The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 370 Can’t Hold On Much Longer

Titus mentioned Simone in the group chat to inform her about the matter.

Simone could roughly guess Steven’s intentions.

Upon deciding promptly, she made a phone call.

Steven expressed his desire to meet with her.

Simone sought Bailey’s opinion before agreeing

After Bailey agreed, she suggested that Steven come to Bailey’s courtyard an undoubtedly safe place for a conversation in the entire Cubilis.

Without delay, Steven took a horse-drawn carriage straight to the courtyard.

Upon entering, he saw Simone and Bailey sitting and enjoying coffee. He walked over and joined them.

Simone handed him a cup of coffee and asked, “Did you come to discuss the result determined by the geomancy association?”

Steven was stunned; his daughter was becoming more formidable. He hadn’t even mentioned it, yet she already knew.

He nodded. “Yes!” Then, he proceeded to explain what the supervisor had said. He also handed Simone the information the other party had found.

After reading it, Simone sneered, “The person behind the scenes is truly cunning. They had already set up a scapegoat from the beginning.”

What a twist of events! Master Gordon’s wife, once a servant in the Gray Family, was dismissed by Salma for stealing information, only to be involved in a car accident later.

Clearly, this was all planned in advance. The purpose was to shift the blame onto Master Gordon when the incident occurred.

Steven asked, “So Master Gordon is just a scapegoat thrown out by the geomancy association. Is there someone behind him?” He had also suspected this.

Simone nodded. “Yes, Jodie was merely using Master Gordon as a pawn and was arranged to be part

of the Gray Family.”

Steven asked with a serious expression, “What should we do to fight back? I don’t want to be manipulated.”

Having someone causing trouble behind the scenes always made him feel uneasy. Who knew when he would be betrayed again?

Simone pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s join forces and fight back together. I have a feeling that this person can’t hold on much longer.”

In addition to continuously counterattacking and disrupting their plans, they had also discovered and confirmed that this person was definitely hiding within the geomancy association.

“The person behind the scenes in the geomancy association must be a high-ranking figure with real power. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to do so much.”

She suggested, “After you return to Cebros, file a complaint with the special department to express your dissatisfaction with this matter. State that Jodie seems to be out of control and has issues. Request the involvement of the special department in the investigation.”

Steven thought to himself that Simone was truly remarkable; their thoughts were all aligned.

This was something his sons didn’t possess; it was truly a shame.

He nodded and said, “I also share the same opinion. I will file a complaint when I return.”

Simone continued, “Not only should we file a complaint, but if we don’t get a result within a week, we should make a scene. The handling result today will definitely be made public by the

geomancy association.”

The people behind were protecting Jodie, hoping that her luck would naturally improve so she could continue to thrive in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, their goal was to clear Jodie’s name and eliminate any previous stains on her reputation.

It didn’t matter whether netizens believed it or not.

As long as they could clear Jodie’s name, she wouldn’t be considered a low-quality artist. So, she wouldn’t be blacklisted, and she could continue taking on projects.

She continued, “Then you can post a question on Facebook and refuse to accept this result. When the situation becomes more and more intense, and they can’t cover it up anymore, I don’t believe they can still manipulate everything. In that case, at least a few important people under him will have to take the blame. That would be equivalent to cutting off his influence. Once we have severed all his influence, let’s observe how he manages to manipulate things thereafter.”

The opponent had possessed considerable power and remained well-concealed at the same time. They boasted a formidable background.

Given these circumstances, a direct confrontation proved ineffective, necessitating a strategy to wear him down.

The plan was to diminish them to a mere shell, making them more susceptible to handling.

This approach also provided an opportunity to divert their attention and focus.

Simultaneously, she was on the brink of advancing to the Divine State.

Steven harbored strong resentment toward the individuals behind him.

Not only did they seek to steal their family’s luck, but they also sown discord between him and his biological daughter.

The satisfaction eluded him until these matters were resolved.

Furthermore, he was determined to eliminate this looming disaster to prevent future troubles.

Thus, he agreed, saying, “Alright, I will do as you say.”

After spending some time together, Steven instructed Simone to contact him if there was anything and then departed.

In his absence, Simone questioned Bailey, “Bailey, was the person behind him some kind of old master? Everything seemed too well-planned as if it wasn’t his first time orchestrating such schemes.”

Everything has been anticipated; it doesn’t seem like a first offense but more like the actions of an experienced person. If his goal is to absorb luck and convert it into longevity, then continuous scheming and ongoing actions are necessary. Otherwise, even if luck from the Gray Family and the other families involved in the scheme is absorbed and transformed into longevity, it would only extend life by a few decades.

Bailey, with a light smile, refilled her coffee and remarked, “Smart people should drink more coffee.”

Simone immediately understood and agreed. Upon her return to the inn, she promptly called Steven, pressing for a discreet investigation into high-ranking members of the geomancy association who seemed to have aged suddenly. If there were such individuals, he was to take note and inform her.

Additionally, she directed Steven to delve into the history of the past century. She wanted to know if there were any once-prominent families that had experienced a decline in luck, with misfortune befalling every member of the family.

Steven naturally wouldn’t object.
