The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Previously, Sean had saved Simone’s number in his contact list.

He was surprised to receive her call. Still, he picked it up. “Simone?”

“Yes,” Simone replied.

“Mr. Stanley, are you available now? I need to discuss something important with you.”

Sean smiled and said, “I’m free. Go ahead.”

Considering his superior valued Simone, he would make time for her, even if he was busy.

Simone asked directly, “Have you heard about Jane’s suicide?”

Sean was puzzled. “Jane’s suicide? The special department doesn’t handle cases like this, so I’m not too sure.”

“In that case, I want to file a report,” Simone stated. “An employee in my studio used to be connected to Jane. She showed me the photos of Jane’s death, and I noticed that it couldn’t have been a suicide. It seems like someone drained her luck and life force. So, I want you to investigate and find out what exactly happened.”

At once, Sean’s smiling face turned slightly serious. “Her life force and luck had been drained away? Are you certain?” This does fall within our scope of investigation and management, though.

“I’m sure,” Simone said with certainty. “Although the autopsy report stated that her aging was caused by poisoning, according to my judgment as a geomancer, I can tell it was the work of an evil cultivator. Normally, the special department will investigate if a person appears in such a state after a suicide. But this time, there has been no action.”

Then, she added meaningfully, “Could it be that someone within the special department is colluding with the evil cultivator?” Jane’s appearance after her suicide seems abnormal.

Under normal circumstances, it should have caught the attention of the personnel responsible for this sector in the special department.

Yet, it didn’t.

According to June, they allowed the Fordson Family to take Jane’s body back for burial after the autopsy report was released, and her death was determined as not a homicide.

Since her body has yet to be cremated, there is still time for the special department to intervene and investigate.

That’s why I call Sean on purpose.
