The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Simone glanced at Skyler. "Have you noticed anything peculiar about his behavior towards you?" Skyler pondered for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure if it's just my imagination. It was when he caught me staring at him. I always feel like his gaze towards me is complicated. It's as if he's looking at defective goods, wanting to destroy them but hesitating. I also had an eerie feeling at that moment." Simone remarked, "It's probably not just your imagination. He must have realized that you saw something when you were staring at him. When you were unconscious earlier, I also suspected that he might be responsible." She explained the incident of breaking the curse, "So I think he might be feeling impatient for some reason. That's why he took the initiative to show up, even if it means exposing himself."Skyler contemplated for a moment and said, "When we saw him before, it was mentioned that he had just come out of seclusion. And the instruments we carry with us indicated that his aura was chaotic and his life force was weak." He asked, "Could it be because of this that he couldn't stay still?" Simone recalled how that person had experienced several backlashes in a row, causing his lifespan to decrease. Perhaps he doesn't have much time left, so he couldn't wait any longer? She nodded. "That's very likely. Let's wait for feedback from the Johnston Family." Skyler and Joseph nodded. "Okay." The other party's identity was too special, so they needed to confirm it again before reporting. The three of them sat down, analyzing and watching the surveillance footage on the computer. However, there was no activity captured in the surveillance video. After about half an hour, Simone's phone rang.She took it out and saw that it was indeed Nicholas. She answered, "Uncle, is there something you need?" Nicholas knew that she was pretending not to know. He said, "Simone, Salma has invited the president of the geomancy association to come and take a look at Elbert. She said he could break the curse. But we don't really understand it, so we wanted to ask you to come and help take a look. Do you have time to come to the hospital now?" Simone replied, "I have time; I'll come right away." It would be strange if she wasn't proactive about this kind of thing. After ending the call, Simone said to Skyler, "You rest well; we'll take care of the rest." Skyler nodded. "Okay. Although that person's aura is chaotic, I feel that he is very strong, extremely strong. I have a feeling like an ant in front of a giant as if he could easily scare me to death at any moment. So be careful."Since birth, he had possessed a sixth sense that surpassed normal people. And it had always been accurate. Simone smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder. I will be cautious." That old individual must be very powerful; otherwise, he wouldn't have set up so many traps. Actually, even if it was not the old individual, it was quite simple for her to kill someone now. But if they dared to do so, they would be punished by the heavens. So, even after achieving the Divine State, it was not a free pass to do whatever one wanted. This was also one of the reasons why the old individual could not kill Skyler and Simone directly. The hospital where Elbert was staying was not far from here, and Simone drove there herself. On the way, her phone rang again. Simone answered the call using Bluetooth. Steven's voice came through the phone, "Simone, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient to talk now?" Simone replied, "Go ahead, I'm listening."Steven said, "I have almost finished investigating the matter you asked me to look into. Every few decades or so, there are indeed prosperous and wealthy families whose members become very unlucky. The family head also frequently makes mistakes, leading to the complete decline of the family. I could only find information from the past hundred years, and there are about a dozen such families. They are located in different regions, all of which initially had good fortune and have been passed down for at least several generations. Because the rise and fall of these families is normal, no one noticed anything wrong or made any connections." Steven paused and continued, "I also found that these families have all had cases of fake heiresses, adopted daughters, or the family head having a love affair. Should I send you all the information I found for you to look at? It's quite shocking." The information he found left him feeling both shocked and concerned. If they hadn't investigated carefully, who would have thought that the decline of these wealthy families was actually manipulated by someone?He was even more frightened. If it weren't for Simone's discovery and exposure of the problem with Jodie and the geomancy master worshiped by the Gray Family, their family would most likely follow in the footsteps of these families. All of his sons would have their fortune drained and suffer consecutive misfortunes. In the end, he would also lose his mind and take measures to bankrupt and close down the Gray Group. Simone was not surprised by this result, "Okay, send it to my email." That old monster seems to have survived until now by absorbing fortune. She asked, "By the way, do you know that your wife invited the president of the geomancy association to remove the curse for Elbert?" Steven was taken aback and replied, "I didn't know about this. When did she even meet the president of the geomancy association? It must have been Jodie's doing." If his wife knew the president, she wouldn't have resorted to transferring the curse. Simone said, "Yes, it was Jodie's idea. That president is probably Gwen's and Jodie's biological father." "So, you should contact Mr. Foster and tell him to be cautious," after thinking for a moment, she decided to remind Steven. Steven was shocked, "The president is the mastermind behind this? But now that I think about it, he does have the capability. I heard that this president has been in office for over a hundred years, which matches the timeline. No wonder he's over a hundred years old and still so energetic. Turns out he specializes in absorbing others' luck to prolong his lifespan." Simone said, "He's not just over a hundred. He's at least over two hundred." Steven was shocked once again, "He's that old?" No wonder he's so capable of causing trouble. "We can't be completely sure it's him yet. I'll go to the hospital and check." "Anyway, both you and Mr. Foster should be careful. If your wife suddenly asks you to do something, be cautious."Salma was currently furious and easily influenced by Jodie to engage in impulsive actions. Steven had lost all hope in his wife. "Alright, let's proceed cautiously. And you too. If the other party is too powerful, we shouldn't confront them directly. We have a purpose for being here." He was still worried about his daughter's safety. Simone didn't hold back. "If I lose, then you guys have no hope of winning at all." Steven choked up and helplessly replied, "I'm just concerned about you." Simone smiled. "Thank you for your concern, but I don't need it." Now, upon hearing the other person's concern, she not only didn't feel touched but also felt uneasy. Steven: "..." Well, he had now experienced his daughter's sharp tongue.
