Chapter 1354 Fortune Telling
Abel nodded thoughtfully.
“That’s absolutely right, Emmeline said. “Ten years of schooling can’t compare to a single piece of your advice.”
Paul guffawed. “You can top an exam in three years, little girl, but it takes ten years to become a true
entrepreneur.”
Emmeline asked, “They say there’s no business without deceit. Is that true?”
“In warfare, one must use deception, and in business, some level of cunning is necessary. If you view ‘cunning’ and
‘deceit here as strategy, it takes on a different meaning.” Paul explained.
Emmeline couldn’t help but give a thumbs up. “Impressive!”
Paul turned to Abel with a smile and said, “Your sister is pretty adorable!”
Paul selected the location for dinner while Abel handled the food arrangements. They ordered several specialty
dishes from Sandwell, including fish cake, duck confit, crab rangoon, and pan-fried asparagus.
Abel picked a few vegetarian dishes and placed them on Emmeline’s plate.
Paul remarked, “If the young lady prefers lighter flavors, both the fish cake and crab rangoon should suit her.”

“No wonder,” Paul replied.
“What do you mean?” Abel asked.
“She’s an extraordinary person, blessed with great fortune,” Paul said.
Emmeline put down her cutleries and blinked. “Mr. Murphy, what do you mean?”
“Your facial features, bone structure, and aura all indicate that you are exceptionally blessed,” Paul explained.
On the other side of the table, Luca asked, “Mr. Murphy, can you read palmistry?”
“A little bit.” Paul chuckled. “A holistic doctor can read faces after years of practice, and a merchant of ten years
can predict fortunes.”
At that, Luca quickly extended his hand to Paul. Paul held his four fingertips and examined his palm carefully but
remained silent.
“What’s wrong with me, Mr. Murphy?” Luca asked. “Say something.”
“Luca,” Emmeline smiled, “Mr. Murphy is saying your good days are ahead. Live well and work hard!”
“Is that what he means?” Luca was persistent.
Paul nodded, “Emmeline got it right.”

Abel chuckled, and Luca didn’t press the issue any further.
Paul casually took Abel’s hand and examined it, then looked down. “Oh, a woman in your palm, you’ll be immensely
wealthy.”
“A woman in my palm?” Abel’s heart skipped a beat.
Emmeline grabbed Abel’s hand, asking, “How did you figure that out?”
Paul used his fingertip to draw a line in Abel’s palm. Both of them could see that there was an obscure ‘W’ on his
palm.
“Wow! You’re truly amazing!” Emmeline widened her eyes and promptly extended her hand as well. She had a
mole in her palm that had been there since she was young.
Paul said, “Moles are a symbol of wealth and power, but..”
Paul turned to Abel. “Emmeline will face a difficult period in about five years, with more bad luck than good. You
need to take good care of her.”
Although Abel didn’t believe it entirely, the words “more bad luck than good” pierced his heart like a sharp.

“Is there any way to mitigate it?” Abel asked.
“Because she was a born vegetarian, she had spared many lives unknowingly. This is her merit, and she has divine
protection. Also, within the next two years, she will have recurring dreams. If she pays close attention, she can
capture valuable information,” Paul explained.
Abel furrowed his brows involuntarily.
“Mr. Murphy,” Emmeline said, “We came to talk business with you, not for fortune-telling! I can’t possibly share all
my dreams with my brother every day, right?”
Paul guffawed.
gone off-topic!”
“More than off-topic, we’ve gone way off track,” Emmeline noted, seeing the concern in Abel’s expression.
“Your brother cares deeply about you, young lady. That’s your blessing!” Paul said.
“In that case, Mr. Murphy, please introduce some good business opportunities to my brother,” Emmeline smiled
and, trying to please him, refilled his tea.
“Alright, for your sake, I do have an opportunity for Mr. Ryker,” Paul said. “Later, visit my warehouse; there’s a bulk
processing job for a new product. Let’s see if you can take it on.”
