Chapter174.

Evan’s silence thickened like fog. I bit my tongue hard–since when did exorcism become a sales pitch?

Sherry tilted her head, eyes rolling skyward before resurrecting her pious facade. “Such divine compassion‘ The bodhisattva herself?”

Fiona scrambled for the prayer beads like a beggar snatching gold coins.

Madame Huang earnestly said, “Mrs. Crowe, remember, sincerity is key,

“I understand, I understand.”

Fiona nodded repeatedly, putting on the beads. She paid a hefty sum and left, covered in ash and pig blood. She made an appointment to come back in a week; Madame Huang agreed to help again. She was milking this customer dry.

Watching Fiona leave, I mumbled to myself, “Can I still switch careers?”

Evan didn’t know what to say.

Next door, Sherry removed her veil, revealing her intelligent and beautiful face.

“Madame, am I right? You made a killing today.”

Madame Huang opened her eyes; so, the old woman was faking blindness.

“Indeed, you have talent, Ms. Burke. Consider working with me; fifty–fifty split. What do you say?”

“I’m talented at everything, but I prefer righting wrongs and upholding justice.”

“Fine. I love money; you love justice; we’ll each get what we want. I don’t care what you do, I just want money.”

“That’s right.”

Since he agreed, no one dared to object. Let’s keep up the act.

The four of us followed the robe girl to… We expected the previous room, but she took us somewhere else. The first room was in ruins, after all.

The new room was smaller, elegant, and refined. Madame Huang sat behind a small altar; Sherry wasn’t there.
