Chapter 371
371 Flaunting Her Talents
Austin would never imagine a medium to look the way she did. She
was extremely beautiful and young. Grilling the rack of lamb, she
looked like a celebrity instead of a medium.
Wynter raised an eyebrow slightly. “Are you here because of the accident? You need me to perform a
cleansing ritual?”
Logan and Austin were stunned by her words, extremely impressed. How did she figure it out when
they hadn’t said anything?
The Scotts would have never let news of the incident leak out. The
only explanation left would be that the spirits told her.
Austin looked like he saw his savior. “Master, please save me!”
“I won’t get involved,” Wynter said nonchalantly. “You will pay for the sins you’ve committed yourself in
full.”
Austin went pale and turned to Ronan. “Sir Rathbone, say something,
please.”
Ronan would never go against Wynter’s decision. Rubbing his nose, he said, “She said she won’t get
involved. I guess that’s your destiny.”
Austin’s m*uth was hanging open as he approached Wynter. “Master,
I know I was wrong. If you could just-”
Suddenly, Wolf stood in front of him and crinkled his nose. He then
signed at Wynter.
Wynter stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Austin. “That
specter on you was redirected to you?”
Specter? Redirected? Austin didn’t understand what she meant.
Wynter scrutinized Austin’s features closely; he didn’t seem like a villainous individual, yet there was an
unmistakable cloud of
resentment enveloping his entire being. She could even make out the figure taking shape on his
shoulders.
Wynter tossed a mahogany twig into the fire. “I can save you, but you need to tell me who the real
perpetrator behind the accident was.”
Upon hearing this, Austin froze for a moment, his eyes darting around. Without looking at Wynter, he
told her, “The perpetrator fell off a cliff. He already paid with his life.”
“Has he really?” Wynter chuckled. Playing with a copper coin, she spoke with a tinge of mockery, “In
this world, only human hearts waver. Other entities abide by the law of an eye for an eye.
“The reason he came to you is because the real perpetrator hasn’t
been punished.”
Austin turned pale. “He? Who’s he?”
“You know very well.” Wynter looked at him, her gaze darkening. Don’t your shoulders feel heavy
carrying such a heavy burden?”
Austin’s hand trembled violently, and he instinctively looked at his shoulder. An inexplicable chill crept
up his neck.
Logan asked him to spill, but Austin was afraid of implicating hist
family.
Wynter smirked. “The real perpetrator is pushing you to take the
3/1 Flaunting Her Talents
blame, yet you’re still protecting him. Your commitment to the bro code is touching!”
“Pushing me to take the blame?” Ausin was taken aback.
Wynter responded impassively, “Haven’t you ever wondered why you could feel it so strongly since this
afternoon when you aren’t even the perpetrator? Someone from his side has set up a ritual.”
“The Scotts invited Mr. Novak to their residence, but he was only there to calm the matter down.” Austin
was in turmoil, and his vision
started to blur as he looked at Logan.
Wynter finally got the answer she wanted. “The Scotts? So, the real perpetrators are the Scotts? Do
they have information on your birthdate and horoscope?”
“They not only have mine but Logan’s and Rupert’s as well. No wonder
they asked the three of us to go over today!”
Austin didn’t care about family matters any longer. Clenching his fists, he spat out, “Mason Scott! I had
always treated him as my
brother!”
“That explains why Mr. Logan is also surrounded by a cloud of
resentment even when he had avoided the accident.” Wynter finally
understood.
She added nonchalantly, “The best way to protect himself would be to
give up three names to have the specter redirected to.”
