Chapter 246 A Surprising Encounter
When Simone and Zac arrived at the airport, Julian and Tommy were already there.
Standing next to Tommy was an elegantly dressed woman.
Simone observed their behavior and deduced that she must be Tommy’s wife.
She also sensed a malicious aura coming from the woman.
Upon seeing Simone, the three of them greeted her with smiles.
Tommy introduced his wife, saying, “This is Master Gray, whom I mentioned to you.”
He then turned to Simone and said, “And this is my wife, Lara Simmers.”
Lara greeted Simone with gratitude and enthusiasm, saying, “Master Gray, hello!” She expressed her
gratitude towards Simone for resolving the situation and preventing her husband’s younger brother
from getting into trouble.
She feared that her husband would feel guilty and distant from her.
After all, it was she who had been deceived by Jane and dragged him to the auction house.
She had a good relationship with Felix, her little brother-in-law, and she didn’t want anything bad to
happen to him.
So, she was very grateful to Simone for resolving the situation.
Simone greeted her with a smile, saying, “Hello, Mrs. Reich!” Lara wanted to establish a closer
relationship with Simone.
She suggested, “Calling me Mrs. Reich feels too formal. How about calling me Lara?”
Simone looked at Lara and sensed that she had done many good deeds and was not a bad
person
She appeared gentle, but in reality, she had a fiery temper
She was easily influenced or deceived by others, leading her to do impulsive things
That’s why she had become a malicious person
Simone smiled and said. “Sure Lara, you can also call me Simone
“That’s great
Lara walked over to Simone and started chatting with her.
Since Tommy’s secretary booked the plane tickets, they were all traveling together.
They entered the VIP lounge and took their seats. After a while, a few people walked in.
Simone glanced over.
The leader was a man in his thirties, who appeared decent but had a superficial air about him.
It was evident that he was the playboy type.
He was accompanied by a young woman who was quite beautiful and carried herself with a
professional demeanor.
She had a gentle smile, but Simone could tell from her expression that she was not easy to get along
with.
Most importantly, Simone could see from her appearance that this woman was Jodie’s half-
sister.
Without asking, it was obvious that the person who had arrived was the fake heiress of the Fordson
Family, Jane.
Simone thought to herself that this fake heiress was indeed suspicious.
Her attention then shifted to the young woman who was following behind them, a woman who didn’t
attract much attention.
She wore black-framed glasses and had shoulder-length hair that covered most of her face.
The woman was dressed plainly and didn’t stand out.
But upon closer inspection, Simone noticed that her features were delicate, and with a little grooming,
she would be much prettier than the previous Jane.
Based on her appearance, June Fordson, the real lady of the Fordson Family, was not a weak and
timid person.
So, her current soft and unnoticeable demeanor must be an act.
In theory, someone with her personality would rebel against the Fordson Family and Jane.
But Simone detected a similar aura between Jane and June.
She examined them closely and discovered that their fortunes were actually connected.
The key was that June willingly turned herself into a vessel to provide fortune for Jane.
This surprised and puzzled Simone.
While Simone was observing the three of them, the others also noticed their
presence.
The leader, Jebediah, the current heir of the talisman family, raised an eyebrow when he saw Tommy
and the others and said, “Hello, brother-in-law. It seems we are on the same flight. What a
coincidence.”
Tommy smiled faintly and replied, “Indeed, quite a coincidence.”
Due to Julian’s business, they had arrived two days early.
He couldn’t believe that such a coincidence could occur.
Jane looked at Tommy and the others, surprise evident on her face.
She greeted Tommy and Lara with a smile, saying, “Brother-in-law, sister-in-law!” Then, something
shocking happened.
Lara suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Jane’s hair, and slapped her several times.
“You deceitful woman! I have always taken care of you, and this is how you repay me? You tricked my
husband into buying that cursed item.
“What have I done to deserve this? You actually wanted to harm my husband.”
Everyone was taken aback by Lara’s sudden outburst.
Jebediah Fordson quickly went to restrain Lara and said, “Sister-in-law, let’s talk it out. You can’t just hit
someone like that.” He knew that his sister-in-law appeared gentle, but she had the most violent
temper.
And she had been practicing martial arts since she was young, so he couldn’t overpower her.
Jane wanted to resist, but she couldn’t break free from Lara’s grip. She could only exclaim, “Ah! Sister-
in-law, what are you saying? I don’t understand.” “How could I possibly want to harm my brother-in-
law?”
She now despised Lara with all her heart.
This woman had slapped her in front of everyone.
Where could she hide her face now? At the same time, she was shocked that Lara also knew about the
jade hairpin.
It seemed that Tommy had informed Lara.
In her cousin’s eyes, no one and nothing could compare to her husband, Tommy,
No wonder Lara wanted to hit her as soon as she saw Jane.
Lara didn’t listen and continued tearing at the talisman silk and hitting her, saying, “Do you think I’m
stupid? That day, you kept calling and asked us to go to your auction company.
“If you didn’t know there was a problem with the jade hairpin, would you have encouraged my husband
to buy it?” “If it’s so valuable, why don’t you use it yourself? Or give it to your beloved brother.
“I was blind before, thinking you were a good person.
“Now it’s clear that you are treacherous and wicked.”
After hearing about the incident from Tommy, Lara had wanted to confront Jane and vent her anger.
Unfortunately, Jane was not around, so she had been accumulating her anger until now.
She couldn’t let go of her anger without hitting the other person.
Jane, of course, would not admit it, “I didn’t do it, cousin, I really didn’t.”
Upon receiving news that Felix had taken the jade finger ring to wear, she knew there would be trouble.
Little did she know that not only did Felix survive, but he was also saved by the master.
Knowing Lara’s temperament, she was certain that if she discovered any issues with the finger ring,
she would come looking for trouble.
Therefore, she decided to hide.
In the past few days, the other party did not reach out to her proactively. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She assumed that Tommy hadn’t informed Lara.
So, when she found out that Tommy and the others had booked today’s flight and brought the
geomancy master, she encouraged Jebediah to do the same.
She wanted to witness for herself who this geomancy master was that would ruin her plant
She had to find a way to retaliate
To her surprise, as soon as she entered, Lara started tearing into her and hitting her.
This woman was completely insane.
Jebediah couldn’t hold Lara back, so she turned to Tommy and pleaded, “Brother-in-law, please help
me restrain my sister.”
However, Tommy responded, “My younger brother almost died because of your sister. It’s only fair for
my wife to vent her anger, isn’t it?” He had no fear of the Fordson Family or Jane, and he had no
intention of pretending to be friendly with them during this public event.
Breaking ties in advance would be beneficial, as it would establish a reputation for dealing with the
Fordson Family in the future when they fought for the jadeite.
This was a decision they had made as a couple beforehand.
Of course, his wife’s anger was genuine.
She had a fiery temper, and he took her feelings seriously.
Having almost been deceived and killed by her cousin, she naturally wouldn’t let it go.
If she didn’t release this anger, she would continue to feel uncomfortable.
So, he simply wanted to say, ‘Well done with the beating. How could I possibly help?’
