Chapter 182

The trainees were resting in another area, completely unaware of what had just transpired. But all the guest stars had witnessed the astonishing scene—even Evan York, who had come specifically to chat with Ethan Smith, observed Lucy White's incredible foresight in its entirety.

"That's unbelievable!" Robert Lee whispered to Vanessa Knight beside him, his eyes wide. "She saved a life from thousands of miles away?"

Vanessa stared intently at Lucy, murmuring, "I've met many metaphysicians, but none as accurate as her."

Evan absentmindedly touched the jade material in his pocket, his gaze growing more fervent. He silently resolved to ask Ethan for an introduction—he needed to purchase more talismans blessed by Master Lucy.

"Ms. White, I can't thank you enough," Ryan Clark said, his voice thick with emotion. "If it weren't for you, my brother would've—"

Lucy waved it off. "It was nothing."

"I know the rules," Ryan said, pulling out his phone. "No reading goes unpaid. Name your price."

After a moment's thought, Lucy replied, "Here's what we'll do. Donate five million in my name, and have your brother match it. That settles the karmic debt while accumulating merit."

She paused, then explained, "In our line of work, revealing too much of fate invites backlash. Good deeds help counterbalance it."

"Done!" Ryan immediately texted his brother.

Within three minutes, his phone buzzed. Reading the message, Ryan exhaled in relief. "He says it'll be processed today. We'll forward the donation receipts."

"Lucy, that was terrifyingly impressive!" Vanessa gushed, eyes shining with admiration.

Lucy laughed at her exaggerated expression. "Keep praising me, and I might float away."

"Master White is too modest," Robert said earnestly. "After filming wraps, I'm booking a session with you."

Ryan suddenly lowered his voice. "Ms. White, could we speak privately?"

They moved to a secluded corner. Ryan's expression turned grave. "Since you knew about my brother, you must've sensed my two half-siblings too?"

Lucy nodded. "What do you want to ask?"

"I suspect..." He gritted his teeth. "This 'accident' wasn't accidental."

Lucy understood immediately. "You think your half-siblings were involved?"

"Exactly." Ryan smiled bitterly. "Our family situation is... complicated."

He briefly outlined the family feud—their father favored his first wife's children, leaving Ryan's mother and brothers marginalized. His third brother, a business prodigy, had become a particular target.

"Once we're back in the capital, I'll examine your brother in person," Lucy offered. "Face-to-face readings are more precise."

Ryan exhaled deeply. "Thank you!"

At 3 PM, staff ushered everyone into the auction hall, distributing bidding paddles.

Coincidentally, the Von family trio was seated right beside Lucy's group.
