The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 490 The Grand Finale 

The spiritual space began to collapse, causing panic among everyone present.

Realizing the danger, Simone quickly rushed towards the window, opened it, and jumped out.

However, the height of the fall was dangerous for her, considering the Divine State.

Sage, witnessing Simone’s actions, couldn’t help himself and followed suit, leaping out of the window.

As soon as they landed, the spiritual space collapsed, leaving behind a scene of destruction.

Suddenly, a magnificent sight unfolded as a ten-meter-long snake with transparent wings emerged from underground Standing on its back was Bailey.

Sage, seeing the snake and Bailey, couldn’t remain calm any longer.

“How is it possible that you came out unscathed?” He immediately used the sect leader’s token to activate the demonic rift, but there was no response.

His expression changed once again. “No, this can’t be.”

Bailey stood on the snake, looking coldly at Sage, “What’s impossible? I was only one step away achieving complete unity. After merging with Cubilis, I would have advanced even further. Then, while I was in another place, my state of mind suddenly became clear. Today, when the demonic rift appeared again, I thought that if I didn’t enter the lion’s den, how could I catch the lion? So, I let it swallow me. Sur enough, it dragged me to its true origin after I experienced a life-threatening crisis. After facing life and death, I gained complete understanding and stepped into the realm of complete unity. But this demonic rift is my nemesis. Although it can no longer completely devour my soul, it can trap me and prevent me from leaving. That’s why I sought help from Simonc. Her snake happens to be fearless of the demonic rift. With me suppressing the demonic rift, it can roam freely and bring me out. I also sealed the core of the rift with a special method so it won’t cause you any more trouble.”

Since Simone discovered that Sage was Magnus’ biological father, they began to make preparations.

If Sage could make arrangements, then they certainly could as well.

Everything went according to Simone’s expectations.

Sage’s expression changed multiple times. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “I underestimated you.”

Simone smiled. “Underestimating one’s enemy can be fatal.”

Sage sneered. “Do you really think you can deal with me? If I didn’t have a trick up my sleeve, I wouldn’t have let you come.”

With that, he took out a golden glass ball from his pocket. Inside, there were many strands of something resembling golden threads.

He infused his energy into it, and the glass ball suddenly emitted beams of golden light, dispersing in all directions.

“The Cloudmist Observatory has been open for over two hundred years, and it wasn’t for nothing. You don’t care about the lives of those ordinary people, do you? Today, I will sac

If he didn’t have a backup plan, he wouldn’t have sought an opportunity to devour Bailey.

Simone’s expression turned terrified, and she said, “Oh, we’re so scared!”

Meanwhile, Bailey looked at Sage with a mocking expression.

Sage felt that something was off with their expressions, and the feeling of unease grew stronger.

Then, he realized that his spell was being blocked by a force several meters away.

He couldn’t believe it. “How is this possible?” Just then, Joseph and Skyler walked up from the steps.

Joseph spoke, “Why is it impossible? If you can do it, so can we.”

Sage looked at the two of them and saw that they were holding a machine in their hands.

The machine had several things that looked like antennas.

He noticed that these things emitted a disruptive force that disturbed the magnetic field.

In an instant, he understood why his spell had failed.

As these gadgets disrupted the magnetic field, his sacrificial power couldn’t find the right direction.

He immediately walked to the edge of the mountain and looked down.

He saw a thick layer of mist below, blocking the view from above and below.

He also realized that the people who were supposed to be sacrificed were still alive and well.

His expression became gloomy and ugly. “I fell into your trap.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He looked at Simone. “It’s all because of you, isn’t it?” He knew Simone was still a technical consultant for the special department.

She specialized in combining metaphysics and creating high-tech gadgets.

These gadgets used against him must be related to Simone.

Simone nodded. “Yes,”

Sage regretted once again, thinking that he should have killed Simone earlier.

Blood even dripped from his lips, showing his anger.

After living for so many years, he was defeated by a young girl in her twenties.

His proud plan was shattered by Simone, and he fell into her trap.

He was unwilling to accept this.

Sage’s mentality collapsed, and he only wanted to go on a killing spree.

He tried to invoke the negative energy around him to kill but failed to do so.

The magnetic field interference was too strong, and the negative energy was crushed before he could invoke it

He tried several other methods, but none of them worked.

Suddenly, he made a move and reached out to grab Simone.

Unable to invoke negative energy or use spells, Sage wanted to rely on the martial arts he had practiced for so many years to kill Simone.

But before he could get close, he was stopped by Bailey.

The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Bailey subdued Sage.

Simone added, “You have to admit it now: you’re getting old.”

This made Sage so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, Sage and his disciples were taken away by the people from the special department.

Simone and Bailey stayed behind and called the masters of the geomancy association to sit near the spiritual space, continuously reciting a purification scripture.

The cracks in the demonic rift were still a big threat, even with the seal.

It had to be purified to ensure safety.

Simone and the others purified the upper portion while the little snake absorbed the lower portion

After many days, the last trace of negative energy in the demonic rift disappeared.

