Maryn spent 500 thousand dollars on her plan, depleting all her wealth.
Failure was unacceptable, so Maryn figured she might as well give it a shot!
Maryn put on a terrible act as she fell clumsily onto Bryson. She pretended to grab for support, and she stuck the talisman on Bryson.
Polly was shocked, "Oh my goodness! A woman commits a despicable act under broad daylight! Is it due to inherent human nature being twisted? Has the moral standard of society declined? It's hard to believe! She must not be from around here!"
Everyone was left speechless.
Polly's words frightened Maryn. She did not confirm if the spell had activated. While she was in a panic, she felt the talisman in her hand disappear!
I must have succeeded!
Maryn breathed a sigh of relief. She was no longer afraid of what others would say to her.
Even the mere thought of this gentleman pursuing her made her heart skip a beat.
"I'm sorry!" Maryn raised her head, pretending to be apologetic as she looked at Bryson.
Lilly and Blake were speechless after witnessing the entire ordeal.
The father and daughter exchanged glances.
Even though Blake didn't observe any signs of the talisman being activated, he noticed it disappearing after it was applied to Bryson.
Maryn's action was akin to teaching the fish to swim before Lilly and Blake.
Why did Bryson allow someone to fall onto him like that?
Blake believed that he would not allow any woman to be near him.
Lilly wanted to remove the talisman immediately, but Blake held her back. He whispered, "Don't spook the animal while hunting."
Lilly was in doubt, but she withdrew her hand.
Bryson had no idea what was going on.
What's happening? I'm losing my strength with my surrounding world acting weird. Why does this woman look so much prettier all of a sudden?
Bryson noticed Maryn's apologetic expression, giving him the urge to comfort her immediately.
However, Bryson had a strong will. He retreated a few steps back, standing behind Lilly.
The situation was fishy. Bryson took safety precautions, and it wasn't because he was timid.
Maryn was disappointed. She thought Bryson would diffuse the situation for her.
However, Maryn thought it was alright because the love spell would take some time to activate. If Bryson wanted to look for Maryn, he had ways to find her contact details.
Maryn only needed to wait patiently after leaving this place!
With this thought in mind, Maryn smiled faintly as she apologized to Bettany, "I'm truly sorry for the trouble… I will deal with the injury myself. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies…"
Afterward, Maryn took the initiative to leave.
It was the first time Jack had encountered such an incident. He was baffled about what was happening with Maryn, but he still sent her out.
Bettany was also puzzled, "This is weird. Is it a misunderstanding?"
The fall Maryn took seemed deliberate, but her subsequent reaction suggested otherwise.
Maryn didn't take the opportunity to grab Bryson's attention or make any excuses to stay.
It felt like Maryn was satisfied with the interaction, and she decided to leave.
Bettany was baffled, and she stared at Bryson.
Bryson did not know how to react.
Something was wrong with Bryson.
Bryson had to urge Maryn from leaving.
Then, Blake quickly detained Bryson, "Let's go, Bryson."
Lilly held Bryson's pants, "Let's go, Uncle Bryson!"
Bryson was astonished, "What are you doing?"
Blake smiled. He whispered in an eerie tone, "Bryson, you've been cursed by a talisman."
Bryson shut his mouth immediately.
Bryson stopped resisting, and he went upstairs with Blake and Lilly obediently.
Josh quickly followed the group.
Liam, Edward, and Gilbert looked puzzled as they watched the scene unfold.
"I'm leaving. It's time for work!" Edward glanced at the time. He mumbled to himself as he left.
Edward wanted to see his niece in new outfits, but it didn't happen in the end!
Liam grabbed the lunchbox Margaret had prepared. He had left to visit Zachary in the hospital.
Hannah went downstairs happily. She was excited, "It's time for new clothes! Lilly, have you chosen your new outfit?"
"Hey, where is my sister?"
"Where is the lady delivering the clothes?"
"Where are the rest of the people?"
