Chapter 394

Larissa failed to escace because Wendy held her still and quickly pulled her into a chair opposite

Barbara. A small round table separated them, adored only by a candelabra bearing a lit candle and a

thick stack of tarot cards, “This is my best friend. Larissa.” Wendy made the introductions.

“Nice to meet you, Larissa,” said Barbara faintly.

Every time she spoke, a chill would go through Larissa, “Hi,” said Larissa while forcing a smile.

Barbara picked up the tarot cards. In the dim candlelight, Larissa saw that Barbara’s hands were

completely tattooed in weird pictures or to be more accurate, symbols

*What would you like to ask?” asked Barbara, Wendy answered in Larissa’s stead. “She came here

from Caldor recently, wanting to forget the past and start a new life. Can you help predict if her new lile

will go smoothly?”

“Okay.” Barbara nodded and spread the tarot cards across the table, gesturing for Larissa to pick out

five cards.

Larissa didn’t believe in the divine at all Her sole focus was on complying as quickly as possible in

order to make her exit. She picked out five cards randomly.

Barbara placed the five cards in the shape of an “X” and turned the first card over.

“Oh, the magician in reverse! Barbara covered her mouth exaggeratedly and looked at Larissa

worriedly. “My dear, it seems like you’ve made a wrong decision recently.”

The word “recently” was a very vague indicator. It could refer to a minute ago, an hour ago, or even a

month ago. Moreover, everyone would inevitably make countless wrong decisions in their lifetime.

Larissa controlled herself and did not give Barbara any reaction.

However, Wendy gripped Larissa’s shoulder with a worried expression. Barbara started interpreting the

second card. “An upright wheel of fortune. You must currently be at the lowest point in your life. You

might not be able to accept this, but my dear, this is the best opportunity for you to grow. The things

you’re going through in terms of your relationship are breaking you down, but you never lost your trust

and passion in love. Although a bumpy road lies ahead, you will see the light at the end of the tunnel

you don’t give up.”

Everything she said resonated with Larissa’s current situation, except the “you never lost your trust and

passion in love” part. Because of that part, Larissa tell that everything else she had predicted was just a

wild guess. Barbara moved on to the third card. “The hanged man in reverse. Your previous

relationship ended because you ran away. You think you’re making a sacrifice for the other person’s

sake, but in reality, that type of sacrifice is meaningless. Combining this card and the wheel of fortune. I

think you’re still in love with that man.”

Larissa’s heart gave a wild thump, and she denied it instinctively. “I’m not.”

Barbara gave an unfathomable smile and said. “My dear Larissa, please lace what your heart truly

feels. My tarot cards don’t lie.” She turned the fourth card over, which was an upright star card. Barbara

covered her mouth again, but her expression was one of surprise.
