The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 260 This Is Fun

Jane had an overwhelming desire to strangle Simone. This woman must be doing it on purpose, always stirring up trouble. She narrowed her eyes at Simone and said, "It's all because of you that I ended up like this, right?" Simone raised an eyebrow and replied sarcastically, "You're just unlucky; what does it have to do with me? You're really good at shifting blame. You lost all the bids in the open auction, and you said it was your company's worthless gemstone appraiser. And now that you've messed up your own bid, you're trying to blame me." She continued mockingly, "Why don't you say that I took your bid and had someone step on it and throw it in the trash can?" Zac chimed in with a laugh, "If there wasn't surveillance footage, she might actually get away with it."She took a few steps back, saying, "I better keep my distance from Miss Fordson." Jane thought to herself, This woman is so despicable. She couldn't believe Simone hadn't intervened in this matter. Simone was brought in by Tommy to deal with her, but she had gone too far. Then, she suddenly asked Simone, "Where's my sister?" Simone looked at her with confusion, "You're asking me?" Jane said, "Yes, did you hide my sister?" She was testing Simone. Jebediah had just called her and said that they couldn't find June, no matter what they did. When they checked the surveillance footage, they only saw June leaving the auction hall and then nothing. It meant that there was something wrong with the surveillance footage.Jebediah had sent people to search nearby. Jane suspected that Simone had hidden June. She was on the verge of a breakdown and felt that the only way to save herself was to find June, and she was certain that her streak of bad luck and June were closely related. Once she found her sister, she would teach her a lesson she would never forget. She would break June's legs and see how she could run. And she wouldn't let Simone, the main culprit, off the hook either. Simone looked at Jane as if she was crazy and said, "I don't even know your sister, so how could I hide her? Miss Fordson, defamation is also a crime, and I can sue you for it." Lara sneered. "Jane, if you want to divert the topic and everyone's attention, you don't have to be so brainless and accuse Simone, do you? Since entering the public market until now, she has been with us the whole time. When bidding, not only did she not have any contact with your sister, but she also never went out. Can you really blame her for this? You're not the queen of gambling, but the queen of blaming." Tommy also added, "Everyone heard the harsh words you said before. You keep using Simone as an excuse over and over again. Isn't that too much?" At this moment, he also noticed something was off. Looking at Jane's appearance, it didn't seem like she was just making excuses to accuse Simone. She was genuinely worried and anxious to find June. Earlier, his assistant mentioned that Jebediah had taken a group of people to search for June everywhere. Jane didn't have a deep affection for June, but at this moment, she cared so much. If there were no tricks involved, he wouldn't believe it.Upon careful consideration, it seemed that every time they encountered Jane gambling on the public or private board, she was accompanied by June. He used to think that Jane was just showing off their sisterly bond by intentionally bringing June along for the jewelry bidding, but now, he couldn't help but have some doubts. Could Jane's remarkable ability be related to June being by her side? This was interesting. Jane also regretted it now. If she had known it would backfire like this, she wouldn't have been so harsh toward Tommy and Simone before. She couldn't help but suspect that Simone had led her into this trap. "What's really going on? You both know it in your hearts." She looked at Simone with a meaningful look and said, "If my sister can't be found, I will report it to the police."Simone raised an eyebrow, "Then go ahead and report it. Why are you looking at me?" If Jane reported it to the police, she would make June voluntarily explain the situation and clarify that nothing had happened and it was her own decision to leave. Adult sisters didn't need to report their whereabouts to each other, and June should have seen it herself by now. When Simone said she would livestream for June, she naturally wouldn't hold her own phone and have a video call with the other party. Instead, she asked Zac's assistant to help hold the phone and connect it to Lisa's phone. June just sat on the side and watched without showing her face. Simone wouldn't let Jane discover or catch onto these small details. June was indeed watching the livestream video now. Seeing Jane's current state, she knew that the other party probably wanted to harm her. If the other party went to the police, she would explain and not involve Simone. Seeing Jane now, she lacked the previous calmness, rationality, and confidence. Not only was she unlucky, but she also found herself in a dilemma, and her mood became joyful as a result. On the public platform, Tommy didn't want Jane to drag on any longer. So, he looked at Jane and said, "These things are not important right now. You should quickly fill out the registration form and hand it over to the staff for screening. Sending someone to help you find the registration form earlier wasted a lot of time. Those people are not employees of your family, so helping you is a favor, not a responsibility." He looked at her intentionally, implying, "Or do you want those useless people you mentioned to practice instead? If that's the case, the Fordsons might not be able to get a single piece of jade at this year's public auction." He wanted to pressure Jane and also wanted to see if she could still be as formidable without June by her side. When Jane heard this, her expression became even more unpleasant. She was about to speak when one of the Fordsons' experts in stone gambling remarked, "As someone who is not skilled, I won't participate in the excitement." He wasn't foolish, either. He could sense that something was amiss with Jane's stone gambling today. After being publicly labeled as useless by Jane, he also had his own pride and didn't want to be held responsible for her actions. The other experts in stone gambling also chimed in, saying, "That's right; we individuals who lack skill won't take part." "Whether the company can acquire more jade still depends on you, Miss Fordson.""As for the private bids, you should handle them yourself, Miss Fordson, and we won't engage." Since Jane claimed they were practicing, then they would no longer practice, leaving it to her. The onlookers were also perplexed by Jane's behavior. Is there something wrong with her if she's blaming everything on Simone? Simone was recognized by many, even by those who didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry, due to her exceptional talent. Therefore, when Simone remained seated in the auction venue without leaving, everyone took notice. Many also noticed that Jane didn't seem interested in continuing with the private bids, so they joined in the teasing. "It's not appropriate to keep the staff occupied." "Miss Fordson, it's more important to focus on the main task. Fordson Jewelry relies on you." "We have faith in you, Miss Fordson; go ahead." Jane was urged by everyone and had no choice but to proceed with a forced smile. "Let me double-check the numbers once again."