A few months passed, and Jodie secretly returned from abroad.

Then, she went to Reuben’s residence to find him.

As soon as she saw Reuben, she tightly hugged him and constantly flirted with him.

The meaning was clear-she wanted to be with him.

Jodie did this because she had confidence in the curse.

And as long as Reuben touched her, she could use the curse to gain influence over him.

Now, Reuben and Joanne not only got married but also had a son.

Jodie returned with the intention of using the curse to trap Reuben and prevent him from leaving her.

Her plan was to then mitiate a divorce with Joanne and have Joanne take their illegitimate child away.

Only by doing this could Jodie completely deleat joanne and emerge as the victor.

Although Reuben had only partially lifted the curse, he still felt an instinctive attraction toward Jodie.

Simone had given him a talisman earlier, which he immediately held onto.

As expected, despite the lingering desire to touch Jodie, he forcefully resisted it.

He also dealt a heavy blow to Jodie.

Coincidentally, Joanne had just returned home at that moment.

Upon seeing Jodie embracing her husband, she became furious.

She rushed forward, grabbed Jodie’s hair, and pulled her away,

Just like before, she pinned Jodie to the ground and began to beat her.

Jodie despised Joanne and realized that the curse was not working.

Being beaten by Joanne pushed Jodie to the brink of madness. She pulled out a dagger tied to her calf and stabbed Joanne.

During her time abroad, Jodie had been bullied by many people.

And so, she kept the dagger hidden on her person and would stab anyone who bullied her.

It had become a recent habit, and she forgot to remove the dagger when she came to find Reuben to offer herself.

By the time Reuben reacted and tried to grab Jodie’s dagger, Joanne was already lying in a pool of blood.

In a frenzy, Jodie broke free from Reuben’s grasp and stabbed him multiple times as well.

When the security guards arrived, Reuben also collapsed in a pool of blood.

Both Reuben and Joanne were then taken to the hospital.

Joanne could not be saved and died, while Reuben was left seriously injured.

Two of the stabs had hit his kidneys, which would impact

its future bodily functions.

Meanwhile, Jodie was sent to a specialized prison for intentional murder and cursing Reuben.

She was sentenced to death, and the execution was scheduled for one month later

This outcome came as a surprise to Simone.

She never experted Jodie to be so ruthless and directly attack two people.

As agreed, Simone removed the remaining curse from Reuben.

However, if he didn’t recover well in the second half of his life, it would be equivalent to being emasculated.

Not only that, but the death of their daughter greatly traumatized joanne’s parents.

They not only terminated their cooperation with the Gray Group but also well the company at all costs.

Although the Belle Family did not fare well, the Gray Group also suffered heavy losses as a result.

This incident was caused by Reuben, and the senior management and shareholders of the company unanimously decided to dismiss him.

After this incident, Reuben lost his ambition.

He also lost custody of his son to the Belle Family, making it impossible for him to take his son abroad and leading to a decline in the second half of his life.

In prison, Jodie encountered her biological mother and Melinda, as well as her biological grandfather and great-grandfather.

Her biological father had already passed away.

The four of them took turns beating her, believing that it was her fault for not being able to control Simone, which led to their current situation.

Due to the backlash of the curse and its previous effects. Jodie’s appearance aged every day, driving her to the brink of madness and collapse.

Moreover, her relatives tried various ways to torment her, making her life unbearable.

The person she hated the most was Simone. Instigated by Sage, Jodie requested to see Simone one last time

She was determined to take Simone down with her, even if it meant dying.

However, Simone did not meet her and only sent a message through someone else. ‘You brought this upon yourself and cannot live!

One month later, Jodie was executed, consuined by hatred, fear, and despair.

Upon learning this, Salma happily spent money on fireworks to celebrate.

But her own life didn’t fare well either.

Her sons didn’t care about her and didn’t listen to her.

Her family didn’t recognize her, and even the other family members with whom she had a good relationship turned against her after the family was divided.

Salma lost most of her assets to the other family members and was eventually forced to enter a nursing home to escape,

She spent the rest of her life in the nursing home.

The other four sons didn’t have successful careers either. They relied on their biological father to get by and lived mediocre lives.

None of them got married or had children.

Meanwhile, Simone’s career flourished.

She starred in numerous movies and dramas that became hits, making her a top-tier actress.

Not only did she win Best Actress awards, but she also received international acclaim.

This made the once top-tier actor Aaron feel inferior.

After retiring from the entertainment industry, Simone continued to make films and won so many awards that Andrew envied her to the point of tears.

The only song she created became a hit, making Luca envious to the point of tears.

The studio eventually transformed into a publicly traded company, surpassing Gray Entertainment and becoming one of the three major players in the entertainment industry.

Reuben, who was far away in a foreign country, had mixed feelings about this.

After Simone lifted the curse on Reuben, she never contacted anyone from the Gray Family again.

Even when they reached out to her, she refused.

Throughout her life, Simone never forgave anyone from the Gray Family and lived the latter half of her life happily and content.
