Chapter 215
The Heiress’ Return & Revenge
Chapter 215 Inescapable
Upon witnessing Tinaâs actions, Simone deduced that she had something important to convey.
Therefore, she accepted the paper and read through its contents.
âMy phone has been bugged, so I canât directly disclose it. They want to cause trouble in the variety
showâs final episode. They intend for Jodie to recover and continue participating, so they will find a way
to postpone the livestream for another month.
Simone nodded in understanding.
With a pen in hand, she wrote on the paper. âSeeing how they insist on having Jodie participate, are
they coming after me?â
After seeing her reply. Tina responded, âYes. There is a deep connection between you and Jodie, so
starting with Jodie is the most direct and effective approach if they want to hurt. you. I have been
cursed, so I cannot speak or write about top-secret matters. But I believe that you should be able to
figure it out once you find some information. They will probably lead the production team to Cubilis in
the variety showâs next episode. Be careful!â
Considering that she had visited Cubilis several times with her mentor, Simone was no stranger to that
place.
Cubilis is a city that preserves the appearance of an ancient fortress.
The entire city lacks modern buildings. Cars are prohibited from entering, and the means of
transportation are limited to horse-drawn carriages and ox-wagons.
Things such as antiques and geomancy are especially prevalent.
There must be a reason for the person coming after me to choose Cubilis as the next filming site.
Simone inquired, âAre you still planning to go?â
Tina answered, âI will go too unless something unexpected occurs. Itâs inescapable for me either, so I
might as well attempt to break free from the so-called predetermined arrangements.
This was also why she didnât propose that Simone refrain from participating in the variety showâs next
episode or attempt to change the location.
Tina figured there would undoubtedly be a subsequent scheme even if they managed to escape this
time. Hence, it was better to be aware of potential issues and be prepared in advance.
Simone nodded in agreement. Youâre right. Since itâs inescapable, letâs take a riskâ
111
Well, I am no different.
The ending of my previous life seemed to have been predetermined long ago.
It was inescapable.
So, I have to enter the game first and then strive to break free and alter the situation if I want to
continue living and take control of my own destiny this time.
Of course, I will seek all the necessary revenge as well.
Now that I learn they will head to Cubilis to film the variety showâs next episode, I can be more
prepared.
âThank you for informing me!â Simone wrote, expressing her gratitude.
With that, Tina replied, âYouâre welcome. Iâm also involved in this game. You are the key and the last
hope for breaking the game, so I want to cooperate with you.ââ
Then, she added, âOf course, Iâm not pretending when I said Iâm your fan.ââ
Tina was being truthful. She genuinely admired Simoneâs bold and decisive personality.
She felt satisfied to witness how Simone frankly rejected her former loved ones, treated them as she
pleased, left them speechless with her retaliation, and even openly and boldly. eliminated each of them.
Compared to Simone, Tina was much more timid and could only be led by the nose and manipulated
by others.
If she wanted to resist, she could only do so secretly. Otherwise, the people she cared about would
suffer.
She began watching Simone from the first episode of the live variety show and discovered. that Simone
was someone she aspired to become but couldnât.
For that reason, besides envy, her fondness for Simone grew stronger.
Unconsciously, she became Simoneâs devoted fan.
Simone smiled. âThank you for your support!â She appreciated and cherished the support of all her
fans, for she knew aside from the company, the managing team, and her capability, fans were the most
crucial factor in ensuring a celebrity progressed further.
Only with the support of these lovely fans could she rise higher and higher.
Upon returning to Corynthea this time, she also planned on throwing a special event to

express her gratitude toward her fans.
Tina: âWhat would you like to ask me? I will tell you everything I can.
With that, Simone pondered for a moment before writing down. âIs your biological father the same as
your current Dadâ Tina should understand my question.
Tina shook her head. âNo. Jodie Gray and I are the illegitimate children my Mom had with another manâ
Curious, Simone asked again, âIs Ernest, your eldest brother, not your dadâs biological child too?â
Tina replied, âHeâs also an illegitimate child.
Simone: âHave you ever met your biological father?â
Tina: âI havenât met him, but I suspect he is the man my Mom often mentions, who has been very kind
to us. I am getting controlled to carry out my tasks through phone calls and letters. I know a little secret,
but I canât speak or write about it due to a curse.â
After reading what Tina wrote, Simone was somewhat taken aback. She didnât expect Tina, Jodie, and
Ernestâs biological father to be so mysterious that none of them had seen him before.
As for being unable to speak or write due to a curse, that wasnât surprising to her.
I am aware that such curses exist.
It is the most effective when the curse is cast since birth. Likewise, it is the most difficult to break as it
requires numerous conditions.
If the curse is cast when one is older, breaking it will be much simpler.
Based on Tina and the othersâ situation, it seems that their biological father had cursed them at birth.
Moreover, he could prevent them from developing rebellious thoughts and revealing those secrets by
doing so.
Still, this curse is a witchcraft banned by the special department and the geomancy association.
Itâs no wonder I saw Ernest exude a sense of confidence despite being captured that day.
So, it turns out that he has been cursed with this forbidden witchcraft. Unless it is broken, not even the
people from the special department can force him to speak
Simone asked, âDoes Jodie know?â

Tina replied, âThat idiot doesnât even know sheâs an illegitimate child, so how would she know about
these things? Ernest exerts all the control over her
Because of that, Tina was enraged when she saw Jodie treating their father with contempt. and
disdain.
Simone also shared this sentiment. True. Although Jodie is pretty scheming, she is still foolish
compared to Skyler and Tina.
Moreover, sheâs oblivious to the fact that sheâs foolish.
Once again, Simone asked, âYou didnât learn geomancy or mystical arts?â
Tina responded, âNo. Neither Jodie nor I can learn them. The curse that weâre under includes. denying
us the chance to learn such knowledge, and we will receive its backlash if we refuse to believe and
secretly attempt to learn. We are merely tools created by that man to achieve his goals!
When Simone saw this, she was slightly puzzled.
How did Skyler and Ernest master this knowledge if they were cursed and unable to learn it? Thus, she
inquired, âBut isnât Ernest highly skilled in geomancy and mystical arts?â
As for Skyler, Simone didnât mention him proactively because she wasnât sure if Tina was aware that he
was her brother or if Skyler could become an ally or a hidden enemy.
Tina: âThatâs because heâs a son. The curse only targets daughters. I suppose itâs because the reason
we were born and the tasks we were created for and controlled to perform are different from theirs. Iâm
not entirely sure about the details.
Only then did Simone understand.
I see⦠So, daughters arenât allowed to learn geomancy and mystical arts. This explains why Freya
isnât knowledgeable about it either.
The people behind the scenes kept us in the dark about them.
Simone asked, âApart from the three of you, do you know if you have any other siblings?â
Tina replied, âI can roughly guess that there are many âchildrenâ like us, but I donât know who they are.
We havenât had any contact with those people either. The only ones I know are the three of us. By the
way, there should be other individuals entering the entertainment. industry other than me and Jodie. I
feel like they really need the luck derived from the strength of faith. After all, as a celebrity working in
the entertainment industry, our luck will also improve when more and more people become fond of us,
our careers flourish, and our popularity continuously soars
âEven so, I believe the masterminds who assist us and grant us so much luck must have hidden
motives. Thereâs no such thing as a free lunch. The stronger our luck becomes, the more
advantageous it is for them. Somehow, I have a feeling that they are raising us like pigs. Once we
become sufficiently plump, that will be time for us to get slaughtered.
