He Traded His Lucky Charm for a Fraud Chapter 8
No longer intending to watch the rest of the drama, Damien turned me away from the scene with a gentle but firm tug.I looked down instinctively to see Adrien, who was all nestled up in Damien's other arm, fast asleep.A teasing remark slipped from my lips. "I wonder how Adrien can manage to sleep so soundly despite the noise."Damien rearranged Adrien's posture so that the latter could sleep more comfortably. That was when I noticed the tiny earplugs that were stuffed in Adrien's ears.Clearly, Damien was the one who had prepared those earplugs in advance. No wonder Adrien slept like a baby.Then again, Damien had always been this meticulous and observant.As I watched him holding our son, his tall, steady figure silhouetted against the light, memories I had deliberately buried came flooding back."Damien, why didn't you tell me about the truth behind those thugs?"Damien's arms constricted around Adrien for a moment. At the same time, he stopped in his tracks.He didn't look

Maisie's beautiful eyes went wide with shock. She kept staring at Silas unblinkingly afterward."Are you seriously helping those bastards drag my name through the mud as well, Silas? Have you forgotten that I was the one who helped you achieve this level of success throughout these years?"Silas just looked at Maisie wearily."Was I, though? The truth is, I did suspect you several times over the years, Maisie."He took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the onlookers as if he were convincing himself to spill the beans."Every time I brought up the complicated details in my dreams, you were always scrolling through your phone impatiently. Yet you could still recall those key details accurately. It was as if you were… memorizing the answers that were available to you."Then, he pointed at me. "Whenever Cassiopeia performed a dreamwalking session on me, she'd ask me many questions about the details in my dream. Then, she'd keep bringing up countless predictions while reminding me

"Maisie Caldwell, you've been lying to me this whole fucking time?"Silas turned to stare at Maisie, as though he got to know her real colors for the very first time."N-No, I didn't! It's fabricated! Someone edited that footage!"Maisie kept denying it. She tried to snatch the tablet out of Damien's hands, only for his assistant to stop her effortlessly."Sile, you gotta believe me! How could I ever… It's all Cassiopeia's fault! She's jealous of me, you see! She's the one framing me! Sile, you know very well just how talented I am at dreamwalking!"Having failed to steal the tablet, Maisie tried to grab Silas' arm again, only to be shaken off by him forcefully."She framed you, you say? Ms. Caldwell, you're the one who stole another person's fruits of labor and got to live a comfortable life. The evidence is more than enough to get you blacklisted in the industry."Upon hearing Damien's words, Richard was quick to agree with us in a humble fashion."Please calm down, Mr. and M

I felt a hand holding me by the waist firmly, soon yanking me away from the security guards' suffocating grip.It was Damien!Maisie was already scared shitless after noticing Damien's murderous gaze, so she instinctively loosened her grasp on Adrien.Naturally, Adrien bolted toward Damien immediately. He was already crying when he started hurling accusations at Maisie."Daddy, that mean woman… strangled me! She also had Mommy captured!"As Damien looked down at Adrien, he reached out to gently pat the latter on the head in reassurance, the gesture practiced and effortless.Meanwhile, Silas kept staring at Damien's arm, which was still wrapped around my waist. His gaze, which used to be filled with endless arrogance and mockery, was now left with hollow disbelief."C-Cassiopeia… h-how could you marry Mr. Ashcroft?" he blurted out.There wasn't a trace of color left on Maisie's complexion. She instinctively took a step backward, which caused her to bump against the flower bed in

Stunned, everyone turned to look at the man in disbelief.When he said "Mr. Ashcroft", did he mean Damien Ashcroft, the CEO of Ashcroft Group who had so much power that he'd have the entire city dance on his fingertips?Why would Damien bother with something this trivial?Meanwhile, I just smirked faintly at the man's words.Typical Damien, using me to earn more pocket money.During the dreamwalking session, I directed all of my focus into immersing myself in Liam's dream. At the same time, I picked up on the abnormality in the magnetic field. Even though I didn't have my dreamwalking compass to help me out, I could still handle things on my own in a dream as simple as this.On the other hand, Maisie seemed quite impatient and irritated. Clearly, her focus was completely rattled because of Damien's bet.In the end, she could only give a vague answer, while I offered a specific, bold suggestion.I told Liam to immediately reach out to the overseas client whose contract he'd pr

I was completely taken aback by Silas' accusation. The truth was, I had once given him the same type of crystal a long time ago.At that time, he had failed to establish his business for the first time, so he locked himself up in his rented apartment without eating or drinking anything for three days.Having performed a dreamwalk on Silas' dream, I searched high and low across the city and spent every last penny I had to find him a fortune-shifting crystal.He once told me that the crystal was the only beacon of light in his dark life. How was it a fraudulent trinket now?As I gripped the crystal tightly, I was about to refute Silas when a delighted voice cut in. "Ms. Vale, is that you?"I looked up to see a young man in a sharp suit, gazing at me excitedly."It really is you, Ms. Vale! I saw you on the cover of the International Association of Dreamwalkers' yearbook!"The young man quickly approached me and extended a hand in a friendly manner, completely disregarding Silas a
