After some covert maneuvering by Astrid, Lance successfully met with the fortune teller, Mrs. Lee.
Under Astrid’s instructions, Mrs. Lee delivered a well-crafted message to Lance, which seemed plausible and convincing. It left Lance with no choice but to believe it.
In truth, Lance also harbored hopes of arranging a marriage between Charles and the Thompsons. After all, Charles was his favorite son, and any advantages resulting from this alliance would undoubtedly be given to him first.

However, the hope for success seemed faint.
