Lila Penrose felt as if her eyelids weighed a ton, and it took an extreme effort for her to pry them open.
"Penrose, you're finally awake. I've been so worried!"
An anxious voice echoed in her ears as she beheld a face filled with worry.
As Lila Penrose collected her bearings, fragments of her memories fluttered around in her mind. The person in front of her was her best friend, Sophia Yates.
In an angry voice, Sophia Yates said, "Penrose, Thornton Lucas's fans are too outrageous. They ran you over with a car!"
A week ago, photos of her dating Thornton Lucas, a popular idol, surfaced online and she was subjected to internet violence led by his fans. One extreme fan even drove a car into her.
She had been unconscious for a week before finally awakening.
This incident seemed like a typical case of extreme fans going too far.
If it had happened a week ago, Lila Penrose might have thought the same.
But now, she had just returned from a thousand years ago.
She was a once-in-a-millennium genius in the world of the mysterious arts.
Therefore, the moment she woke up, she knew that her fortune had been stolen.
And Sophia Yates's face had told her all she needed to know.
She tilted her head, her black eyes pure and innocent, looking at Sophia Yates innocently.
"What is your relationship with Thornton Lucas?"
Sophia Yates's face stiffened with indignation.
Then she nonchalantly said, "Just a fellow student! But now he's a big star, so we don't cross paths anymore."
Thornton Lucas, Lila Tessa, and Sophia Yates were classmates. After college entrance exams, Thornton Lucas was suddenly discovered by a talent scout and became extremely popular on a reality show. In just two short months, he had gained millions of followers.
He was currently making quite a stir.
Lila Tessa laughed lightly.
"Aren't you dating Thornton Lucas? The girl who was caught dating him last time was you, wasn't it? He's a popular idol now, he can't have any scandals. So, you directed the blame towards me, accused me of hounding him, and caused me to be harassed by his fan network. My car accident was a disaster you caused me."
Blood drained from Sophia Yates's face as she strived to maintain her composure.
"Tessa, why would you think that? Why would I date Thornton Lucas? Besides, you're my close girlfriend, why would I put you in such a dangerous situation? Has someone been saying things to you, causing you to misunderstand me?"
Lila Tessa blinked her eyes.
"A misunderstanding?"
She took off a shell pendant from her neck that could be opened and swung it in front of Sophia Yates.
"And what about this?"
At the sight of Lila Tessa's pendant, Sophia Yates's heart skipped a beat, but she tried hard to calm herself down, comforting herself internally.
Impossible! Lila Tessa can't know what's going on!
She also took off a similar necklace from her neck and opened it, and the picture inside was the same as the one on Lila Tessa's neck.
"Fiona, this is our best friend's necklace, do you see anything wrong with it?"
"You deny it, don't you?"
Lila Fiona's voice was gentle and quiet. She opened the pendant and tore the picture she had with Sophia Yates, behind which hid a bright yellow charm paper.
On it was the birth information of two people.
One was hers.
And the other was... Thornton Lucas.
Lila Fiona held the charm paper between her index and middle finger, her eyes focused intently on Sophia Yates.
"So Thornton Lucas became popular because you've helped him to steal my luck, right?"
Before this, Sophia Yates was pretending to be strong. Yet, when Lila Fiona mentioned "luck," she was utterly shocked.
How could Lila Fiona possibly know about it?
"I...I don't know how this stuff got in there, I was unaware."
With no more words, Lila Fiona waved her slender fingers, and the charm paper in her hand burnt into ashes on its own.
Sophia Yates jumped up in shock.
"Ah! Fiona, what are you doing!"
Sophia Yates's face turned pale. The master had said, if the charm was destroyed, the person who stole the luck would face severe backlash.
So, Thornton Lucas...
Completely ignoring Lila Penrose, Sophia Yates went running towards the door.
Lila Penrose took out her phone and immediately dialed emergency services.
"Hello, is this the police? I want to report Thornton Lucas for hosting a drug party at 027, South Mountain Road."
Then, Lila Penrose found a journalist who had a grudge against Thornton Lucas online and directly sent him a private message.
After completing all these actions, she closed her eyes to gather herself.
Her luck was not something easy to snatch away. If Thornton Lucas dared to try, he would pay for it!
Twenty minutes later, Sophia Yates hurried to the doorstep of the villa on 027, South Mountain Road, to find it was already surrounded by police cars from afar.
She saw Thornton Lucas, unconscious, being taken out of the villa by the police, along with several others in a state of drunken stupor. There were even journalists secretly taking photos nearby.
Her legs gave out, and she collapsed on the spot.
She fully understood that Thornton Lucas's end was near.
Meanwhile, the internet blew up with news.
