The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213 Trueheart Charm

+5 Pearls

Simon followed Scarlett back to her place so she could examine the strange feeling around him and see whether Hazel had really used some kind of spell on him.

After all, Hazel and her mother clearly knew how to steal the object that drew in fortune from Zayden.

That only convinced him further that he didn’t actually like Hazel.

He’d been manipulated, too.

Scarlett was about to hail a cab home.

However, Simon hurriedly stopped her. “Scarlett, wait. I’ve got a car parked nearby.”

To her surprise, he led her to a sleek sports car in the underground garage of a nearby mall.

Scarlett’s eyes lit up slightly. She had a soft spot for sports cars.

She’d been planning to get a driver’s license and buy a small Mini for convenience.

Once inside, she didn’t tell him to head straight home.

‘Let’s stop by Antique Street first.”

She wasn’t going to browse antiques.

She needed cinnabar, yellow paper, and a proper brush.

Simon’s condition wasn’t severe.

Wearing a paper charm for a while would be enough to dissolve it.

Simon obediently drove to Antique Street first.

After purchasing the cinnabar, yellow paper, and brush, they finally returned.

Back at the villa, Scarlett scooped up Blackie, whom she hadn’t seen in days, and gave her a thorough

cuddle.

She cleaned the litter box and also refreshed her food and water

Simon watched quietly.

Scarlett seemed warmer with animals than with people.

She genuinely loved them.

Though she treated her friends well too.

He wondered if he could ever count as one of them

Chapter 213 Trueheart Charm

Objectively, someone as striking as Scarlett would attract plenty of romantic interest.

But whether it was him. Nelson, or the others, none of them could quite muster that kind of feeling toward her.

The gap was too wide.

Scarlett felt less like an ordinary person and more like something untouchable.

She was someone you could only admire from afar and would rather befriend than pursue.

As he thought about her abilities, something stirred in Simon’s mind.

He thought of his uncle, who had been in a coma for a decade.

Their branch of the family was collateral.

The main line remained in Jyncrest.

Decades ago, the main branch of the Jenkins had been formidable.

But over the past ten years, they had gradually withdrawn from public view.

They had even handed over most business affairs to Simon’s branch.

Outsiders had no idea what happened to the main family and why they suddenly retreated.

Even the collateral branches didn’t know for sure.

But they all suspected it had something to do with the uncle who had been in a coma for ten years.

He had been only sixteen when he collapsed.

Now, ten years later, he was twenty–six.

Though only a few years older than Simon, his seniority meant Simon still had to call him Uncle.

Simon suddenly realized that since Scarlett was this capable, maybe she could help.

Her medical skills and her understanding of the occult were both exceptional. She might know what had happened to his uncle.

Of course, he wouldn’t recklessly ask her to fly to Jyncrest right away.

He would need to speak with his family first. The elders would have to contact the main branch and formally request her help.

Scarlett noticed Simon drifting off in thought. “Give me a few drops of your blood,” she said calmly. “Ell

take a look.”

She then tossed him a disposable lancet.

Simon pricked his fingertip and squeezed out several drops of bright red blood onto a slip of paper.

Chapter 213 Trueheart Charm

Scarlett leaned closer and inhaled faintly.

As expected, even Simon’s blood carried that faint “marked” scent.

It also carried traces of paper charm energy.

He had indeed been branded.

It was most likely a trueheart charm or a love charm.

It was something connected to Hazel, her mother, and the force backing them.

Just like with Zayden and Yvonne, Simon’s blood bore that same marked trace.

Simon couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, “Scarlett, did she cast something on me?”

He carefully explained when he first began feeling strange around Hazel and how he’d acted against his own will.

Scarlett asked, “Before you started feeling that way, did she ‘accidentally‘ fall and touch you?”

Simon paused.

That was exactly what happened.

He’d run into Hazel at the company, and she’d timidly called out to him.

He hadn’t intended to respond. However, as they passed each other, she suddenly twisted her ankle and grabbed his arm.

After that, his behavior around her began to shift.

A week ago, at the airport, Hazel’s mother had done the same to Zayden.

Shortly after, his fortune–drawing object was stolen, and the backlash began.

Simon’s face turned pale.

He recounted it all.

Scarlett nodded slightly. She likely used physical contact as a trigger to imprint the sigil on you

Simon’s expression darkened further
