The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 316

In the end, the Treasure Hunter told her exactly how to steal the Macks‘ fortune.

All she had to do was write the astrological charts of the deceased heads of the Macks–those who had lived in their ancestral home–into the sigil, then add her own astrological chart as well, and bury it beneath the Macks‘ tomb.

She had no intention of adding any fortune to herself.

So she wrote Hazel’s astrological chart instead–she only wanted Hazel’s luck to improve.

Not only that, Hazel had written it with her own hand.

Because the Treasure Hunter had made it clear–whoever wanted the fortune had to personal write their own astrological chart into the sigil.

Fortunately, Hazel had been very close to Jewel.

It hadn’t been difficult for her to obtain the astrological charts of the Macks‘ elderly couple.

Hazel even felt a little lucky about something else. Back when she noticed Jewel always hangin around Scarlett at school, just to irritate Scarlett, she deliberately pulled Jewel over to her side.

Of course, she’d used the “trueheart charm” her mother had given her.

Her mother had said that the True Heart Seal worked just as well on women.

But Hazel still found something strange.

She had used the trueheart charm on both Jewel and Simon.

Jewel became completely devoted to her.

So why didn’t it work on Simon?

Not only did it fail, but not long ago, he had even blocked her completely.

Leona glanced at her daughter and said gently,

“Don’t worry, Hazel. This spell will definitely succeed. After all, we put so much effort into it. That sigil and the dagger cost a huge amount of points.”

Even mentioning it made her feel a little pained.

Both the sigil and the dagger had been obtained from the Treasure Hunter using borrowed

points.

The sigil alone required an enormous number of points–so many that it would probably take her several years to earn enough points to obtain another one.

The dagger required only half as many points as the sigil.

Because the Treasure Hunter had told her, “Although the dagger costs only half the points of the sigil, it must be returned. In three months, the Macks will completely fall into decline. At that time, you must go back to their family tomb, dig the dagger out, and return it to me.”

So three months later, she would have to go back to the Macks‘ tomb and retrieve the dagger to return it to the Treasure Hunter.

Hazel asked expectantly, “Mom, does that mean I can go abroad for surgery? Will my eye finally be able to recover?”

Leona smiled. “Don’t worry, Hazel. Next month, we’ll go overseas for the surgery. That will be safer. The object hasn’t been buried long yet, and the Macks might not have suffered much impact so far. After a month, it should be enough.”

Of course, she knew what would happen to the Macks once their ancestral fortune was stolen.

But she didn’t care.

As long as her daughter could recover, nothing else mattered.

The moment Leona finished speaking, a sudden, unbearable pain exploded in her chest.

Without warning, a mouthful of blood sprayed from her lips.

Her mouth was stained with blood, her face turned deathly pale, and with a loud thud, she collapsed to the floor, unconscious.

Hazel was terrified by the sudden sight of her mother coughing up blood and collapsing. She let out a sharp scream.

But the very next second, a violent pain struck her own chest. She barely had time to clutch her heart before a metallic sweetness rose in her throat. A mouthful of blood burst from her lips as well, and she collapsed to the floor, losing consciousness just like her mother.

Downstairs, Matthew had still been cursing under his breath. When he heard the commotion upstairs, he shouted angrily, “What are you two doing up there? You never give me a moment’s peace.”

But he still got up and went upstairs to check.

The moment he pushed open the study door, Matthew’s eyes widened in shock.

Only then did he panic and dial 911.

The next morning, Scarlett woke early to cultivate. The distant mountains were wrapped in drifting mist. After finishing her cultivation, she went into the yard to exercise.

Hendrix and Rory had both gotten up early as well.

The boxing techniques she had taught them were something they practiced every day.

The results were actually quite noticeable.

They just didn’t realize it themselves yet.

After exercising, the family ate breakfast together.

Then Scarlett went to visit the Macks again.

Everyone in the Macks was home that day.

Shirley smiled warmly. “Scarlett, thank you so much. Bunny drank milk last night and was fine -no vomiting and no fever. She slept soundly all night.”

Scarlett went to check on the baby as well.

The little one looked healthy and energetic now.

The dark energy lingering around the Mack Residence had also begun to disperse.

Scarlett spoke briefly with Shirley, then went to find Tad and Dudley.

“Tad, Dudley, I need a drop of blood from each of you. I want to verify something.”

Naturally, the two of them agreed. They fetched a needle, pricked their fingers, and let a drop of blood fall onto a piece of paper.

After smelling it, Scarlett confirmed her suspicion. The same faint trace of that mark was present.

Seeing Scarlett’s serious expression, Tad’s heart skipped a beat.

“S–Scarlett… is the dark spell they used on our family difficult to undo?”

Scarlett shook her head and smiled. “Don’t worry, Tad. The spell was already broken last night.

If nothing unexpected happened, the other side should’ve already suffered the backlash. You can ask around the Bailey Residence–whoever got hurt is probably the one who performed the spell. I only asked for your blood to confirm whether the ritual had fully broken. It has. Everything’s fine now.”

She couldn’t exactly tell Tad and Dudley that she wanted their blood to see whether this matter was connected to the mysterious force behind Leona.
