The Heiress' Savage Comeback
A few days ago, Joanne found herself on the brink of contemplating suicide due to her family's opposition. She resorted to cutting her wrist and lost a significant amount of blood. If she had not been taken to the hospital promptly, she would not have survived. After being saved, it was discovered that she was pregnant. The Belle Family's parents loved and spoiled their daughter immensely. They were afraid that if they continued to oppose her, she might attempt suicide again. Now that she was pregnant, they felt compelled to reluctantly accept the situation. Therefore, they had to compromise and talk to Steven. Since Joanne was pregnant, Steven didn't hold much resentment towards the Belle Family. Consequently, he agreed to their relationship. The two families also discussed and decided to hold an engagement banquet today. However, this alliance between the two families angered Salma. She not only frequently went to the Gray Family villa to cause trouble with Reuben, but she also attended the engagement banquet to oppose their marriage. She even publicly slapped her future daughter-in-law. All of this was done to ruin their engagement.Simone clicked on the trending video, which showed Salma hitting Joanne and then Sabrina pulling Salma's hair. In a corner of the video, she recognized Jodie, wearing sunglasses and disguised as a middle-aged woman with a sinister smile. Simone couldn't believe that Jodie had nothing to do with this incident. However, the engagement between the two families was not canceled. Although Sabrina reluctantly accepted it before, she had never been happy about her daughter's engagement to Reuben. But today, with Salma causing such a scene, she had a change of heart. She found herself liking what the woman she disliked opposed. So, after the fight with Salma, she became a good mother-in-law and comforted Reuben. Salma was forcibly taken away from the banquet hall by Steven's men. Simone looked at the photo, with Scumbag No. 1's gloomy eyes and ugly face. She smiled playfully. This was just the beginning. Scumbag No. 1 had more suffering to come. Afterward, Simone went to the studio every day to handle the accumulated work from the past few months.On this day, Simone was working in her office when her phone suddenly rang. The incoming call was from Harold, and she answered it. When she picked up, she heard Leon's voice on the other end. "Simone, Harold is in trouble." Simone was taken aback. "What happened to him?" Leon replied, "While we were having dinner, he suddenly passed out and hasn't woken up since." "We took him to the hospital for an examination, but they can't find anything wrong. But he won't wake up." "We suspect he might be under the influence of some kind of venom, so we need your help." Simone didn't refuse. "Okay. I'll come right away." She hurried to the hospital. Leon and Titus were both there in the ward. It was during their dinner together that Harold suddenly fainted. When Simone entered, both of them were relieved. "You're here." Simone nodded at the two of them without saying much. She walked directly to the bedside and took a look at the unconscious Harold. After examining him, she asked the two of them. "Before Harold fainted, did anything unusual happen? Not just during your dinner, but also recently." Leon thought for a moment. "He suddenly changed his attitude toward Freya. Does that count?" Titus also said, "Yes. He has been spending time with Freya recently, and it feels different from how he used to treat her." "Harold took over the entire Jenner Family and kicked out his stepmother and younger brother." "I heard that it was for him that Freya stabbed his mother and stepfather." "So, Harold didn't drive Freya away." Leon added, "Today, during dinner, he even sighed about how difficult Freya has been all these years." Then, he said with some indescribable anger. "He even said he wants to be with Freya." Not long ago, he was chasing after his sister every day, vowing to bring her back. But now, after just a month, this guy wanted to be with Freya. Leon couldn't accept it. If it weren't for Harold suddenly fainting, he would have been ready to leave with a disgruntled face. Simone's face showed a look of confirmation. She said, "He's been affected by a love venom." Leon and Titus were shocked. "What? Is he affected by a love venom? No wonder this guy suddenly wants to be with Freya and looks concerned about her. It's unbelievable." Harold was a bit like that, too. He could be very cold if he had no feelings for someone. It was unlikely for him to develop feelings again suddenly. He even suspected before that this guy might have taken the wrong medicine. He looked at Simone and asked, "Is it Freya who did this to him?" Simone replied, "It is Freya, and she used the most powerful love-locking venom." "After being affected by the love venom, Harold's perception of Freya will change, and he will gradually develop affection for her." Titus was puzzled. "But how did he suddenly faint? Could it be Freya's doing?" The things Harold said during dinner were orchestrated by Freya. In theory, she shouldn't harm Harold again. Simone said, "Although Harold said those things with his mouth, he is emotionally resistant." "He resists too much, so the love venom takes effect, and he faints." "Harold is rational and calm, so he hasn't completely fallen under the spell of the love venom." "As a result, the love venom in his body will take advantage of his unconsciousness to control his emotions."Leon asked worriedly, "Will he wake up on his own?" Simone replied, "He will wake up." "But after waking up, he won't be able to escape from that kind of control and will develop a deep love for Freya." Leon asked again, "Can the love venom in his body be removed?" This thing sounded terrifying. It could completely control a person's emotions. Simone nodded. "Yes. But Freya has to be close for it to work." She looked at Harold again. "Although you are calm and rational, you are also somewhat arrogant, so you are destined to face this calamity." She had previously noticed Harold's predicament and was curious how Freya would handle it. It must be acknowledged that the woman was ruthless, aiming to gain complete control over Harold. Titus remarked, "It's his fault as well." "I warned him to be cautious of Freya." "He didn't take it seriously and even claimed that the people supporting Freya had all been apprehended, so this woman isn't worth worrying about." He shrugged, "He ignored the advice, and now he's trapped, just like my brother." Ever since he fell for Jodie's deception and was dealt with by his sister, he no longer underestimates women.Harold and his elder brother were clearly excessively confident and fell into the trap. Suddenly, a question came to his mind. "Mr. Lewis and his son were caught, and Freya possesses the love venom." "Could it be that it existed previously? If Freya possesses it, does Jodie possess it as well?" Simone gave him a rare approving glance. "It appears that your mind is finally becoming clear." Titus was at a loss for words. That struck a chord with him. Then, he couldn't help but feel empathy for his brother.
