Oliver looked confused. "Our birth charts are different from hers. How could we be affected by her draining our fortune?"Lindsay replied, "She must have given your hair or blood to the people backing her. Then they used some kind of spell to connect you to her in a way that allows her to steal your fortune."Your love and care for her over the years created a magnetic field of sorts. As long as you kept showering her with affection, combined with the fortune she stole from me, her luck would stay strong. Think about itโever since I left the Harper family, hasn't Oliviaโs luck been remarkably good? Maybe even incredibly lucky at times."When her hair and blood were taken, they must have been handed over to the people backing Olivia. Her mentor likely did something to counter this, along with giving her the mystic charm, which allowed her to temporarily escape the worst of the fortune-stealing.If she had stayed with the Harper family after returning, Olivia would have continued to sip

โSo all of Oliviaโs so-called good luck and 'lucky star' status was stolen?โ Oliver asked.Before Lindsay could respond, Joey cut in, โWell, isnโt that obvious? Didnโt she already say you were like livestock being fattened up for slaughter? Itโs clearly the same idea.โAnnoyed, Oliver snapped, โShut up.โ This guy had a knack for hitting where it hurtโdid he have no shame?He turned to Lindsay and asked, โHow exactly is she stealing our fortune?โLindsay replied with a question, โThink carefully. Didnโt she encourage all of you to enter the entertainment industry?โOliver paused, thinking it over, and then his expression changed. โNow that you mention it, she did.โโWhen we were kids, she always talked about wanting to be a big star and asked us to protect her. Sheโd say I was the best and could definitely help make lots of people famous. At the time, I didnโt have a specific career in mind, and since the Harper family had an entertainment company, I became an agent.โOther than Edmund
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 428
The others were speechless. Who would've thought that stealing someone's fortune could be so simple?Joey couldnโt hold back his laughter. โGive you some, give you allโฆ Your brothers are hilarious. Youโd probably be having a great time, while Oliviaโs thinking, โThese idiots are so easy to fool.โโIf it weren't for recent events that started revealing Olivia's true nature, Oliver would likely agree to such requests, cheerfully giving their fortune away.Oliver's face darkened further. โJust shut up!โCould this guy be any more infuriating? Listening to Joey made Oliver realize just how foolish he and his brothers had been.Had it not been for everything that happened after Lindsay left the family, if Olivia had asked for something like that, they probably would have thought it was a joke and gone along with it, agreeing to give her whatever she wanted. That would have been truly pathetic.Oliver asked, "But we didn't even know that giving her our fortune was possible. If we agreed wit

Of course, they were only joking around. Despite being caught up in this mess himself, he still hoped his brothers could avoid the same fate.Lindsay raised an eyebrow. โWho said he managed to escape?โโDonโt forget, he and Jenny are twins. That means his birth chart matches Jasmine's as well. He could easily be a target for fortune-stealing too. His hair and blood, just like Jennyโs, were probably taken and used in a ritual long ago.โAnd as for who might have done it, it was likely their own motherโฆShe continued, โAs long as he keeps helping and indulging Olivia like he used to, heโll end up just like the Harper brothers. If Olivia asks him for fortune, and he agrees, itโll transfer right to her.โJoey and Oliver looked puzzled. โIf his birth chart is the same as Jasmine's, what does that have to do with Olivia?โJenny chimed in, โIt's because theyโre sisters, right?โ She turned to Lindsay. โCan they use this blood relationship to steal fortune from one another?โLindsay gave her
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 430
Justinโs whole worldview was turned upside down. His mother had actually done something like this. He asked, his voice filled with mixed emotions, โDoes Dad know?โJenny raised an eyebrow. โDadโs a lot smarter than you think.โ But she clearly didnโt want to say too much about their father, worried that her clueless brother might accidentally spill something he shouldnโt. Even though they had hinted at the truth pretty clearly, she wanted to play it safe.Lindsay added, โCaseyโs actually in a worse position than any of you. Heโs been turned into a conduit for your familyโs fortune, and he wasnโt meant to live a long life from the start. His future is not only uncertain but also marked by the recurring agony that comes with being a conduitโa kind of pain that most people could never endure.โThat was why Casey was trying to take control of his fate, fighting for his own life. The same went for Tracy; she didnโt want to be led around by the nose, only to end up as a sacrificial pawn.
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 431
Oliver's face darkened. "Get lost..."What kind of friends were these? They made it sound like he was some kind of despicable villain.He sneered, "To think you guys became my childhood friends... Do you think you're any better?"Jenny clapped her hands in agreement. "Absolutely right."Lindsay added, "At least you have some self-awareness!"Oliver and his two companions were speechless and thought, โFriends, my foot. More like backstabbers.โThey had embarrassed each other in front of Lindsay and Jenny again.Oliver shot a glare at Joey and Justin. "You two, shut up for now. I have something to say."Then he turned to Lindsay, "So, how do we get rid of Olivia?"The depth of his past devotion to Olivia now mirrored the intensity of his current contempt.Lindsay raised an eyebrow. "How would I know how youโre going to get rid of Olivia? Figure it out yourselves."All she could do was offer a reminder.If collaboration was inevitable, she'd endure it. But only when absolutely necessary.
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 432
After hearing Lindsay's words, Oliver had to admit she had a point.He, Raymond, and Alex had all been tricked by Olivia before, and only then did they realize she wasn't nearly as innocent as she seemed. Telling them that she was evil would be futile. Just like last time, when Raymond and Brandon teamed up to help Olivia and snatched the prayer charm right out of his hands. If it happened now, Brandon would probably be the only one foolish enough to make a move.So, yeah, let Brandon experience his "sweet sister's" schemes for himself.As for Edmund, he had always been a bit smarter and more rational than the rest of them. He wasn't likely to fall for Olivia's tricks so easily. And if he did, well, that would be on him. As long as no one's life was in danger, Oliver was even willing to add a little fuel to the fire. After all, watching his brothers' drama unfold could be pretty entertaining.He nodded to Lindsay. "Got it."Lindsay had said all she needed to say and asked all the q

