I Read Their Tragic Fates, and My Family Reads My Mind?

Mrs. Yates’s eyes lit up. "Is that possible?"

"Of course."

Melanie Yates and Mr. Yates didn’t say anything, but they were just as expectant and curious as Mrs. Yates.

Even Ivan Yates, who seemed uninterested, subtly shifted to sit up straighter, his ears perking up as well.

"Mr. Yates was previously burdened by a calamitous love affair. His glabella was dark, signaling a tribulation. Now that the tribulation has passed, his features have changed. His glabella has a reddish tint, his eyes are glistening, and the corners of his eyes are tinged with red and slightly upturned. This is the very sign of the Red Simurgh Star in motion."

A delighted expression appeared on Melanie Yates’s face. "So, you’re saying my brother is about to meet my real sister-in-law?"

"You could say that. But from what I see, Mr. Yates’s Red Simurgh Star is exceptionally bright and dazzling, and his marriage line has already formed. I’m afraid Mr. Yates has already met this fated partner before, but he was blinded by a toxic romance and failed to notice the person right in front of him."

"What?" The moment Arabella Donovan said this, Melanie Yates and Mrs. Yates couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

Then they turned nervously to Ivan Yates. "Brother, she’s someone you already know! Does anyone come to mind?"

Ivan Yates was stunned too. After a long moment, he managed to squeeze out a single word: "...No."

’Ever since I developed feelings for Cassandra Lynch and mistakenly believed she might feel the same, my heart and eyes have been filled with only her. How could I have noticed any other women around me?’

Melanie Yates obviously knew this too. She snorted and said disdainfully, "You don’t pay attention to who you should, but you keep staring at who you shouldn’t. You deserve to die alone!"

Mrs. Yates, however, grew even more worried. "She’s already appeared before him, and he hasn’t noticed at all. Doesn’t that mean he’s going to miss his chance?"

’Is my son really destined to be alone for the rest of his life?’

"Not necessarily. Since it’s a fated match, it won’t be that easy to miss. It’s just that..."

"It’s just that?"

"It’s just that a so-called ’fated match’ is merely when, all things considered, two people’s auras are compatible, their personalities complement each other, and they are easily attracted to one another. But whether they can ultimately end up together depends on how they learn to live with each other. It can’t be forced, or it will be a case of ’too much is as bad as not enough,’ and it will backfire."

As soon as she said this, Melanie Yates and her mother, who had been eager to find the woman and give things a push, instantly settled down.

"Okay, okay, we definitely won’t interfere. We’ll let the young couple figure it out themselves."

After saying this, Melanie Yates and her mother gave Ivan Yates a look that said "sorry, we can’t help you," filled with regret.

Ivan Yates: "..." ’I don’t even know who this person is yet. Isn’t it a bit early for you to be calling us a "young couple"?!’

Seeing that the Yates family had taken her words to heart, Arabella Donovan also subtly breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn’t actually just made up this "fated partner" business.

Near the end of that "real and fake heiress" novel, several years after the male and female leads got married, Ian Jennings suddenly got news about the Yates siblings from an old acquaintance.

At that time, Melanie Yates’s parents had long since passed away. Not only did she have to work to earn money, but she also had to take care of her brother, who was still in a vegetative state.

Fortunately, there was a woman who was always by the siblings’ side. She helped care for Ivan Yates while Melanie was out working, which at least relieved her of some worries.

Ian Jennings had someone look into it and found out that the woman had lost her family and been alone even longer than the Yates siblings. Furthermore, she had been secretly in love with Ivan Yates for a very long time.

When he got into a car accident and his family fell apart, a time when everyone was avoiding them like the plague, she was the first to step up and support Melanie Yates. That’s why Melanie respected and trusted her deeply.

At the time, Ian Jennings, for reasons he couldn’t quite understand himself, told Cassandra Lynch about it.

Cassandra Lynch was stunned for a moment, then shed some crocodile tears, saying that since someone was taking care of the siblings, she could finally rest assured.

As if she wasn’t the one who, upon learning that Ivan Yates might never wake up from his car accident, immediately started ignoring Melanie Yates’s calls and unilaterally cut off contact.

Her reaction was within Ian Jennings’s expectations, but it also left him feeling a sense of loss.

To be honest, although Arabella Donovan disliked Cassandra Lynch, her impression of this male lead was actually not bad.

It wasn’t that he was particularly righteous or kind. It was just that compared to the other characters, who were all a bit unhinged, he, the male lead, at least seemed like a normal person of flesh and blood. His actions were all more or less reasonable.

Ian Jennings was the illegitimate son of the Jennings Family. In a chaotic environment like the Jennings Family, he had to abandon too many things in order to survive and climb his way up, including his emotions and his true feelings.

But when he finally obtained everything he had ever wanted, he discovered that the things he had once lost had become unattainable luxuries.

Just like his relationship with Cassandra Lynch. Although there were feelings, their relationship had long been tainted by self-interest, schemes, doubts, and arguments, until it was twisted beyond recognition.

In the end, what bound them together wasn’t so much love as it was reality.

That’s why he secretly envied the true affection Ivan Yates had found—the very thing Cassandra Lynch scoffed at.

Now that Ivan Yates’s deadly tribulation had passed, his future fate should also change, just like her second brother’s. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

That’s why Arabella Donovan wanted to give that unnamed, secret admirer a chance, and also give Ivan Yates a chance.

To see if the two of them could still end up together without the catalyst of his family’s downfall.

Of course, it was just a chance. Whether the two were truly compatible, or if they would fall in love in the future, was not something an outsider like Arabella Donovan could control.

That was why she hadn’t been too definitive in her words, lest she accidentally create a miserable couple.

Eloise Donovan, having followed along with Arabella Donovan’s recollection of this part of the plot, looked at Ivan Yates with a somewhat peculiar expression.

’Could this be the legendary... fool’s luck?’

Caspian Rhodes’s attention, however, was on Ian Jennings. Recalling the slightly appreciative tone in Arabella Donovan’s voice when she mentioned the male lead, he felt inexplicably sour.

After confirming the state of Ivan Yates’s injuries and getting a mouthful of drama from the battlefield of love, Arabella Donovan and the others left, satisfied.

They had just gotten into Caspian Rhodes’s car when Arabella Donovan heard her phone buzz. She opened it to find a money transfer from her fourth sister.

"Sis, why did you suddenly send me money?"

"Melanie Yates asked me to transfer it to you." As she spoke, Eloise Donovan glanced up at Zane Lynch, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

"She said it’s the money from cashing in the gifts for Miss Lynch. Someone just returned it, so it’s perfect to cover the Divination Money for your reading for the siblings."

Arabella Donovan looked surprised. "That fast?"

Ivan Yates had given Cassandra Lynch quite a few gifts over the past two days. It would have taken a while to calculate the total value. The Yates family didn’t really want the money anyway; they just named a random number as a token gesture.

Zane Lynch knew this as well. The main reason he’d asked the Yates family for this was to have some evidence for when he exposed Cassandra Lynch in the future.

After realizing the Yates family’s intentions, he hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to add some more money on top and sending it over.

Who would have thought that, after all that, the money would end up in Arabella Donovan’s pocket?
