The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 344 This Is Not Difficult to Do, Right?

Simone could sense from Salma’s expression that she was unwilling to accept her reminder. It was clear that she didn’t want to believe it. With a smile, Simone said, “If you don’t believe me, then forget it. Some people just can’t handle the truth. They insist on associating with malicious individuals and end up harming themselves.” Deciding not to say anything more to Salma, Simone walked back upstairs to her room.

Salma turned around and watched Simone’s figure disappear, her face turning pale. In a fit of anger, she went back to her room and messaged Melinda, informing her of her failure. She explained that she couldn’t help anymore because Simone had discovered her hair. Melinda replied, saying it was okay but secretly cursed Salma as useless. She couldn’t even obtain a strand of hair. As a mother, Salma is a failure. The warlock had instructed her to try her best to obtain Simone’s hair or blood, as it would allow them to deal with Simone more effectively.

Melinda pondered the situation and decided to contact Leon. She asked her youngest son to find an opportunity to obtain a strand of Simone’s hair for her. She used similar words to explain to Leon that Simone’s transformation was due to a curse. If the curse could be broken, Simone would return to her previous self and reconcile with him. However, Leon didn’t believe any of this. Instead, he suspected that his mother might have hired a geomancer to deal with Simone. Why else would they need hair? It just didn’t seem normal. He not only refused to help but also spent a long time persuading his mother to stop causing trouble. Frustrated, Melinda hung up the phone herself.

After considering her options, she impulsively made a voice call to Jodie. To her surprise, the call connected. Melinda didn’t hide anything and told Jodie about hiring a warlock to deal with Simone. However, she clarified that her motive wasn’t personal resentment towards Simone. Instead, she couldn’t bear to see Simone bullying Jodie and wanted to seek revenge on her behalf. Jodie had already witnessed the online disputes between the Stewards and Melinda, so she didn’t fully trust Melinda’s words. Nevertheless, she expressed gratitude and thanked her.

Melinda explained why she had contacted Jodie. She knew that Jodie was harboring the most hatred towards Simone. Thus, she asked Jodie to find a way to obtain a strand of Simone’s hair. If possible, getting Simone’s blood would be even better. Jodie truly despised Simone to the core at that moment. She wished she could drink Simone’s blood and deyour her flesh. After hearing Melinda’s request, she realized that both Salma and Leon had failed to obtain the hair. She didn’t have much hope for Melinda either, but she agreed to try and find someone.

After ending the voice call with Melinda, Jodie pondered and thought of someone she could utilize. She put on a hat and a mask and left the geomancy association. The person behind her had solved her problem, so she was no longer held captive, and she was free to go out occasionally as long as she wasn’t discovered. In a little while, she would be completely free again. As she walked down an alley, someone suddenly covered her mouth and dragged her into another alley. Jodie was initially startled, but when she saw that it was her three former teammates from the polo team, she suddenly calmed down. She felt a sense of joy. It was true that good fortune often comes when least expected. These were the three people she had been searching for. She had been wondering how to find them, but who would have thought that they would come to her on their own accord? Fate was still favoring her.

Jodie pretended to be scared and asked, “What do you want from me?”

The fierce team captain coldly replied, “Because of you and your siblings, we lost the match. So, tell us how you plan to compensate us.” He had already discovered that Jodie and her siblings came from a wealthy family. Their previous loss in the match had caused them to miss out on the prize money, and they held Jodie and her siblings responsible for it. They hadn’t been able to find Jodie before, but today, they coincidentally ran into her, so naturally, they wouldn’t let her go.

Jodie inwardly criticized them. It was only because these three were incompetent that they lost the match. Now, they were shifting the blame onto them. However, people like them were easily dealt with. She put on an innocent look and said, “It was Simone who cheated, which caused us to lose the match. So, you should go find her.”

The team captain sneered, “We saw what you did with our own eyes. Don’t play innocent. We know exactly who you are.” He grabbed Jodie’s chin with his hand. “So don’t take us for fools

Simone was busy recording a live variety show and was difficult to catch. Besides, she had already distanced herself from the Gray Family, so she definitely didn’t have the wealth that Jodie possessed by staying behind. Only fools would let a rich prey right before them go.

Hearing his words, Jodie knew that they wouldn’t fall for any weak act. She didn’t beat around the bush anymore and asked, “Do you want money?”

The team captain smiled and said, “You’re quite clever.” Jodie asked, “How much do you want?” After thinking for a moment, the team captain said, “Give each of us 150 thousand as compensation, and we won’t pursue the matter any further.”

Jodie thought to herself that these people had such small ambitions. Four hundred and fifty grand was nothing to her. She no longer concealed her true intentions and straightforwardly said, “Alright. But you have to do something for me” Seeing the captain’s ugly expression, she added, “As long as it’s done, I’ll give each of you 300 grand.”

The captain’s interest was piqued, and he asked, “What do you want us to do?” Jodie said, “Just help me obtain a strand of Simone’s hair.” After a moment of consideration, she added, “If you can get her hair and blood, I’ll give you a million and a half.” She confidently asked, “How about it? It shouldn’t be difficult, right?” With the hair and blood, if the warlock Melinda had hired couldn’t deal with Simone, she could seek help from her uncle and hire an even more powerful geomancer to handle Simone.

Upon hearing the offer of a million and a half, excitement sparkled in the eyes of the captain and the other two individuals.

“It’s just hair and blood; it shouldn’t be difficult for us,” they acknowledged.

“Alright, we’ll do it,” the captain agreed.

He added, “But you have to pay 450 grand as compensation first, as a deposit. Once we provide you with Simone’s hair and blood, you can pay the remaining money.”

He feared that Jodie would deceive them.

If she were to run away and they couldn’t locate her, it would be a waste.

Jodie understood his concerns and readily agreed, “No problem.”

She then requested the captain’s account number and transferred 450 grand to him.

She simply hoped that these three individuals would be trustworthy and successfully obtain the items.

After receiving the money, the captain no longer bothered Jodie and allowed her to leave.

They then made preparations and sought an opportunity to capture Simone.

After discussing, they decided to make their move once the variety show live broadcast concluded, as it would be the best opportunity.

Over the next two days, Simone and her group continued to explore the ancient city with the audience in the live broadcast room.

They searched for hidden places and new ways to play that were not documented online.

Two days later, this episode of the variety show came to an end.

The production team then inquired about the guests’ departure plans from the ancient city so they could arrange their flights.

Simone informed the production team not to book her ticket as she wanted to postpone her return to Cebros for two more days. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She also needed to retrieve the items her master had sent to the geomancy association.

Zac initially wanted to stay with Simone, but she declined.

Simone had a feeling that Leon’s mother had hired a mystical arts practitioner to target her.

And she knew that someone would be watching when she retrieved her master’s items from the association.

So, she might encounter danger and trouble later, and she didn’t want to involve Zac.

Zac didn’t insist when Simone refused.

He asked her to keep in touch and departed with the other guests.

Leon and Aaron chose not to leave.

Aaron planned to go to the hospital and return to Cebros with Andrew once his condition stabilized.

Leon stayed because he knew his mother had come to the ancient city.

He was concerned that his mother would cause trouble for Simone, so he claimed to accompany her, but his true intention was to keep an eye on her.

Bailey returned to his residence in the ancient city and invited Simone to stay. However, Simone politely declined.

Later that day, after nightfall, Simone left the inn and headed alone to the geomancy association. Unexpectedly, she was intercepted on the way by three men.
