Immortal in Horror Game: She is the Fortune Teller!-Chapter 148 - 145: Cherry’s Hint

If only it had been a higher-ranked Central Star noble who had adopted her back then, instead of the Augustine family.

Feeling dejected, Susanna squatted down, opened her suitcase, and took out her clothes.

To celebrate Susanna’s return home, the Augustine family held a banquet, inviting all their relatives and branches. The nobles filled the entire banquet hall.

Susanna slowly walked down from upstairs, dressed in a black gown.

Cherry frowned slightly and approached her, "Why are you wearing such a dark-colored dress?"

Susanna was dressed in a black European-style ball gown embroidered with gold thread, her hair styled high and adorned with roses.

It was a very vintage and elegant gown, but on the young Susanna, there was an inexplicable sense of discord.

Her appearance was inherently delicate and couldn’t hold up to the imposing and majestic hairstyle.

Susanna felt a bit displeased but still had a smile on her face, "Mommy, I just wanted to try out a new style."

Bumpkin, this is how the Central Star nobles dress!

She slowly descended the stairs, looking at these noble relatives in the hall.

In the past, while in the Augustine family, being an adopted daughter, she always tried her best to be obedient and considerate, aiming to please these noble relatives, lowering her stance to blend in with them and become as noble as they were.

But now it seemed that these so-called noble and elegant relatives were actually just bumpkin nobles from an asteroid, not comparable to the real nobles on the Central Star.

The relatives gathered around, smiling.

"Is this Susanna who joined the Eden Noble Guild? How big she’s grown!"

"Truly impressive, this child was excellent since she was little, I knew she would achieve great things."

"She was always well-behaved and sensible since young, she will get along well with the excellent kids in the Noble Guild too."

"Susanna, my kid has B-level spiritual power. Do you think you can get him into the Eden Garden Guild?"

It was her aunt who said the last sentence, her husband was Glennan, her father’s own younger brother.

Susanna smiled slightly, "Auntie, not just anyone can get into the Eden Garden Guild. The threshold is very high and extremely strict."

The implication being, your son is not qualified.

The other party’s expression turned awkward at her words.

In the past, Susanna was always obedient and easy-going in front of them. She thought she could pull some strings with Susanna, but she didn’t expect the child to speak so bluntly.

Cherry frowned slightly, then mediated, "Susanna has just joined the Eden Garden Guild for a short while, let her get a foothold first and I’ll help you check later."

Only then did the other party’s expression improve, and they nodded and said a couple of polite words of thanks.

The banquet began, on the whole, the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

As the most accomplished girl in Grenel City, Susanna was in the limelight at the banquet.

The banquet was halfway through.

Cherry gently approached the crowd and pulled Susanna aside, "Sweetie, come with Mommy for a moment."

Susanna was somewhat impatient, as she was sharing some amusing stories with her cousins of similar age about being invited to dance by a few noble young masters at a banquet in the Eden Garden Guild.

But Cherry uncharacteristically was strong-willed, pulling her into an empty room upstairs.

"Mommy! What’s the rush?" Susanna complained, looking at her.

Cherry’s gaze was calm, "Susanna, your attitude seems a bit off since you came back this time."

At these words, Susanna’s face revealed a trace of guilt, had her behavior been too obvious?

Pretending not to understand, she wrapped her arm around Cherry’s, "What’s wrong? What’s different? Aren’t I still Mommy’s little darling?"

Cherry looked at her intently, "Really?"

Susanna became even more guilt-ridden under her gaze and quickly nodded, "Of course!"

Cherry finally smiled warmly, "That’s good, Mommy thought you no longer hold Grenel City in high regard after visiting the Central Star."

Susanna’s smile stiffened a bit, "How could I..."

Cherry gently patted her cheek, "You have no idea how happy Daddy and Mommy were when you were selected by the Eden Garden Guild. To boost the popularity of your streaming channel, we invested tens of millions to nearly a billion to bring your channel into the top ten of the new talent list."

Susanna was moved and leaned into Cherry, "Thank you, Mommy!"

Seeing that she wasn’t pushed away, Susanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Cherry continued, "No need to thank me, silly. You know that Daddy and Mommy adopted you because you have A-level spiritual power. Your presence ensures that your big brother can smoothly inherit his father’s title, doesn’t it?"

Susanna’s expression stiffened slightly, "Yes..."

Cherry pulled her out of the embrace, gently pinching her nose with affection, "You didn’t know, right? Actually, besides the ability requirements, the Eden Garden Guild has a hidden requirement."

"What requirement?" For the first time, Susanna looked at Cherry with unfamiliarity.

Cherry smiled, "Of course it’s a family background requirement. To join the guild, the father must be at least an Earl. Which means if we were to expel you from the Augustine family, you, without the identity background, would be immediately dismissed from the Eden Garden Guild. The guild’s obsession with identity is something you should understand better than I do, right?"

Susanna’s face instantly turned pale, "Mommy..."

Cherry chuckled, "Child, why do you look so frightened? I’m just saying ’if’, it’s not like we really intend to send you away."

Susanna couldn’t even manage a smile.

Cherry was sending a warning, and Susanna heard it loud and clear.

Cherry stroked her head, "Mommy just felt you’ve changed a bit after coming back from the Eden Garden Guild, not as close to your two brothers. So I thought there were some things you needed to know."

Susanna hurriedly denied, "Nothing of the sort! Mommy, I’m just too tired and haven’t recovered yet."

Cherry looked at her with a full of smiles, "Really?"

Susanna nodded quickly, "Of course, it’s true! Mommy, I’m your most obedient and considerate darling. The brothers are so good to me, how could I not be close to them?"

Cherry pinched her nose again with a mischievous smile, "Alright, look how scared you are, go have fun!"

"Alright..." Only then did Susanna turn and leave the room.

Cherry watched her back, her smile gradually cooling.

Her status, the status of her two sons, and even her husband Glennan’s status were all tied to Susanna. She absolutely couldn’t allow the little girl to escape her control.

The former Susanna was at least loyal to the Augustine family.

Now it seemed that after seeing more, her mind started to wander.

She needed to think of a way to keep this little one within her grasp.

The conclusion of the banquet.

Glennan exuberantly brought his daughter Susanna to the second floor, raising a glass to the nobles below, "Finally, let’s celebrate together, congratulations to our gem of Grenel City for joining the Eden Garden Guild. She is the most outstanding, gifted, and powerful child in our Grenel City!"

"Congratulations, Susanna!" Everyone raised their glasses.

Glennan laughed heartily and pushed Susanna to the front, "Come, child, say a few words to the uncles and elders below."

Seeing Cherry smiling below, Susanna’s gaze showed a flash of panic. She barely maintained her composure and said loudly, "In fact, I owe my ability to join the Eden Garden Guild to the training from Daddy and Mommy..."

Acknowledging the magnificent achievements of the Augustine family, the crowd below suddenly began to whisper and stir.

"Oh my god! Look at the Smart Brain!"

"Heavens! How is this possible? A 17-year-old awakened Beastification child?!"

"This... this child looks somewhat familiar?"
