The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Salma faced the harsh reality, her eyes shifting towards Jodie, who wore a shocked expression. "Is he your biological father?" Salma asked, her voice filled with curiosity. Confused, Jodie replied, "I don't know!" She had always considered herself a child of the Steward Family. Turning to Mr. Lewis, unable to contain herself, she questioned, "Is what Simone said true?" Mr. Lewis confirmed, "Yes, it's true. Do you have any objections?" He didn't favor Jodie as his daughter, finding her less intelligent than Tina. Only Jodie and Simone's birth charts were more mutually conflicting, and she was easier to manipulate, which is why she was chosen. At that moment, he regretted his decision. Jodie was momentarily speechless. She couldn't believe her biological father was an old man. She wondered why her mother and Leon's mother fell for Mr. Lewis. She had seen Mr. Foster, who was much better than Mr. Lewis both in appearance and temperament. Mr. Lewis could easily see the somewhat complex and disdainful expression on Jodie's face. His complexion turned even more unpleasant as he said, "It's because of you that I have faced repeated backlash and ended up like this." Otherwise, when facing his woman, he always appeared quite young and attractive. Seeing her biological father unhappy, Jodie quickly feigned excitement, saying, "Dad, I never expected you to be my biological father. That's great." She preferred an older father with money and influence over a useless one. She figured out why there were always geomancy masters who helped her. It turned out it wasn't her biological brother but her biological father who had been helping and supporting her behind the scenes. She thought, Having a powerful president as my biological father is a good thing for me. Therefore, Jodie quickly accepted this fact. Mr. Lewis's expression eased a bit. Although Jodie was somewhat useless, she was sensible. Salma's face changed again. She pursed her lips and looked at Mr. Lewis, asking, "Did you have Jodie's mother take away my biological daughter and give her to human traffickers?" Mr. Lewis admitted, "Yes, so what?" He bluntly added, "I also manipulated Jodie and had her sent to your family for adoption. My purpose was to take away your family's luck."Before he arrived, he had already checked with instruments and found no recording or monitoring devices. To be more cautious, he even activated interference devices. So even if he admitted to these things now, he wouldn't acknowledge them once he left. Moreover, Salma and Simone were about to become dead people, and they couldn't disclose anything. Salma was once again struck and angrily said, "You are truly shameless." She couldn't have imagined that the president of the geomancy association would be such a person. And to think that she had raised the enemy's daughter as her own made her feel heartbroken and resentful. He showed no shame, retorting, "It's your own stupidity." Salma choked, "You!" for a moment, not knowing what to say. Mr. Lewis ignored Salma. He noticed that the battle between the great warlock and Simone was still in the superficial probing stage. He couldn't help but say, "Stop playing around and show some real skills. Get rid of them, and let's leave here quickly." Salma widened her eyes. "What do you mean? Do you want to kill us?" She could tell that Mr. Lewis was referring to her and Simone. Mr. Lewis impatiently replied, "You know too much." Salma shrank back in fear. She never wanted to know so much. She turned to Simone and asked, "What should we do?" She didn't want to die. Simone sighed. "Wasn't it your idea to involve me? Why are you asking me?" Salma awkwardly said, "I didn't know he was this bad." Now she regretted it, realizing that she had fallen into the trap of the old man. She shouldn't have called Simone here today. Simone glanced at her. "I've always said that he's not a good person, but you didn't believe me. You even thought I was deliberately opposing you. Now you have to admit it while crying and kneeling." Salma choked again, feeling guilty. "I thought with his status, it's unlikely for him to be a bad person. Who knew..." Simone sneered, "Stop making excuses. It's pointless." Salma always did this—whenever something happened, she would find excuses and try to avoid responsibility. Simone didn't bother with Salma anymore. Instead, she took out a mystical tool with negative energy and attacked the great warlock, saying, "Let's finish this quickly.""I thought the same," the great warlock replied, also taking out his mystical tool and attacking Simone. Upon seeing the impending real battle, Mr. Lewis intensified his attack on Simone. At that moment, he not only suffered a backlash but also felt an indescribable panic, wanting to swiftly deal with Simone, fearing unforeseen consequences. Simone and the great warlock, originally attacking each other, abruptly redirected their assault simultaneously. Two dense negative energies surged toward Mr. Lewis. Mr. Lewis's eyes narrowed, revealing a look of disbelief. However, he was always cautious. Despite collaborating with the great warlock, he remained on guard against him. Especially in this kind of confrontation, he had taken measures to protect himself. Immediately, he took out his mystical tool to defend himself. The force attacking Simone was also blocked by her prepared defense. Attacked by two celestial masters of the Divine State, Mr. Lewis, despite his considerable strength and defensive mystical tool, couldn't withstand the attack and spurted out blood. He suffered serious injuries. With a gloomy look, he questioned the great warlock, "Why?" He realized the great warlock had collaborated with Simone against him.The great warlock sneered, "How dare you ask me why? The aura that infected my disciple is all from you. It has nothing to do with Simone." He continued with a gloomy face. "I know about your scheme to frame my disciple and shift the blame onto Simone. Do you think you can deceive and manipulate me? You're dreaming." If it weren't for Mr. Lewis's scheming, he wouldn't want to be enemies with him. Although his son didn't die, his whole being was crippled. His body's foundation was damaged by the curse, rendering him unable to cultivate in the future, and he could only live as an ordinary person. Moreover, his body would perpetually remain weak, and his lifespan would be limited. This filled him with resentment, and naturally, he couldn't let Mr. Lewis get away with it. Mr. Lewis was taken aback. "Did Simone deceive you?" He had imitated Simone's aura in the curse, so theoretically, the great warlock shouldn't have noticed. The formidable warlock fixed a cold gaze upon Mr. Lewis. "My disciple did not perish, and he witnessed your disciple casting a curse upon him that day. Therefore, it is still you who shall meet your demise." After uttering these words, he moved his fingertips, and suddenly, a palm-sized venomous snake lunged towards Mr. Lewis, poised to bite him. Mr. Lewis was prepared and swiftly threw out a talisman.However, at that very moment, Simone also threw out a talisman, which coincidentally landed on top of his talisman. The two talismans made contact and instantaneously turned to ashes. Consequently, the venomous snake successfully landed on Mr. Lewis's arm and bit him. Mr. Lewis realized that he had been manipulated by Simone all along. He tore the snake into two halves and hastily retrieved an antidote pill to swallow. He covered his arm and gazed at Simone, remarking, "I never anticipated that one who spends their days hunting geese would eventually be deceived by a goose." In the past, he had been the sole mastermind scheming and plotting against others. But now, for the first time, he found himself being schemed and plotted against, feeling frustrated and aggrieved.
