The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 240: Got Her Attention

It wasn’t just Felix who had suspected something wrong with Dr. Tom and shared the same concerns.

So, they didn’t rush to call the doctor when Felix was recovering.

Someone said, “The IV drip itself is fine, but it also makes you prone to allergic reactions.”

Felix was confused. “What do you mean?”

Simone answered, “The medication is fine, but it leads to an allergic reaction. Talk about your recent bad luck.”

“It’s a severe kind of allergy that could result in death.”

“There is nothing you can do other than believe that you’re truly unlucky this time.”

Felix shuddered after hearing that.

He didn’t think his bad luck could lead him to a severe allergic reaction.

He asked, “Can you figure out why I’m having such bad luck? I haven’t been in contact with anyone lately, and no one in my family would fight me over my inheritance. Who could be behind all this?”

Simone carefully examined Felix, and her gaze eventually fell on the jade ring he was wearing on his thumb.

“Take this ring off and let me have a look.”

Felix didn’t hesitate to remove the ring and hand it to her. “Could this be the problem?”

Simone took a glance and confirmed that the ring had been tampered with and was emitting some sort of negative energy.

“Gentlemen, let me show you something.”

Simone took out a variety of tools from her bag and swiftly crafted a talisman.

Then she placed the talisman on the table beside the jade ring.

A faint wisp of black smoke emanated from the ring.

The talisman was ignited and released a noxious odor shortly after.

The once translucent jade ring darkened as the talisman burned!

An unpleasant scent filled the room.

Julian switched on the air purifier to dispel the bad odor in the ward.

Simone turned to Felix and asked, “Did you start wearing this half a month ago? How did you come across it?”

Felix nodded. “Yes, I began wearing it half a month ago.”

Then, he shifted his gaze to Tommy, who was seated beside him. “Where did you get this, Tommy?”

Tommy answered with a hint of grimness on his face, “I bought it from my wife’s cousin at an antique auction house.”

“My wife informed me that her cousin had acquired a shipment of ancient jade at her auction house about half a month ago, and she invited me to take a look.”

“Her cousin recommended this jade ring to me when I visited.”

“I liked the fact that the jade ring was translucent and made of high-quality jade, so I decided to buy it.”

“Her cousin told me that wearing it only brings greatness, so I put it on the same day.”

He looked at Felix and continued, “Little did I know that you also took a liking to it the next day. So, I gave it to you.”

“It looks like you’ve now saved me by directing all the bad things to yourself.”

Tommy would have lived a life full of pain and guilt if his younger brother had died due to this incident.

However, Felix only breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s a good thing that I’m the only one affected. It would have been more troublesome if it were you.”

“You and Zac don’t meet with each other that frequently, after all. Zac wouldn’t have sensed anything amiss and asked Simone to help out if it were you.”

He was genuinely happy that he had spared his older brother from a calamity.

Tommy felt moved and said, “I’m afraid I wouldn’t have made it if it weren’t for you.”

Then, he looked at Simone and asked, “Is this what the ring looks like originally, Master Gray?”

Simone nodded and replied, “Yes, it was tampered with before. The dark-red tint and negative energy it carries were intentionally concealed.”

“This ring likely originated from an ancient tomb.”

“Someone deliberately soaked this ring in the deceased’s blood after he or she had passed away before placing it back on the occupier of that tomb.”

“That tomb was also tampered with. The good geomancy of the tomb was transformed into a desolate one for whatever reasons.”

“The jade ring now harbors some sort of grudge and is entwined with negative energy after being taken from such a place.”

She turned to Felix and explained, “The fact that you are still alive is a blessing. It must be due to all the good deeds that you and your family have done previously.”

“An ordinary person would have succumbed within seven days.”

“The car accident you had before might not end up being just an injury. It could’ve been the end of your life.”

“Also, you might have used up the last bit of your blessing during the car accident.”

“That’s why you are influenced by the negative energy of the ring, and bad things start to happen now in quick succession.”

Felix didn’t look like someone who would die young if nothing bad had happened to him.

However, he could have faced an entirely different fate if Zac didn’t bring Simone along today.

Simone realized it must have occurred today now that she thought about it.

She wouldn’t have realized that Felix’s premature death was intentionally orchestrated if she wasn’t here today.

Felix’s face turned even paler, and he couldn’t help but feel nauseous.

“And I’ve been wearing this for half a month.”

The ring was soaked in the blood of the tomb’s owner after all. Not only did it make him feel nauseous, but also the thought of it made him shiver in fear.

Felix would definitely steer clear of thumb rings for at least a good while.

Then he said to Tommy, “This was intentionally designed to conceal its appearance. The person who framed it must be aware of it.”

“The fact that you bought it could be either a coincidence or someone wanted you to have it.”

Tommy’s face darkened as he replied, “I don’t believe in coincidences.”

“I was basically dragged to the auction that day. I didn’t want to go there.”

Felix’s expression instantly turned ugly. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Could it be Gianna?”

Gianna had shown nothing but love and affection toward Tommy all these years. She looked as if she prioritized his well-being more than hers.

Could it be all of it was just an act? But Tommy didn’t feel like she was acting.

Then, Tommy shook his head before saying, “There’s no way Gianna would do this.”

He continued, “Not so sure about her cousin, though.”

“Jane Fordson is an expert in jade, and she persistently recommended this ring to me on that day.”

He narrowed his eyes as he added, “She even said that it would bring good luck. Was she trying to bring harm to me?”

Felix immediately knew who his brother was referring to. “Could it be that she did it for her brother’s business? I heard that she’s helping her eldest brother in the company and had already bought out several other jewelry companies.”

“Didn’t she also use her exceptional gambling skills to acquire some top-quality jades recently? She is stealing the spotlight of the master gambler in your company. You are probably seen as a threat as the president of the largest jewelry company.”

“Reich Group will be in grave trouble if anything bad happens to you.”

“You are in the country.”

“On the other hand, her family’s jewelry company will benefit from your demise and potentially rise to the top.”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Besides, she can solidify her position in the Fordson Family if she helps them to overtake Reich Group or even acquire it.”

“The daughter of the Fordson Family will have no power even if she is found and returns now if that happened.”

Tommy didn’t want to believe that Jane had planned all this.

But someone who had taken down the biological daughter of the Fordson Family from the pecking order was certainly not one to be trifled with.
