Chapter 107

Chapter 107 Too Late Steven had been contemplating how to approach Simone and reach out to her proactively. Upon hearing his old friend’s words, he smiled. “Of course, that’s not a problem. I’m just unsure about her proficiency in geomancy. Please don’t blame her if she’s not too accurate.”

His daughter was adopted by a geomancy master and had been learning these skills since she was young. She even pursued a related major in college. However, from what he understood, a young geomancy practitioner like her would only have average skills. When his daughter first came to their home, she got along well with her brothers. He heard that his eldest son had asked Simone to help with geomancy in the entertainment company’s office. Before his fourth son started filming a drama, he had also asked Simone’s help to determine an auspicious time. Steven never inquired about the results.

Donovan smiled. “You’re being modest. Simone participated in a live broadcast of a variety show, and she could tell that one of the villagers sons was in danger just by reading the that villager’s face. She jumped into the water and rescued the son. Later, she noticed. another person’s child was having issues because of the bracelet they were wearing, and after handling it, the child’s issues were resolved. Judging by her performance, her skills are definitely not mediocre.”

“Haven’t you asked her for help?” Donovan asked. Steven had been busy before and hadn’t made time to watch that variety show. So, he really didn’t know about this. “She helped me with geomancy and auspicious times for my two sons, but she hasn’t helped us with face reading, so I don’t know much about it,” Steven explained.

Donovan had great faith in geomancy. He had only started paying more attention to Simone after he heard another geomancy practitioner praising Simone’s face reading skills.

“She has three taboos, so she can’t help you with face reading,” Donovan explained. Steven. also believed in geomancy, but he didn’t know about this. “The three taboos?” “They are not able to read the faces of relatives, politicians, or themselves,” Donovan elaborated. “Geomancy practitioners are unable to read the faces of their relatives or themselves, as it is said to be concealed by some divine secret.

But this is expected. Otherwise, they would simply be too powerful. It would be chaotic if all that geomancy practitioners did were to constantly help themselves and their family members avoid misfortune and disasters while seizing or occupying good fortune. But it’s not a problem to help relatives and oneself with auspicious times and geomancy arrangements.”

“I understand,” Steven said after listening to Donovan’s words. “I’ll ask her when she’s available, then.”

Steven took out his phone and dialed Simone’s number several times in at row. However, it was either that her line was busy all the time or that her phone was turned off. Steven had another suspicion, but he thought it was impossible. He pondered for a moment and found Simone on the app that they used to chat.

He sent her a message, but he was then notified that they were no longer friends. This confirmed Steven’s previous suspicion. He couldn’t believe it. Not only had his daughter blocked his phone number, but she had also deleted him as a friend on the friend on the app. This realization made Steven’s expression turn sour Mr. Gulls noticed this. “What’s wrong?” he asked Steven relaxed his expression into a smile. “Her phone is turned off. She’s probably busy. How about I arrange a time for us to talk about geomancy once I get ahold of her?”

Mr. Gulls didn’t think much of it “Sure.” After Mr. Gulls left. Steven called in an assistant to borrow their phone. Then, he called Simone. Samone saw an unfamiliar number, and she didn’t know who was calling She answered. “Hello”

“Simone, it’s me.” Simone naturally recognized Steven’s voice and was somewhat surprised Why is he calling me? It can’t postbly he about Some No. 2, right? Koting Steven’s personality, he doesn’t seem like the type to help Sembag No 2 scale When she was in the Gray Family, Steven was often busy and not at home, and he didn’t pay much attention to household matters. He wasn’t hiased towards Jodie the way other people were But he didn’t show much concern for her either. After taking her home, he gave her a card and didn’t bother much about her after that. So their father–daughter bond was very weak The day she left, Steven believed what Salma and his few sons said. He assumed that she w always causing trouble, and he was unhappy about it What he wanted most was a harmonious family. But since his daughter was using chaos in the family, he allowed his sons to teach her a lesson and make her obedient. He didn’t investigate whether what those people said was true, Perhaps there was a difference between blood relatives and non–blood relatives. Naturally, he didn’t have the same closeness with his daughter, who had only been brought for a little over a year, as he did with his wife and sons. The day that she decided to leave the Gray Family, she treated them all as strangers. She didn’t even think about demanding his fatherly love or anything, nor did she need it.

“Who are you?” she asked.

Steven frowned. I’m your dad.”

“I don’t have a dad. I cut off all ties with everyone from the Gray Family a long time ago, Simone replied. Steven didn’t expect Simone to say that. She actually wants to cut ties, he thought. And from her tone, he could tell she was serious. He sighed. “Simone, are you still holding grudges after so long?”

“Nothing matters anymore. I don’t hold grudges she told him. “If there’s nothing else you have to say, then I’m hanging up.

I contacted you today because there is something I want to say, Steven uttered hurriedly “1 have an old friend who wants to ask for your help with geomancy. When do you have the time for this? Let’s make an appointment. He didn’t mention family matters again, as he was afraid that Simone would really hang up. He wanted to use Mr. Gulls‘ matter as an opportunity to mend the relationship with his daughter.

However, Simone decisively refused his request. No, I don’t want to have any involvement with the Gray Family or anyone associated with them. So, you can tell your friend to find. another geomancer.

The Gray Family members couldn’t just reach out to her whenever they wished to. Once she said she was cutting ties, she was insistent on not getting involved with them again. Does Steven think that I’m going to listen to him just because of his single phone call? What a joke.

Steven was taken aback by Simone’s immediate refusal. “Why are you so stubborn, child? There’s no long–standing grudge among us family members. There must have been some misunderstanding before. Why don’t we set a date to gather and have a meaningful conversation? If your brothers have any concerns, I will address them.”

Steven had heard about the situation between Simone and Titus. It was Titus who had been too harsh in his treatment of his sister. On this matter, Steven didn’t support Titus. Regardless, Simone was his biological daughter Steven didn’t want Simone to wander out without any support. However, he never expected Simone to have such a strong temper. Not only did she express her desire to sever ties verbally, but she also wanted to distance herself from them in her actions.

Simone sneered. “We have no relationship now. If you think that they are the ones with issues, you’d discipline them first. It’s too late, Mr. Gray! I don’t want to have any further ties with you, so there’s no need to have a meal or a chat. Don’t contact me again in the future. I’m hanging up!” And she indeed hung up after saying that.
