Chapter 367 An Ingenious Move
Mr. Foster immediately knew it when Melinda did the money transfer.
He didn’t even need to look into it to understand what she was up to once again.
He stumbled upon it when he saw the most searched results on Facebook.
He also realized that it was Melinda’s alternate account, which she always used to show off.
Posting such pointless content on Facebook was probably just an attempt to provoke Salma.
What a silly goose.
It looked likely that she wanted the warlock to deal with Salma now that she had transferred money
to the same recipient.
Mr. Foster was at a loss for words.
He felt exhausted. How much longer would he have to deal with that foolish woman? He hadn’t warned
Steven Gray about this for the sake of his reputation.
So, he told his youngest son about it once again.
He asked him to warn the Gray brothers so that Steven would also be aware.
Leon Foster couldn’t help but feel the same after hearing what his father told him.
Why does Mom always cause us so much trouble? Can’t she give us a break? He was surprised to
learn that Melinda had created an alternate account just to show off her wealth all these years.
It was simply unbelievable. It would be beyond embarrassment if people in their social circle found out
about it.
The first person Leon thought of was Simone at that instant.
However, he couldn’t reach Simone’s phone anymore after returning it to the production
team.
He was still blocked.
Then, with a heavy heart, he opened the group chat that Titus Gray had created earlier.
He tagged Simone following that.
“I have some news for you. There’s a good chance that the warlock is targeting Salma now.”

But Simone didn’t reply to him.
Titus was bewildered. “What? A Warlock? Why would they go after my mother?” Titus and Luca were
still abroad. They planned to go sightseeing after the live variety show ended.
Leon replied, “Aaron has the answer. Why don’t you ask him for details? By the way, remind your
mother to be extra careful now.”
“…” Titus was speechless. Why did it have something to do with his mother again? Then, he exited the
group and called Aaron.
Meanwhile, Simone noticed the group chat’s notification sound, and she saw the message from Leon.
What he told her was well within her expectations, though.
Melinda would suspect Salma was the culprit if she had to guess.
And she wouldn’t resist the urge for retaliation.
She might even resort to unconventional methods if other means had failed.
Getting rid of Salma only required more money, after all.
Bailey noticed Simone’s sly smile as she read the message.
He asked, “What have you accomplished this time?” Simone looked back at him and said, “Aren’t you a
curious one, Bailey?” She didn’t know he would care about things like this.
The elegant image of him in her mind suddenly faded away.
But Bailey no longer cared about how Simone perceived him.
He found it exhausting to always maintain a cold demeanor after spending so much time together.
“Wouldn’t life be more interesting if we indulge in gossip every once in a while? Come on, spill the
beans.”
Simone hesitated momentarily and said, “Leon sent a message in the group chat, mentioning that the
warlock might be targeting Salma.”
Bailey immediately raised an eyebrow. “Is this also part of your plan?” Simone nodded. “Yup! Salma
even tried to use my hair to cast a spell on Melinda before.”
“Let’s see how she fares now that she’s being targeted by a warlock.”

“The warlock won’t kill her, given who she is.”
However, things definitely wouldn’t be easy for her once she was affected.
One needed to experience pain firsthand to truly understand it.
Simone had to find a way to let off her steam since Salma tried to use her hair for her benefit.
Now, she decided to let Salma have a taste of it herself.
Bailey couldn’t help but give Simone a thumbs up. “What an ingenious move. You’ve set the trap
perfectly.”
It would spark endless conflicts now that Salma and Melinda had been pitted against each other.
Simone could now watch happily from the sidelines as the mastermind without getting involved.
She showed that one would do well not to cross her through that.
Simone couldn’t help but chuckle. “The internet is going to be full of Gray Family’s affairs in the coming
days.”
Bailey smiled and said, “That’s true.”
Meanwhile, Salma received several phone calls and messages from friends and family in the ward.
She also got wind of the most searched results.
Then, she glared at Aaron before asking, “Did you leak the video?” Aaron also noticed the situation,
and he innocently answered, “No, I didn’t.”
“Could Melinda Carver be behind this? She might have surveillance cameras installed in her room.”
“Why would the person who posted the video blur her face or edit it out otherwise?”
Salma also harbored this suspicion.
So, she had someone investigate that Facebook account.
The investigator came back with an answer before long.
Salma couldn’t hold back her anger after reading the message from her assistant. “That despicable
woman… She must have done it on purpose.”

Unsurprisingly, that Facebook account belonged to Melinda.
Of course, it was Melinda. Who else would do it? She posted the video to defame me. She’s

It wasn’t a smart move to treat her like a friend and request her help now that she thought
about it.
Steven also added with an ugly expression, “Melinda Carver must be out of her mind. She just won’t
give us a break.”
“Titus called Aaron just now, and he said that the warlock might come after
you now.”
“I’ve arranged for our private jet to come. We’ll return to Cebros by the day after tomorrow.”
He was worried that his wife might walk straight into a trap, so he figured it would be better for them to
distance themselves from this predicament.
They would be on their turf if they returned to Cebros.
He could hire a geomancy master from Gray Family to deal with the warlock if he chased after them.
Meanwhile, Salma was shocked. “Is she insane? How dare she post such a misleading video to
defame me?”
Melinda even hired a warlock to deal with her.
Salma was panicked and scared, but she felt even more anger.
“Does she really think I’m a pushover? That’s it. I won’t allow this to go on any longer.”
She asked her son to send her the full video following that.
Then, she forwarded it to her assistant and requested that it be posted online.
She also made sure to manipulate and direct all the criticisms toward Melinda so that she would feel
like it was her against the entire world.
She contacted her own parents and informed them about Melinda’s continuous harm toward her after
that.
Salma needed their help to bring down the Steward Family once and for all.
Besides, she was aware of Melinda’s deep concern for her family as she had been out for any
assistance she could get for the sake of the Steward Family lately. It had her significant stress.

Therefore, Salma was determined to retaliate, starting with her family members, whom she
cared about the most.
