The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 491 Extra From The Past (1)

At the Gray Residence, Salma received a call from the kidnappers and immediately contacted several

of

her sons to come over

Leon happened to be with Titus at the time and, upon

hearing the news, followed suit.

When they arrived, they saw Jodie and Simone sitting side by side on a long bench with their hands

tied behind their backs.

The kidnapper held a gun and pointed it at the two of them.

Salma and the others negotiated with the kidnapper for a long time.

The kidnapper gave them a choice.

Jodie, with red eyes and biting her lip, said, “Mom, Reuben, Titus, Luca, Andrew, Aaron, you should

choose. Simone. Although Simone is better than me in martial arts, this person has a gun, which is

quite dangerous. Simone is the biological daughter of the Gray Family. I am grateful enough to have

been raised by all of you. I am willing to make this sacrifice.”

Upon hearing Jodie’s words, Salma and the others, who were already biased, had only one thought in

their minds-Simone was also skilled in martial arts, so there was no need to worry too much if she was

taken away by this person.

On the other hand, Jodie did not know martial arts and was delicate. What if she got hurt by the

kidnapper? They comforted themselves, saying that the kidnapping was here for the money, and they

had already paid the ransom in full. They didn’t report it to the police so he wouldn’t harm Simone.

Upon hearing Jodie’s words and seeing the expressions of the Gray Family members, Simone roughly

guessed their choice.

She didn’t say anything, as it wouldn’t make a difference.

If she asked them to choose her, they would definitely accuse her of being selfish and self-centered,

and they would think they should choose Jodie.

If she pretended to be like Jodie and asked them to choose Jodie, then they would take it seriously and

think that she, because of her martial arts skills, understood the situation better.

In the end, they chose Jodie instead of her.

If Simone wanted to sever ties or something, they would definitely say, “Didn’t you ask us to choose

Jodic?” So, to these people whose hearts were already twisted, whatever she said would be wrong.

She didn’t want to become the kind of person she hated the most.

Hence, she would just let them choose.

Anyway, since the kidnapping began, she had mentally prepared herself and didn’t expect these family

members to save her.

She had previously found an opportunity to pick up a small stone and tied it to the rope behind her

back.

It was about to break, and she would save herself.

Although she had made some mental preparations, Simone still held a glimmer of hope.

After everything she had done for the family, she believed they might have a bit of affection for her and

choose her. Then, she heard Salma say, “We choose Jo, so release her first.”

The Gray brothers also said, “Yes, release Jo.

The glimmer of hope in Simone’s eyes vanished, replaced by a mocking expression.

Well, it didn’t matter anyway. She had already planned to distance herself from them.

After this ordeal, as long as she could safely go back, she would sever ties with them.

Upon hearing the others’ choices, the kidnappers looked at Leon and asked, “What about you?”

Simone also looked at Leon, her childhood sweetheart and boyfriend.

She had gone to remote mountain areas to film a variety show and hadn’t been answering his calls.

They had been in less contact recently, and their feelings had faded somewhat.

But he shouldn’t be like Salma and the others, with his heart leaning toward Jodie.

In Leon’s heart, Simone was naturally more important than Jodie.

However, when he rushed over, he received a call from his mother.

She insisted that he must bring Jodie back unharmed.

His mother didn’t really like Simone, and if he chose Simone and it became known, his mother’s

disapproval of her would be even greater.

mone was stronger than Jodie and knew some martial arts.

Her ability to protect herself was stronger than Jodie’s.

He had also brought along several skilled bodyguards from the Foster Family, who were lying in

ambush

outside.

After the kidnappers took Simone away, the bodyguards would help rescue her.

Leon noticed Simone looking at him with a trusting expression.

He felt guilty and thought that he would explain everything to her properly after rescuing her.

With some difficulty, he said, “I choose Jodie too, so please release her first.”

Simone looked at Leon with an expression of disbelief in her eyes.

She had expected the Gray Family to choose Jodie, and although she was sad, she could accept it.

But why is Iron choosing Jodie? After all, he was Simone’s childhood sweetheart, and they had grown

up. together. Yet, he chose another woman. Simone’s heart ached, and her eyes turned red.

Looking at Leon, she asked, “Why?” He had intervened in the last variety show select

He had taken such good care of Jodie in the show.

So his relationship with Jodie was not that simple? Simone wanted an answer.

Of course, since he had chosen Jodie, no matter the reason, Simone and Leon were finished.

She wouldn’t want a man like him, no matter how much she had once loved him.

Leon felt a sense of panic and said, “T’ll explain later.”

He would explain everything to her properly and believed that she would understand and forgive him.

Simone’s eyes filled with sadness and determination. “There’s no need. We’re done!” Just then, the

reached out and grabbed Jodie’s arm, pulling her over and pushing her towards Salma and the

kidnapper others.

