The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 305 The Second Attack On Scoundrel Number Four

Once again, Simone spent the day meticulously applying makeup. She then announced to everyone that she would cease wearing makeup from the following day onwards, as she was participating in a polo match. Simone also expressed her intention to explore other avenues for earning money. Although the girls who hadn't witnessed Simone's makeup prowess were disappointed, they all voiced their support and pledged to cheer her on in the polo match. Meanwhile, Eric and his three friends from another group found employment as waiters in a restaurant. Excluding Andrew and Jodie, everyone else from the three groups decided to dine out together. Back at the inn, Jodie's complexion had darkened slightly. Her face and hands were still marred by spots. Before heading to the restaurant with Andrew, she applied foundation to the exposed areas. While dining, she pondered her next move. Seeing her in this state, Andrew asked with concern, "Jo, are you still not feeling well? Should we visit the clinic?" In Cubilis, there were no modern hospitals, only traditional medicine clinics. For emergencies, a hospital was located outside Cubilis. Jodie shook her head, replying, "There's no need for a clinic visit. I still feel a bit dizzy, but it's much better than before." She added, "It might be the aftereffects of fainting due to blood loss."Seeing her like this, Andrew began to question whether he had been overthinking things. It seemed plausible that she had fainted from blood loss, and was still experiencing some lingering effects. So, he suggested, "Let me take you back to rest." He asked, "Can you still participate in the polo match tomorrow? If you can't, just let them know and withdraw." He was concerned that she might faint and fall off the horse. However, Jodie didn't seem to think it was a big deal. She shook her head, saying, "No need. I should be able to participate." She was counting on her performance in the match to find an opportunity to deal with Simone. Withdrawing was not an option.However, her luck had been depleted, and she was uncertain if any mishaps would occur during the match. She needed to devise a contingency plan. Do I have to use that thing? Seeing Jodie deep in thought, Andrew asked anxiously, "You don't look well. Are you sure everything is okay?" Jodie was irritated by his fussing, but she managed a sweet smile and reassured him, "Andrew, don't worry. Everything is fine." "If I still feel dizzy tomorrow, then I'll withdraw." Only then did Andrew nod in agreement, saying, "Alright." They returned to the inn. Upon removing her makeup, Jodie noticed that her face had more spots and wrinkles. She felt an urge to smash the mirror.She needed luck now. What should I do? If she asked Andrew for help again, he probably wouldn't assist her. Unfortunately, she was participating in a variety show. Otherwise, she would have sought help from a few other brothers to borrow their luck. She had no choice but to endure the variety show and figure out how to compensate for it when she returned to Cebros. Taking a deep breath, she stopped dwelling on it and retrieved a jade pendant from her suitcase. This pendant was given to her by her brother's geomancy master friend before she came to Cubilis, touted as a mystical tool. She was warned not to use this tool lightly. It only worked when worn by someone connected to her.If the other person willingly wore it, she could absorb their luck using a special method. However, this was considered a form of plundering, and the backlash would be severe if discovered. The other person would also suffer. Initially, she planned to use this tool on a few other brothers. She would borrow their luck amicably, and if they still heartlessly refused, she would have to take it by force. They couldn't blame her for being unjust if they were not righteous. But now, she had to use it prematurely. She thought to herself, letting Andrew use it for a few days shouldn't cause any problems. After all, Andrew was already so unlucky that a little more wouldn't make much difference.She would wear it during the variety show for a few days, not absorbing too much of his luck, just enough to maintain her current state. The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Since she could only use this pendant on a few other brothers anyway. It was a good opportunity to test it on Andrew. That was settled then. Andrew spoiled her so much he shouldn't blame her. If worse came to worst, she would spend more time with him to make up for it. The next morning, Jodie knocked on Andrew's door. Andrew, who had just woken up, rubbed his sleepy eyes as he opened the door. "Jo, are we leaving so early?" The other groups said they wouldn't arrive at the polo field until 10 a.m., and his alarm hadn't even gone off yet.Jodie smiled and said, "We still have two hours before departure." "I suddenly remembered that the master who gave me the bracelet also gave me a pendant." "He said it's a lucky charm. Wearing it can bring benefits." "Since we're going to play polo today, and you're the main player, I'll bring it over for you." "If you wear it, you'll have an extra layer of protection." Upon hearing this, Andrew couldn't help but feel touched. He smiled and said, "I have the bracelet to suppress any issues." "Aren't you prone to dizziness? Please wear it yourself. It's also safer." He genuinely wanted what was best for her. But Jodie found him indecisive and couldn't help but feel impatient. However, she said on the surface, "I'm not dizzy today, so it's more suitable for you to wear it." "At that time, I will rely on you for protection," she said. She continued saying many words, meaning she was doing it for his own good. If he refused, it would mean rejecting her goodwill, and she would be heartbroken. Andrew then hung the pendant around his neck, raising his hand to touch Jodie's head. "Alright. I'll accept Jo's goodwill." "I will protect you today as well." Seeing him like this, Jodie thought that Andrew was indeed the best. She originally wanted to hug him out of habit, but she restrained herself because they were outside the inn room. She rubbed her face against his hand, touching her head, saying, "Andrew is the best." Andrew was so good after she gathered some luck and stabilized herself today. She should take the pendant back tonight and give it to Aaron. Aaron was not treating her well at the moment, and with Simone's instigation, he probably wouldn't be willing to lend her his luck. So, she decided to take extreme measures and rely on Aaron for the next few days. Afterward, they both returned to their respective rooms. Jodie took out a talisman, wrote down Andrew's birthdate, and burned it with his hair. Then, she followed the person's instructions and recited a spell. She kept silently repeating in her mind, hoping to transfer Andrew's luck to herself.An hour and a half later, Jodie felt that she was much better, so she put on makeup and went downstairs in a good mood. Andrew had been called downstairs by Aaron several times before he reluctantly came down. Aaron noticed he didn't look well and jokingly asked, "Did you go stealing last night?" Andrew yawned and replied, "You're the one who went stealing. I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I'm not feeling too good today." "Go to the polo field later to wake up, and you should feel better." At that moment, Simone and Bailey, sitting not far away, glanced at Andrew. Bailey was slightly surprised, then wore a playful smile. Simone noticed the pendant hanging around Andrew's neck and thought that Jodie had targeted Scoundrel No. 4 again. She naturally wouldn't remind him now.She wanted Scoundrel No. 4 to experience Jodie's "deep sibling affection" and then expose him.
