Forgive Us, My Dear Sister (The Miraculous Simone Gray)

Chapter 373 She Will Be the One to Expose It Now

After an unknown period, Jodie came out of the room.

Her hair, which initially turned gray, had returned to its jet-black color, and her skin had regained its fair

complexion.

The wrinkles around her eyes disappeared, and the freckles on her hands vanished.

She

got rid of her previous despair and wore an even brighter smile on her face.

Meanwhile, inside the room, the old man appeared even older and more exhausted.

I should have chosen Tina instead of Jodie in the first place, but that stubborn girl grew rebellious.

Moreover, she always has her own principles. That doesn’t align with my requirements.

In fact, she behaves nothing like my offspring.

Hmph! Tina will face the same consequences as Jane once she becomes worthless.

Shortly after, he drew a talisman and pasted it on Jane’s back before concealing it with clothes.

Next, he carved a wooden puppet that resembled her.

Then, he took strands of her hair and drops of her blood. He bound them onto the and cast a

substitution spell.

After a while, Jane walked out with a somewhat vacant look in her eyes.

“Send her back and make sure no one notices,” the old man commanded.

Upon receiving the order, the man outside nodded and replied, “Yes, Sir.”

Then, he escorted Jane away.

On the other side, Simone arrived at Cebros Airport.

Zac came to pick her up in his car.

After spotting Simone’s figure, he walked over to assist her with her luggage.

Upon noticing that her complexion was somewhat oddly pale, he couldn’t help but express his concern.

“Simone, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? You don’t look too good.”

Simone felt warmth in her heart, for it had been a long time since someone cared about her

like this.

Zac can tell something is amiss just by looking at my complexion.

Hence, she flashed him a smile and replied, “I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m not feeling great today.

I just need to go home and get some rest.”

That old brute is indeed mighty.

His previous attack had also injured me a little.

Zac nodded. “Alright. I’ll take you home.”

Once they arrived at the apartment where Simone lived, Zac handed her a wrapped box from the

backseat.

“I heard that the president and vice president of the geomancy association are interested in items like

these and secretly collect them. I happened to come across one, and I thought you might need it. So, I

brought it for you.”

Simone didn’t refuse his kindness and accepted the box.

“Thank you. That’s very thoughtful of you.”

She planned to open it and see what it contained after she got inside her place.

With concern written all over his eyes, Zac said, “Rest well when you get back, and we’ll stay

in touch.”

“Okay!” Simone nodded, exited the car, and returned to her apartment.

As Gwen had gone on a vacation trip, she wasn’t home.

Simone took a shower first before opening the package.

Inside the package was an exquisite wooden box

Then, she opened the wooden box and discovered a palm-sized green stone inside.

She was a little surprised when she saw this stone.

As she reached out to pick it up, a wave of energy emanated from it.

It’s actually an essence stone. This is a rare find. It can only be formed in the lode, and the chances are

extremely slim. Geomancy and mystical arts practitioners can use it to cultivate and enhance their

cultivation power. Moreover, with this essence stone, I can break into the Divine State today.

Thinking of this, Simone wasted no time.

She left a message for her acquaintances, stating that she would be in seclusion for two days.

Then, she returned to her room, set up a protective circle, and began absorbing the energy from the

essence stone.

Since her insight had reached the Divine State, she was already familiar with the ritual of breaking into

it.

It was just that the elemental energy within her body had been on a plateau.

Currently, as she held the essence stone, waves of abundant elemental energy flowed into her body.

Knowing that the mastermind would definitely cause trouble for her, Simone figured it would be more

secure if she entered the Divine State earlier. That way, her strength would be on par with her

opponent, and she would no longer fear him.

Simone was radiated with vitality all over when she opened her eyes two days later.

Originally, she expected that she would take at least three months to enter the Divine State. But now,

thanks to the essence stone given by Zac, she had entered it ahead of schedule.

That old brute will probably be pissed if he finds out.

He doesn’t wish for me to advance. Or else, he will definitely send someone to interfere and sabotage.

After successfully advancing, she turned on her phone.

Then, she discovered several missed calls and messages.

Seeing that June had called her continuously, she guessed that something urgent must have

happened.

Thus, she called back.

Soon, someone answered on the other end. “Simone, have you seen Jane’s news?”

Puzzled, Simone asked, “I haven’t been online for the past two days. What happened to her?”

June replied, “She committed suicide by poisoning herself last night at her place of residence.”

Simone was stunned for a moment. “Committed suicide by poisoning herself? That’s unlikely, right?”

Jane still wanted to live even when she had been living in agony every day after enduring the backlash

from the venom she had poisoned herself.

So, how can she possibly commit suicide now?

With that, June echoed, “My thoughts exactly. I, too, think committing suicide doesn’t seem to be her

nature. Jebediah had sent me photos of her corpse when the members of the Fordson Family went to

collect her body. She looked much older. According to the autopsy report, her condition was caused by

poison. Regardless, it feels strange to me. So, I wanted to remind you to be careful of the mastermind

behind her.”

Simone knew that she hadn’t helped June in vain as she listened to her tone, which was filled with

genuine concern for her.

“I will be cautious. Send me the photos to see,” she said.

June replied, “Sure.”

“Why would Jebediah send you photos like this? Simone asked.

June elaborated sarcastically, “The members of the Fordson Family discovered that Jane lost her stone

gambling expertise. And after she became unlucky, they gave up on her. Now, they want to win me

back and continue using me. But I can’t be bothered with them, let alone forgive them.”

As Simone could empathize with her, she hummed, “Follow your heart. Don’t be afraid of moral

coercion. If the Fordson Family dares to cause trouble, you still have me as your backer.”

Upon hearing that, June felt a sense of warmth inside. A warm smile appeared on her face as she said,

“Yeah, I feel at ease with you by my side.”

The most fortunate thing that has ever happened in my life is to have met someone as good as

Simone.

After ending the call, Simone opened the message and looked at the photos sent by June.

Sure enough, Jane appeared much older in the photos, resembling an elderly woman.

June was right. Her condition doesn’t appear to be a result of poisoning.

Rather, it seems like her life force and luck had been drained away.

No doubt, the culprit behind this is that old brute.

He sure is heartless. No matter what, Jane is his offspring.

Yet, she ends up in such a state.

O

Then, Simone examined the photos and pondered momentarily.

I have a suspicion.

These so-called children are most likely “food” nurtured by the old brute.

Once they have lost their usefulness, their lives and luck will also be forfeited.

Either way, such a course of action is excessively malicious and ruthless.

How does none of the higher-ups in the geomancy association take notice all this time? Also, how

about the personnel in the special department? Do they not detect any clues? Simone squinted her

eyes. Disregarding whether they’re oblivious or choose to turn a blind eye, I will be the one to expose

this now.

At once, she dialed Sean’s number-the one she had jotted down while she was abroad.
