The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 355 What Happened to You?

Jodie was displeased when she heard him say that.

“What’s with your attitude? My brother specifically arranged for you to take care of me. You should take good care of me.”

The man’s eyes showed a hint of disdain. Ernest was nothing.

However, he didn’t bother explaining this to Jodie. “I’m just a friend of your brother, not his servant. Helping you is a favor, not an obligation. Take care of yourself”

He was truly annoyed with Jodie, who had been causing trouble recently and expected him to handle it.

After saying that, he walked away with a gloomy face.

She left Jodie with a sore and itchy arm; she was so angry that she cried.

But she had no choice. She covered the wound with clothes and went to the nearby medical clinic to bandage it.

She felt even more resentment towards Simone.

Jodie felt her whole body trembling with cold. The geomancy association didn’t use air conditioning, and she was still cold even after covering herself with several blankets.

After a while, she started sweating and felt like she was burning up.

After enduring it, she felt cold again and then hot again.

She couldn’t stand it anymore, so she had to call the man again.

The man said dismissively, “You won’t die. Just endure for a couple of days.”

Then he hung up the phone.

Jodie was so angry that she started hating this person, too.

What kind of people did her brother arrange? They used to have a good attitude, but now they were so terrible.

If only she could contact her brother, she would definitely complain to him.

For now, she could only endure.

In her room, Jodie was tormented by her swinging body temperature, and her body was sore and itchy.

On the other side, the three people who had already reached the border city.

One of them suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his neck and staring wide-eyed.

He kept kicking his legs, as if someone was strangling him.

Soon, he stopped breathing while kicking.

This startled the other two.

After disposing of the body, they hurriedly fled the country.

In the ancient city.

The warlock contacted Melinda and said that he had already clashed with Simone.

The opponent was very powerful, and he would only take action again if the price was increased.

Because this warlock was introduced by his beloved, Melinda trusted him very much.

The other party asked for an additional three million, and she agreed.

And at the other party’s request, she made a transfer.

Overseas.

Adam discovered that Melinda had transferred seven and a half million to an account.

He had someone investigate whose account it was.

It turned out to be someone from Tempesta, and who knew that Melinda had transferred another three million to this person.

This was very suspicious.

Then, his assistant brought news that this person was a warlock from Tempesta.

Adam’s face changed slightly. What is Melinda planning to do? Transferring money to a warlock can’t be for anything good.

After thinking for a moment, he had a guess.

He knew that Leon was keeping an eye on Melinda, so he called his son.

He asked him to remind Simone to be careful.

He also wanted to help his son and mend his relationship with Simone.

If it weren’t for fear of alerting the enemy, he would have already kicked Melinda out of the Fosters and cut off his funds.

Melinda hadn’t done anything productive with the Fosters’ money all these years.

He was surprised when the Stewards’ affairs were exposed online.

In his eyes, the Stewards were like clowns. Once he dealt with the person behind them, he would crush them.

Usually, he knew that Melinda was focused on her maternal family, so he pretended to be infatuated with Melinda, confusing the person behind her.

He could only turn a blind eye.

Therefore, he never took the Stewards seriously, thinking that they were difficult and troublesome people. He usually didn’t bother with them and didn’t care.

Who would have thought that the Stewards would use Melinda and take advantage of the Fosters’ power to commit so many illegal and despicable acts?

It disgusted him.

He couldn’t wait for the Stewards to be finished and all the criminals to be sent to prison. It was impossible for him to help.

So, he continued to play the disappearing act.

After receiving a reminder from his biological father, Leon couldn’t help but go directly to the ancient city to find Simone.

On the way, he ran into Jodie.

Seeing Jodie’s pale face, exhausted appearance, darker complexion, and poor skin, he was surprised.

How did this woman become like this? He thought she must have done something wicked and was now facing the consequences. She deserved it.

Jodie had come out today to buy medicine and felt someone watching her.

She looked up and saw Leon.

Then her face changed, and she immediately covered her face and turned to run away.

She didn’t want Leon to see her like this.

It would ruin the image he had of her in his heart.

Leon saw her turn and run and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

Simone had not only drawn talismans but also carved several jade stones to use as temporary tools for setting up formations.

When she heard a knock on the door, she got up to open it.

Seeing Leon standing at the door, she felt a bit puzzled.

“Do you need something?” She learned from Gwen that Leon hadn’t left the ancient city.

Instead, he was accompanying Melinda, who had come to the ancient city.

Leon’s heart tightened when he saw her cold demeanor.

“I have something important to tell you.”

“It’s not convenient to talk outside. Come in and tell me.”

After Leon entered, he didn’t waste time and went straight to the point.

“My dad called me today and said he found out that my mom had hired a warlock from the country of Tempesta and transferred 10.5 million to him. We suspect that she might have hired this person to deal with you.”

He had suspected that his own mother would play tricks, but he didn’t expect her to resort to this method.

He didn’t bother confronting or stopping his mother because he knew it would be useless. She wouldn’t listen to him.

All he could do was to warn Simone to be careful.

Simone didn’t expect Leon to come and remind her of this.

“I know about this. Previously, she conspired with Jodie and bribed…” She recounted the previous events.

Leon’s expression changed after listening.

He looked at her with concern, “Are you okay then?”

Simone nodded. “I’m fine. The three of them switched the strand of hair to Jodie’s.”

As Leon breathed a sigh of relief, he finally understood why Jodie had become like that.

“No wonder,” Simone thought to herself. “I bumped into Jodie earlier, and she appeared noticeably older, pale, and exhausted.”

“She brought this upon herself,” Simone concluded, understanding the reasons behind Jodie’s appearance.

Upon hearing Leon’s words, Simone realized that Jodie was indeed heading in the direction. she had expected.

Feeling relieved, Simone could now move on to the next step.

She turned her attention to Leon and inquired, “Didn’t you visit the hospital to check on Andrew?”

Leon looked puzzled and replied, “No, why?”
