Chapter 256 Backlash
The sudden change in Jane’s condition naturally caught the attention and confusion of
everyone present.
What had happened to her? She had been allowed to leave during the auction to continue inspecting
the raw material.
So, Jane’s actions were also permitted.
Others were unsure and went to check on the raw material auction as well.
Of course, they didn’t want to miss anything.
Jebediah and the stone gambling experts from the Fordsons hurriedly followed suit.
Only June remained in her seat.
Ever since she transferred her luck to Jane, she had been in a somewhat ethereal state.
Now, she felt as if her whole being was gradually filling up.
She also felt the metaphorical shackles that had been weighing her down disappearing.
This meant that what Simone had said earlier had come true.
After Jane ran out, she couldn’t help but glance at Simone.
Simone also sensed something and turned her head, winking at her.
Tears welled up in June’s eyes, and she had the urge to cry.
Then Simone turned back and typed on her phone.
June received a message on her phone.
She looked down to read it.
Simone: Jane has been hit by backlash and will definitely come to you for revenge.
Get up now and go to the restroom. There’s a woman wearing a black baseball cap and a mask waiting
for you. Follow her and leave this place to return to the capital
Simone knew that with Jane’s ruthless nature, encountering such a devastating event would surely
lead to seeking an outlet for her anger
And June would undoubtedly be the first target.
Jane had brought quite a few people with her, and jebediah wouldn’t help June.
So now, while those people were busy re-inspecting the raw material, it was the best time and
opportunity to leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSimone had planned it all in advance, which was why she had sent her assistant, Lisa, here yesterday.
She had Lisa take June away, not by plane, but by driving all the way back.
There was still a lingering trace of June’s aura, which would take half a day to a full day to dissipate.
Driving around and visiting a few more places was also to confuse the people behind Jane.
Once all traces of the aura were gone, that person would never be able to find June again.
June felt warmth in her heart upon reading the message. Simone had arranged everything for her.
Although she really wanted to see how Jane would suffer from the backlash and collapse in this public
competition, she knew she couldn’t hold Simone back.
June: ‘Alright, I’ll follow your plan.”
“Thank you, Simone!” she said, quickly getting up and heading towards the bathroom.
Simone: “I’ll show you the live broadcast later. Just wait and see Jane’s reaction and the results of the
public auction. She’ll be in for a treat.”
She felt a connection with June and naturally thought that she would want to see this.
If it were her, she would definitely want to watch such a spectacle.
So, not wanting June to miss out, she prepared to video chat with her later and broadcast the
current situation.
June couldn’t hold back her tears, touched by someone caring and considerate for the first
Simone was truly kind
“Great, I really want to see it she didn’t say thank you again, but she kept it in her heart
June walked to the bathroom door and saw the woman Simone mentioned
Lisa also saw June and immediately approached her, grabbing her arm.
“Let’s go,
I’ll take you away.”
June didn’t refuse and nodded at her, “Okay!” The two quickly left the venue of the public plate, and
Lisa took her to an off-road vehicle.
There was already a burly man in the car, plus the driver and the bodyguard.
There was also a talisman sticker on the rear window of the car.
For safety and to prevent tracking.
As soon as the two got in the car, the man immediately drove away.
June continued to cry in the car.
Lisa didn’t know about June’s situation.
But she heard Simone say that June had been switched at birth and was instead suppressed and
bullied by her own family after returning home.
Lisa felt sympathy and heartache for June, and she handed her a tissue.
She gently patted June’s back, silently comforting her.
She didn’t try to persuade her to stop crying because sometimes it’s good to let it out.
June took the tissue and wiped her tears while crying.
She said, “Thank you!” This young lady also gave her a warm feeling.
Lisa continued to pat June’s back, “No need to be polite.”
“After we return to Callington, you can stay with me first, and we can take care of each other from now
on.”
She was currently living alone in an apartment arranged by the
company
Simone asked if she could help take care of June for a while, and she agreed without hesitation
June sniffled, “Okay”
This was also the first time she would be living with someone other than those two tamthes
In the past, she was controlled and had no choice

When she was in junior high school, she actually suggested living in a boarding school to escape from
her suffocating foster parents.
But they didn’t agree and even said that if she wanted to live in a boarding school, she wouldn’t be
allowed to continue her education.
During college, she was controlled by the Fordsons.
She was forced to apply to the same university and major as Jane.
At the same time, she was also made to be a day student by the Fordsons.
What she had always longed for was the opportunity to live outside.
Ideally, she would also meet a few roommates who were easy to get along with and make one or two
good friends.
Because she had never had a good friend from childhood to adulthood.

Anyone who befriended her would have bad luck.
So, she dared not get close to anyone, afraid of causing harm to them.
Now, she suddenly had a kind of expectation for the future that she had never had before.
On the other hand, Simone hacked into the surveillance footage of the public disk using her phone.
She deleted all the footage of June leaving the auction hall.
This way, Jane and the Fordsons would not be able to find June anymore, nor would they have any
evidence to demand anything from her.
The auction commenced, and Simone located the raw material numbers that piqued her interest. She
also engaged in the bidding process and would acquire them if the price was right. If someone raised
the price beyond what she deemed reasonable, she would abandon. the bid.
Meanwhile, Jane, who had stepped outside to reevaluate the raw materials, was on the brink of losing
her mind. As usual, she reached out to feel the raw materials on the stone. However, she discovered
that she couldn’t sense anything. That peculiar sense of exploration had vanished, and as she touched
each piece of raw, she felt nothing.
Due to her hasty and overconfident approach, she solely focused on examining each piece and took
note of those with high-quality and top-grade jadeite. She disregarded the medium. and low-grade ones
as they didn’t appeal to her. However, her quick examination and the abundance of raw materials
resulted in her inability to recall which stone contained good

the point of madness.
How can I proceed with the auction under these circumstances? Jebediah noticed Jane’s panic and
imminent collapse, causing his heart to skip a beat. He reached out and grabbed the anxious Jane,
asking, “Jane, what’s the matter?” Jane was feeling extremely frustrated at that moment, and being
pulled and questioned like this only aggravated her further.
She raised her hand and slapped Jebediah, her face displaying a cold expression as she uttered, “It’s
all because of you. I had clearly recorded the numbers of all the raw materials I intended to bid on. But
because you called and interrupted me, my notebook ended up getting wet.” She couldn’t help but
redirect her anger and blame towards Jebediah, calling
him a useless waste.
