A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 337

Ana came to a conclusion that even she couldn't believe.

Last time, when she swore an oath and got struck by lightning, she knew she was lying. And the geomancer said the same thing—that it wasn't a coincidence.

So now, Harold swore an oath… and thunder immediately rumbled across the sky? Did that mean he really tried to burn Demi alive? Was Harold really willing to do such a thing for her?

Sure, she knew the whole Pitt family favored her, but would he really go that far? Would he actually try to kill their adopted sister just for her?

Ana's mind was reeling, and she didn't even notice the flood of angry comments in the chat.

"You seriously tried to kill her? Are you even human? Demi is your—" Maria snapped as she stared at Harold. Her eyes were wide, and she pointed at him in disbelief.

Her voice snapped Ana back to the present. She looked at the screen and finally saw the live stream comment section. It was brutal. All the comments were aimed at her and her brothers.

Her heart started racing. Only after Maria stopped short did she finally breathe again, thankful she hadn't said what she almost did.

She quickly started typing, trying to fix the damage.

@SmilingBright: "It's just a coincidence! We're all educated people here. Don't start buying into superstitious nonsense!"

"If it's a coincidence, why was Harold clearly terrified?"

"Not just now—he was scared before he even said anything."

@SmilingBright: "I think Demi must've done something. There's no way that lightning was natural."

"Oh please—now she controls the weather? Is Demi secretly the God of Thunder? Lemme guess—next, you'll say she's the goddess of thunder. You're more superstitious than anyone."

"Funny how the one warning others not to be superstitious is the first one reaching for conspiracy theories."

"Judging by your name, you're probably one of Ana's fans. I have some friendly advice for you. You might be time to stan someone decent. Demi seems like a better bet."

Ana saw that last comment and nearly choked from anger.

He came on this show just to have some fun and maybe boost his public image. Now, suddenly, he'd been branded a would-be killer. How the hell was he supposed to keep working in the hospital? What about high society? His career? His life?

He looked over at Demi, eyes full of rage.

And she stared right back—unshaken, completely unfazed.

In truth, that thunder and lightning? That wasn't natural. It hadn't come from the sky on its own. Unlike Ana's oath, this time, it was her doing.

The moment Harold raised his hand and started his so-called oath, Demi crushed a thunder talisman in her palm.

She hadn't asked him that question because she wanted an answer. She'd said it before—whether those four left her behind on purpose, or by mistake, or just forgot her, it didn't matter.

What mattered was how he marched in here, yelling at her about "not helping", acting like some self-righteous hero, and talking down to Maria like she was the problem.

And she'd warned them before not to come at her or push her limits. But they never stopped.
