The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Salma took a deep breath when she noticed the hair on Simone’s shoulder.

Suppressing her last bit of hesitation, she reached out and lightly patted Simone’s shoulder as if she were brushing off some dust.

Then she quickly grabbed the strand of hair and held it in her hand.

Upon seeing Simone’s gaze, Salma felt a twinge of guilt and said, “I noticed some dust on your clothes, so I thought I’d help you brush it off.”

Simone looked at Salma with a cold stare.

“Is that so? Then why did you take my hair?”

She grabbed Salma’s hand as she was about to retract it and took the hair back.

When Salma looked at her shoulder with a conflicted expression, Simone realized that something was amiss.

She also noticed the hair on her shoulder.

It wasn’t actually her hair; someone had accidentally brushed it onto her clothes earlier.

But she couldn’t let Salma take it away and potentially harm someone else.

As a geomancer, Simone attached great importance to her hair and blood.

She couldn’t let them remain on her clothes and be taken away by someone.

The reason Simone didn’t stop her initially was to see if Salma would choose to take it.

In the end, Salma did, which surprised Simone but also seemed expected.

Salma was caught off guard and suddenly felt a bit panicked.

She didn’t expect Simone to be so perceptive and notice her small actions.

She awkwardly smiled and said, “I noticed some hair on your clothes, so I wanted to pick it up and throw it away for you.”

Simone looked at her firmly and said, “If you look in the mirror now, you’ll see that your eyes and face betray a sense of guilt, Melinda asked you to take it, didn’t she?”
