Chapter 47 Proven Wrong So Quickly
Simone cradled the struggling child in her arms.
The child was crying so intensely that it seemed as if he would run out of breath. Then, she took out three bronze coins from her bag and waved them over the child’s forehead before placing one coin in
his hand.
An extraordinary scene unfolded before their eyes.
Once the child grasped the coin, he surprisingly stopped thrashing around and gradually ceased crying.
With tears still on his face, he looked up at Simone with his big, watery eyes. He even murmured, “Pretty girl!”
This scene left the child’s parents astonished.
Ross‘ wife said, “The child likes beautiful ladies. Whenever he sees one, he always says ‘pretty.”
Zac smiled and chimed in. “The kid has good taste.”
Meanwhile, Simone lowered her head and gently pinched the child’s check. “You’re very cute too, little darling.”
The child immediately held onto Simone’s hand, his frown turning into a smile. “Pretty.”
Ross felt truly amazed. When Deuce mentioned that this young celebrity was skilled in physiognomy and geomancy, he was only half–convinced. Now, he had no choice but to believe him.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Gray, is my son being affected by something supernatural?”
Ross‘ wife also looked at Simone with concern. “Yes. He has been acting this way for two months, crying incessantly. He has never been this obedient.”
At this moment, she found it quite miraculous. Whenever their son was frightened and woke up crying, he would cry for over an hour, and no one could soothe him within that period. However, this young master only had to take the child into her arms and give him a coin to make him stop crying immediately.
Simone gave them an assuring look. “It’s not what you described. He’s just wearing something he shouldn’t have.”
She took the child’s other hand and removed a red string bracelet. Hanging from the bracelet was a nephrite fish pendant.
She asked, “Where did you get this?”
Ross answered, “I saw it at a stall when I went to an antique market. It seemed cute and matched my son’s horoscope, so I bought it. Is this what caused my son’s condition?”
Simone nodded. The nephrite on this bracelet contains negative energy, which causes your son to

have nightmares and wake up crying whenever he wears it. What you referred to as ‘supernatural‘ is actually a kind of negative energy caused by a magnetic field. It’s not good for their health if someone comes into contact with it.
Puzzled, Ross asked, “What? How did this fish become contaminated with negative energy?”
Simone replied, “This little bracelet was probably placed together with items from a graveyard, which is why it absorbed the negative energy. Fortunately, it didn’t absorb too much, or your son wouldn’t just wake up crying. It could lead to even worse things, perhaps even a calamity. Of course, if he wore this bracelet for a long time, he would start getting sick, and his condition would become increasingly
severe.”
In this world, geomancy and related practices were prevalent, so many people were familiar with negative energy. There were even quite a few geomancers conducting live broadcasts for physiognomy and geomancy–related matters.
Ross was startled and a little frightened. “So, it’s because of this bracelet.”
Following that, he took out his phone and checked the payment records. “You don’t say! My son did start waking up crying a few days after I brought back this bracelet.”
Ross‘ wife thought about it and confirmed his statement. “That’s right. It did start after he wore the bracelet.
Unable to hold back her anger, she pinched Ross‘ arm several times. “Why did you buy things from that place when you know it’s for your child? Why didn’t you just buy it from a store?”
She hadn’t even thought about it, but her husband’s purchase nearly caused harm to their child. Fortunately, they had invited a master over to take a look today. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
filled with regret and he muttered, “I bought it because I thought it was cute. Who would have thought things would turn out like this?”
Upon hearing her words, Ross felt relieved. That’s great. What’s important is that you can remove the negative energy. Can this coin of yours be used as well? Should I buy one?”
He thought the coin was very effective, maybe even more so than the talisman.
Though Ross was disappointed that he couldn’t buy the coin, he trusted Simone’s words. After all, she could identify the bracelet as the source of the problem with just one look, and his son stopped crying very quickly, so she indeed had remarkable abilities. Therefore, he smiled and nodded. “Sure. I believe your talisman will be effective, too.”
Simone remarked, “I didn’t bring anything to make a talisman, so I can’t make one now.”
Since the variety show was broadcast live, everything in her suitcases would be shown on camera when she opened them. As such, she didn’t bring any of those items with her.
