The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 108 This Is Getting Interesting

Steven listened to the loud beep coming from his phone. For a moment, he didn’t know how to feel. This was the first time someone had dared to hang up on him before he finished speaking. And it was his own daughter.

Naturally, Steven wouldn’t react like Aaron and Titus, who would call back after Simone hung up on them. He was too embarrassed to do that

It wasn’t just the fact that Simone had hung up on him but also how resolute Simone seemed with her words. She wasn’t just acting on impulse; she truly didn’t want them as her family anymore. From what he could recall, Simone cared a lot about their family since she returned home.

Although she didn’t grovel to please anyone, she still cared about everyone at home. She didn’t do it in a superficial way. Instead, she did it through her actions.

Steven was busy and didn’t spend much time with his daughter, but every now and then, she would send him detoxification pills and health pills that she made. They were effective, which showed that she put effort into it.

How did it come to this? He sat there for a while, then called his secretary in.

“I want you to investigate the conflicts and relationships between Simone, my wife, my sons, and our adopted daughter. I want you to focus on investigating my adopted daughter. See if she has any contact with the geomancy master worshipped by the Gray Family. Do this in secret. I don’t want a third person to know about this,” Steven ordered.

His wife and sons had always told him that Simone didn’t get along with their adopted daughter after she came back. They claimed that she just wanted to snatch things from their adopted daughter and would often cause trouble. If that were the case, it would suggest that Simone cared a lot about the Gray Family’s wealth and possessions, but looking at the situation then, that didn’t seem like the case.

Simone probably felt like she had been wronged that day. That was probably what pushed her to her limits and forced her into leaving the Gray Family. Presently, it seemed like she didn’t want to acknowledge them or ask for anything from the Gray Family.

Steven believed that things weren’t as simple as his wife and sons described it to be. After she came back, he had planned to include her in the family genealogy, to move her household registration to their home, and to announce her identity publicly.

Then, the master performed a divination for him and told him that it was not yet the time to reveal his daughter’s identity to the public.
