Chapter 178


    Chapter 178 Unexpected Twist.


    Luca was taken aback by the consecutive usations thrown at him by two people. He took a deep


    breath and said, “That’s why I’m here. For answers.


    They were implying that he deliberately spread usations during the live broadcast to harm his sister.


    Though that was not his intention, he simply wanted some answers, which backfired.


    If it was Simone who did it, he could not do anything to her. He could only hope that she would not be


    so ruthless and stop. He looked at her seriously and asked, “Tell me, did you do


    She retorted, “If I say I didn’t, would you believe me?”


    Luca hesitated for a moment. Would I? I don’t know.


    He had not figured out how to respond yet.


    Simone suddenlyughed sarcastically. “You see? I say I didn’t do it, but you don’t believe me. You


    only believe what Jodie says, so you rushed here to defame and nder me. By doing this, you’re just


    trying to ruin my reputation in front of everyone. You’re implying that whenever something happens, it’s


    my doing, that I’m a malicious and ruthless person. These usations you’re throwing? They’re utterly


    dirty.”


    Listening to these words, Luca denied, “No, that’s not true.”


    Zac sneered. “Your words and actions tell everyone otherwise.”


    Harry looked at him with an unpleasant expression. “If you want to protect your stepsister, don’t use


    Simone as a scapegoat! Jodie fell down the stairs herself and imed it was Simone’s doing.” He


    sarcastically added, “So, if I identally fall down the stairster, I’ll say it was your doing. You can’t


    say it’s not you just because you don’t know geomancy. I can say you paid a geomancy master to do it.


    After all, when you were at Gray Entertainment, you didn’t hesitate to use your background to suppress


    neers and act high and mighty, did you?


    Zac added, “And haven’t you and Jodie forgotten about the existence of the special department? If a


    geomancy master dares to use these methods to harm people, the special department would’ve


    knocked on their door, including Simone’s.”


    Luca was overwhelmed by their words. “I didn’t say it was Simone. I just came to ask.” He looked at her


    and said, “If you say it wasn’t you, then I believe you now, okay?” He also realized at this moment that


    he had acted impulsively before.


    He rushed here to question her during the live broadcast without evidence or certainty.


    Instead, he made himself look like a fool.


    Zac’s words made him doubt that he had indeed misunderstood. The existence of the special


    department was known to all. Anyone whomitted crimes or used geomancy to harm. others would


    be wanted and arrested. He had heard before that the special department existed not only domestically


    but also internationally.


    Today’s incident was being livestreamed, and if Simone had used unnatural powers to harm. Jodie…


    The people from the special department might have already arrived at her doorstep.


    However, Simone said, “Actually, what happened to Jodie is indeed rted to me.”


    As soon as these words came out, Luca and the other two were stunned. Even the viewers watching


    the live stream were dumbfounded.


    The live chat suddenly became quiet.


    Jonah looked surprised. What’s Simone trying to do? She admitted it. By publicly admitting her


    involvement on the livestream, she’s giving them evidence to use against her. It won’t be surprising if


    the people from the special departmente knocking on her door soon.


    In the hospital, the few people watching the television were also stunned. Jodie’s eyes lit up with joy.


    Simone is audacious, actually admitting it.

    Aaron and Leon felt that something was off. They did not think Simone would be so foolish as to


    willingly give them evidence against her. What did she mean by saying this?


    Soon, Jodie’s fans in the livestream chat started to curse and criticize.


    Zac had a suspicion. “Did she do something to cause this?”


    everyone


    Simone realized that he was clever and perceptive, always trusting her unconditionally. She nodded at


    him and smiled. “Yes, she wanted to curse me, but it backfired. I believe who watched the race saw my


    motorcycle suddenly skid and almost crash off the track. At that time, it was because someone used


    unnatural means to attack me. Fortunately, the people from the special department reminded me


    before I went on stage, so I wore the talisman I drew myself.”


    Gwen took the initiative to remind her and appeared with Sean from the special department.. It was


    known that he represented the special department, something Jodie’s backer was aware of. Sean was


    unafraid of exposure, which was why he was so brazen.


    That was also why Simone announced it so publicly.


    She sighed. “That’s why I escaped disaster. Otherwise, if I had fallen like that, it wouldn’t have been as


    simple as disfigurement and broken bones.” She continued, “After the race ended, I wasn’t affected


    and used the trapped energy in the talisman to counterattack. So, the people


    who targeted me and cursed me would all experience the backfire. The bracelet that Jodie is wearing is


    the mystical tool given to her by the person who targeted me. So, after it rebounded on me, the magical


    artifact became useless. That’s why it suddenly broke, and the red agate beads fell. Jodie must’ve


    cursed me before, wanting me disfigured. She ended up. harming herself.”


    She looked into the live camera with sincerity in her eyes and swore, “I can guarantee that everything


    I’m saying is true. I didn’t intentionally cause Jodie to fall like that. Or else, I would face divine


    retribution.” She looked into the camera and asked, “Jodie, you imed that I harmed you, which led to


    your injury. So, can you guarantee that what you’re saying is true? Can you swear that you didn’t curse


    me before? Otherwise, you will face divine retribution.”


    Then, she asked Jonah to show them Jodie’s livestream so they could confront each other on the spot.


    He immediately had someone bring a tablet and opened another livestream, presenting it in front of


    Simone and the group.


    Her words quickly stunned everyone. No one expected such a twist, which came out of nowhere. Soon,


    all the viewers tuned into two live streams, one of which was Jodie’s stream. They were eager to


    witness her reaction.


    Initially, Jodie felt a sense of happiness when Simone admitted to something, but she did not anticipate


    the tables being turned on her. The suddenness of it all left her with an incredulous expression.


    How could Simone possibly know about her curse?


    Jodie had only relied on her luck and silently cursed Simone in her mind. She had not employed any


    geomancy or mystical arts. In theory, someone who was cursed in this manner should not be able to


    detect it.


    The crucial point was that Simone even revealed the content of Jodie’s curses. Is this woman truly that


    powerful? No, she could not bring herself to believe it.


    Noticing that all eyes were on her, she quickly regained herposure. She tightly clutched the


    nket with her unbroken hand, feeling a twinge of anxiety. What should I do? I can’t admit to it, or my


    reputation will be ruined. I might even attract attention from special departments.


    Leon, with his deep gaze, fixed his eyes on her and inquired, “How do you exin what Simone just


    revealed?”


    Aaron and several other show staff, along with the viewers, all turned their attention to Jodie, eager to


    hear her exnation.