“I’ll keep my word. Since you have chosen her, I will release her.”

Jodie was embraced by members of the Gray Family while Simone stood up.

for The kidnapper suddenly turned around and said, “But I don’t want to run either. I have a terminal

illness, and I can’t stand wealthy people like you. My child got sick and died because we didn’t have

money treatment. Why should your daughter be so pampered and worry-free? Since she was

abandoned by you, I’ll take my revenge on her”

Simone heard this and thought to herself that it wasn’t good.

The rope in her hand was cut by a small stone. Just as she was about to rush over and kick the

kidnapper’s gun away, the deranged kidnapper suddenly shot at her, hitting her in a vital spot.

Simone felt her life slipping away and remembered what her master had said.

She would encounter a calamity in her life, and if she couldn’t avoid it, she would die.

Simone slowly fell to the ground, revealing a regretful yet relieved smile.

She regretted not finding the person who harmed her master and seeking revenge for him.

She also felt sad that she would not be able to see Gwen one last time.

But she felt relieved that she would no longer be a part of such a family.

In her next life, she wished to have no connection with these people.

And so, she looked at them with a desolate and icy gaze.

Summoning her last bit of strength, she said, “You chose to let me die, and I will remember that. It’s

better to die. Consider it as repaying your favor of giving birth to me. From now on, we have no

relationship.”

Among all. Leon hurt her the most

She didn’t want to say anything to him before she died; the previous words of ‘we’re done’ were

enough.

Then, Simone closed her eyes, and her life force began to fade away.

Salma and the others, along with Leon, never expected such a turn of events.

The kidnapper’s words and the gunshot happened too quickly, leaving them all stunned.

By the time they reacted, Simone had already been shot and lay on the ground, fighting for her life.

The kidnapper knew he couldn’t escape, so after Simone fell, he also shot himself.

The Gray Family members and Leon were filled with shock and couldn’t help but shout, “No! Simone!”

Leon rushed forward.

He embraced Simone with a panic he had never experienced before. “Simone, I’ll take you to the

hospital. Hold on… Hold on…” –

Then, he picked up Simone and ran toward the exit.

Salma and the five Gray brothers were also in a panic and hurriedly followed.

Leon reached the car first, his hands and feet trembling as he tried to open the car door.

Waiting for an ambulance would take longer than driving to the nearest hospital.

However, it was not convenient to carry Simone.

Just then. Titus stepped forward and opened the car door. ‘T’ll drive.”

Aaron opened the back door and let Leon carry Simone inside before squeezing in as well.

Titus immediately started the car and sped

away.

Leon held Simone in his arms and felt her body temperature dropping. He was filled with panic an

He looked down at Simone, whose face had turned pale, and urgently shouted, “Simone, don’t fall

asleep. Look at me! Don’t scare me! Open your eyes and look at me!”

He didn’t dare to check Simone’s breath; he was afraid.

Aaron was also filled with anxiety. “Simone, don’t scare the hospital right away.”

1. Open your eyes and look at us. We’ll take you to

He also didn’t dare to check his sister’s breath, afraid of receiving bad news.

Titus, who was driving, also felt weak all over, but he forced himself to stay focused on driving.

He accelerated the car to its maximum speed, and after more than ten minutes, they arrived at the

nearest hospital.

Leon rushed into the emergency room with Simone in his arms. “Quick, save her!”

Soon, the doctors from the emergency room came running.

They asked Leon to place Simone on the bed and proceeded to examine her.

O

They realized that something was wrong with the patient-she

The doctor reached out and checked Simone’s breath, but there was none.

He opened her eyelids and noticed her dilated pupils.

He then used a device to check Simone’s heart.

There was no heartbeat either.

He could only look at Leon and the other two with regret and say, “The patient has passed away.”

Leon widened his eyes and demanded. “How is that possible? It can’t be! Doctors, quickly take her to

the operating room for resuscitation. She’s not dead; she’s just unconscious.”

Aaron also said, “Yes, my sister can’t be dead. Please save her!”

The doctor knew that the patient’s family couldn’t accept this reality.

Hence, to ensure the patient’s safety and that he acted responsibly, he asked the nurse to take Simone

to the resuscitation room.

While using the device to recheck, they started performing life-saving measures such as CPR.

At this moment, Salma and others also arrived at the hospital.

As soon as they arrived, the doctor came out of the resuscitation room.

He shook his head at them and said, I’m sorry, but we did our best. Please accept our condolences.”

This statement was unacceptable to Leon and the Gray Family.

“No… You must be joking, right? She’s so strong; how could she be dead?”

The doctor said, “She was shot in her vitals and died instantly. Please accept our condolences.
