Chapter 369 Please Teach Me

Maggie sank into despair when she saw the conman's reaction.

She wondered if her luck had only gotten worse after that laughable sham of a ritual Mr. Carter had conducted. If the situation continued, would it ultimately bring disaster to the entire Grant family?

"Mr. Carter, do you know what was the biggest mistake you made today?" Alex asked mildly, watching Noah bow repeatedly in front of him with a detached sense of interest.

Maggie and the others looked at Alex curiously. He had stopped her from moving the potted plants on two occasions. Could he really be a master geomancer?

"Please enlighten me, Great Master!" Noah continued to blubber pathetically.

Alex swept a look at Maggie and said, "Originally, Ms. Grant's room was showing the initial signs of forming a Dragon Lock Spell, but the potted plant serves as a lifeline for her. When you insisted on moving that plant out of the room, the lifeline was severed, solidifying a spiritual deadlock for her fortunes completely. It would be surprising if she didn't experience continuous bad luck. In fact, by my calculations, when Ms. Grant's bad luck reaches a peak in the next ten days, she will ultimately die in this

room."

Noah stared in shock. He had never thought that his half-baked practice for the sake of keeping up his deception would actually harm anyone. Now he finally understood why so many misfortunes had descended on Ms. Grant after he ordered them to move the potted plant out of the room. This situation was entirely his fault.

Maggie was thunderstruck. If she knew Alex was the real geomancer here, she would have listened to him with no objections.

"But, Mr. Jefferson, if we moved the plant back into its original position, wouldn't it solve the problem?" Noah looked at Alex eagerly, latching on the opportunity to save his skin.

Maggie was hopeful that the solution would solve her problem.

"It's too late. The Dragon's Lock has closed around the room, shutting the passage of the lifeline, It won't change a thing."

Refusing to accept Alex's conclusion, Maggie asked, "My room was perfectly fine last time. Before I renovated it, I had a geomancer look over the plans for my room. How could a Dragon Lock Spell form here?"

"Initially, the arrangement in your room increased your good fortunes massively. In our practice, we call this arrangement Heaven's Favor. But since this year is the Year of the Dragon, which is also your Zodiac Birth Year. It clashes with Heaven's Favor and results in some natural changes to your destiny. Once your birthday passed, the arrangement of Heaven's Favor gradually turns into the Dragon Lock Spell." Maggie was shocked. She could never have guessed that he would know her Zodiac Birth Year. Her belief in Alex was slowly overriding her other concerns about him, but she still asked, "Okay. Even if what you're saying is true, why can't I resolve this by putting the potted plant in its original place?"

It was what everyone else was thinking. Why wouldn't it work? Warner, Noah, and the others all turned to look at Alex.

Alex remained unfazed. "I'll give you an analogy. When you toss a pebble into a lake, you'll see ripples spread across its calm surface. Even if you retrieve the pebble, it wouldn't have mattered because the

ripples have already formed and spread across the lake."

Noah sat on the ground limply, a look of despair on his face.

Is this truly a hopeless situation?

Ms. Grant will never forgive me.

Maggie stared at Alex. All traces of suspicions dissipated from her mind. There was a look of newfound respect in her eyes.

"Mr. Jefferson, please, save me!" Maggic heard herself saying desperately. According to the latter's predictions, she only had ten days left to live. "No matter how much money you want, just take it, as long as you can break the Dragon Lock Spell!"

Stefan also chimed in hurriedly, "Mr. Jefferson, please help Ms. Grant. I know you can save her."

Maggie gave Stefan a look filled with pure gratitude. Even if she had to suffer a loss, she vowed to help the Joneses at any cost as long as Alex could break the Dragon's Lock.
