Sebastian quickly shook off that ridiculous thought. 'I must be paranoid. How could I believe absurd things like a
fortune teller? Well, Aliyah's accident is just an accident. Everyone had a tough time, right?'
"Go out and have fun." Sebastian put Erika back on the ground.
"Daddy, do you remember what I've told you?"
"What?"
"Ways to pick up girls!" Erika stomped anxiously, "Time waits for no man. You got the biggest chance to get her."
Well, if he failed, he was a loser.
"... out." Sebastian urged.

her mom!
And after Erika left, Sebastian called Rupert.
"It's time for a return visit. This time, do me a favor." Sebastian said.
"Come on, I'm not working for you."
"You'll have 10% of the shares of my bar."
"20."
"Deal."
Rupert immediately arrived at the Sunshine Villa, without any complaints.
After about half an hour, Rupert got the test results.
"One of the tendons that controlled her fingers was shorter than the others, so it might be amputated."
"Do you know the time it was amputated?"
"From the flexibility of the fingers, it should have been four or five years ago."
"Can't be more specific?" Sebastian frowned.
"Hey, I'm not a forensic expert! The wound has closed well and that was the best I could do." After a pause, he
added, "But I got two ideas."
"Try me."
"First, ask her, if she is willing to tell you; second, ask the famous fortune teller."

He got a strange gleam in his eyes. "Why everybody is talking about that fortune teller?"
"You know her?" Rupert's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Sebastian told his part of the story about the fortune teller to Rupert.
"Sebastian, I think you should go on a date with Annie tomorrow. Trust me, the fortune teller is never wrong."
"You believe that too?" Sebastian asked in a mock surprise.
"I'm not, but I respect the supernatural power. Have you heard MISS, the perfume company in the west?"
The company was on the verge of bankruptcy with a huge debt. The fortune teller knew the boss of the company
had plastic surgery and told him to remove the implants in his face, and then he attracted eight investors on a ball.
You might have guessed the rest of the story – the company was back to normal and the owner got damn
rich.
