The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314 Backlash

Instead, it was Leona’s family that the townsfolk would probably come to hate.

After all, a dark spell that could steal someone’s fortune was terrifying.

Everyone would instinctively keep their distance from Leona and Matthew.

Their reputation in the town would be destroyed.

Returning to the town would only earn them cold stares.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, their paths no longer lined up. Scarlett held up the wooden box and said, “Tad, I’ll take this dagger and the box with me. I’ll bring the sigil back as well and deal with it properly. It requires special handling to break the dark spell on it.

“Once you get home, you don’t need to worry. By tomorrow, the dark energy around your house will gradually disperse and won’t affect you anymore. As for the dark energy on you, it’s only a faint trace clinging to the surface of your bodies. Just spend some time in the sunlight, and it’ll fade away.”

“Alright, just take it all,” Tad said, waving his hand. “Something this evil–we wouldn’t dare bring it home anyway.”

If it were up to him, he’d rather smash that thing straight into Leona’s face.

But he also didn’t want Leona getting her hands back on the dagger and using it to harm people again.

Now he finally understood–this kind of dark spell required extremely evil objects.

The dagger was exactly that.

It was the most critical piece of the whole ritual.

They absolutely couldn’t let Leona get it back and keep hurting people.

With that, the matter was essentially over.

Scarlett took the box and prepared to head home.

As for Leona…

Scarlett let out a faint chuckle and glanced at the black box in her hands.

Do they really think a dark spell like this can be used freely?

By the time Scarlett got home, it was around 7 p.m. Hendrix and Rory hadn’t eaten yet, and the food was still warming in the pot.

When they saw Scarlett return, Rory quickly brought the dishes out. “Scarlett, come eat.”

Scarlett sat down with her family and ate dinner, telling them what had happened with the Macks.

Both of them were stunned by what they heard.

Hendrix’s face even turned a little pale. “Scarlett… does she really have that kind of ability? She won’t hurt you in the future, will she?”

He was naturally referring to Leona.

Hendrix knew Scarlett had basically fallen out with that side of the family.

Scarlett said gently, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m far more capable than she is.”

No matter what kind of force was backing Leona, she would uproot it completely.

She glanced at the box sitting on the nearby table. Inside were the dagger and the astrological chart. She had already placed a restraining seal on the box, preventing the dagger’s dark energy from leaking out and harming ordinary people.

After dinner, Scarlett returned to her room.

This was a fortune–stealing dark spell.

Simply digging the object out wasn’t enough; it also had to be broken.

Breaking the spell wasn’t difficult–compared to drawing the fortune–stealing sigil itself, it was far simpler.

That was why the dagger was critical, but the sigil was equally important.

And looking at the sigil, it seemed like it had been preserved for many years.

It wasn’t a sigil that had been drawn recently.

Leona had no cultivation whatsoever, so she obviously couldn’t have drawn a sigil like that herself.

Which meant it had come from the force backing her. There was no telling where they had

managed to obtain such a sigil or such a valuable dagger.

It was clear they had invested heavily in this.

Scarlett suddenly froze.

A thought struck her–something wasn’t quite right..

Now, she knew there was a powerful force behind Leona, one capable of helping her identify rare treasures and even providing her with strange and unusual items.

And this force had also helped other people.

Because Yvonne carried that same mark on her body.

Scarlett suspected the Macks now carried it too–the scent of blood that had been marked.

Tomorrow, she would have to visit the Macks to confirm it.

The poison in Yvonne’s body hadn’t been planted by Leona. It had come from someone else.

Which meant this force was helping other people as well.

This organization could obtain poisons that seemed not to exist anywhere in this world. It could also acquire treasures like the dagger and sigils–and likely many other things. Its capabilities were enormous.

A force with that much power probably lacks neither money nor influence.

So what do they want?

Why are they helping these people?

Helping them harm others?

At the very least, Leona and whoever stands behind Yvonne have both used this force to hurt people.

There might even be others using this same power to harm people too.

So what exactly is this organization after?

Scarlett frowned.

Then slowly, her brow relaxed again. There was no use thinking about it now.

First, she needed to break this fortune–stealing ritual.

Chapter 314 Backlash

Scarlett took out the sigil and placed it on the table, forming a hand seal as she began chanting

With a sharp crack, the sigil suddenly burst into flames without any source of fire.

It slowly burned down into ashes.

Only then was the ritual truly broken.

Scarlett looked at the ashes of the burned sigil on the table and let out a quiet snort.

Leona and Hazel are probably in serious trouble this time.

Even though the sigil itself hadn’t been drawn by Leona, using a dark spell to harm someone meant that once the spell was broken, she would inevitably suffer backlash.

And not only that–the astrological chart within the sigil, the one used to steal someone else’s fortune, would also suffer heavy damage.

Meanwhile, in Brookriver, Leona, Hazel, and Matthew had just finished dinner.

Matthew sat on the couch in the villa’s living room, his face full of worry as he said bitterly, “I

Francis must have something wrong with him. He’s just some guy who got rich
