The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Great Tribulation of the Zodiac Year

The girl was visibly startled by the comment, and the younger girl next to her looked at Scarlett Jennings with clear tension on her face.

"Scarlett, does my friend have some kind of problem?"

The other girl was also anxious. "Is something happening to my family?"

Scarlett looked at the girl and shook her head, "It won’t be your family facing trouble—it’s you."

As soon as these words were spoken, both girls gasped sharply, and the girl wearing a mask turned visibly pale.

Ashton Todd intervened to explain.

"From your face, it looks like you’ve been smooth-sailing up to the age of twenty-four. But after twenty-four, your Career Palace and Couple’s Palace, along with other representative positions, turn dim. This implies that in your twenty-fourth year, you’ll encounter a significant setback, and it might be tied to your life or health."

The girl turned even paler and instinctively gripped the phone in her hand, wrapped in a red case.

She was, of course, twenty-four years old this year.

And her outing with her best friend today was an excuse to celebrate her twenty-fourth birthday.

Ashton Todd elaborated further.

"The body represents health. While your Fate Palace isn’t entirely dim, the lines connecting various positions and your physical condition seem to faintly show breaks..."

Ashton hesitated before lowering his voice. "You might end up paralyzed."

In general, cases like this fall into two categories.

One is caused by illness, but you don’t show signs of significant hidden diseases, so it could only be an accident bringing misfortune.

Your face shows this calamity is imminent.

Considering your personal position and alignment, the train’s current direction clearly aligns with an ominous position for you.

Adding to that, your friend doesn’t show the same misfortune on her face, which means at least this accident won’t happen on this high-speed train.

That’s why I suggested you continue your trip home as soon as you disembark.

The girl, shocked by the prospect of paralysis, felt her legs weaken, nearly unable to stand. Her friend quickly grabbed her to steady her.

Frightened, she asked,

"We were heading to the neighboring city to attend a convention tomorrow. Is it possible something might happen over there? If we go back home now, will nothing happen to my friend?"

Ashton instinctively glanced at Scarlett Jennings. Although skilled in divination and face reading, he wasn’t entirely confident in mitigating calamities. Generally, he’d advise avoiding the disaster—and for safety, carrying a protective amulet could help.

But he didn’t have any amulets with him at the moment.

The talismans he borrowed from Scarlett Jennings earlier had almost all been used up, and he hadn’t yet replenished his supply.

"For safety, you can request a protective amulet to carry with you."

Ashton said this with practiced ease, turning to Scarlett Jennings. "Scarlett, since they’re your fans, they might as well ask for the talisman from you."

Scarlett immediately understood he was out of supplies just by hearing his words.

Without hesitation, she reached into her backpack and pulled out a triangularly folded talisman paper, handing it to the girl.

If Ashton hadn’t mentioned it earlier, Scarlett probably would’ve passed the talisman through Ashton instead.

Not for any other reason—since Ashton initiated the reading and the girl agreed to it, Mystical Sect’s rules dictate that the case belonged to Ashton. Unless initiated otherwise by Ashton or the girl, Scarlett wouldn’t interfere—but now made it convenient.

The girl received the amulet carefully and immediately stored it away before transferring money to the pair on the spot, expressing gratitude while preparing with her friend to disembark at the next station.

If they’d encountered someone saying such things randomly on the road, they might not have believed it.

But this was Scarlett Jennings’ classmate!

And since Scarlett endorsed it, there was no room for doubt.
