“Hey Charmaine, have you seen the latest gossip about fortune telling online? It’s so interesting! Apparently, someone in our city bought a mansion worth millions, but it’s falling apart. The house owner is a ruthless businessman, and now he’s running out of money and can’t sell it. Bad people always get what’s coming to them–karma, right?”

Celeste clapped her hands, clearly enjoying herself. She deliberately added, “The funny part is, you know him, Charmaine. It’s your evil adoptive father. No wonder your luck was so terrible before–it must have been all that bad karma from his family!”

Charmaine couldn’t help but twitch her lips. She glanced at Leah, who looked like she’d just swallowed something disgusting, before letting out a small laugh.
