Chapter 541: Chapter 541 She is called Cadence Lloyd
It’s ironic to say the least.
Back then, when she got into university, her parents actually considered letting her younger brother, who was a year younger and had dropped out of high school, take her place to attend university.
Fortunately, due to nurous cases of identity fraud being exposed in recent years, the state and education authorities tightly control this area, which made her parents abandon the idea.
However, even though he couldn’t replace her at university, they ca up with another way to bring glory to the family.
That was to let her go to school under her brother’s na.
At that ti, the academic records and graduation certificate would all be in the na of Jessamine Lloyd.
This way, they could also claim that their son graduated from university.
In a way, it’s another way to honor the family na.
Back then, to be able to attend university, Jessamine Lloyd… no, it should be Cadence Lloyd, agreed without hesitation.
Who knows where her parents found the connections, but they managed to change her na before she registered.
“But even if the marriage certificate uses my brother’s na, the birth date and the eight characters of destiny are still mine, aren’t they?”
Cadence Lloyd had cald down by now, but still felt there was no way out.
Seeing this, Scarlett Jennings explained,
“In the Mystical Sect, a person’s na is another tag besides their birth date and eight characters.
Because normally, a person’s na accompanies them from the day they are born.
Every ti soone in the world calls out your na, it deepens the connection between you and your na.”
As one gets older, the connection between their na and themselves becos deeper.
It is also one of the criteria by which Ghosts and Divine judge you.
This is why a Ghost ssenger would call out a Shadow Spirit’s na when guiding them,
when a Demon Ghost tries to confuse your mind, they would first call your na and try to get your response.
Even when people pray to Divine, they would deliberately recite the entity’s title in their mind, hoping the Divine could hear the call and respond.
It shows that a na is not just a simple symbol for a person.
“Even though you’ve lived under the na Jessamine Lloyd in university for over two years, the connection between that na and you is limited.
If the marriage certificate is in the na of Jessamine Lloyd, as long as you revert your household registration na, even if the marriage certificate is burned, there’s a loophole in the marriage contract.”
A marriage contract with loopholes is much easier to overturn.
Although it is a ghost marriage, those who match the marriage will only acknowledge the na on the household registration, so Scarlett Jennings determined that the na on the marriage certificate is most likely this one.
However, to be safe, Scarlett Jennings still had Cadence Lloyd make the call.
Cadence Lloyd didn’t hesitate, quickly adjusted her attitude, and pretending to have accepted her fate, asked which na she should use if they got married.
Her mother had no suspicions and only said to use the na Jessamine Lloyd first, then change it after the marriage.
Having confird this situation, the so-called ghost marriage did not affect Cadence Lloyd as seriously as before.
It was just that changing back to her original na before the marriage certificate was burned wouldn’t be easy for Cadence Lloyd.
Cadence Lloyd once thought of telling her family about being pregnant with a wealthy family’s child.
In that case, maybe her parents wouldn’t sell her to a dead person for a dowry of two hundred thousand.
But the whole ghost marriage thing disgusted her, and she wasn’t willing to hand money over to parents who didn’t care about her life and future.
Seeing her caught in this dilemma, Scarlett Jennings straightforwardly reminded her,
“The Patterson Family may not be the top elite family, but they have so influence locally, you could change the demand for money into other conditions now that you have their child.”
She didn’t specify what those conditions could be.
Fortunately, Cadence Lloyd wasn’t foolish and quickly got the point.
If the Patterson Family could arrange this for her, or even help her change her household registration, then… she could terminate the pregnancy.
Although it would be unfair to the child, she had to think for herself at the mont.
Originally, she wasn’t even confident that she could marry into the Patterson Family with the child, but thought it might serve as bargaining leverage to get so money instead…
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Scarlett Jennings stood up to leave.
She and Samuel Chalrs had co today to seek information on a Demon, offering extra divination for Cadence Lloyd out of pure sympathy.
She felt a different kind of pity for her compared to Ava Zimrman, but sohow, both paths led to the sa place.
Ava Zimrman once freed herself from her cage, but continued to walk further down an obsessive path, carelessly using her God-given Power of Word Spirit.
Cadence Lloyd, on the other hand, was unscrupulous in pursuit of her goal, but she wasn’t truly malevolent.
Scarlett Jennings wanted to see if, when given the sa opportunity as Ava Zimrman to break free, Cadence Lloyd would turn out differently.
As she left, Scarlett Jennings gave Cadence Lloyd an Amulet.
“Keep this talisman with you to protect against evil spirits.”
After all, even if she managed to change her na, the birth date and the eight characters on the marriage certificate were still hers, so it wasn’t impossible that he might still latch onto her.
Holding the talisman in her hands, Cadence Lloyd’s eyes inexplicably grew warm.
A person she’d t for the first ti today was willing to help her like this.
Yet her real family constantly thought about how to push her into the abyss.
Carefully putting away the talisman, Cadence Lloyd suddenly seed to think of sothing and asked her,
“If I successfully change my na, but the marriage certificate still uses Jessamine Lloyd, would he then possibly… go after Jessamine Lloyd instead?”
There was an indescribable expression on Cadence Lloyd’s face. Scarlett Jennings gave her a deep look and said,
“It’s not impossible.”
As she spoke, she took out another talisman, “You could also buy another talisman for your brother, but this one will be an extra charge.”
Cadence Lloyd stared at the talisman paper in her hand for a long while, then laughed softly,
“Forget it, I have no money left.”
All her money was sent back ho.
Even if she had it, she wouldn’t waste it on a talisman for him.
Her dark life, despite her parents being the root of her suffering, Jessamine Lloyd was never innocent either.
He was even the first to call her a slut.
Three hundred bucks seed too dear for him.
Cadence Lloyd felt no compassion for her brother.
In the future, if he were troubled by Underworld Specters, he could bla their lovely parents.
…
Leaving Cadence Lloyd’s small rental place, Samuel Chalrs suddenly turned to Scarlett Jennings.
“Do you think she’ll terminate the child?”
Scarlett Jennings thought for a mont about what she read from her features and shook her head,
“No.”
From Cadence Lloyd’s features, it was clear she would only have one child in her life.
And that’s the one she was carrying.
From what Scarlett Jennings saw before she left, there was no change in Cadence Lloyd’s future, which indicated that the child would ultimately be kept.
But it was understandable.
Because according to her readings, Cadence Lloyd and Lydia Patterson were destined for each other.
It might not be now, but eventually, perhaps as she initially planned, she might indeed marry into the Patterson Family.
Moreover… it would still be because of the child she’s carrying.
