Celeste was fuming.


    Rhea chose to speak at the right moment. “Please try to remain calm.”

    She then voiced her concern. “Is Marcus’ arm injured?”


    “You saw his wound? It hasn’t healed yet?” Celeste questioned, already aware of Marcus’ injury from


    when he was recovering at home.


    “It appears to be unhealed. Could it be serious?” Rhea queried, genuine worry in her voice.


    A shadow of concern crossed Celeste’s face.


    “Marcus is usually so robust. How could he sustain an injury? I have this nagging feeling…” Rhea’s


    voice trailed off.


    “What is it you feel?” Celeste pressed, eager to understand.


    Rhea continued cautiously, “I’m afraid there might be a conflict between Marcus’ and Millie’s


    astrological signs. This injury could merely be the start. I’m genuinely concerned about what other


    mishaps might befall Marcus in the future.”


    Celeste’s brow furrowed, her underlying dislike for Millie was further fueled by Rhea’s spection.


    “Rhea, apany me to the Spirit Temple this afternoon. We’ll consult a spiritual master. Marcus is my


    only son, and if Millie brings any misfortune his way, I’ll not tolerate her presence a moment longer,”


    Celeste dered, her voice resolute.


    Celeste and Rhea arrived at thergest temple in Preagend, a ce Celeste regrly supported with


    generous donations. The temple’s master, renowned as a skilled diviner, recognized her immediately.


    Upon spotting Celeste, the master approached, greeting her with respect. “Mrs. Thomas.”


    Rhea, standing a short distance away, observed Celeste as she presented the master with Marcus’ and


    Millie’s identification information, a knowing smile ying on her lips.


    Millie, just wait and see how I teach you a lesson. Mrs. Thomas has but one son. If you are cursed by


    fate, she will never let you be with Marcus.


    As Rhea had anticipated, Celeste emerged half an hourter, her expression one of deep concern.


    The master had evaluated the astrologicalpatibility of Millie and Marcus, concluding that their


    union was destined for cmity. Financial ruin, even life-threatening danger, loomed on their path, with


    Millie identified as Marcus’ unlucky charm.


    “Mrs. Thomas, what were the findings?” Rhea inquired, feigning ignorance.


    Celeste shook her head, her voice heavy with worry. “Millie’s fate is ill-omened. If Marcus continues his


    rtionship with her, she will lead him to disaster.”


    “It’s no surprise, really. Ever since Marcus married her, things have not been right with him. Though he


    may resent me now, what truly concerns me is the worsening rtionship between him and you.”


    “I must pray for Marcus,” Celeste dered as she walked towards the floor where she could pray.


    After Celeste left the temple, Rhea approached the master and discreetly handed him a sum of money.


    “This is your reward.”
