Chapter 367 An Avalanche Of Bad Luck

Stuck at the customs, they were forced to pay millions in costs every day. The current situation was slowly but surely driving them to the end of their ropes.

Maggie was frustrated with her predicament. Noah had already performed a ritual of overcoming bad fortune on her, allowing her to transform all the negative challenges in her life into positive outcomes. There was no way she could still be so unlucky.

Did he lie?

She turned a lingering glance on Noah before continuing to speak to Fabian over the phone. "I want you to investigate the source of our problem. This needs to be solved today, no matter what."

"With all due respect, Ms. Grant, our buyer has already checked a sizeable sample of our stock and found problems with each item. They don't replace us trustworthy anymore," Fabian said.

"You can't just give up like this either. Who's going to pay for this loss?" Maggie said unhappily.

"I'll look into it thoroughly again, Ms. Grant. However, you have to be prepared because it might be our

opponents sabotaging us," Fabian reded her gravely.

Maggie grunted in agreement before hanging up. Not bothering with any pretenses anymore, she looked directly at Noah.

"Mr. Carter, didn't you say that all my good fortune is restored and no bad luck should be trailing after me anymore? Why am I still stuck in this situation?" Maggie asked with a frown on her face.

He stuttered and looked anywhere but at her. "Ms. Grant, transforming fortunes isn't something that can be done immediately. You have to give it some time.""

Maggie's frown deepened. She couldn't replace the words to retort.

"Well, Ms. Grant, since your problems here are already solved, then I'll be leaving. Transforming your fortunes requires time, so I beg you to be patient. By tomorrow, your good fortunes will arrive." Noah was smiling awkwardly as tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead. He was dying to make his escape.

Before he could even take another step toward the door, Alex intercepted him with a smile, "Come now, Mr. Carter, what's the rush?"

"Get out of my way!" Noah shouted when he saw Alex blocking his path. "How dare a sham artist block my way? Are you out of your mind?"

The latter ignored him and looked at Maggie instead. "Ms. Grant, don't you replace this suspicious? Mr. Carter just transformed your fortunes, but you immediately landed yourself in a pile of bad luck. Do you really think it's a coincidence?"

She could see the logic in Alex's words. "No offense, but I still feel that there's something suspicious about this entire affair, Mr. Carter. Please stay and help me settle it completely. Just tell me how much money you need."

There was an imperceptible change in Noah's expression and he glared at Alex vengefully before turning to Maggie. "Ms. Grant, you can't seriously expect your transformed fortunes to reach the Cordinan continent in such a short time. I'm sure there's no correlation between your troubles here and your luck. In fact, I'll assure you again-by tomorrow, this trouble of yours will be settled."

Maggie was half-convinced that Noah was right as well. His explanation was not without its own logic.

Her luck had just been restored to normal. She could not expect it to precede her and spread to Napoli immediately,

"Alright then. Please allow Mr. Carter to leave then, Mr. Jefferson," Maggie said before feeling a sudden stab of pain in her lower abdomen.

She almost fell to the ground. Her hands flew to her abdomen, and she stiffened as the cramps ripped through her body. Sweat beaded on her forehead.

Supporting herself on the frame of a nearby television, Maggie barely pulled herself upright, breathing shallowly through the flashes of pain. Her period had just ended after the holiday last week. She shouldn't be having any cramps now.

Pangs of pain stabbed

she supported herself ongle repeatedly in her stomach as she gasped for breath. She could only stand if

the corner of the television.

Suddenly, there was a loud crack. The heavy television tumbled free from its mounting frame on the wall.

The huge screen came falling on her legs. Frozen in place, Maggie could only scream, unable to move away from the danger.
