The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 396 What Kind Of Tricky Move Is This? Simone Blocks The Hand That Was About To Slap Her With A Backhand

Simone sneered, "You hear people applauding your talent for keeping your man in line, but deep down, do you really think you're as remarkable as they make you out to be? Do you think they are so oblivious that they don't realize it's a skill you picked up from the harsh treatment you imposed on your husband?" She let out another round of mocking laughter. "With a fierce mother tiger like you calling the shots at home, Oliver Johnston can't even lift his head." "Doesn't he just have to go out there and seek solace from some gentle lady? If you don't believe it, hire a private detective." "Your husband has a handful of illegitimate kids, and they are all already grown up. You can't keep that under wraps..." Mrs. Bridgette likes to think she knows it all. Now, despite all her confidence and pride, she will let the other party see how much of a failure her so-called "husband-taming expertise" can be. And this woman's personality is similar to Mrs. Gray's. Whenever something happens, she likes to blame others. With her demeanor, Mrs. Gray has surely said more than a few unkind words behind her back. It was later discovered that Mr. Oliver has been supporting other women and illegitimate children. She would think that if she didn't want to help her sister-in-law, she wouldn't have brought up such a scandal. In addition to resenting her, she would vent her anger on Mrs. Gray. Then, Mrs. Gray would truly be isolated and abandoned by the Johnston Family. And in their social circle, Mr. Johnston is known for doting on his wife. In reality, he is afraid of his wife and is heavily suppressed by Mrs. Bridgette. She has even physically assaulted Mr. Oliver before. When they argue, they even resort to violence. She has heard Mrs. Gray complain about it before. But she is on the same side as her younger siblings and thinks that men should be dealt with in this way. Mrs. Gray probably wants to suppress Steven Gray like this, but he has a dominant personality, so she has no chance. When Mrs. Bridgette can't hit Simone, she glares at her and says, "You're talking nonsense. You're deliberately trying to provoke our relationship.""How could my husband possibly go and find other women and have illegitimate children?" "We have a loving relationship, and it's well-known in our social circle." Deep down, she feels a bit uneasy but is reluctant to believe it. Simone sneers, "What's well-known about you two is not your loving relationship, but Mr. Oliver being a pushover, being controlled by a tiger mom like you all the time." In social circles, behind closed doors, that's how the ladies gossip about their marital relationship. When Oliver Johnston hears this, he can't bear it anymore and says, "Enough, this is a hospital. Stop arguing." He hates it the most when others call him a pushover. They are tearing into each other so quickly that Old Mr. Johnston and Old Mrs. Johnston are left bewildered. On one hand, they didn't expect their granddaughter to be so strong and domineering. In addition, they also didn't expect their second daughter-in-law to be so unreasonable. She first mocked Simone, but after being retorted, she even wants to fight with the younger woman. Old Mr. Johnston's face darkens. He looks at his second daughter-in-law and says, "Today, I asked you to visit Elbert, not to come here to argue." "And you have the nerve to say that Simone doesn't respect the elders. Look at yourself and see if you act like an elder." Aunt Karah continues, "We invited Simone, and we trust her." "If the second sister-in-law doesn't believe Simone, why don't you leave first." She didn't say this earlier because upon seeing Simone, she avoided getting into trouble with her sharp-tongued and troublemaking second sister-in-law, and she also managed to express everything on her mind. Aunt Bridgette yanks her wrist free from Simone's grip, smirking coldly. "Why should I leave first?" she sneers. "I don't believe in any venom, and I certainly don't buy that this is the work of my dear little sister." "I want to stay here and see how she presents more evidence." She plans to return today and hire a private detective to investigate her husband. Then, armed with the results of the investigation, she will confront Simone. Let the other party know that their marriage is loving. Although her husband is unsuccessful in his career, he respects and loves her within the Gray Family. He would never dare to have affairs outside, as she always has control over him. This wild girl can never stir up trouble between them. Upon hearing the two of them changing the topic, Oliver can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If they keep on dragging this out, he is genuinely afraid his wife will start investigating. Fortunately, she is used to oppressing him, so she is confident that he won't have affairs or illegitimate children outside. Simone looks at Old Mr. Johnston and asks, "You don't believe your daughter would willingly harm her grandson?" Old Mr. Johnston nods. "That's right." Simone nods. "Alright, then I'll prove it to you." "Since Uncle Nicholas invited me to help, I undoubtedly have to give them an explanation." She takes out her phone, opens the group chat, and mentions Titus. And deliberately does it in front of Old Mr. Johnston and others. She plays a recording. "Your mother is causing trouble again. Why don't you and your brothers visit the hospital to see your fifth cousin?" She also repeats the address. Titus happens to be at home at this time. When he hears Simone's voice message, he is instantly overwhelmed. He asks in a voice, "What did my mother do this time? What does it have to do with my fifth cousin?" Simone doesn't hide anything, either. "She was instigated by Jodie Gray and employed a master recommended by Jodie Gray to transfer the witchcraft from her body to your fifth cousin." Titus replies, "What kind of trick is this? We'll come immediately."This is a big deal. If his mother did something like this, it would affect the relationship with the Johnston Family. Something must have happened to his cousin, so the Johnston Family asked Simone for help. And with Simone, there is no way his mom and Jodie can escape. Besides, this kind of thing is bound to be discovered sooner or later. It's like trying to hide a fire with paper. If they investigate from the source, they will find his mom involved. Titus jolts awake and immediately gets out of bed. He calls his third and fifth brothers, and the three of them rush to the hospital. Simone and Titus sent voice messages, which were heard by the Johnston Family. Upon hearing the messages, Old Mr. Johnston frowned and expressed his surprise, "Salma Johnston has been cursed? She never mentioned it to us before." Simone replied, "Yes, she did." "She didn't inform you because the curse causes red spots to appear on the face and body. She likely felt too embarrassed to reveal herself." Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Johnston was shocked, "What? Will I also develop red spots all over my body?" He dreaded the idea of his handsome face being marred and thought it would be better to be killed.