Joey took the talisman and said, "Thanks!"He immediately hung it around his neck, feeling much safer that way.In unison, Justin and Oliver chimed in, "I want to buy a talisman too."Joey glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why do you guys need one? It's not like your luck is being drained."Oliver shot him a look. "We might not be losing luck, but we're in more danger than you are, okay? If we get tricked, it's like handing our luck over on a silver platter."Just thinking about it was frustrating.Justin nodded in agreement. "Exactly."Besides, he also wanted a talisman personally crafted by Lindsay.Joey was exasperated. "Can't you guys just refuse? I mean, I'm losing luck against my will, but you can just say no. So, who's got it worse?"He definitely felt he was the more wronged one here.Oliver replied, "We're worried that we might get tricked into agreeing without even realizing it."This whole thing felt pretty shady. Who knew what tricks Olivia might use to get them to con

In the vibrant district of the historic town, the streets were lined with vintage boutiques and various artisan stalls. Lindsay's group visited the townโs administration office and rented a temporary booth.Alex and Justin eagerly borrowed a table and chairs, setting up the booth. Following Lindsay's instructions, they also bought a piece of white fabric and worked together to create a simple sign. The production team provided markers and other supplies.Lindsay glanced over at Benedict and said, "Benedict, Iโll let you handle writing the banner."She was eager to observe his writing and the energy he gave off while doing it.Benedict sighed inwardlyโthis girl was constantly trying to test him. After a momentโs thought, he nodded. "Alright, Iโll write it."He grabbed a marker, uncapped it, and wrote in bold letters across the white fabric: โFortune Telling, Divination, and Tarot Readings.โLindsay watched him closely, noticing the fluidity of his movements as he wrote, his posture exud

