The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Simone arrived at the hospital parking lot. Upon opening her mailbox, she quickly glanced at what Steven had sent. She discovered that the decline of these families was not solely due to the reasons mentioned by Steven; there were also some details related to the geomancy association. She had a feeling that there was more to it, as if she hadn't grasped something crucial yet. She needed to go back and study it carefully. After closing the files, she went straight to Elbert's ward. She knocked on the door, and Karah opened it. She smiled and pulled Simone in, saying, "Simone is here; come in quickly." Then, when no one was paying attention, she quickly wrote the word 'stone' on Simone's arm with her fingers. Simone understood and nodded, saying with a smile, "Okay, auntie." Upon entering the room, not only was the main house of the Johnston Family present, but also the grandfather and grandmother. And then there were Salma and others. Nicholas smiled and said, "Mr. Lewis, this is the master, Simone, that I invited. She was the one who discovered the worms on my son. As for how to deal with the worms on my son next, please discuss it with her." In other words, they all listened to Simone. This surprised both Mr. Lewis and Salma. Salma looked at Nicholas and said, "Nicholas, this is a matter concerning your family. Why do you have to listen to Simone? Simone can't even find a way to remove the worms from your son. I even invited the president of the geomancy association, but the family still doesn't welcome me. I can't understand why they insist on having Simone come over. It feels like the family is intentionally humiliating me." Nicholas said, "We only trust Simone now." He frowned and looked at his sister, emphasizing, "You don't understand anything, so don't get involved." Salma choked. "I know you blame me for what I did before, but haven't I been trying to make up for it? Mr. Lewis was invited by me." Nicholas said coldly, "If it weren't for you, how could Elbert have been infected with the worms? Now you're acting as if you've done us a great favor." He now realized that his sister was too unreliable. If she had come to the hospital to visit and shown a proper attitude of admitting her mistakes after something happened, even if they severed ties, he wouldn't have felt so disappointed. But she didn't; she didn't make a single phone call or come to visit. Until today, when she managed to invite Mr. Lewis over, she carried herself as if she had done them a great favor, which was ridiculous and made him feel an unprecedented annoyance towards his sister. Salma's expression turned slightly ugly. Her brother was really going too far by saying such things in front of so many people.Lewis' eyes twinkled. He looked at Simone with a gentle and kind smile. "I have heard of Master Gray's name for a long time, and today, I can see that she is indeed extraordinary." He was somewhat shocked that he couldn't see through Simone. Could it be that she had already achieved the Divine State? But at her age, it is simply impossible! No, it couldn't be. Simone also looked at the president and noticed that his aura was not in disarray, indicating that he had used some method to recover. However, his physiognomy said he would live a short life. Although his physiognomy was somewhat blurry, she could still see something. The aura on the old man's body was similar to the person who had dealt with Jane before, indicating that they came from the same source. She had a feeling that this old man was the person behind the scenes. Especially when she first saw him, she felt a sense of disgust towards him. And that gentle and kind appearance, it was too fake. The old man's life was coming to an end, which was why he couldn't wait to come out. It seemed that what she had done before had a great impact on the old man. She smiled faintly, "I wouldn't dare to call myself a master when Mr. Lewis is around." She didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Can you cure Elbert's curse?" Lewis nodded. "Yes, although it's a bit troublesome, I can indeed cure it. If you're not reassured, you can watch me do it." Simone asked bluntly, "What are you after? I mean, what do you want from the Johnston Family?" Before Lewis could speak, Salma said unhappily, "Simone, why are you speaking like this? Lewis was specially invited by me to cure Elbert's curse. Why does it sound so utilitarian when it comes out of your mouth?" She was starting to be a little afraid of this daughter of hers. Could this wicked girl be trying to sabotage today's curse removal?Simone raised an eyebrow, "According to you, he was invited by you to cure Elbert's curse for free?" She looked at Lewis and gave him a thumbs up, "Impressive, President. Your moral is commendable." Salma and Lewis: "..." She really knows how to go along with the flow. Salma immediately said, "We invited Lewis to help with the curse removal, so of course, we have to give him compensation." Simone laughed. "So, it's still about wanting something. Why not just be straightforward about it instead of beating around the bush? I thought Lewis was so noble, but it turns out he's just like everyone else." Salma choked. "You!" Who speaks so bluntly and rudely? She frowned again and said, "How can you talk to the president of your geomancy association like this? Where are your manners? This wicked girl deliberately taunted the president of the association to embarrass me. Can't she see the current situation? This is not the time to throw a tantrum."Simone looked at her, feeling odd. "I quit the geomancy association a long time ago, don't you know? I was talking to Mr. Lewis about Elbert's matter, so can you stop interrupting?" she sarcastically added, "If I didn't know any better, I would think you were using your own nephew as a stepping stone, trying to curry favor with the president of the geomancy association." "You are still Mrs. Gray now, so can you please maintain some dignity?" Salma was so furious that she pointed at Simone and exclaimed, "You, you!" Mr. Lewis looked at Simone with confusion and asked, "Does Miss Simone have any misunderstandings about me?" Simone retorted, "Shouldn't I have a misunderstanding about Mr. Lewis?" Mr. Lewis appeared surprised and asked, "How did I offend you?" Simone retorted, "Do you even realize what you've done? Don't you possess any self-awareness?" She skillfully shifted the conversation and added, "I must admit, I find you quite disagreeable and repugnant. Does that concern you?" If the elderly gentleman intended to provoke her, she would willingly engage. The onlookers murmured, "..." Simone was truly bold!
