The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 Waiting for the Verdict

His health had been poor these past few years, so he never dared to try again.

That sigil had a total of 49 steps.

Finished

Yet this little girl’s hand movements were flawless. She completed all 49 steps smoothly, without a single mistake.

She was incredibly fast. Done within a few seconds.

He replayed the footage frame by frame.

Even now, he couldn’t figure out how she pulled it off. She used no circle, no assisting array. And she looked fine afterward. She could run and jump. She only coughed up a bit of blood. That was it.

The group chat fell silent.

At last, Sophia typed a single line, slow and calm.

“I trust Scarlett. Let’s wait and see the result.”

At this point, she was Scarlett’s number–one avid fan.

They weren’t the only ones watching Scarlett.

Leona and Hazel knew about it too.

Ever since they both took a loss last time, they never missed any news about Scarlett.

Knowing Scarlett was on a show today, they entered the livestream early.

They were shocked to see Scarlett present herself as an oracle and attempt to scam the Quinns.

Hazel was thrilled. She turned to Leona and said eagerly, “Mom, she’s finished this time. You know Zoey too, right? Why don’t you text her now? Say a few comforting words and apologize on Scarlett’s behalf. That way, we gain goodwill with the Quinns. It’ll make Scarlett look even more shameless.”

“Hazel,” Leona said, frowning slightly. “We don’t know the result yet. Don’t jump to conclusions. We wait. If the enemy doesn’t move, we don’t move. Have you forgotten how you lost last time?”

Leona didn’t believe Scarlett had real psychic abilities.

She thought it was just gimmicks arranged by her company.

After losing to Scarlett once, she wouldn’t act rashly again.

There was also something else she couldn’t let go of. How did Scarlett get the Brookriver Police Department to issue that public statement online last time? Leona suspected Scarlett had stronger backing than they realized. For now, caution was best.

What mattered most was getting the crystal bead from Scarlett.

Leona hoped this incident would turn public opinion against Scarlett. If the Quinns stepped in and crushed her, Scarlett would have no choice but to come back quietly.

The Baileys couldn’t compare to the Quinns.

The Quinns were a century–old jewelry empire.

To them, the Baileys were nothing more than newly rich.

Once the Quinns applied pressure, Scarlett wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Hazel muttered, “Last time was my mistake. That just proves she was already plotting against me. Otherwise, how did she record that video of me and Raymond? I’ll be careful from now on. Mom, just send Mrs. Crawford a message.”

“Let’s wait,” Leona said.

For now, she had no plan to contact the Quinns.

Hazel bit her lip.

She wouldn’t let Scarlett off so easily.

Both Scarlett and Zoey were at the police station right now. This was the perfect chance. She could message Zoey and apologize on Scarlett’s behalf.

It would make Hazel look polite and make Scarlett look rude and vile.

After Leona left, Hazel opened Zoey’s contact and sent a message.

She had Zoey’s number because Matthew had some business ties with the Baileys. Hazel had attended a party hosted by her family before.

Back then, she wore a sweet smile and shyly approached Zoey. She said she admired her, liked her very much, and loved jewelry design. She asked for Zoey’s contact, hoping for guidance.

Zoey hadn’t said much.

She only smiled and called Hazel cute.

Then she gave her the contact.

Hazel also had Gemma’s contact.

Hazel first messaged Zoey.

“Mrs. Crawford, this is Hazel. I just saw the news online and learned what happened. I never expected Scarlett to do something like this. I want to apologize to you on Scarlett’s behalf.

“Please don’t blame her too harshly. She didn’t grow up by Dad’s side. Since she came home, she’s often
