Chapter 1674 Reaping What They Sow
The school personnel continued, "Your son's admission will not be accepted. He's probably not better off having a mother like you, either. And the truth is, he's been capitalizing on his dead sister. All you care about is getting clout. Honestly speaking, no school will accept your son.'
Indeed, no school was willing to take Krishen in. While he had realized his dream of becoming an influencer, he was too terrified to leave the house. His phone was flooded with hateful messages, and his classmates no longer acknowledged him.
Frustrated, he took his anger out on Astrid. 'I can't even go to school now, all thanks to you! Are you happy now?"
Astrid was stunned, never expecting Krishen to lay the blame on her.
The drunken Steve grew irritated as well. "You could've just apologized, yet you were so stubborn! How do we get out of here now?"
"Why can't we? I'll go out for groceries now! Let's see who dares to stop me!" Astrid shot back, lifting her head defiantly.
Krishen was completely exasperated. "We can only stay here for three days at most. I don't want to go back to the county!"
Astrid assured him. "We won't be going back. I'll think of something."
Hearing that, Krishen finally began to calm down. Tired of being cooped up at home, he decided to accompany Astrid for groceries.
Astrid had assumed it was a minor situation, yet they were instantly surrounded as soon as they stepped outside.
In a moment of panic, Krishen pushed Astrid to the front and shouted, "It was all my mom's idea! She was the one who accepted the money! She always said that Vanessa was useless and that she was better off dead! It's all my mom's fault!"
Astrid was utterly dumbfounded. She could even feel the crowd's venomous words splattering across her face. "Do you think you're worthy of being a mother?" someone inquired.
"How does it feel to sell your daughter for money?" another chimed in.
Sometimes, the only way to handle someone's evil was to be more wicked than they were.
Astrid froze in place after being shoved by Krishen. Her hair was disheveled, and her face was smeared with eggs.
Desperate to escape from the mistreatment, she frantically ran back to the house. However, Krishen and Steve turned a blind eye and slammed the door in her face. No matter how much Astrid banged on the door, it refused to budge.
Beyond the crowd, Wynter stood silhouetted by the dusk light. Behind her, Vanessa lingered in her spiritual form.
Wynter slowly shared, "Isn't it a sight to behold? This is merely the beginning of your family's misfortune. I'm rather talented at reading someone's fortune from their appearance. Let me share a few predictions.
"After Krishen gets married, he'll start neglecting his mother. Astrid will live her days in the village's stone house, with her body paralyzed.
"She might get some food if the daughter-in-law feels like it, or else, she'll only receive a beating. This is the price she'll pay for selling her own daughter.'
Looking at Vanessa, Wynter continued, "The same goes for Krishen and Steve-they won't find peace for the rest of their lives."
As tears clouded Vanessa's gaze, Wynter took out a bank card. Though it was typically resistant to flames, it
was quickly reduced to ashes by the hellfire drawn from the talisman.
"The money they got from selling you has been returned. You're free now," Wynter declared.
As soon as she said that, Vanessa was bathed in a radiant glow.
