Chapter 382 This Must Be Intentional

Lately, Melinda has been under immense stress due to her family's problems. Her brothers were both arrested, and only one was eventually released. Their company was shut down, and her eldest brother was now facing legal consequences. Even with the best lawyer, she knew he would still go to jail. Her nephew and niece had also been dealing with various troubles. Her brother was severely beaten by the husband's family for having an affair with a married woman, resulting in a broken leg. She couldn't do anything to help Banny either. Yesterday, she received news that her other two nephews went overseas to gamble. In the end, they lost tens of millions and were now being held hostage by the other party. If they didn't repay the money, their lives would be in danger. The Stewards were in complete chaos now. Her mother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces cried to her every day, asking for her help. They even asked her to provide money to rescue the two nephews. Melinda had already given almost all her money to the warlock. Now, she couldn't even come up with a million, let alone ten times that. When she called her husband, he was on a field trip to a mining area. The signal there was very poor, and she couldn't get through to him. This made her extremely frustrated as she continued to search for her husband while comforting her family. She later found out that both the Johnston Family and the Gray Family had a hand in suppressing the Stewards. That was why her eldest brother was taken away so quickly. She also suspected that her brother being beaten up and her two nephews being deceived into gambling were also related to the Johnstons and the Gray Family. So, she despised Salma to the core. Because the warlock told her that Salma had already been cursed. That's why she has been keeping an eye on the Gray Family since returning to Cebros. She heard that Salma suddenly developed red spots all over her body, almost disfiguring her, and it couldn't be cured. She felt a sense of joy and satisfaction. That wretched woman would probably never have the dignity to attend social gatherings again. For a high-profile lady like Salma, this was a huge torment. She never actually thought about killing Salma, as it would only bring her trouble. After all, if Salma died, the Johnstons and the Gray Family would not only suppress the Stewards, but they would also come after her. So, she was quite content with the current situation. Especially when she heard that the Gray Family hired several geomancy masters but still couldn't remove the curse. She was even more delighted. She was very pleased with the warlock and felt that the money was well spent.
