The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 140 A Cunning Plan

After returning to the apartment, Gwen shared her conversation with her father with

Simone.

Simone wasn’t surprised. She had already noticed that Adam wasn’t as infatuated as he seemed

It turned out that he had discovered the problem and had been pretending all along.

Simone had suspected this before. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for him to have connections with the major influential families.

Gwen asked, “Simone, do you think my mother was also cursed by that womanizer?” Otherwise, how could she do something so foolish?

Simone replied honestly, “I’ve only met your mother once before, but I didn’t notice any signs of a curse.”

“Your father might not be genuinely infatuated, but your mother might be.

Gwen sighed. “I knew it. I always thought she wasn’t very smart, so it’s not surprising that she was fooled by that womanizer. I wonder if you can remove the curse from my father.”

Simone responded, “Once my abilities improve further, I should be able to help him remove the curse. Even if we can do it now, we shouldn’t. It would alert the enemy. Your father has endured for over 20 years. We shouldn’t undermine his previous efforts.”

Gwen nodded. “You’re right.” She then asked, “Do you think Harold knows about all this?” Simone thought for a moment. “Judging by his demeanor, he might have some knowledge.” Harold was more cunning and scheming than Leon and the other se mbags.

“I don’t think he kept Freya by his side just because she is his stepmother’s daughter.”

Gwen asked, “Should we join forces with him and work together to break the situation? Since the person behind the scenes is targeting us, wouldn’t it be better if the Gray Family and the Jenner Family united to fight together?”

Simone replied, “It’s not the right time yet. Let’s arrange a private meeting with Harold another day and test his reaction. Don’t mention your father’s situation. Just tell him that we discovered Jodie and Freya are half–sisters.”

Harold was astute, and he was a thorn in the eyes of his biological father and stepmother. He could be a potential ally
