Upon witnessing the disappointment and unhappiness in her husband's eyes, Salma felt even more aggrieved. Her eyes welled up with tears as she said, "I simply wanted Simone to revert back to being the obedient and considerate daughter she used to be." "What's wrong with having such hope? The difference between her current cold-heartedness and her past self is too significant. So, I suspect that she has been influenced by something negative, isn't that correct?" Aaron said speechlessly, "Can you really believe Melinda's words? Mom, were you out of your mind at that time? Simone is only this cold-hearted because we forced her to be. Mom, you need to wake up quickly." Listening to her son's words, she still didn't think she was wrong. Melinda had never liked Simone, so why would she be so kind as to help? Furthermore, with Simone becoming like this, didn't his mother have any doubts? He didn't truly believe it. And he believed even more that his mother impulsively agreed to Melinda because she was venting her anger on Simone during that time. But deep down, she should have been able to suspect that Melinda had ill intentions. However, she couldn't have possibly wanted to harm Simone; she just wanted to teach her a lesson. Titus also chimed in, "Mom, don't bother hiding your little schemes; we all know." Andrew said, "Mom, you're becoming more and more like Jodie, always blaming others." Luca also disapproved, looking at his own mother, "Mom, what you did this time was too much. We can't support you." Upon hearing her sons' words, Salma was so angry that she stumbled backwards. Except for the eldest son, who was away on a business trip, the remaining four sons all blamed her. She felt like she had raised these children for nothing. Frustrated, she said, "I genuinely didn't know about this at the time, believe it or not." "Back then, you didn't hesitate to side with Jodie against Simone, right? Now you suddenly want to be a good person." "But you also need her acceptance!" Steven frowned, "You went to the ancient city, talked to Simone, came back, and then you complained to me, saying that Simone cursed you. From the looks of it, if you continue to associate with Melinda, you will face calamity. Now, isn't it coming true? It shows that Simone saw the problem back then and even warned you. But you didn't believe her and instead directed your anger toward her. Whose fault is that? Your current situation is also a result of your past actions." Salma felt a bit guilty, "How would I know that she was really trying to warn me?" At that time, she was angry and thought that her own daughter was not only mocking her but also cursing her. That was why she couldn't listen. Now, she regretted it. She should have listened to Simone's warning and stayed away from that despicable person, Melinda. Steven sighed. "So, now we are ashamed to ask her for help." His wife was truly confused. Salma panicked. "What should I do now? I'm feeling more and more uncomfortable. Do I have a skin disease, or have I been cursed? I've been with you all this time, and I haven't gone out since we returned to Cebros. Logically, it shouldn't be some sorcerer targeting me, right?" She hoped in her heart that it was just a skin disease and that she could go to the hospital and get better. She was also holding onto a glimmer of hope. Just then, Steven's assistant sent a photo. This was what Steven had asked the person to investigate. He opened it and showed it to his wife. "Have you ever met this person before?" Salma leaned over to take a look, and then her expression changed. "I have seen him. I ran into him in the elevator when I was returning to the hotel that day. When I was leaving, he accidentally bumped into me." Because of his appearance and the collision, she had some recollection of him. She wanted to cry, "Could this person be the sorcerer?" Steven's words shattered Salma's last glimmer of hope."He is the sorcerer Melinda hired," he said with a headache. "It seems that you have been cursed." He really didn't expect that his wife would be cursed during the time she went to the hotel. Salma became even more panicked and grabbed her husband, asking, "What should I do? If I continue like this, how can I go out and see people in the future?" She had just looked in the mirror and was horrified. Her face was covered in patches of red, especially terrifying, almost like disfigurement. She thought of another question, "Besides this, will I die?" She heard that many sorcerers were quite ruthless. Could it be that they would want to take her life? Steven gave her a reassuring look. "They shouldn't want to take your life; otherwise, your face and body wouldn't be like this." Instead, you would already be dead."I'll go and find a feng shui master to help you." The feng shui master of the Gray Family had been dismissed, but other conglomerates had also hired feng shui masters. He had to put on a serious face and find someone through his connections. Salma was at a loss, "Alright, hurry up then." Then, Steven made a phone call and, through a good friend, managed to find a feng shui master. He had Titus drive to pick up the person. After the arrival of the person, Salma was examined. It was evident that something was wrong with her, as if she had been poisoned by a curse. However, despite trying various methods, they were unable to expel the worms.They could only apologize and admit their powerlessness. Steven had no choice but to continue and contact other feng shui masters. Several masters came one after another to help Salma. The results were all the same, confirming that she had been cursed, but the worms inside her were strong, and they couldn't force them out. Using force to remove them could potentially harm Salma and even lead to her demise. In other words, neither Steven nor Salma dared to resort to such methods. Steven had no choice but to contact the special department and the feng shui association. He reported that Melinda had bribed a sorcerer to harm his wife. Now that his wife had fallen victim to the curse, the special department and the feng shui association should investigate and take action. The intrusion of mystical arts practitioners from outside the city fell within the jurisdiction of both departments. As a result, they dispatched people to investigate. However, they were also unable to help Salma. Due to the Gray Family's status and influence, as well as their obligation to intervene in this matter, they made a promise to invite an expert in the study of curses from the ancient city to Cebros in order to assist Salma. This brought relief to both Steven and Salma. Salma was desperate to eliminate the worms infesting her body, as the very idea of them repulsed and terrified her. Unfortunately, the specialist was currently situated in the historic city, meaning they would have to endure a two-day wait for their arrival. She had no choice but to remain patient and bide her time. In the interim, the specialized department adhered to the appropriate protocol and approached Melinda to gather information.
