Chapter 714 The End Is The Beginning
“Well, thank God Sean doesn’t have someone he likes who is already dead. Otherwise, I’d never date him,” Eli exclaimed.
Stella remained quiet.
Elvis looked at Eli worriedly, his gaze filled with concern as he shifted his eyes to Stella.
Stella’s eyes were red as she gripped Eli’s hand tightly.
“What’s wrong?” Eli sensed that Stella was acting strangely.
“Will you tell me what Master Olgic says to you after he tells you your fortune?” Stella asked.
“Sure.”
…
There was a large group of people lining up at the foot of the mountain, waiting to see Master Olgic.
Stella lined up with Eli and waited for their turn obediently.
A young clergyman ran over and bowed to Stella. “Miss, Master Olgic invites you to the main hall.”
Eli looked at Stella in surprise. “We’re so lucky.”
“Mm,” Stella replied.
They followed the clergyman and soon arrived outside the church. “Miss Grace, please.”
“Eli, wait for me at the door,” Stella instructed.
Eli nodded and craned her neck to look inside curiously.
Stella went in first.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Master Olgic still looked the same. He wore a glossy white robe. Putting down the rosary in his hand, he looked at Stella and said with a slight smile, “These words are the answers I have for you.”
Stella glanced at the words on the paper and read it out. “‘Like a dream, the end is also the beginning’. Could you tell me what these words mean?”
“You are a brilliant person, and I’m sure that you’ll get it soon enough, you wouldn’t even need a month to decipher it. That’s all I have to say to you, there’s no need for me to see your friend at the door. Both of you may leave now, ” Master Olgic nodded calmly. There wasn’t the slightest change on his face, and he looked tranquil and serene.
“There’s one thing that I don’t understand, Master Olgic. Were you ever bored of this ordinary human life? If you have never felt that way before, what do you think is the purpose of life then?” Stella asked softly, seeking advice from the wise man.
Master Olgic smiled. “Everyone has different views on life and their own ways of living it. Although I have seen what’s on the other side, even something as simple as gardening is enough for me to enjoy life. I could watch as flowers bloom and wilt, and I could admire the clouds in the sky. As for you, you’re only seeking one thing. You need to let go of that thing, only then would you be able to enjoy life. If you don’t, everything will only feel empty.”
Stella understood what he meant.
She had always been able to read between the lines.
Only by letting Jasper go, would she be able to start a new life and choose a man who loved her.
However, she was unwilling to let him go. Even if it was a burden, she was willing to carry it with her forever.
“You said that it’s like a dream and that the end is also the beginning. Will I ever be with him again?” Stella asked, her eyes shining with expectation.
“I’ve already said enough,” Master Olgic refused to answer her question.
This was her second time asking him this. If he had intended to answer this question, he would’ve done so already. Even if she were to ask him the third time, she wouldn’t get her answer either.
“Could I ask a question for my friend then?”
“No. However, I could tell you that she was born with a rough destiny. Originally, she was just a carefree pig in the forest that was saved by a phoenix. She recognized the phoenix as her godmother and learned the skills from it. Before the phoenix died, it gave her the pill of life. So, she is both a phoenix and a pig. Because of her unique circumstances, her life may look ordinary, but it isn’t. I can’t tell her fortune, I’m sorry. Alger, see her off,” Master Olgic said to the clergyman at the door.
Stella knew that she would put others in a difficult position if she were to stay any longer. She nodded and said, “Thank you, Master.”
She turned around and went out.
“Is it my turn now?” Eli asked curiously.
Stella shook her head apologetically. “Let’s go, I have something to tell you.”
“What’s the matter?” Eli asked in confusion.
“The video of Yvonne pushing Natasha into the snake pit has been circulating on the internet. They’ve captured the real Natasha and kept an imposter by Yvonne’s side. The videos where they were preparing to assassinate her were also uploaded. Soon enough, your identity is going to be exposed, so we can’t have you staying by Sean’s side anymore. I’m arranging for you to leave the country today, and I think that it’s better if you never come back.”
Eli stared at Stella, her mind went blank. “Are you joking?”
“I’m not. The person who had gone to look for Sean yesterday was Natasha’s brother. He came to look for his sister. Sean has fallen into a trap since yesterday,” Stella passed her phone to Eli. “You’ll understand everything once you see this.”
Eli immediately turned on the phone and browsed the comments online.
The wave of hate comments was even more vicious than the ones in the morning. Many netizens were trying to find out who Sean’s mistress was.
“Sean is trying to come up with a way to protect you, but once the Harington family strikes, they’ll pretend to be the victim and sacrifice you to protect themselves. When that happens, you won’t be able to leave even if you wanted to,” Stella warned her.
“I’m going to see him,” Eli said, her eyes turning red.
Stella hugged Eli. “The media is all over the President’s Mansion right now. You’ll be exposed if you go there. Also, there’s no way you’ll be able to enter.”
“I’ll find a way. I can’t leave without even seeing him for one last time, Stella.” Eli looked at her. “You know how loyal I am, so how could I just abandon him like this? He said that he would never leave me even if he couldn’t be the President or even if he was captured. Now that this is happening to him, he’ll have nothing left if I leave.”
“You need to be rational, you showing up is not going to help. Instead, you’ll just confirm the fact that he cheated. As long as you don’t show up, he could still argue his way out of it. If you go, not only will you be attacked by the crowd, you’ll drag him down too.”
“What should I do then? Yes, I should call him.” Eli immediately took out her phone and dialed Sean’s number.
When Sean didn’t call her the day before, she felt relaxed as she thought she had been granted freedom for the whole day.
However, she didn’t want this freedom to go on forever. She’d rather be stuck by his side.
Sean didn’t pick up the call and this made Eli so anxious that she wanted to burst into tears, but she knew that she had to control her emotions. Her mind would be in a muddled mess if she did not keep her emotions in check.
Sean still didn’t pick up his phone.
This fueled Eli’s worries. She continued to dial his number.
Yet Sean still didn’t pick up.
Eli continued to redial his number.
“That’s enough, Eli. Don’t make things difficult for him. Do you remember what I told you before? If you love him, then do as he wishes,” Stella persuaded.
“If he loves me, shouldn’t he do what I want too? If he doesn’t love me, then why should I love him back?” Eli choked with sobs. She wiped the corners of her eyes and continued to dial his number again like a madwoman.
Sean finally answered the call, “Hello.”
She listened to his familiar voice that was filled with sadness. Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably and she sniffled, trying to control her emotions. “What they’re saying online, is that the truth?”
