The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 252 She Must Return It

Simone and the other two individuals stepped out of the car, and Julian retrieved a bag from

the trunk.

They ventured into the woods, where the signal from the person they were tracking had disappeared.

Julian opened the bag and said, “Here are the clothes he wore during training, the notebooks he wrote

in, and some photos.”

Simone had already seen the photos.

On the day when Julian asked for her help, she contacted him after returning home.

She requested that he find a photo first and show it to her for physiognomy.

This way, they could determine if the person was still alive.

If he was alive, they needed to save him quickly and not waste any time.

Unfortunately, the result was regrettable. The person had indeed sacrificed himself half a month ago.

Because they needed to find the remains and Julian was being watched during those days, they waited

until now to come.

Simone took out three ancient coins and rolled them on the photos.

Then she picked up the clothes and notebooks that the person had used and infused their aura into the

ancient coins.

She held the ancient coins in her hands, covered them with her palms, and recited a spell in

front of her mouth.

Then, she threw the ancient coins on the ground and examined the hexagram.

This was not the kind of divination used for fortune-telling, so they didn’t need to throw the coins three

times like in fortune-telling.

She picked up the ancient coins and said, “We should go in the southeast direction!” and took

the lead.

Julian packed up their belongings and followed Simone and Zac

Along the way, Simone threw the coins five times and followed the directions indicated by

the hexagram.

Finally, they arrived at a high mountain and discovered a hidden cave covered by grass.

They pushed aside the grass and entered the cave.

Julian retrieved a flashlight from his backpack.

Then he examined the ground and said, “There are footprints, and it’s not just one person. There are

also dried bloodstains.”

Simone also noticed, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

As they ventured deeper into the cave, the three of them came across a corpse.

This cave was concealed among the mountains, and the entrance was not very large.

It was also covered by tall grass outside, resulting in poor air circulation and low temperature.

Due to these unique conditions, the body had not decomposed yet and appeared as if it had only died

a few days ago.

Julian’s eyes welled up with tears. “It’s him.”

Julian approached and carefully picked up the body.

After searching, they found nothing.

And they could see signs of digging around, indicating that someone else had also discovered this

place.

After learning of their comrade’s death, they too wanted to find something.

After they exited the cave, the lighting significantly improved.

Julian expressed his gratitude to Simone, saying, “I really appreciate your help this time.”

Otherwise, his comrade’s body would have turned into bones in this remote location, unable to be

properly buried.

He also couldn’t help but marvel at Simone’s strong geomancy and mystical arts abilities.

They had previously sought the help of geomancy masters, but all attempts had failed.

This time, he had only tried as a last resort, but surprisingly, it worked.

Simone shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”

Then, her gaze fell upon the body Julian was holding.

She asked, “There were traces of someone searching for something in the cave before. Did he have

something important on him?”

“It’s very likely that he had obtained the item we were searching for during our previous

mission.”

Julian sighed, “But it seems like someone might have taken it beforehand.”

He had also searched earlier but found nothing.

However, Simone said, “No, it’s still on him.”

Julian looked at her in surprise, “On him? I just searched and didn’t find anything!” Simone replied, “Put

him down.”

“Open the bandage on his left arm where he was injured.”

Julian did as she said. The bandage had actually been opened and examined before, so it was loosely

tied.

He had even touched it earlier but didn’t feel anything protruding.

He opened it and removed the bandage, but apart from bloodstains, there was nothing on

the surface.

Simone pointed to the wound on the body’s arm and said, “Use a knife to cut it open. The item should

be hidden inside the flesh.”

Julian hesitated for a moment, then followed her instructions.

After cutting it open, he carefully reached in and felt around.

Then he pulled out a small memory card.

Julian was stunned, “It really was here”

His eyes welled up with tears.

One could imagine that his comrade must have intentionally cut open his own anim

Then he hid the memory card deep inside the flesh which must have been in redibly painful

So when Julian searched from the outside he didn’t had anything unusual

Simone and Zac also realized this, and both of them felt a deep admiration.

“Take him back for a proper burial. His ashes should be placed in the Martyrs’ Cemetery.”

There must be highly important information on this memory card.

When this soldier sacrificed himself, he also found a way to preserve the information, which was

impressive and deserving of respect.

Julian nodded, “I will bring him home today.”

He carefully stored the memory card and then carried the body away.

In his heart, he thought about how, thanks to Simone’s help, he was able to successfully bring back his

comrade’s body and such crucial information.

So, he would report this matter to his superiors and credit Simone for her contribution.

While on the mountain, Julian had contacted his superiors.

Therefore, when they arrived near the car, a helicopter landed not far

away.

Julian asked Zac to drive Simone back and took the helicopter directly back to Callington.

Obviously, the memory card in his hand was very important.

Simone and Zac drove back to the hotel.

By the time they arrived at the hotel, it was already evening.

Just as they entered the lobby, they saw Jane and a few others coming out.

Simone found Jane quite amusing, even booking the same hotel as Tommy and the others.

What did they want to do? She absolutely didn’t believe that this was a coincidence or that Jane

wouldn’t cause any

trouble.

What made Simone wary was that Jane actually took the initiative to greet her

Jane glanced at Simone and asked, “Miss Simone, did you come here with Mr Turner as a geomancy

master? Simone replied, “Yes, is there a problem?” Jane sined and said. ‘Thave high expectations for

your geomancy abilities, so I would like to hire you to assist our family

Simone raised an eyebrow. Havent you heard the saying one cannot serve two masters” Since I have

accepted Mr. Turner’s offer. I naturally cannot switch sides

Jane chuckled. But I have also heard that money can sway anyone, and the highest bidder

prevails. I will pay you double the amount. How about that?”

Simone sneered, “Do I appear to be someone who needs your money?” This phony heiress clearly

didn’t genuinely want to hire her; she was just pretending to throw money around.

Jane frowned and suddenly reached out to grab Simone’s arm, saying unhappily, “You really

have no manners.”

Simone now understood what the other party was trying to do.

“Yes, I admit that I lack manners.”

She extended her other hand and firmly grasped Jane’s hand that was holding her arm. “So please,

Miss Fordson, show some self-restraint.”

Simultaneously, she shook off Jane’s hand.

“And also, don’t touch me. I don’t appreciate it.”

Jane wasn’t surprised by Simone’s action of shaking off her hand; it was a normal reaction.

However, the words Simone uttered disgusted her.

Is she saying I’m attracted to women and want to take advantage of the situation? Her expression

turned cold, “I just wanted to test your mettle; I don’t appreciate it either.”

Simone raised an eyebrow and said suggestively, “My resilience is naturally much stronger than yours.”

Jane exchanged a meaningful glance with Simone, “Is that so? Then let’s see who is more

resilient.”

She had achieved her objective and didn’t want to waste any more time with Simone

Simone agreed, “I believe so, too. Let’s wait and see.”

She wasn’t someone who could be easily taken advantage of It Jane made a move on her, she would

definitely fight back
