Some people couldn’t help but think that Cheryl was truly kind and indeed had a good fate, as Master Sullivan had said.
Master Sullivan didn’t say anything, but in fact, he wished he could push Cheryl away!
What was she trying to prove?!
After Cheryl’s words, the malignant spirit that had been hovering around landed on Cheryl’s head!
Cheryl thought she had gained attention again, so she immediately expressed herself. “Lilly, why don’t you apologize to Master Sullivan?”
Lilly turned away. “No!”
Anthony sneered. “Who do you think you are? What right do you have to ask Lilly to apologize?”
Cheryl was dumbfounded. She soon bit her lip in grief and was about to cry.
Uneasily, she let go of Master Sullivan’s sleeve. “I’m sorry…” Cheryl apologized. “Mr. Anthony, I don’t want everyone to argue… But I’m foolish and don’t know how to express myself properly, and I angered you… Sob, sob.”
Anthony was already irritated at this point. He couldn’t understand how such a young child could put on such an act.
Tina immediately said, “Mr. Anthony, Cheryl is well-intentioned. However, she’s still a child, so she’s innocent and doesn’t know how to express herself properly. Please forgive her!”
Everyone continued to discuss the matter. They didn’t want to offend Anthony, but they also didn’t want to miss out on Master Sullivan…
As for Master Sullivan? He just wanted to leave quickly. However, he kept getting stopped by people who wanted to persuade him, causing him to feel annoyed.
Pablo raised an eyebrow, and a hint of malicious intention soon flashed across his eyes. “Lilly, you should ask Master Sullivan if he can see his own destiny.”
Lilly obediently did as she was told. “Master Sullivan, since you’re so incredible, can you see your own destiny?”
Master Sullivan frowned.
Sable immediately interjected, “Doctors can’t treat themselves, so fortune tellers can’t see their own destiny. Don’t you know this?”
Lilly shook her head as she said, “I don’t. I’m only a kid.”
Lilly then asked, “If Master Sullivan can’t do it, does it mean he isn’t that incredible?” She pouted and mumbled to herself, “How useless.”
Sable thought, “This kid is too annoying!”
“Then do you know now?” Sable said coldly.
Lilly tilted her head and said, “I do!”
Sable was speechless.
Master Sullivan said coldly, “Alright, Sable, we shouldn’t argue with a child! I’m busy, so let’s go!”
Everyone was curious about why Master Sullivan seemed to be in a rush to leave.
“Master Sullivan, please tell your own fortune!”
“Yes! Some people don’t know how amazing you are, so you should prove it to them.”
Seeing everyone’s gazes, Master Sullivan had no choice but to bite the bullet. After a moment, he said, “I’ll be facing some trouble, but I’m an honest person, so it won’t be much of an issue.”
Lilly shook her head. “Master Sullivan, you’re wrong. Let me tell your fortune!”
After she finished speaking, she rummaged through her small bag and took out an old tortoise.
The old tortoise was bewildered when it was taken out. It stretched out its neck to look around.
Everyone was stunned.
After freeing herself from Anthony’s arms, Lilly squatted down and said, “Master Sullivan, look!”
She then spun the old tortoise on the ground with its legs facing upward. After spinning around, it hit the corner of the wall and rolled back to Lilly’s feet.
Lilly stared at the old tortoise and said seriously, “Hmm, so that’s how it is!”
Everyone thought, “You just threw a tortoise out, so what do you mean by ‘that’s how it is?'”
If this was considered fortune-telling, everyone would be masters at it.
Sable laughed. “Haha, so what do you see?”
Lilly snapped her fingers as she said, “Master Sullivan is lucky! He won’t have to worry about food for his whole life! However, the boy who eats poop won’t be that lucky! He’ll only have food for ten years!”
Master Sullivan was stunned. “What is she talking about?”
Lilly continued, “Master Sullivan has embezzled a large sum of money, so he will soon be apprehended by the police and unable to escape!”
It was at that moment that everyone realized what she was referring to…
Sable exclaimed, “What nonsense are you uttering?”
His Master held a high position, and he was highly respected by everyone. Even the leaders of various organizations had invited his Master in the past. How could Master Sullivan be arrested?
As he spoke, several policemen entered through the side door and approached Master Sullivan.
“Who is Master Sullivan?!”
Everyone instinctively pointed towards Master Sullivan.
Sable quickly explained, “Officer, this is my Master. Just last month, he even visited your…”
Before he could finish speaking, the leading officer commanded, “Take him into custody!”
Sable was stunned. He panicked and said, “Why are you arresting my Master? Don’t you know who he is? Where is your Chief? Bring your Chief here!”
Silence filled the room as everyone stared at Sable.
Was he being too arrogant or did he lack basic manners? How could he dare to ask for the Chief in a public area? Was he intentionally looking for trouble?
The officer sneered. “Your Master, Robert Sullivan, worked in an electronics factory after graduating from elementary school. He was later imprisoned for two years due to theft. Upon release, he resorted to fortune-telling under a bridge to scam people. He even swindled $30,000 from a woman who needed it for medical treatment!” He presented the documents as he spoke.
If what the officer said was true, it meant that Master Sullivan was indeed a scammer…
Everyone felt foolish for supporting him earlier.
Their perception of Master Sullivan had completely changed.
Panicking, Master Sullivan tried to defend himself. He insisted, “I disagree with your accusations! You’re framing me! I demand to hire a lawyer…”
Sable chimed in, “Yes, there must be a mistake! My Master saved Young Master Shaw yesterday. You can call Mr. Shaw if you don’t believe it!”
He mentioned the Shaw family to confuse the police.
Just then, a cold voice cut through the tension. “He didn’t save Ivan.”
Colton and Ivan entered the room.
Colton’s tone was icy as he addressed Master Sullivan. “I think I should ask Master Sullivan about this. Did you scam my mother out of a bank card yesterday?”
Master Sullivan was now hopeless.
How could he argue if Colton exposed him?
Wearing a cold expression, Master Sullivan realized there was nothing more he could do.
The police promptly handcuffed him and led him away.
As they watched Master Sullivan being taken away, everyone felt an inexplicable mix of emotions.
