The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 320

Chapter 320 Treatment Time

The dagger grew anxious and began vibrating with a faint buzzing sound, but wrapped tightly in cloth, it couldn’t make any real noise.

Scarlett ignored it.

She did want an artifact dagger like this.

But its evil energy was far too heavy, and it clearly had no intention of recognizing a master, so she planned to leave it under the bed to cool off for a while.

More importantly, this dagger was a genuine treasure. She had no idea whether the force behind Leona would come looking for it.

So for now, she would leave it alone and avoid touching it carelessly.

That afternoon, Scarlett noticed that news about Hazel’s internal injuries had made it onto the trending charts.

Those paparazzi really were impressive–any time a celebrity had the slightest incident, they somehow found out immediately.

“Hazel and Her Mother Hospitalized With Internal Injuries”

“Domestic Violence Suspected in Hazel’s Family”

Scarlett glanced through the comments.

The gossip reporters had written the details quite clearly.

Hazel and Leona had suddenly collapsed in the study of their villa, suffering internal bleeding. They had been rushed to the hospital and were still lying in the ICU.

Neither of them had any signs of physical assault.

So Matthew had been released earlier that day.

Netizens were wildly speculating about what could’ve caused the sudden internal bleeding.

[This injury is seriously strange. Could it be they did something horrible and got hit with backlash?]

[You might actually be right. This whole thing is pretty bizarre. Apparently, the mother and daughter used some kind of dark spell to steal the fortune of a family with a very strong fortune. They buried something in that family’s tomb, but the ritual got broken, and they suffered backlash.]

[Wait, seriously? Whose fortune were they trying to steal? If the ritual got broken, someone powerful must’ve stepped in to help. Who was it? Somehow, it feels like Scarlett might be involved.]

[Was it really Scarlett who broke the ritual? Come on, whoever posted that earlier, spill more details already. Don’t keep it vague!]

[Can’t say. I live in the same town as the family they targeted, and my family told me not to talk about it online…]

[Mysterious much? But when someone mentioned Scarlett, they didn’t deny she broke it. Sounds like it really might’ve been Scarlett! If that’s the case, why didn’t Matthew call the police on her?]

[Think about it. Something this supernatural doesn’t leave evidence. There’s no way the police could arrest anyone. Besides, they brought it on themselves. Trying to steal someone else’s fortune is seriously vicious.]

[So things like fortune–stealing really exist in this world?]

[Of course they do. Skilled oracles probably understand it. Our generation sees less of this stuff. My great- grandparents used to say that in their time, people could even borrow lifespan from others. It was all incredibly eerie.

[Now it’s probably the age of spiritual decline. Spiritual energy is getting thinner and thinner, so powerful practitioners are rare, and things like this are becoming less common. I never expected those two to know such techniques. They don’t even look like they have cultivation. Maybe there’s some evil cultivator backing them.]

[Stop guessing. What era are we in? Dark spells stealing fortune? Something probably just happened inside the villa.]

The internet was full of arguments and speculation.

Scarlett read for a while, then stopped paying attention.

She went to brew the medicinal paste Willard needed for his leg treatment.

While she was at it, she also prepared some hair growth serum and skin renewal cream.

She had purchased a large amount of medicinal herbs.

She also made medicinal patches for knee pain and rheumatism, ointment for chronic rhinitis, and pills for chronic pharyngitis.

Her small online shop wasn’t meant to sell only cosmetic–style medicinal products.

Gradually, she planned to release more actual medicines as well.

A little after 2 p.m., Willard arrived for needle therapy.

Scarlett treated him simply as a patient, only asking about his knee pain and clearly having no intention of building any personal relationship.

Instead, Willard brought something up himself. “The casting for the drama is pretty much finished. In a few days, we’re supposed to go shoot the promotional photos.”

Scarlett asked, “Next week?”

Willard nodded. “Yes. Didn’t your company tell you yet?”

They hadn’t.

But speak of the devil.

Her phone rang at that moment.

It was her assistant, Maggie.

Scarlett answered, and Maggie’s cheerful voice came through immediately.“Sca promotional photoshoot is next Wednesday. The production team just sent the still Khiburn.

Scarlett smiled. “Alright, got it. See you on Wednesday.
