Chapter 369 Dissatisfaction
The Heiress’ Return & Revenge
As expected, Steven was displeased with the outcome when he heard it from the geomancy
association.
He questioned, âSo, Master Gordon has become powerful enough to manipulate and control people? If
thatâs the case, why didnât he directly control my son and me to take away our fortune? Wouldnât that
have been more convenient?â
The person in charge responded, âHe is not that powerful. But he used a type of flower that can
manipulate the mind. It only works on individuals with weak willpower. If he targeted you, it wonât work.â
Steven didnât believe it at all. He had suspected for a long time that Master Gordon and Jodie had
colluded.
It definitely wasnât a relationship of manipulation and control. âWhy would Master Gordon treat us like
this? Is it just to take away our fortune?â He questioned again, âThere are many people with better
fortune than my sons, so why is he targeting our family? It doesnât make sense.â
The,person in charge explained, âWe discovered that Master Gordon holds a grudge against your
family, which is why he did this. In those years, it was also because of this grudge that he deliberately
calculated to have Jodie enter your family.â
Steven was stunned. âHe has a grudge against our family? What a grudge?â He had no idea. about
this.
The supervisor said, âMore than twenty years wife worked as a maid in your family. But due to certain
circumstances, she was scolded and dismissed by your wife. After leaving, she suffered a mental
breakdown and died in a car accident. She was pregnant at the time, so it was a double tragedy. As a
result, he believes that it was your wifeâs fault and has held a grudge against your family. Not only did
he find a way to become the geomancy master of the Gray Group, but he also arranged for Jodie, who
bears a striking resemblance to your biological daughter, to become your adopted daughter. It was all
part of his plan. He wanted to control and manipulate Jodie to take away the fortune of your entire
family. To make all of you miserable, that would be his revenge.â
After speaking, he handed Steven a document that they had found. âYou can take a look at this. If you
still donât believe it, you can investigate it yourselves.â
Steven took the document and examined it.
When he saw a photo of Master Gordonâs wife, he indeed recognized her.
He mainly remembered her because she had entered his study and was searching for something.
His wife happened to discover her and suspected that she was attempting to steal business. secrets.
So, she scolded her and dismissed her.
He later investigated this woman to see if she was a business spy planted by his family. But he didnât
find anything, so he didnât pursue it further.
So, all of this was triggered because of this woman?
But he felt that something wasnât right; it couldnât be that simple.
He pondered for a moment and asked, âIf Master Gordon can become the revered geomancy master in
our group, then his own abilities should not be weak, and he shouldnât be lacking
So why would his wife come to work as a maid in our house? It doesnât make
in money. sense!â
The supervisor knew that he would question this.
He presented another document, âHer younger brother used to be the manager of your opponentâs
company. So, he asked his sister to steal business information from you. Because she wasnât a
professional, your wife discovered it. The main reason why Master Gordon holds a grudge against your
family is that he believes you were responsible for his wifeâs death. Logically speaking, it was his wifeâs
fault, and the car accident was not caused by your arrangement. But he became consumed by
madness and only sought revenge. Thatâs why he set up so many traps and committed so many
wrongdoings.â
This explanation left Steven with no room for argument.
This personâs point was that Master Gordon himself had issues, which led to all of these troubles.
And it was all because of his wife.
He furrowed his brow and asked, âHow do you plan to handle this?â
The supervisor replied, âMaster Gordon will be expelled from the geomancy association, and his
geomancy certification will be revoked. In the future, he will not be allowed to engage in this profession
again. After that, we will hand him over to the special department for processing. He will enter a special
prison for punishment. However, he hasnât had the chance to inflict the most substantial harm on your
family yet. But due to the severe circumstances, he should be sentenced to around twenty years.â
Steven pressed further, âWhat about Jodie?â
The supervisor explained, âJodie was under Master Gordonâs control, and her actions were not of her
own volition. While she is considered a victim and has suffered backlash and harm, she will also face a
two-week punishment from the geomancy association. After this period, she will be released from our
custody.â
Steven found this outcome unsatisfactory.
Jodie didnât seem like someone manipulated by others in his eyes.
However, he understood that the decision had been made by the geomancy association, and his role
was merely to be informed, not consulted.
In public, wealthy individuals might yield, but geomancy masters often consider themselves superior to
ordinary people.
If one offended them, it could result in geomancy traps or tampering with ancestral graves, bringing
misfortune upon the offender.
This was why there were geomancy associations and special departments to regulate such
matters.
However, in this case, the geomancy association seemed determined to protect Jodie, leaving Steven
with no real choice.
Sarcastically, he commented, âYou can call it whatever you want; my objections donât seem to matter.â
The supervisor smiled. âMr. Gray, if you have objections, feel free to voice them.â
Steven raised an eyebrow. âThen I believe thereâs a significant issue with Jodie. She intentionally
harmed my son. Canât you send her to prison as well?â
The supervisor regretfully replied, âIâm sorry; based on our investigation, she is also considered a
victim. We cannot send her to prison.â
Steven sneered, âThen what else is there to say?â Despite his dissatisfaction, he decided to file a
complaint with the special department upon returning to Cebros.
âLeaving that matter aside, can you arrange for the geomancy master to escort us back to Cebros, as
per my previous request?â Despite his displeasure with the outcome, hiring a geomancy master was
still necessary, and he was willing to pay the required fee.
The supervisor assured him, âThatâs not a problem. Coincidentally, two geomancy masters are
returning to Cebros, and they can accompany you tomorrow.â
Steven nodded and didnât prolong the conversation.
He then left with the information provided by the supervisor.
A low bar could shake off the feeling that thing was
