Chapter 374 Simone Takes the Initiative to Start a Fight
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.
Upon sensing the suspicion in Simone’s tone, Sean explained powerlessly, “I really don’t know about this. I’ll go and ask now. If no one has discovered or investigated it, I will apply to do so.”
Simone smiled and said, “Okay. I trust you, Mr. Stanley.”
After that, she changed the subject. “But I must warn you first. If the special department tries to protect the evil cultivator who murdered Jane, I will complain to the higher-ups. And if my complaint goes in vain, I will have no choice but to post my suspicions on Facebook. When that happens, don’t blame me if things get out of hand.”
If that mastermind still thought of escaping punishment after killing his biological daughter, I shall make it clear to him that it’s just his wishful thinking
I know the final result will not directly implicate him even if the special department investigates this matter, Even so, I want him to sacrifice an important pawn and automatically lose an advantage.
The most crucial thing is that I can follow the trail and identify the target once the pawn gets exposed.
“Alright. I’ll bring my men and investigate it now,” Sean said wryly.
It turns out that Simone has approached me for this matter.
Should I thank her for her trust? Even so, I can sense the seriousness in her tone.
She seriously will post her suspicions on Facebook if this matter isn’t resolved properly.
Even though I’m not very interested in the entertainment industry, I am aware that Simone is currently very popular. In fact, she can be considered a top star
Thanks to that live variety show, her fame skyrocketed.
Even after the show has ended, her popularity is still at its peak.
If she expresses her doubt publicly, it will also lead to countless people questioning us.
The aftermath of such a scandal won’t be good for our department.
“Thank you, Mr. Stanley.” Simone expressed.
Although the special department had used magic to conceal their true natures before, she could still tell that Sean was an honest and unproblematic man.
Therefore, she figured she should be able to receive an answer by entrusting him with this
matter.

Now that Sean had gone to investigate the cause of Jane’s death, Simone started returning calls and messages, one by one.
At the same time, she received a call from the assistant director of that fantasy drama series.
They said that Jodie’s reputation was now too tarnished, and she even got taken away to the geomancy association. Hence, they were preparing to replace her as the female lead.
Although Simone replied that she understood, she was certain that Jodie would most likely return to her normal self after getting released from the geomancy association in half a month.
For some reason, she felt that Jane’s death was related to Jodie’s recovery.
Regardless of whether the netizens believed or boycotted her or not, the mastermind would definitely make Jodie continue starring as the female lead in the drama once she cleared her
name.
After all, it was an opportunity to compete with Simone.
Jodie was the female lead, while she was the supporting female lead.
If Jodie performed well and overshadowed Simone in every aspect after the drama was broadcast, not only would she take away some of Simone’s luck, but the mastermind would also benefit from it.
Simone had just contacted Lisa and heard that many brands that had collaborated with Jodie were preparing to terminate their contracts.
In other words, Jodie was likely to be blacklisted.
Nonetheless, Simone speculated that the geomancy association would release a public statement within two days.
As expected, the geomancy association released a public statement early the next morning.
They put all the blame on Master Gordon and even included the story they had told Steven in it.
Furthermore, they claimed that Jodie was also a victim and had fallen under Master Gordon’s
curse.
They would lift the curse on Jodie and punish her for half a month.
As soon as this announcement was released, it immediately became a trending topic.
Many were indeed baffled.

Silently, they thought, So, it turns out that Jodie did so many heinous things because she was under a
curse.
Even so, there were also many voices of doubt.
Based on Jodie’s participation in the variety show, it didn’t seem like she was being controlled by someone.
Simone and Zac’s fans, in particular, directly expressed their refusal to accept the geomancy association’s attempt to clear Jodie’s name.
However, the geomancy association still insisted on their judgment.
After thinking for a while, Simone went to the internal website of the geomancy association and submitted a withdrawal application.
Then, she posted on Facebook, confronting the situation.
Simonev: Such a foul move. From today onward, I am quitting the geomancy association.
She even attached a screenshot of her withdrawal application.
That
way,
she wanted to see what that mastermind could do to her.
After entering the Divine State and achieving the oneness of heaven and humanity, she became even more desired to follow her own instincts and act with freedom and spontaneity.
Now, she would no longer tolerate that mastermind. Instead, she would proactively unveil his true intentions.
