Our family… A jinx…
Malorie could not help shifting her gaze to Arielle, who was eating and minding her own business.
Hatred began to fill her eyes.
I didn’t know that the Actonwards had a mishap. But, two youngsters passing away at the same time?
Could this really be a coincidence? Maybe they’re right – our family has come across a jinx, and that jinx
is none other than Arielle Moore!
Malorie narrowed her eyes.
Beside her, Cindy did not hear the guests’ conversation. She was still thinking about why Henrick was
being so cold to her.
When Malorie came to a halt, Cindy finally returned to her senses. Curiously, she asked, “Mom, what’s
wrong? Your seat is over there.”
She pointed at the round table in the center of the backyard.
That was the main table. Since Arielle was young, she was not allowed to sit there. Only Cindy and
Malorie had the right to sit there.
At Cindy’s words, Malorie snapped out of her thoughts.
She pulled Cindy to the side and asked in a low voice, “Cindy, do you know any famous exorcists in
Jadeborough? Someone who can get rid of the spirits of the dead.”
Cindy was stunned. She frowned and asked, “Why do you need someone like that? Shandie is going to
be buried today. She’s always been a good girl, so she won’t disturb us even after her death. Besides, all
the exorcists in Jadeborough are just scammers.”
“No. I’m not talking about Shandie. I’m talking about Arielle.”
Cindy raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Arielle?”
Malorie nodded and told Cindy about the guests’ conversation just now. “It must be Arielle’s fault! She
stayed in the countryside, right? She probably brought some malicious spirit here! That’s why our family
and the Actonwards have met with such terrible misfortune!”
When she recalled the way Arielle glared at her last night, she was extremely scared. She’s not
supposed to have that kind of look at such a young age. She must be possessed by an evil spirit or
something!
With that thought, Malorie added, “People say that female spirits like to possess beautiful women. Isn’t
Arielle too beautiful? If we can’t find an exorcist here in Jadeborough, I’ll bring one over after Shandie’s
funeral ends. If it’s a mistake, then that’s fine. But if I’m not wrong… We need to force Arielle to stay
away from us!”
Cindy almost burst out laughing as she listened to Malorie.
Initially, she was worried, knowing that Malorie had come to Jadeborough. Cindy had clearly changed
her mind now. This is wonderful! It’s such nice timing for her to be here now! Arielle Moore, you’re
doomed! Malorie is not someone easy to deal with. Shandie must be watching me from above. She even
sent me such a great opportunity!
Clenching her fists, Cindy had an idea. “Mom, I actually know an exorcist. Shall I bring her over after
Shandie’s funeral ends later?”
“Sure! The sooner the better!” Malorie replied.
She was extremely impatient. At the thought that there might be an evil spirit at home, Malorie felt
goosebumps all over her body.
She turned to look at Arielle instinctively.
Right at that moment, the latter finished eating. She turned around, and her eyes met Malorie’s.
“Ah!” Malorie shrieked in shock. Her scream attracted the attention of the other guests around her.
