Chapter 112 Divination
Although William had inherited means of divination, his focus had always been on medicine and martial arts. Therefore, he explored the rest of the means briefly without delving deeply into them.
He replied casually, “I have some knowledge in that area, enough to see through that person’s tricks.”
Theodore pondered before saying, “When that wise master departed, he mentioned that he would send someone in the future, and I must obey that person’s commands without question, or else I will face a calamity”
William asked, “So, the person that the wise master spoke of has already appeared, and Keith was the one who told you about it?”
Theodore nodded. “Keith showed me a string of prayer beads that belonged to that master. He also told me that the master had sent a proxy to take over the Lloyd Family’s assets.”
“Do you believe him?” asked William.
Theodore sighed. To tell you the truth. I’m skeptical about this.”
William shook his head. “This is a conspiracy. If you believe him, you’re giving away your wealth.”
Theodore replied, “But he is my son.”
“Are you sure?” William suddenly asked.
Theodore was shocked and looked at him in surprise. “What did you say?”
William said, “What I’m saying is, Keith is not your biological son!”
“That’s impossible!” Theodore replied firmly. “If he isn’t, then whose son could he be?”
Man’s dignity was often at stake when it came to believing such things.
William sighed lightly. “The distribution of the body’s meridians is often passed down from father to son. Normally, a father and son would have at least 60 to 70 percent similarity in the distribution of their meridians. However, your meridians and Keith’s aren’t even one percent similar, so it’s unlikely you have at blood relationship.”
Theodore murmured, “That’s impossible. He has looked just like me since he was a child.”
“It’s not impossible for someone to look like another person, for instance, through plastic surgery. Have you ever noticed if Keith underwent any significant changes in his appearance during a particular period?”
Stunned, Theodore pondered before his expression changed. “He went to study abroad at thirteen years. old, and I noticed that he had changed a lot when he returned. Is it possible that he had plastic surgery
then?”
“Correct!” William continued, “As a medical professional, I can tell you that his face has been surgically altered in at least a dozen places, including his cheekbones, chin, eyes, and nose. Why would a man, especially one as wealthy as lim, need so many plastic surgeries? If he did undergo such a procedure. there must be some other motive behind it.”

moment, he appeared to have a realization and suddenly looked up to ask, “Mr. Barrett, do you think that child is related to that person?”
William responded indifferently, Tim not sure. However, even if Keith isn’t related to that person, he must be close. If you transfer Lloyd Corporation’s ownership to Keith, it will eventually end up in the hands of that person.”
At this point, Theodore was at least 70 percent convinced Anger flickered in his eyes as he exclaimed. What a devious scheme!”
William looked at Theodore. “They’ve been taking advantage of you from the very beginning. Knowing that you are destined for great wealth and success, they sent people to get close to you and make you believe that everything you have is thanks to them. They instilled fear and awe in your heart until you were willing to give them everything. Think about it. Why did they choose.to make their move at this particular moment?” he questioned.
Theodore narrowed his eyes. “They made their move now because they knew I was seriously ill and might die soon. Once I was gone. I wouldn’t be of any use to them anymore. But they didn’t anticipate that you would save me.”
“That’s right.” William nodded. “And think about why Keith wanted to transfer your assets to the Jenkinses before.”
“The Jenkinses?” Theodore’s heart sank. “Does that mean the family is also under their control?”
William replied, “I don’t know much about the Jenkins Family, but all the evidence suggests they must be involved in this matter.”
Theodore fell into deep thought and said, “After that person left, I met Ruby. I was an unknown nobody while she was the young lady of the Jenkins Family. The Jenkinses were already worth millions and had a significant presence in both legal and illegal circles. Now that I look back, I couldn’t have achieved success so quickly without their help.
William agreed. ‘Indeed, with the Jenkins Family’s vast financial resources and your luck, how could you not have become wealthy and powerful?”
Theodore laughed bitterly. “But who could’ve orchestrated such a grand conspiracy? Who are they? That’s sixty years‘ worth of planning. Who could’ve possibly had the patience to see it through?”
William replied, “You’re wrong. They can control not only the Lloyds and Jenkinses but also other affluent families.”
Theodore suddenly felt a strong sense of fear and muttered, “Even if I understand all of this, can I possibly
resist them?”
William remained silent before responding. “I don’t know. It’s hard to imagine just how powerful this force can be. Keith threatened me earlier, saying he knew someone from an ancient martial arts family. Perhaps this individual is connected to the same force we’re up against.”
Theodore’s expression suddenly aged. “So, does this mean have no choice but to submit to them?”
William suddenly laughed. “Did you forget? I can also make divination!TM
Startled, Theodore looked at him. “Are you saying you can read my fortune?”

William smiled and retrieved five Emperor’s magic money from his pocket, turning them over in his hands. He recited a few words before tossing them onto the table. The five coins scattered randomly, and he opened his third eye to see the pattern that had faintly formed on top of the coins.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before suddenly saying, “You can live to be 103 years old!”
Theodore was a bit surprised. I can live that long?”
William chuckled as he said, “So, don’t worry about these people. As long as you’re alive, the Lloyd Family will remain under your control.”
Theodore was worried. “But what if they come after me?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“They won’t!” William was certain. “According to the hexagram, you will live to be 103 years old and lead a peaceful and worry–free life until then. If they were to target you, the hexagram would not indicate such a future.
