The Tarot Cards Never Lie, but People Do Chapter 10
In the end, I took Mom away from the Gilbert mansion and went back home with her. But then, Mom started packing her things, saying she planned to move back and reunite with Kenneth.I didn't understand at first. But Mom smiled softly and said, "If forgiving him makes your life easier in the future, then that's a good thing."Her words made me come to a realization. She was right. We had suffered for far too long.Even after I succeeded in the business scene and made a name for myself, Mom never allowed herself to relax. She feared the ups and downs of running a business and worried that I might fall someday without anyone to catch me. So, she kept working as a cleaner year after year.If forgiving Kenneth would let Mom live more comfortably, then I was willing to do it. For her sake, I could accept him as my father. I bid Mom good night and asked her to rest, promising I would help pack in the morning.But in the middle of the night, I awoke to a burning, solid weight looming righ

The moment Mikael opened his mouth to argue, Nathan slapped him squarely on the face. He barked, "Don't you dare throw your spoiled tantrums at Harmony! Apologize to her now!"Lisa, startled, immediately began trying to smooth things over. "Mikael's just been spoiled by us since he was little. He doesn't think before he speaks. Please don't take it to heart, Ms. Gilbert."Then, she shoved the stick back into Mikael's hands. "Harmony is your fiancée. Do whatever she says. If she asks you to hit Tori, just do it. Don't drag your feet."They had no idea how deep Mikael's attachment to Tori ran, but I knew. He could never bring himself to hurt her. I crouched in front of Tori and patted her cheek lightly.Then, I said, "Actually, I just realized that breaking your legs might be letting you off too easily. How about this? "You take your precious tarot deck home and use it to read your own fate. Figure out when and where I'll make you wish you were dead."Sometimes, the only thing mor

I wasn't sure what Mikael said to Tori, but not long after, she returned. Of course, she was still clutching that deck of tarot cards she never went anywhere without. Her face was plastered with a sugary smile as she laid out the cards in front of me, gesturing theatrically for me to pick a few cards.She glanced down. Within seconds, she let out a dramatic gasp. "Ms. Gilbert, this spread is absolutely divine! "You and Mikael are truly soulmates, a match made in heaven! No matter what day you choose for your wedding, it will be the luckiest and happiest day of your lives!"I couldn't help but laugh out loud this time. I didn't know much about tarot, and I couldn't read the cards to save my life, but I could tell when someone was acting. Right now, Tori was putting on the worst performance of her career.Mikael, however, didn't seem to notice or care. He looked delightfully surprised as he said, "That's wonderful, my dear! I knew we'd be the perfect match, and that we'd be happy to

Our so-called reunion with Kenneth didn't bring us happiness. If anything, it only deepened the hurt that Mom had carried all these years. She choked up, unable to speak a single word.I gestured for Kenneth to look at the faint red mark still visible on her face. "If you really care about Mom and me, then don't let the person who hit her get away with it."Kenneth's eyes widened instantly. He roared in a thunderous voice, "Who dared to lay a hand on my wife! Do they have a death wish!"I turned my head and found that Tori was nowhere to be seen. She must have realized what was coming and slipped out the back door, but Mikael and Lisa weren't so lucky. The bodyguards Kenneth brought had them surrounded.His voice came out cold and menacing, like it was from a demon straight out of hell. "What exactly did you do to my wife and daughter?"Lisa's legs gave out, and she fell to her knees before him. "You've misunderstood, Mr. Gilbert… We didn't know Harmony was your daughter!"As she

It took a long time before Mikael finally stammered a single trembling sentence. "H-How is that possible? Harmony told me she never had a father.""Nonsense!" Gavin snapped sharply, his voice echoing through the lobby. "Ms. Harmony Gilbert is our chairman's biological daughter. Watch your mouth."Mikael panicked, and his entire body began to shake. "Harmony… She lied to me. I thought she would never lie to me."He turned toward the glass door and met my gaze. For that one brief second, our eyes locked, and I didn't look away.I had never meant to deceive him. To me, my dad had been dead to me for a long time.The Gilbert family was an affluent and influential family. They had been around for over a hundred years. On the other hand, Mom had only been a hot-dog vendor. Kenneth had fallen in love with her, so he hid his identity and pretended to be poor just to marry her. Later, I was born.When I was little, we didn't have much. But I had a happy life. It was because I had parent

Mikael and Lisa hurried outside with fawning smiles plastered across their faces.Inside, Tori was practically bouncing with excitement. "Oh my god! The chairman of Gilbert Group just returned to the country a few days ago! Every major company's been trying to meet with him. None of them even made it through the door."Now, their chairman himself is visiting Jardine Group. Harmony, do you see now just how powerful the Jardine family is? It's such a pity, though. Yesterday was your only chance to marry into the Jardine family, and you threw it away."Once the Jardine and Gilbert families start working together, Mikael won't bother to look at you even if you kneel and beg him."I gave her a cold, mocking smile. "Didn't you realize that my last name is Gilbert?"She froze for a second, then burst into laughter. "Oh, Harmony. Have you lost your mind? Sure, you share the same surname, but you're just the daughter of a lowly cleaner. You and the Gilbert family are worlds apart."By the
