Chapter 189: THE STORM IS NOT OVER YET

Chapter 189: Chapter 189: THE STORM IS NOT OVER YET

"Mammy! Didn’t we pack everything? Why are you adding more?" Briar’s helpless voice sounded throughout the yard.

Briar couldn’t believe her godmother at all. She was done packing everything that she should and yet Mammy Adonai kept on adding more. Wasn’t she afraid that she would bounce and her weight would increase, thus making things for her at the airport?

Mammy Adonai rolled her eyes as she looked at Briar and said, "If I don’t add that. How are you going to fight off with what is coming soon?"

When Briar heard that, a playful glint flickered in her eyes and looked at Mammy Adonai, responding, "Mammy, I know that you love me! Hehe, I will carry everything. Just add it all!" her tone very coquettish. It made Benjamin, who was watching the drama between, have goosebumps all over his body.

Mammy Adonai clicked her tongue at Briar before adding several jars she had prepared before.

Once that was done, the suitcases were fully packed, and Briar was ready to go as well.

"Child, you must take care of yourself after going there. Remember to be vigilant. The storm hasn’t passed yet. More is coming, but once it’s done, then everything shall come to pass!"

Briar grinned happily as she listened to that. "I know, Mammy. Don’t worry. I will come out of this alive. Besides, isn’t everything prepared already?" she winked at Mammy Adonai as she asked that.

Mammy Adonai flicked her forehead, seeing how unserious she was.

Benjamin, who was listening on the side, had no clue what these two were talking about and he felt that he didn’t want to even know.

The secrets of the spiritualists were too scary to know.

The two spoke in riddles back and forth for a while and concluded.

"Mammy, remember to delay your visit to the city for a bit neh!" she said playfully as she picked up her handbag from the suitcase.

Mammy Adonai looked at Briar with a questioning gaze before asking directly, "what games are you planning to do now?" curiosity in her tone.

Briar chuckled, her eyes flickering with a glint of slyness before answering, "This will be the last time I do something crazy like that ...." She drawled her words as she spread her arms and added, a glint of madness in her eyes. "I want him to cherish me deeply after this. The longer he sees that, the deeper he will care!"

Mammy Adonai hearing that, a complicated glint flickered in her eyes as she thought to herself, ’My child is indeed too crazy!’ shuddering at the kind of crazy thoughts she had when it came to the man she loved. However, when she thought that it was this craziness that made her like Briar in the first place, she could only embrace the child she loved the most.

Love the good and bad without discrimination.

"I will delay by two weeks. That should be enough, right?" Mammy Adonai acquiesced as she rubbed Briar’s head.

Briar beamed as her gaze softened when that reached her ears.

"I will leave everything in your capable hands, then!"

"Fine. When have I never done a good job?"

"Hehe, I never doubted you!" Briar laughed it off before adding, "Don’t forget to bring my goodies. I can’t leave them for long with you!"

Mammy Adonai rolled her eyes at Briar and scoffed. "Don’t worry. I will bring everything without fail!"

Benjamin watched the banter for a little longer before Mammy Adonai received a guest.

"Okay, shoo .... Go and drive safely back home!"

It was only then that the two of them left Mammy Adonai’s house. This time, Benjamin drove the SUV while Briar rested in the passenger’s seat while teasing the kids who were running after the car.

When the car left the village, Benjamin looked at his little sister with a smile. Loving how carefree she looked. The heaviness she had when she came didn’t seem to be there now.

"Briar, did you solve the pending issues?" he asked curiously as he looked to the front since the road wasn’t fine.

"Um. We don’t have to worry about the matter anymore!" Briar’s confident voice rang in his ears and Benjamin looked at her hurriedly with shock in his eyes.

"You aren’t pulling my leg?"

Briar looked at her brother and then thought of the events which transpired in the city yesterday and a smile blossomed on her face.

"Hehe, you don’t have to worry about it anymore. Even if you blurt it in your sleep. It won’t affect me anymore. It’s a done deal!"

Benjamin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. That matter had been worrying him for years. Although he was relieved that his sister managed to escape the clutches of that vagabond, the fact that the unfortunate happened always haunted him.

Now that the matter was solved and it wouldn’t come back to haunt her, then he would finally be at ease and wish her a happy life.

He didn’t care about how she solved it. As long as the matter was dealt with. That’s all that mattered.

Briar didn’t need to elaborate further about the matter with her brother. She knew that he understood and letting him be finally relieved of that burden felt great as well.

On the way to Ascot City, Briar’s thoughts were finally filled with her mother’s betrayal. She didn’t care much about Raine or Moses.

She understood why those two did it, but what about her mother?

Even if she didn’t like her, was it really that easy for her to sell her out and tarnish her name to another person?

Didn’t she have a single inkling that her words, if taken out of context, she might not be able to raise her head anywhere in the world?

How could her mother do that?

Too bad she was her mother and she couldn’t do anything to harm her despite being a spiritualist herself.

In her culture, children who bring harm to their biological mothers especially, be it through scolding or insulting them, committing violence against them by beating them or killing them, would suffer the consequences. Spiritual consequences might come in the form of bad luck, or going completely insane.

Even her spiritualist status wouldn’t save her. So, the best thing that she could do in her situation at most would be to sever the mother and daughter relationship with her.

She just needed to let her parents know that she became a spiritualist. Briar was very certain that they wouldn’t disappoint her.

And none other than her brother Benjamin would do that assignment, whom her parents were still communicating with despite not liking him much.

After all, whether they liked it or not, Benjamin still was that first-born son they would rely on in old age.

Their useless son, Brian, was just a waste of air. They wouldn’t go anywhere with him.

With that in mind, a calculative plan started forming.
