Her Cancellation of the Engagement

Chapter 67 Your Forehead Turns Black

Chapter 67 Your Forehead Turns Dark

As Lloyd and Gianna tested each other, their car entered the Fallingwater community.

When Gianna and the others arrived home, Damian, Taryn, and Irvin were already there.

Gianna glanced at Irvin and then asked Lloyd, "How come you paid for the living expenses of four people, but five people are having dinner?"

Lloyd hadn't spoken yet, but Irvin grinned and said, "Come on, Gia. Please don't be so stingy; I'm here just for a free meal. And I bought a gift, the money for which is enough to cover a meal."

Gianna stared at him. How dare he call she "Gia"? And he called she stingy?

Fine! She'll remember this!

She looked away and spoke seriously, "Mr. Garcia, I noticed your forehead turning dark. There might be something unfortunate happening today. I suggest you eat some garlic to ward off evil!"

Irvin said, "You can tell fortunes?"

Gianna nodded earnestly, "Yes, I have a basic understanding of my mentor's skills."

"Haha!" Irvin lifted his cup and took a sip, laughing loudly. "You're hilarious, Miss Geller. I didn't realize you're such a joker..."

Bam!

Before he could finish his sentence, the cup in Irvin's hand suddenly shattered.

Irvin stared at it in shock. "Isn't this unscientific?"

The others were also startled, staring at Irvin with mouths agape.

"Hehe, Gia, you're amazing! By reading someone's features, you can predict fortune or misfortune!" Damian stood up excitedly, staring at the broken glass on the floor. "Irvin, you better do as Gia says and eat garlic!"

Damian was older, and many people of his generation respected the spirits and believed there were invisible things in this world.

Despite never having seen them, they would rather believe in their existence than doubt it.

Now, witnessing the cup in Irvin's hands shattering without warning, he became even more convinced that there were divine beings in this world.

Irvin said, "Old Mr. Finley, this is just a glass. Maybe the water was too hot, and therefore it broke. It happened to break when I picked it up. Gia is spouting nonsense. Do you believe her?"

"Tsk, tsk!" Damian quickly made disapproving sounds. "You can't say that. It would be best if you had respect for some things. Hurry up and do as Gia says."

Irvin was filled with resistance. "Eating garlic makes my breath stink; I'm not eating it."

He thought that Gianna was simply insane.

Was it because he was here to freeload a meal?

Did she have to come and bother him with all this spiritual talk?

To make matters worse, he was forced by Damian to eat garlic!

He honestly couldn't express his grievances.

"You rascal! Why aren't you obedient? Hurry up and go!" Damian said sternly.

Irvin reluctantly picked up another cup. "Look, nothing happens when I pick up this cup, right? We emphasize scientific methods now. There aren't so many spirits... "

Bam!

The cup shattered again!

Stiffening, Irvin held up his hand, his mouth open, but he could not speak.

Suddenly, he jumped up, his face filled with horror. "Is this for real?"

"Oh dear, you child. We've been telling you all along, but you wouldn't listen. Quickly eat the garlic. Do you want your father to lose his child??" Damian urged anxiously.

Damian watched Irvin grow up; to him, Irvin was like his own grandson. He didn't want any trouble to befall him.

Sherman and Laney also advised, "Mr. Garcia, even though we emphasize science now, we still have to believe in some things. You'd better listen to Gia. After all, she spent ten years in the Taoist temple and understands some things."

Although they didn't believe it, who could say for sure that this matter was fake?

Taryn also persuaded, "Irvin, Gianna won't harm you. Look, you picked up two cups, and each broke both times. That's a very ominous sign. You should listen to her."

"I just don't believe in superstitions." Irvin stubbornly refused to believe, so he picked up another cup, and the same thing happened. It shattered as soon as he picked it up.

Then he sat on a chair, but the chair collapsed as soon as he sat down.

This time, not only Irvin but Damian and Sherman were also worried.

Laney even ran into the kitchen and brought out a bunch of garlic, placing it in front of Irvin. She said, "Mr. Garcia, my family is poor and can't afford your mischief. You've already broken three cups and one chair. If you break anything else, my family will end up homeless."

Sherman nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Mr. Garcia. I'm the only one in my family earning money and just started working. I haven't received my first month's salary yet. If you keep causing trouble like this, my whole family will end up homeless."

Damian slapped Irvin hard and angrily said, "You idiot, causing chaos while being a guest at someone else's house. Go eat some garlic!"

Irvin wanted to cry, but eventually ate a handful of garlic under everyone's urging.

There were twenty garlic cloves in that handful, and it was so spicy that he could hardly bear it.

Everyone in the room had something to say about the incident except for Lloyd, who remained silent.

The others didn't notice, but he could see that Gianna had inserted a silver needle into Irvin's cups three times with remarkable precision. If one didn't observe, it would be impossible to tell how she did it.

Lloyd furrowed his thick eyebrows. Irvin didn't even know Gianna, so why would she target him?

Was it just because Irvin freeloaded for a meal?

Based on their interactions, Gianna didn't seem like that kind of person. She was usually easy to talk to as long as one didn't cross her boundaries.

Why would she treat Irvin this way...

After finishing the garlic, Damian said, "How about trying another cup?"

Laney felt like crying. If this didn't work, another cup would be destroyed.

But she didn't say anything because eating the garlic was Gianna's suggestion, and they had to see if it worked.

Irvin took another cup. This time, they waited for five minutes, and unbelievably, the cup didn't shatter.

He finally felt relieved.

Setting down the cup, he grinned at Gianna and said, "Hey, Gia, you're amazing. This trick works."

The only problem was that he had eaten a lot of garlic, and his breath stank!

Gianna raised her eyes and coldly said, "Don't call me 'Gia' next time."

Irvin asked, "Then what should I call you? You're younger than me, so calling you 'Gia' shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Gianna glanced at him and ignored him.

Laney had already cooked the noodles, and now that everyone had gathered, she started serving them.

Just as Laney placed the noodles on the table and everybody was ready to start the meal, Gianna's phone suddenly rang.

It was a message notification sound.

Gianna picked up her phone, glanced at the message, and immediately became severe. She put down her chopsticks and said, "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I need to go out."

"Why don't you eat first before leaving?" Laney hurriedly said.

"I'm not hungry." After saying that, Gianna returned to her room, changed into a black hoodie, put on a black cap, and left.

Lloyd watched her leave and fell into deep thought. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

He was closest to Gianna. He didn't intentionally snoop on her phone. He just casually glanced up and saw the word in the message: "potion"

But it was just one glance, and Gianna quickly put away her phone.

Was she searching for the potion, or did she already possess it?
