- Chapter 24
- The viewers said they were afraid of bad luck, but way more people lined up to connect with Amanda than usual.
- It didn’t take long for the first one to get through, and funny enough, it was someone familiar.
- Amanda recognized her right away. “Hey, it’s you.”
- It was Marve, the girl who’d gotten laid off because of Amanda.
- Maeve hadn’t expected to get picked again, and she looked both shocked and excited. Remembering what happened last time still gave her chills, but she couldn’t help sharing the good news with Amanda. Thank you, Ms. Corkery. I found a new job. and my salary more than doubled.”
- Viewer A: [Wait, what? For real?]
- Viewer B: [Oh, I’m crying with envy. I want that too.]
- Viewer C: [So anyone who gets chosen today has good luck?
- Seeing those comments, Maeve nodded hard and looked at Amanda, saying, “If it weren’t for Ms. Corkery, I wouldn’t have even dared to send my resume to the company.”
- Amanda had told her last time to go bold and apply for the job she really wanted.
- That company had been on Maeve’s radar for a while. It was the top three in the industry, but with her qualifications, she’d never dared try. This time, she took the leap, and shockingly, it worked.
- Not only was the pay higher, but the benefits were amazing, and being at a big–name company meant even if she changed jobs. down the line. it’d look great on her resume.
- The chat exploded, and everyone was hyped. No one could refuse a raise and a new job.
- Then Maeve cleared her throat and leaned in, whispering, “Also, I heard something. My former company might really be in trouble. The CEO gor taken away by the police.”
- When she finished, she noticed Amanda didn’t even look surprised, and she asked, “Wait, Ms. Corkery, you knew that already?”
- Amanda nodded and replied, “Yup, why else do you think I said the company was going bankrupt?” She looked straight at the camera, dead serious. “So yeah, I’m lucky, okay?”
- She still remembered how people said she brought bad luck last time. She was petty like that.
- The viewers were amused by Amanda’s words.
- Marve laughed too. Honestly, she just wanted to hop on to say thanks and didn’t mean to take up too much time. She said, “Alright, I’ll let someone else go next.”
- But Amanda suddenly stopped her and said, “Wait a sec. You got the chance. Don’t you wanna ask about your sister?”
- Maeve widened her eyes and asked in a trembling voice, “Ms. Corkery, what did you say?”
- “I said your birth sister, Amanda repeated.
- Maeve really did have an older sister who was studying abroad. Their parents divorced when they were kids, and she stayed with their mom while her sister went with their dad.
- Even so, they stayed close. Her sister always made time to call, no matter how busy she was.
- But Maeve hadn’t heard from her sister in almost a week. When she called, her sister would decline and text back saying she was busy,
- At first, Maeve hadn’t thought much of it. But after a few days, something just felt off. No matter how busy her sister got, she always found a minute to talk. At the very least, she’d always pick up the phone.
- Now, hearing Amanda mention that, Maeve felt all her uneasiness flare up. Her face went pale as she stammered, “Ms. Corkery, d–did something happen to my sister?”
- Amanda studied her face for a while and then nodded. The brow area connects to the siblings. Yours is dim, and there’s a dent right above your brow. Your sister might be in serious danger, even at risk of sudden death.”
- The color drained completely from Macve’s face. Her hands trembled as she asked, “What’s happened to her?”
- Amanda replied, “I won’t know the specifies yet. Give me her information.”
- Maeve didn’t even wait to DM but blurted out her sister’s details right in the live stream.
- Amanda tossed her coins and studied the divination. Her brows gradually knitted together. She muttered, “It’s a great
- misfortune.”
- Maeve’s hands shook uncontrollably upon hearing that.
- But Amanda then added, “She’s still alive for now. You need to get someone to find her, or call the cops right away. The location is…
- She studied the signs carefully and muttered, “It shows she’s near the mountain. Tell them to search for the northeast side of the mountain, especially around the base. Also, try asking her boyfriend.”
- Maeve froze for a moment, a bit surprised that Amanda even knew that. Her sister did have a boyfriend, and they seemed to be doing great. Maeve asked, “He’s involved?”
- Amanda nodded and explained, “Your sister’s got a curse in her life, related to romance. I’m guessing this is it. Go look for her now. Her life force is super weak. If you don’t find her within an hour, she might not make it back alive.”
- Maeve broke into a cold sweat. She nodded hard and quickly dropped the call, dialing her sister’s roommate right away.
- The roommate sounded confused when she picked up. She asked, “Call the cops? It’s really complicated here, Maeve.
- Maeve begged, her voice shaking. “Please help Alison. I’ll pay you. All you need to do is make the call. Help me find a rescue team, and I’ll cover everything. Please, I’m begging you.”
- Hearing how desperate Maeve was, the roommate softened and agreed. Not long after, a rescue team was on the move, searching northeast of the mountain just like Maeve told them.
- At first, the rescue team thought it was some kind of joke, until they found a woman at the foot of the mountain, covered in blood and unconscious.
- Once Maeve got word her sister had been found, she finally let out a shaky breath and clenched her fists. She growled, “It was Ivan. He did this to her.
- Ivan Green was her sister Alison’s boyfriend.
- The police had already taken Ivan in. It didn’t take long for him to confess. He and Alison got into a fight–he needed money. and she wouldn’t lend it to him. He lost his mind and pushed her off the mountain.
- He figured she’d be dead and no
- Marve was so angry that she co… “ould find her. He never expected it to come out like this.
- Marve was so angry that she could’ve stabbed Ivan herself. If she hadn’t talked with Amanda today, her sister would’ve died for real. Even if they found her later, it would’ve just been her corpse.
- Thinking of that, Maeve sent Amanda a request for a video call to thank her.
- Amanda was still chatting with the viewers when she saw Maeve’s request and picked up the call right away.
- Maeve almost cried her eyes out, and her voice was shaking. “Ms. Corkery, thank you so much. You saved my sister.”
- Maeve was about to bow to Amanda.
- Amanda was drinking her soda, and she nearly choked. She said to Maeve, “Don’t do that. That will shorten my life. Please
- don’t
- Maeve couldn’t help but burst out laughing and told her that her sister had been found, safe and alive.
- Right then, someone in the chat wrote: [Wait, your sister’s name is Alison, right? I know her. We’re classmates. I just heard what happened. The guy who did it was Ivan. Cops took him away just now.
- Maeve nodded and replied, “Yeah, my sister is Alison. Ivan’s the one who hurt her.”
- The channel instantly blew up with comments.
- pin
- Viewer A: Well, seems there’s always a person who ends up in prison each time.]
- Amanda immediately got defensive. Hold on. You’re not seriously blaming me, right? Saying I bring bad luck or something?
- Everyone cracked up at that, rushing to calm her down.
- Viewer B: [No, not your fault. He asked for it.)
- Viewer C: Exactly, you literally saved a girl’s life. You’re a damn hero.
- Viewer D. [Manda is the kindest, most amazing person ever,]
- Amanda smirked and thought, “Well yeah, I am
