Chapter 441
Andre was speechless. If he wanted to listen to his unborn son’s heartbeat, he’d wait until his young
wife fell asleep, and then he’d listen in. Why would he need to pay?
“How much did you spend?” Between his father and his wife, Andre shamelessly sided with his wife.
He led his father to believe that he too had paid.
Hansen realized he had actually gotten a bargain, and he was grinning from ear to ear. “Ah, I paid
$8888 too.”
He thought he’d gotten a great deal and was worried that Andre would be upset if he found out he’d
paid less. Earlier that day, Mia quietly reminded him, “Dad, my husband paid $8888. Don’t let him know
you paid less. It might cause some friction between us.”
Hansen left cheerfully.
Andre was a little worried about his father’s naivety.
Back in the bedroom, Mia was already curled up in bed, waiting for him with a gleeful look.
Andre approached and sat on the edge of the bed. “How much did you trick my dad into paying today?”
“Just for good luck, I had him pay $7777, so he could listen to our son’s heartbeat for free.”
Andre looked at his money-loving wife. “Mia, listen to my advice. Don’t ever go into business. I’m afraid
you might swindle people to death.”
Mia rolled over from the bed and snuggled up to Andre’s side. “It’s not that scary. I’m just trying to get
money from the rich.”
Mia nestled against her husband and asked softly, “Honey, has Mr. Marlow been arrested?”
Andre turned to look at his wife who was asking cautiously.
Mia quickly explained why she had made that assumption. “I’ve been bored lately, watching the news
with your dad. I noticed that Mr. Marlow’s position is now held by someone else and his role is
temporarily filled by another person. But if you don’t want me to know, you don’t have to tell me.”
Seeing her husband’s inquisitive gaze, she quickly explained that she didn’t need an answer. The more
sensitive and cautious she was, the more Andre didn’t have the heart to refuse. He was even more
surprised that Mia, a delicate woman, could speculate so much from watching the news.
“The situation is confidential, and hasn’t been announced publicly. Mr. Marlow is currently being
detained. The case is so significant that all information is being tightly controlled. Don’t mention this
when you’re chatting with friends on your phone. Just act as if you don’t know. Don’t talk about this with
Molly and Leo. Chad uncovered a big case, so he can’t even go home now. He’s under investigation.”
“Ah? Molly must be worried sick.”
At the Byrne household.
Molly hadn’t seen Chad for a week. She only knew that five days ago, Chad had called her to tell her to
stay home, not to wander around, and to take care of herself. He said he was going on a training
program for a few days. Her intuition told her this was an excuse, but for Chad’s peace of mind, she
agreed.
These past few days, their father rarely came home, leaving Molly and her mother to look after the
grandparents.
She’d tried calling Chad several times, but no one picked up. Molly spent every day worrying, and she
wasn’t the only one. Coleen was too distracted to work.
After work one evening, Molly went to her brother’s workplace to look for him, only to find that Donnie
wasn’t there either.
She also ran into Stephania, Donnie’s girlfriend, who was looking for him.
“Your boyfriend’s missing too?” Molly asked.
Stephania said, “Your boyfriend’s missing too?”
Molly replied, “Not my boyfriend, my brother.”
Stephania was embarrassed. Their questions indirectly confirmed that the men they cared about had
been missing for several days.
Molly looked at the girl who was dressed in anime merchandise from head to toe, surprised that Donnie
would like this type.
“Molly, what’s your brother’s zodiac sign? I can do a tarot reading for him, and see if it’s good or bad.”
Molly was surprised. “You can read tarot?”
Stephania nodded, very proud of her skill. “I have over three million followers on Instagram. Thousands
of people ask me to read their tarot every day.”
Molly was genuinely surprised. She thought Stephania was just playing around, but she was actually
quite popular.
Molly immediately gave her brother’s birthdate and zodiac sign.
The two of them went to a coffee shop, and sat in a corner. Stephania took out a piece of paper and a
deck of cards from her bag.
Molly was unfamiliar with all of this. It was all new to her. She saw people checking their horoscope all
the time, but she just thought of it as a game.
Before long, Stephania looked at the notes on the paper and said to Molly, “Chad will be ok. The cards
show that he’s in a difficult situation right now, but don't worry. This difficulty is actually an opportunity
for him. It’s not a bad thing.”
“Is there anything bad?” Molly asked urgently.
Stephania said, “It seems like Chad has been losing money.”
Molly heard this and felt a little embarrassed. “Maybe, possibly, perhaps, I should admit that I’ve spent
all of my brother’s money.”
Stephania burst out laughing. “That’s very possible. The cards show that Chad’s money has all been
spent on his family. Molly, do you want me to do a reading for you?”
Molly thought it sounded like fun, so she nodded. “How does it work? Do I just give you my birth
information?”
“What do you want to know about? Love, fate, education, career, yearly fortune, or financial fortune?”
These were the most commonly requested readings.
Molly thought for a moment and said, “I want to know about my current situation.” Content of

“You don’t seem to care about money or love.” Stephania spread the cards out on the table. “Look at
the cards, and use your intuition to pick the one that resonates with you the most.”
Molly pointed to a card in the middle.
Stephania picked up and glanced at the note. “You were injured recently?”
“Holy smokes, how’d you know about that? Can you predict the past too?” Molly was utterly shocked!
Stephania felt like she needed to let Molly know about the detailed care her brother had for her. Her Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
intuition was telling her so.
