The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 A House Tainted by Darkness

The way things had unfolded caught everyone completely off guard.

At first, the Macks thought Bunny had simply gotten sick because she was fragile and had weak immunity.

That was what the neighbors assumed too.

Those same neighbors had come to help the Sanchezes deal with Mildred and try to talk some sense into

her.

But instead, they had just witnessed Mildred suddenly drag up a vicious murder case from more than a decade ago.

And that wasn’t even the end of it. Tad had brought his granddaughter to the Sanchezes for treatment.

Yet somehow it turned into talk about dark energy–about how being tainted by it could bring bad luck, and if it got worse, it could lead to disability, serious illness, or even death.

How had things gone from them trying to persuade Mildred to the Macks suddenly facing something this serious?

The crowd couldn’t help chattering among themselves.

‘Is what Scarlett said actually reliable?”

‘It probably is. Scarlett figured out Mrs. Boone’s situation just by looking at her. She clearly knows what she’s doing.”

‘What kind of mess is this? Since when is there dark energy involved?”

‘So what about Mrs. Boone? Are we still dealing with her? Wait–should we call her Mildred now? Are we just letting her keep lying here?”

‘Scarlett’s amazing. Not only does she know medicine, but she also understands the occult? Who do you think’s stronger–Scarlett or that spirit medium from the other town?”

I think Scarlett’s stronger. She read Mrs. Boone’s face, exposed her past, and even called out who she really was. She could be a demi–god for all I know.”

Scarlett turned back to Hendrix and Rory. “Head back first. I’ll go with Tad and take a look.”

Hendrix reminded her, “Alright, be careful. Go see what’s going on. If it’s nothing serious, help them out. If it’s something big, we’ll figure out a solution together.”

Scarlett nodded. After watching Hendrix and Rory return to the courtyard, she lowered her gaze and glanced once more at Mildred, still lying on the ground.

By now, Mildred had stopped crying.

Clearly, she’d heard everything about the Macks just now, and she’d been listening very carefully.

The moment she saw Scarlett looking at her, Mildred’s heart skipped violently.

That little bitch can even see dark energy?

Is she really some kind of powerful oracle?

That means getting revenge on her won’t be that easy.

Tad finally noticed Mildred lying on the ground. He frowned. “Mrs. Boone, what are you doing lying in front of the Sanchez Residence?”

His expression suddenly darkened, as if realizing something. He glared down at her. “Don’t tell me you’re still here making trouble over what happened with your grandson?”

“Tad, you have no idea,” one of the neighbors eagerly said. “Let me tell you. She’s not Mrs. Boone at all. Her real name is Mildred Blair. You know who that is? Over 14 years ago, there was a nasty murder case in Tanburn. Ever heard of it? Mildred was the evil mother–in–law in that case!”

The neighbors all started talking at once, telling Tad Mildred’s real identity.

They explained how Scarlett had recognized her from her face and exposed her as the same vicious mother–in–law from that old murder case.

Tad had heard about that case years ago.

Hearing it again now actually reassured him.

That meant Scarlett wasn’t just skilled in medicine.

She was powerful in occult matters too.

If she could identify Mildred’s true identity just by reading her face and could even see dark energy they themselves couldn’t see, then she could surely help solve whatever problem his family had.

Even though he still didn’t understand why their whole family had become tainted with dark energy

Tad frowned at Mildred and snapped, “What you’re doing is wrong. If you keep this up, I’ll call the police. What happened back then was clearly your grandson’s fault.”

He gave Mildred a stern scolding.

Whether she was afraid of him or afraid of Scarlett, no one knew

But she didn’t say another word and quietly climbed to her feet

Only then did the Macks leave with Scarlett, heading toward their home

The neighbors who had originally come to persuade Mildred were now halfway through a spectacle- there was no way they’d leave so easily.

They all followed behind the group, eager to see what would happen next.

After all, strange and evil events like this were rare in the town.

Along the way, Scarlett asked Tad, “Have you brought home anything strange from outside recently? Dark energy doesn’t appear out of nowhere. Since all of you have it on you, that means there’s probably something in your house generating it. Living there is what caused it to cling to you.”

Since she hadn’t seen the Mack Residence yet, she couldn’t immediately determine what had created the dark energy surrounding them.

Generally speaking, dark energy could come from contact with evil objects.

Most of those were burial items taken from the dead.

Or sometimes, an object that had remained in a dark, haunted place for too long could slowly turn into something evil.

Of course, there were also evil cultivators who deliberately refined objects filled with dark energy.

Another possibility was a cursed house, or a place where someone had died violently–those places easily accumulated dark energy.

There was also another situation: if someone committed too many evil deeds, dark energy could gradually gather around them as well, almost like karma finally catching up with them.

In general, those were the common ways

dark

energy formed.

She had already read the faces of the Macks. None of them were evil people–they were all fundamentally good.
