Jodie felt compelled to step forward and clarify her position. She feared that her silence might lead others to believe she was exploiting them, making them wary of her presence. She didn't want Andrew to discover that she was aware of the impending misfortune that would befall him after she borrowed his luck. She also wished to avoid any misunderstandings with Zac and Bailey. Aaron, observing Jodie's surprised expression, concluded that she was a master of pretense. He thought her acting skills were so impressive that they would be wasted if she didn't pursue a career in the entertainment industry. He wasn't sure if others were convinced by her act, but he certainly wasn't. He was convinced that she knew about the impending misfortune that would befall Andrew. Zac, too, was skeptical. "Your words sound like a desperate attempt to conceal something," he accused. "You're rushing to explain because you feel guilty." Simone was about to interject, but Zac had already voiced her thoughts, leaving her speechless. Jodie was at a loss for words. Why is it always Zac who opposes me? Why does he always have to be the one to challenge me? Even when he's silent, no one treats him as if he's mute. She looked hurt. "I didn't know. I truly didn't." Zac laughed dismissively, "Well, I don't believe you. I suspect most people here share my skepticism." He glanced pointedly at Andrew. "At this point, only a fool would believe your story." Andrew was also taken aback. Why is he looking at me like that? I shouldn't have any doubts, so his insinuations must be baseless. However, he didn't want to harbor any negative thoughts about Jo. He quickly changed the subject and turned to Bailey. "Master Shawn, can you help rectify this situation?" Bailey raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to resolve this?" Andrew replied, "Absolutely. I don't want to be plagued by bad luck anymore." Bailey responded ominously, "Resolving this won't be straightforward." Andrew frowned. "Is it that difficult to resolve? If I continue to wear this mystical artifact, can I avoid further misfortune?" If wearing it could ward off bad luck, he was willing to accept the difficulty of resolving the situation. Simone, for once, commended Sc*mbag No. 4 for asking the right question. However, this caused Jodie's expression to falter slightly. She was well aware of the bracelet's limited effectiveness and the consequences of its expiration. She looked pleadingly at Bailey, silently begging him not to reveal the truth in front of everyone and on the live broadcast. She couldn't let Andrew find out. Would he still trust her if he knew the truth? She didn't want Andrew to end up like Titus, Luca, and Aaron. Bailey noticed Jodie's silent plea but chose to ignore it. He chuckled and turned to Andrew. "Do you really believe this mystical artifact can protect you indefinitely? If that were the case, wouldn't everyone be able to borrow or lend luck?" Andrew felt a pang of anxiety and asked, "Master Shawn, are you saying that this mystical artifact cannot maintain its effectiveness forever?" Bailey nodded. "Exactly." "Not only does it lose its effectiveness over time, but it also brings about a period of intensified misfortune." Andrew was taken aback. "Why? I've been less unlucky since I started wearing it." Bailey explained, "That's because this artifact temporarily suppresses your misfortune." "It can only suppress your misfortune for a month." "After a month, it becomes ineffective." "And during this month, the suppressed misfortune will rebound and return to you." "As a result, your misfortune will double or even quadruple." Andrew's face paled. "Will it really be that bad?" He had been oblivious to this, and the revelation was shocking. He had previously cherished this bracelet, but now he felt a sense of unease about it. Bailey replied, "Every action has its consequences." "You lent your luck to your sister, and as a result, you lost it." "It's impossible to sustain your luck through external means." Andrew was starting to panic. "Are you saying that if I lend out a third of my luck, no matter what I do, I will always be unlucky in the future?" Bailey nodded. "Yes." "To be precise, your misfortune won't always be as severe as it is now." "For the next twenty or thirty years, you will be slightly less unlucky than you were before wearing the bracelet." "After that, your luck will gradually improve." Andrew was speechless. He was already on the brink of despair after just twenty days of bad luck. The prospect of enduring this for the next twenty or thirty years was enough to drive him mad. He asked anxiously, "What will happen if my misfortune intensifies after I stop wearing the bracelet?" Bailey looked at Andrew's anxious face. "Based on your fortune, after the bracelet loses its effectiveness, you will suffer a serious car accident, adding insult to injury." "You will be bedridden for at least two to three months." "In the hospital, you will also experience a series of unfortunate events, such as a nurse accidentally spilling hot water on you or bumping into sharp objects and injuring yourself." "Choking on water or food will become a daily occurrence for you." "You won't die, but you'll experience a series of misfortunes that will leave you barely alive.""Wearing a bracelet to suppress bad luck for a month usually results in three to four times the rebound effect." "In other words, your extremely unlucky state will take three to four months to improve." Andrew fell silent. His scalp tingled as he listened to Bailey's words. The others couldn't help but sympathize with Andrew. He was in a terrible predicament, but it seemed he had brought it upon himself by willingly lending his luck to Jodie. Aaron, as well as Luca and Titus, who were watching the livestream, felt relieved that they hadn't fallen for Jodie's ploy. They had experienced the kind of misfortune that could drive a person to madness. Andrew looked at Simone in disbelief. He wasn't sure whether to believe Bailey's words or not. Simone raised an eyebrow. "He's absolutely right. His predictions didn't fail me either." She was impressed by his ability to foresee all the misfortunes that would befall Sc*mbag No. 4. What surprised her was that he had revealed everything in front of everyone. He had exposed Jodie's lies and revealed the truth about the bracelet's rebound effect. In doing so, he had put Jodie in the spotlight. She wasn't sure if he was indifferent to Jodie or if he was intentionally trying to unsettle her by betraying Jodie in front of her. Andrew knew Simone well. If she said it was true, then it was. If she said it wasn't, then it wasn't. If that was the case, it meant he was truly doomed to a life of misfortune.He turned to Jodie and said, "Jo, when you gave me this bracelet, you didn't mention any of this." "You told me it was a lucky charm and that you didn't want to see me suffer from bad luck, so you gave it to me." "You assured me that once I wore it, I wouldn't experience any more misfortune." "Now tell me, why does this thing only work for a month?" "And why is it that after a month, I'll face even more misfortune?" He had personally experienced that kind of misfortune, and the mere thought of it was terrifying. The prospect of facing even greater misfortune was enough to ruin his life. Had Jo been deceiving him all along? He found it hard to accept this reality. Therefore, he wanted to hear her explanation.
