Chapter 241 I’m Also Interested to See How Great They Are
Simone was familiar with Reich Group and Fordson Jewelry.
Reich Group was an esteemed and renowned jewelry family that held a prominent position in the international jewelry industry.
Fordson Jewelry was once a no-name jewelry company, but recently, it experienced rapid growth and became the second-largest jewelry company after Reich Group.
It was particularly renowned for its exquisite jade jewelry.
Simone was aware of Fordson Jewelry’s reputation, but since the Fordson Family and the Gray Family were not in the same social circle, there had been no interaction between them.
Therefore, she had no prior knowledge of the affairs of the Fordson Family.
Curiously, she asked Felix, “What do you mean by ‘the true heiress?” Felix was not surprised by Simone’s interest in this topic, as she had once been abandoned. It was only natural for her to be sensitive to such matters.
He replied, “We were just talking about Jane Fordson, who is not a daughter of the Fordson Family. She was switched at birth twenty years ago. Eight years ago, she went to the hospital for a physical examination and discovered that her blood type was different from that of the Fordson Family.
“She voluntarily informed the Fordson Family and even did a DNA test, which revealed that she was not the biological daughter of the Fordson Family. The Fordson Family then conducted an investigation and discovered that a nurse had accidentally switched the babies. After that, they found their biological daughter, June Fordson, and brought her back.
“Due to Jane’s original poor family background and their preference for sons over daughters, the Fordson Family did not send her back and continued to raise her as their daughter. However, in recent years, Jane has been very active in high society, while the true heiress, June, remains relatively unknown.
“There are rumors in the social circle that the true heiress, June, has been secretly hating Jane, and she has even embarra*sed herself at several banquets because of this. The Fordson Family thought that the true heiress was not presentable, so they stopped taking her to social events. Jane often takes the initiative to bring June to social gatherings, but it only highlights June’s shortcomings. In other words, while Jane, the fake daughter has been gaining popularity, June, the real daughter, has been losing credibility in the social circle
Jane, in particular, was already favored and has shown great skill in gambling on jade stones In recent years, she has brought many high-quality jade stones to the Fordson Jewelry company, earning her the love and attention of the Fordson Family
Felix continued, “Jane may appear gentle and generous, but behind the scenes, she is ruthless and cunning. I went to the same high school as her and noticed that she would subtly. instigate others to bully June, who had recently returned to be with the family. When June had been bullied enough, she would pretend to be a good sister and step in to help.
“Because she often claimed to protect June at school, everyone had a favorable impression of her. But June, who did not value her sisterly care, had a bad reputation and was thought to be ungrateful and impolite by others.”
He added, “It was through this unintentional discovery that I realized how cunning and ruthless Jane could be. I suspect that she revealed voluntarily that she was not the true heiress of the Fordson Family but rather to stay in the family and replace the real heiress. That’s why I suspect that Jane is the one who tampered with my brother.”
Tommy paused and said, “No wonder Lara mentioned not trusting Jane and advised not to get close to her.”
Felix helplessly responded, “Yes, unfortunately, she was deceived by Jane and didn’t believe me at all.” He changed the subject and said, “But if it’s Jane who wants to harm you, Lara won’t spare her once she finds out.
His sister-in-law cared deeply for and loved his brother. If Lara were to learn about this, she wouldn’t maintain a friendly relationship with Jane anymore.
Tommy nodded and added, “I will look into Jane, and I will also inform Lara about what happened to you today.” After a moment of thought, he stated, “If it’s Jane intentionally targeting me, it’s not just because I am a hindrance to her. She might also want to prevent me from going to the largest public jade market on the border with the company’s expert in gambling on stones in ten days.”
If something happened to him suddenly, the company would undoubtedly be thrown into
chaos.
The top executives would not have the time or energy to compete for power and profit, let alone go to the public jade market to purchase raw jadeite.
Felix interjected, “So, it’s highly likely that she did it intentionally”
“But even if we find something suspicious, there’s no evidence to prove that it was her
If we confront her, she definitely won’t admit it. She knows that this ring is problematic
Therefore, if it was her, there would be no way to seek revenge using this as evidence
Tommy said profoundly It doesn’t matter it she doesn’t admit it. There are many ways to
retaliate”
He was not one to be taken advantage of. His younger brother almost died, and he was determined to exact vengeance,
Felix asked with a concerned tone, “Are you still planning to go to the jade market on the border, Tommy? They targeted you once, and there might be a second or third time.”
He pointed to the jade ring on the table and said, “If they are willing to resort to such means. to deal with you, it’s truly difficult to defend against.
Sighing. Tommy remarked, “That’s also what worries me. But this public jade market is the largest one in the past ten years, and I must personally attend with someone.”
A high-end jewelry company like theirs needed jadeite to grow in the future.
Felix worried for his brother, but when he saw Simone, he suddenly had an idea.
“Master Gray, will you be free in ten days? Would you be willing to accompany my brother to the border’s jade market as a geomancy consultant? We are willing to pay you, or I can offer resources from the entertainment industry in exchange.”
Simone was highly capable, and if she went with his brother to the border, he would feel. relieved.
He added, “If I recover quickly, I would also like to go.”
Tommy had witnessed Simone’s abilities and thought it was a good idea when he heard his younger brother suggest it.
He looked at Simone with anticipation, waiting for her response.
She had originally planned to go to the jade market herself. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, she naturally wouldn’t refuse. She was also quite curious about the true heiress of the Fordson Family and wondered if that person was similar to Jodie Gray.
Geomancy masters like them couldn’t enhance their abilities without a connection to the jadeites, so she believed that the fake heiress was likely to have a problem. After considering for a moment, she said, “Of course. I’m also interested in seeing how great they are. I will discuss with the director and try to complete filming my scenes within these ten days.”
She added, “As for payment, we can discuss it later. Since we’re going to the jade market. I will also buy some rough stones to play with. If I don’t have enough money, you can lend me some. If I have enough money, after I return, Mr. Reich can use resources from the entertainment industry as an exchange.”
Both brothers felt relieved upon hearing Simone’s agreement.
Zac heard them and had a change of mind, as he also wanted to jom and have some fun.

Julian was amazed by Simone’s abilities today, even more so than the few masters he had encountered before.
Her abilities surpa*sed any he had seen.
With a contemplative gaze, he looked at Simone, wondering if he could ask her for help with
that matter.
