the luck is transferred to her." He pointed to the bracelet on Andrew's wrist and said, "The reason you haven't had any bad luck in the past few days is because of this mystical tool." Andrew looked at him in shock and said, "You're truly amazing." This also meant that he admitted to giving his luck to Jodie. Jodie's face stiffened, feeling extremely uncomfortable. In her mind, she cursed Andrew. He casually revealed and admitted it. How would everyone look at her? So, she said in shock, "Ah. Is it really possible? I heard from a friend before that if you're unlucky, you can ask someone close to you to borrow some luck. That way, you won't be so unlucky." She made a surprised expression again. "But he didn't tell me that after borrowing it, the borrower would have bad luck."
