Lahat ng Kabanata ng After the Chief Gold Prospector Resigned, the Fake Clairvoyant Went Into Panic: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

At that moment, Ryan, who was standing beside Jane, noticed me frozen in the doorway.“Claire Hayes? Didn’t they already notify everyone about the meeting? Why are you only showing up now?”As he spoke, he strode over, snatched the notebook out of my hands, and flipped through it casually.The moment he saw what was written inside, his face filled with mockery.“Don’t tell me you were lurking outside the door eavesdropping just now. What’s in this notebook is exactly the same as what Jane just reported. I’ve got to hand it to you. You write pretty fast.”The others exchanged glances and laughed, their faces full of ridicule.“Well, Claire Hayes, your team spent months running around in the wilderness, and now you’re copying an intern’s survey report?”“Claire Hayes, I’m afraid that title of chief prospector won’t be yours much longer. She takes one look and knows exactly where the gold is. You spend months tossing people around, come back empty-handed, and then try to pass off s

After hearing Jane’s explanation, the entire institute burst into enthusiastic applause.Once the applause died down, the director showered Jane with praise before turning to me with a dark expression.“Claire Hayes, you’ve really gone too far this time. The survey area for this gold deposit was already narrowed down. All we asked you to do was confirm the exact location, and you still couldn’t figure it out after an entire week.“Fortunately Jane came back in time. She took one look and pinpointed the exact location of the mine.“You dragging this out on purpose… are you really up to something like the rumors say?”As soon as the director finished questioning me, several engineering crew members who had already been unhappy with me began chiming in.“She obviously has an ulterior motive. We work ourselves to death every day, and in the end it’s all just paving the way for her.”“Three straight years as the institute’s chief gold prospector, yet in the last six months she hasn’t

“And that boyfriend of yours,” my father grumbled, “what was so special about him? He wasn’t even as handsome as the guy who runs milking at our ranch.”My mother immediately stepped in and shoved him aside.“You old fool! Our daughter’s finally willing to come home and take over the family business, and you’re still nagging her?“Let me warn you. If you nag her so much that she runs off again, I won’t forgive you!”Watching my parents argue over me like that, I felt a warm ache in my chest.They were so familiar. So alive.In my previous life, they had tried to seek justice for me but ended up being killed by Jane and the others.The thought made my heart twist with pain.After scolding my father, my mother turned back to me with a bright smile.“Sweetheart, the most important thing for you now is finding a good husband and giving me a grandson.“Recently we’ve had marriage proposals from the Nepalese royal family, an Indian steel tycoon’s family, and a Thai shipping magnate

The moment I sat down, Jane patted me on the shoulder and greeted me with a bright smile.“Claire, you’re finally back. Everyone’s missed you.”I turned to look at her, pretending to be surprised.“Weren’t you out on sick leave? What are you doing back here? All better now?”Jane giggled.“Well, the second I saw you, I felt completely cured.”The fake sweetness on her face made my stomach turn, so I immediately shut her down.“I’m busy. I don’t have time to chat. Go back to your own desk.”Jane clearly hadn’t expected me to reject her little show of friendliness so coldly. Her face darkened, and she stormed off in a huff.Watching her furious back as she left, I let out a silent laugh.She thought I didn’t know what she was after.There was no way I was going to let her pull the same trick again.If one little snub was enough to upset her, then she had no idea what was coming next.At the next gold exploration briefing, I was going to strip away her mask for good.The ver

Hearing the crowd turn on her, Jane completely lost it and lunged at me.I shoved her aside without thinking, and she crashed to the floor.Calmly, I pulled a small vial from my pocket and sprayed its contents straight at her face.Almost instantly, Jane doubled over, writhing on the ground with her arms wrapped around her stomach. Then she dropped to all fours and started vomiting.A moment later, a small black insect came out of her mouth.I pointed at it and explained to the room, “That is a mind-link parasite. There used to be one inside me too, but Elias Rowan removed it for me.“Jane used a parasite like this to read my thoughts and steal all of my results.“Just now, I used the parasite-control technique Elias taught me to force the one inside her to reveal itself.“She never had any clairvoyant sight. She’s a fraud.”The moment people saw the insect she had coughed up, the room changed.“So this kind of sorcery is actually real? That’s terrifying.”“The sorcery isn’t
