NovelAppChapter 501 Stepping out of the room and rounding the stairwell, she lowered her gaze to see Kerry and a man ascending the stairs side by side.
She quickly pulled Beverley into a hidden corner, putting a finger over her lips in a hush gesture.
Pressing herself against the wall, she peeked out from their hiding spot, watching as Kerry and the man entered a small room designated for fortune telling.
Beverley, too, couldn't resist her curiosity and tried to peek. Having not seen the man’s face earlier, she was surprised upon recognizing him. “Oh my God, he’s here too!” Aurelia was confused about who Beverley meant and hurriedly asked, “Do you know them?” Beverley nodded. “That woman is the owner of the Twilight Club. Do you know it? That place is a favorite haunt for wealthy socialites, filled with stunning male prostitutes. The man is even more impressive. His name is Zachary, a mysterious wizard It's said that he practices black magic. | can't believe he’s here at Elysium.” Aurelia was stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAccording to medical research, the potions used in some black magic are from various bacteria and microorganisms. Owing to the vast variety of these microorganisms, the black magic practiced by each sect varies.
The main principle of this sinister craft is to inflict continuous psychological attacks on the victim until they succumb to mental breakdown, leading eventually to their death.
Was Kerry meeting with Zachary to employ some form of black magic on someone? If she intended to harm someone, wouldn't she do it secretly? Why would she dare to meet him openly at a party? Had she become so audacious that she feared nothing? As she pondered, a figure tiptoed up and pressed an ear against the door to eavesdrop.
Aurelia was stunned. It was Megan. Wasn't Megan in cahoots with Kerry? Had they fallen out? Or was Megan seeking Zachary’s help to employ some form of black magic on someone? Her heart jolted. If Megan was planning to do this, it would either be against her, Leopold, or their son, Kane.
The thought sent chills running down her spine.
Megan lingered at the door for a while before leaving. It was unclear what she might have heard.
Chapter 501 Aurelia, with Beverley in tow, descended the stairs from the other end of the hallway.
She knew she had to keep a close eye on Megan.
Beverley, puzzled, asked, “Why did you hide just now?” “I... I mistook her for Melissa.” Aurelia offered a weak smile and concocted a cover story as they were both in red dresses.
Beverley sighed, thinking Melissa's outrageous behavior must have scared Aurelia out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfterward, Aurelia watched Megan closely but didn’t see her interact with Zachary.
It made sense.
A cunning woman like her would secretly meet Zachary in a hotel, not under the watchful eyes of everyone, leaving behind evidence.
She would need Leah's friend to keep a close watch on Megan. It would be a red alert once she caught Megan meeting Zachary.
Upon returning from the party, she sent a WhatsApp message to Leopold. [We need to meet tomorrow. | have something important to tell you.] Leopold responded instantly, [’'m on my way.] He had bought a villa not far from Blossom Villa. It was only a ten-minute drive away.
Soon, he arrived outside the gate.
Aurelia quickly got into his car.
“| attended a metaphysical party today.” Leopold was aware as he was present, too.
“Did you discover anything?” “1 saw Kerry. A wizard named Zachary was also there. He's said to practice black magic. Kerry spoke with him for quite a while, though | don’t know what they've discussed. Megan might know something as | saw her eavesdropping by the door.”