Justin added, "My momโs been trying to get me to help Olivia and distance myself from Lindsay. Sheโs also said plenty of nasty things about Lindsay. This time, not only did I ignore her, but I even pushed back. It probably pissed her off, and now sheโs taking it out on Lindsay."Alex, clearly upset, said, "You should talk to her and tell her to stop fixating on Lindsay. Lindsay hasnโt done anything to provoke her. Itโs ridiculous."He was frustrated that Justinโs mom had been stirring up trouble, making Grace even more difficult to deal with.Justin nodded. "Alright, after the show is over, Iโll have a talk with her."He also felt his mom was acting out of line. Back when he liked Lindsay, her disapproval at least made sense. But now that Lindsay had kicked him to the curb, his momโs continued obsession was baffling.Although they were speaking softly, Lindsay and Benedict, walking ahead, heard every word.Lindsay found the situation with Abby baffling as well. A woman who fawned over
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 638
After Lindsay left, the other guests quickly followed, leaving only Alex standing there awkwardly. He spoke briefly to the production staff, and they soon shifted the cameras away from that area. Alex then walked over to Grace, saying, "Mom, since Lindsay wonโt lend it, letโs just drop it."Grace shot him a cold glare, her expression dark. "How can you be so heartless? The one lying in bed is your fourth brother. Are you hanging around Lindsay all the time just to learn how to be cold and ruthless?"Unable to contain her frustration toward Lindsay, Grace directed it at Alex instead.Alex sighed in exasperation. "Even if we need help, it has to be something sheโs willing to do! Weโve wronged Lindsay enough as it is, so why do you keep trying to guilt-trip her? Brandonโs situation isnโt Lindsayโs fault. Why donโt you go find Olivia? Sheโs the one who caused all this, maybe she can fix it. After all, whoeverโs behind her is no easy target."Right now, all Alex felt toward Lindsay was gui
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 637
Grace held back her anger and said, "It'll only take a few minutes. I have something important to discuss with you."Lindsay sat back down in her seat. "Fine, go ahead."The livestream was on, and Lindsay was fully aware of itโshe was doing this on purpose.Grace was about to speak when her assistant whispered something in her ear. Her expression changed, and she subtly shifted her body to turn away from the camera.Then she looked at Lindsay. "Can we talk outside?"In her rush to find Lindsay, she had almost forgotten that this was a live-streamed variety show. She didnโt want to be on camera, much less discuss such personal matters in front of an audience.Lindsay, however, refused. "If it's important, say it here. If not, then donโt say anything."Graceโs expression darkened. "Itโs because itโs important that we need to talk privately."She emphasized, "Itโs not appropriate in front of the camera."Lindsay just smiled. "Unless it's something shady, whatโs wrong with saying it on cam
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 636
Lindsay thought about it for a while and figured that if Grace was coming to find her, it was probably for Brandon. The only thing she could want would be the artifact in her possession.Alex saw her reply and couldnโt help but smile wryly. His sister was indeed sharp and saw right through it.He sent a voice message, repeating what the head of the Divination Association had told them. "Mom just wants to borrow the artifact from you to suppress Brandonโs condition."Lindsay replied, "Tell her not to waste her energy."Seeing that message, Alex knew right away that she wouldnโt lend it out. It didnโt surprise himโhis sister could be ruthless when she wanted to be."We canโt convince her otherwise, not even Dad can stop her... sigh," Alex added. When their momโs temper flared, she wouldnโt listen to anyone.Lindsay didnโt seem to care. "Then let her come. Iโm not going to do her any favors."Alex recalled the conversation between their parents at the hospital and decided to warn her, "M
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 635
Recently, Grace had been spending more time with Abby, often meeting up for outings. Over time, Richard noticed that Grace's anger towards their biological daughter had deepened. Abby had always disliked Lindsay and showed more favoritism towards Olivia. She must have been stirring up trouble and egging Grace on whenever they met. With time, Grace was bound to be influenced.Grace, clearly annoyed, said, "You even want to control who I make friends with? Aren't you going too far? What's wrong with me getting along with Mrs. Ford and spending more time with her?"Richard felt cornered. "I just think there's something off about her. Her intentions in getting close to you don't seem good. That's why I'm trying to give you a heads-up."Grace didn't believe him at all. "I think you're overthinking it. Weโve always had a decent relationship. Weโre just closer now, thatโs all.""What do you men know about womenโs matters? Don't interfere." She now had plenty to talk about with Abby. Jenny wa

Richard glanced at Grace with clear disapproval. โThis whole mess was caused by Olivia and Brandon. What does any of it have to do with Lindsay?โHe could tell that recent events, and the embarrassment caused by their sons, had left his wife feeling bitter. It seemed she had begun to project that frustration onto Lindsay, despite the situation having little to do with her.Grace crossed her arms defensively. โIf it wasnโt for her ongoing fight with Olivia, Brandon wouldnโt have gotten involved. Heโs her brother. Doesnโt she owe him some consideration now that heโs in this condition?โRichard frowned. โWhat exactly are you trying to say?โValarie, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, her displeasure clear. โI see it differently. Itโs Olivia and your son who started the trouble, and all Lindsay did was defend herself. Are you really looking to embarrass yourselves even more?โGrace shifted uncomfortably, feeling the sting of her mother-in-lawโs words. โIโm just thinking abou

Given the Harper family's persistence, there was no way the Divination Association could avoid a thorough investigation. Seeing that Randolph wouldnโt back down, the official left, courteously escorted out by Randolph, who, for the moment, had ceased his protests.Valarie carefully placed the multicolored stone inside a small protective pouch before securing it around Brandon's neck. Though he felt a slight relief after putting it on, the bad luck continued. As the official had warned, his misfortune was too severe for one artifact to fully contain.Randolph tried every connection he had, attempting to borrow a second artifact, but came up empty-handed. Time slipped by, and evening approached before they could find any further solutions.By the time Richard and Grace arrived at the hospital, they were met with the weary faces of their parents. Feeling guilty for everything his father had gone through, Richard bowed his head. "Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry you had to go through this today."
Rebirth: Conquering the Entertainment Worldย ย ย Chapter 632
Hearing their words, the hope that had briefly flickered in Brandonโs eyes quickly faded, leaving him more devastated than before. "Grandfather, I know I was wrong," he muttered, finally realizing the truth. His foster sister had been nothing but troubleโfar from trustworthy, she had been a constant source of harm. Meanwhile, his real sister, though harsh and distant, had proven to be far more reliable. Regret gnawed at him deeply.Randolph sighed, his voice heavy with disappointment. โKnowing youโre wrong doesnโt change anything. Itโs too late now.โTurning back to the two mystics, Randolph asked, โIf you canโt break the curse directly, could you at least help suppress his misfortune? Maybe with a protective charm or some kind of mystical object?โDespite his frustration with his grandsonโs foolishness, he couldnโt just leave him to suffer.Both mystics exchanged uneasy glances. โWe donโt have the ability to suppress his bad luck with charms.โโFor something like that, youโd need t
