Before Jordan could say anything else. Philip hadn’t shielded her, the cane would have hit Milly.
was standing nearby, jumped up in anger. If Jordan
That’s nonsense, pure nonsense! How dare you speak such nonsense, not knowing the rules!”
Milly was taken aback.
She had no clue she would end up at the temple today, let alone needing to pray to Buddha and seek guidance. If she had known, she definitely wouldn’t have come.
Andrew was furious when he saw Philip lecturing his well–behaved granddaughter–in–law right in front of him. He stormed over with his cane and launched a barrage of accusations.
“Philip, what’s your problem? You’re picking on my Milly in front of everyone. Do you think I’m already dead?”
Philip raised an eyebrow. They often bantered, but losing face over a recent draw had only fueled his anger. He shot back without missing a beat. “Your Milly? When did my granddaughter become yours? Why are you always trying to claim everything as your own?”
Milly stayed silent.
Ilhat a joke, huh?
Ugh. I just want to be treated like a normal person
Andrew was fuming when he heard Philip refusing to admit it. “You, Philip, you’re refusing to admit it. aren’t you? Back then, you lost to me and gave Milly to our family! Now you won’t admit it? I swear, even Buddha won’t forgive you!”
Philip raised an eyebrow. “Quit dragging Buddha into this. Buddha doesn’t play favourites. And you? Ha, you’re hardly family! Those angry words during our chess games weren’t serious. You lost to me several aeroplanes already–why can’t I see them?”
“Fine, fine! Tomorrow, I’ll have someone buy you ten of them. In return, let Milly marry into my family as my granddaughter–in–law!”
“Hah! Do you of junk aeroplanes?”
think the Burnetts‘ treasure those pieces
“You, you, you….
Seeing the two old men, both not very agile on their feet, escalating towards a fight, Jordan quickly stepped in to intervene. “Grandpa, Old Mr. Tate, please stop arguing. This is a temple, we should keep. calm. Milly has already gone to draw a divination stick.”
Milly couldn’t handle these two old men anymore.
Shouldn’t they become more mature with age? Why are they acting like children, comparing everything and arguing about everything? Isn’t that exhausting?
She had a headache.

Milly didn’t quite understand his smile. “Wha… you smiling at?”
George didn’t answer directly but calmly asked, “Do you want to draw first, or should I?”
Milly glanced at him and said. “You go first.”
To her, whether she drew a good one or a bad one, it didn’t matter much, and she didn’t have any particular expectations.
“Sure

George reached out with his long, fair fingers and picked one casually. When he saw what it said, his expression immediately turned cold.
Standing next to George. Milly looked up and saw the words on his stick “Very Unauspicious,”
Master Karuna took the divination stick and glanced at it, then sighed softly, clasping his hands together. “Oh, Amitabha The negativity and aggression are too strong here, too much violence. It’s going to lead to a tough and lonely life. The Buddha teaches that good actions bring good results. So, you need to pay
more attention.”
George pursed his lips tightly, saying nothing, his hand clenched into a fist in his pocket.
Too much negativity…
A tough and lonely life….
These words came up every year, and he was sick of hearing them.
William, who tagged along, leaned over to see the “Very Unauspicious” stick in Master Karuna’s hand and couldn’t resist quipping, “Another very unauspicious? Did you forget to donate to the temple? How come you always draw the worst one?”
George gave him a side–eye, his voice cold. “Annoying”
William pursed his lips, instantly silenced.
Spotting Milly standing nearby, his eyes lit up. With a big grin, he exclaimed, “Hey, Boss. Missed you so
much!”
“Ah–woo!”
Before she could even get close, a small figure appeared in front of Milly, ready to pounce on him like he was going to wrestle.
Ugh… It was totally unnecessary because as soon as William took a half step forward, he was grabbed by
the throat.
“Ugh, George, don’t choke me like that, it’s suffocating
George, feeling generous, let go of him and said coldly. “If you have something to say, say it properly here. What kind of behaviour is this in front of Buddha?”
William felt aggrieved. “I just haven’t seen my boss in so long. I feel thrilled, you know.”

theung man who caught his attention, his eyebrows raised
After speaking, he was fiercely blocked by the arrogantly. “Who are you?”
“Ah–woo!” Apollo showed his ferocity, his eyes filled with unrestrained cruelty, like a wolf cub ready to devour.
“Hey, you little brat!
William had always been well protected by the Tates, his heart warm and sunny. He couldn’t see anything wrong at all, just taking it as the kid challenging his authority, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves to teach him a lesson,
George could clearly sense the experiment subject’s agitation. Apollo was loyal but also prone to extreme reactions. The young and inexperienced William wouldn’t stand a chance against him, even George himself might not come out unscathed if he faced Apollo directly.
Quickly reaching out, he pulled William behind him and sternly rebuked, “Shut up!”
William stomped his foot. “George, why are you siding with him and not me? I don’t like you anymore! Hmph!”
George shot him a cold, oppressive glance. William immediately wilted under his pressure.
Although he didn’t know why his older brother suddenly got angry, he found him truly scary when he was. It was best fot to stir up trouble.
Sure enough, as soon as William stepped away from Milly. Apollo’s tense energy eased up.
George looked at Milly and said, “Milly, go ahead and pick a divination stick.”
Milly nodded. “Okay”
She picked a stick even faster than George, grabbing one from the top without hesitation, eager to see
what it said.
But…
Looking left and right, up and down, turning it around, even flipping it over–there wasn’t anything written on it.
Master Karuna found himself in an unprecedented situation, furrowing his brow as he encountered this dilemma. “Umm…”
The young monk holding the divination sticks was also stunned, quickly explaining. “Master, there are indeed one hundred sticks in the tube, not one more or less. This has never happened before–an empty stick with no words on it.”
Master Karuna shook his head. “Amitabha. This is fate. You have your own noble destiny. This bamboo stick tube is just a mere object, it can’t predict the luck of such an important person.
Milly stayed quiet.
An important person?

No wonder Philip and Andrew insisted on coming to this temple for prayers. This monk sure knew how to talk, leaving everyone confused. Now, I feel pressured to donate even if I don’t want to.
Master Karuna’s words reached everyone in the main hall.
