Chapter 369 Dissatisfaction

As expected, Steven was displeased with the outcome when he heard it from the geomancy

association.

He questioned, “So, Master Gordon has become powerful enough to manipulate and control people? If

that’s the case, why didn’t he directly control my son and me to take away our fortune? Wouldn’t that

have been more convenient?”

The person in charge responded, “He is not that powerful. But he used a type of flower that can

manipulate the mind. It only works on individuals with weak willpower. If he targeted you, it won’t work.”

Steven didn’t believe it at all. He had suspected for a long time that Master Gordon and Jodie had

colluded.

It definitely wasn’t a relationship of manipulation and control. “Why would Master Gordon treat us like

this? Is it just to take away our fortune?” He questioned again, “There are many people with better

fortune than my sons, so why is he targeting our family? It doesn’t make sense.”

The

person

in charge explained, “We discovered that Master Gordon holds a grudge against your family, which is

why he did this. In those years, it was also because of this grudge that he deliberately calculated to

have Jodie enter your family.”

Steven was stunned. “He has a grudge against our family? What a grudge?” He had no idea. about

this.

The supervisor said, “More than twenty years wife worked as a maid in your family. But due to certain

circumstances, she was scolded and dismissed by your wife. After leaving, she suffered a mental

breakdown and died in a car accident. She was pregnant at the time, so it was a double tragedy. As a

result, he believes that it was your wife’s fault and has held a grudge against your family. Not only did

part of his plan. He wanted to control and manipulate Jodie to take away the fortune of your entire

family. To make all of you miserable, that would be his revenge.”

After speaking, he handed Steven a document that they had found. “You can take a look at this. If you

still don’t believe it, you can investigate it yourselves.”

Steven took the document and examined it.

When he saw a photo of Master Gordon’s wife, he indeed recognized her.

He mainly remembered her because she had entered his study and was searching for

something.

His wife happened to discover her and suspected that she was attempting to steal business. secrets.

So, she scolded her and dismissed her.

He later investigated this woman to see if she was a business spy planted by his family. But he didn’t

find anything, so he didn’t pursue it further.

So, all of this was triggered because of this woman?

But he felt that something wasn’t right; it couldn’t be that simple.

He pondered for a moment and asked, “If Master Gordon can become the revered geomancy master in

our group, then his own abilities should not be weak, and he shouldn’t be lacking

So why would his wife come to work as a maid in our house? It doesn’t make

The supervisor knew that he would question this.

He presented another document, “Her younger brother used to be the manager of your opponent’s

company. So, he asked his sister to steal business information from you. Because she wasn’t a

professional, your wife discovered it. The main reason why Master Gordon holds a grudge against your

family is that he believes you were responsible for his wife’s death. Logically speaking, it was his wife’s

fault, and the car accident was not caused by your arrangement. But he became consumed by

madness and only sought revenge. That’s why he set up so many traps and committed so many

wrongdoings.”

This explanation left Steven with no room for argument.

This person’s point was that Master Gordon himself had issues, which led to all of these troubles.

And it was all because of his wife.

He furrowed his brow and asked, “How do you plan to handle this?”

The supervisor replied, “Master Gordon will be expelled from the geomancy association, and his

geomancy certification will be revoked. In the future, he will not be allowed to engage in this profession

again. After that, we will hand him over to the special department for processing. He will enter a special

prison for punishment. However, he hasn’t had the chance to inflict the most substantial harm on your

family yet. But due to the severe circumstances, he should be sentenced to around twenty years.”

Steven pressed further, “What about Jodie?”

The supervisor explained, “Jodie was under Master Gordon’s control, and her actions were not of her

own volition. While she is considered a victim and has suffered backlash and

harm, she will also face a two-week punishment from the geomancy association. After this period, she

will be released from our custody.”

Steven found this outcome unsatisfactory.

Jodie didn’t seem like someone manipulated by others in his eyes.

However, he understood that the decision had been made by the geomancy association, and his role

was merely to be informed, not consulted.

In public, wealthy individuals might yield, but geomancy masters often consider themselves superior to

ordinary people.

If one offended them, it could result in geomancy traps or tampering with ancestral graves, bringing

misfortune upon the offender.

This was why there were geomancy associations and special departments to regulate such

matters.

However, in this case, the geomancy association seemed determined to protect Jodie, leaving Steven

with no real choice.

Sarcastically, he commented, “You can call it whatever you want; my objections don’t seem to matter.”

The supervisor smiled. “Mr. Gray, if you have objections, feel free to voice them.”

Steven raised an eyebrow. “Then I believe there’s a significant issue with Jodie. She intentionally

harmed my son. Can’t you send her to prison as well?”

The supervisor regretfully replied, “I’m sorry; based on our investigation, she is also considered a

victim. We cannot send her to prison.”

Steven sneered, “Then what else is there to say?” Despite his dissatisfaction, he decided to file a

complaint with the special department upon returning to Cebros.

“Leaving that matter aside, can you arrange for the geomancy master to escort us back to Cebros, as

per my previous request?” Despite his displeasure with the outcome, hiring a geomancy master was

still necessary, and he was willing to pay the required fee.

The supervisor assured him, “That’s not a problem. Coincidentally, two geomancy masters are

returning to Cebros, and they can accompany you tomorrow.”

Steven nodded and didn’t prolong the conversation.

He then left with the information provided by the supervisor.
