The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Is She Joking? Simone and the others heard the notifications and opened the chat group. When they saw Zac’s messages, they burst into laughter. Eric and Keira shared the same thought. “He’s not just a cheeky young master. He’s deliberately provoking the other team and hitting them where it hurts. That’s cheeky, but as his teammates, we find it satisfying. I can only imagine how irritated Aaron must be,” they said. Smiling at Zac, Simone remarked, “Well done. He really gets under Aaron’s skin because he doesn’t like him. Good job.” Zac raised his head smugly. “I know.” After enjoying themselves, Deuce took Simone and her team to the apple orchard. There were other helpers there as well. Upon arriving. Deuce gave Simone and her teammates a pair of gloves each and said, “Help us pick the fruits.” Simone and her team put on the gloves and replied. “Sure.” They donned their straw hats and joined the other helpers in harvesting the apples.

Eric, Zac, and Keira started with great interest, but as time passed, their arms grew sore, their necks stiffened from constantly looking up, and their backs and legs began to ache from standing for too long. On top of that, the scorching sun was shining down on them. Keira sighed. “Thank goodness Simone made these straw hats, or our faces would be burned.” Eric and Zac agreed. “We’re lucky to have Simone.” Despite being guys, as celebrities, they had to take care of their faces. They had to admit that Simone was meticulous. As they harvested the apples, they chatted. Simone’s teammates had never done this kind of work before, especially under the scorching sun. If they weren’t live streaming, they might have given up. However, they saw Simone smiling and happily picking the apples, and they thought, “We can’t let her down.” So, they gritted their teeth and persevered. A while later, Deuce returned from the concession stand with a few bottles of mineral water and gave them to Simone and her team. Simone accepted the water and looked at Deuce. “Thanks.” It was then she noticed that Deuce’s philtrum was getting darker, as was the area around his mouth. She asked, “Where’s your son?” Deuce smiled. “He ran out first thing this morning.” His son was only seven years old, so he couldn’t help out. He was still at an energetic age, running around the village freely. Simone frowned. “I know physiognomy, and I think your son might be in danger.” Deuce froze. ‘What kind of danger?’ he wondered. “This pretty celebrity knows physiognomy?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Is she serious?’ Simone examined the darkening area around his mouth and confirmed her suspicions. “From what 1 can see, he might drown.” She quickly made a prediction and ran towards the orchard’s entrance. “Hurry! We don’t have much time.” Everyone was taken aback by Simone’s sudden sprint. Zac put his apples in the basket and said, “We’ll 1/3 check it out too.” He followed Simone. At first, Deuce didn’t believe it, but for some reason, he panicked and followed the two of them. Everyone else and the cameraman also joined. ‘Simone knows physiognomy?’ ‘Sounds like nonsense to me. Is she joking?’ ‘She didn’t even ask where Deuce’s kid went. Can she really find him running around like that?’ ‘I think she’s just trying to get attention. ‘If it’s fake, then she just cursed that guy’s kid.’ ‘That’s too much. I’m blocking her. ‘No one ever said she knew physiognomy. I think it’s fake. ‘Let’s wait and see.” Everyone stared at the screen without blinking.

Even viewers from other livestreams came over to watch after hearing about the situation. Aaron and Leon’s fans mocked Simone, not believing her at all. They flooded the chatroom with negative comments, annoying everyone. Simone tapped into Deuce’s aura and made a prediction based on his physiognomy, determining the general location of his son. Ten minutes later, she arrived at the dam built to water the fields. Standing on the edge, she saw two boys swimming and playing happily in the middle of the dam. Unbeknownst to them, danger was approaching. Their philtrums were getting darker, a sign that they would soon die. Simone quickly took off her hat and gloves, tossing them onto the ground. Then, she removed her shoes, leaped into the water, and swam towards the boys. The people who followed her found this strange. The viewers thought the same.. “What is she trying to do? Play around?” “Yeah, it’s not safe to swim in a dam, but Deuce’s son is fine, right?” “I’m impressed. Simone is making it look real.” “The kids are fine, but why is she jumping in to save them?” “Is she trying to get more attention? This seems desperate.” “I’m speechless. Jumping in just to save them seems unnecessary.” When Deuce saw his son in the water, he sighed with relief but shouted, “Get back up here, you brat!” Deuce’s son looked at him and instead of swimming back up, he went further away. “No. I want to stay here longer.” 2/3 His cousin followed suit.

Zac noticed Simone still swimming towards the kids. He had only known her for a few days, but he thought she was a woman who knew what she was doing. Seeing the boys swimming further away, he also took off his hat and gloves, tossing them onto the ground. Then, he kicked off his shoes, leaped into the water, and swam towards the kids. The people on the shore were stunned by his actions. “What is he trying to do?” The viewers had the same question. “What’s Zac doing?” “He didn’t have to get into the water. Just let the kids come back on their own.” “They think they’re helping, but they’re actually hindering.” “The kids swam further away after they arrived.” “Simone is desperate for fame. Of course, she came up with this to get more attention, but why did Zac do this?” “Maybe he’s mad too?” However, a tragic incident occurred. Suddenly, the water from the dam surged forward with the force of rampaging horses. Enormous waves crashed over the surface, pulling the startled boys beneath the water. Keira gasped. “The water has dragged them under!” Deuce’s expression turned horrified. “Oh no! Who opened the gates?” He was familiar with this scenario, as it would happen every time they needed to irrigate the fields. Deuce could only watch helplessly as the water carried his son towards the gates, causing his legs to give way. Situated on the hill, the dam stood nearly 100 feet above the fields. However, what was more concerning was the powerful rush of water that would occur whenever the gates were opened.

Once the children were pulled into the undercurrent, their chances of survival were uncertain. Deuce was on the verge of diving into the water to save his son, but his companions held him back. “Stay calm, the two of them are already reaching the kids.” “Yes, it’s too late for you to jump in. You might even impede their rescue efforts.”
