The Heiress Strikes Back

104 Another Trouble

“I think this lady won’t be able to last until the ambulance arrives.” An old man wiping the ground stared at Sharon and Kerry as if he were watching a show.

Sharon glanced at the old man with black hair and eyes. He doesn’t seem to be a local.

“I’m sorry, old sir, can you help me call the ambulance?” Sharon was rather anxious. She saw that Kerry’s expression was already very ugly, so she could only quickly think of a way.

She didn’t expect the old man to squat down and poke Kerry’s body a few times. Thereafter, he took out a small bag that he carried with him and retrieved a small silver needle.

He raised Kerry’s hand and inserted it in.

As Kerry’s blood flowed out, her expression became better.

“You’re so powerful. Are you a mage?” Sharon covered her mouth in surprise. This was indeed the first time she had seen such a strange skill.

Following the old man’s movements, Sharon gestured at Kerry a few times.

She didn’t expect the old man’s expression to change slightly. My technique is extremely fast, and ordinary people aren’t able to see it clearly. However, the little girl in front of me instantly remembered my actions. Could she be a genius?

Kerry only recovered completely at night, and Francis was brought to the police station by John.

Sharon comforted her a little before receiving a call from James. “Sharon, Dad can’t see the road clearly while driving at night. Drive my new car and accompany me to the old castle in the suburbs. My friends are all there!”

Sharon frowned slightly. “Dad, don’t tell me you’re going to buy an ancient castle again! Our family is currently in need of money. If you’re deceived again...”

James was a strange person. Not only did he not have any skills, but he was also easily bewitched. He also wanted to earn money, but he always placed his thoughts on unorthodox methods-one of them was buying ancient castles.

He had previously spent a lot of money on one, but it was taken back by the country. Not only did he fail to earn any money, but he even made June want to divorce him. Recently, he actually wanted to buy an ancient castle for some reason.

James didn’t expect his daughter-in-law to dare talk to him like this, and his tone instantly changed as he snorted. “Why are you talking so much nonsense? You’re not the only living person in the house. If it weren’t for the sake of giving you a chance to perform, I would’ve found someone else long ago. Hurry up!”

Sharon sighed. James is just stubborn. If his family knew that he was going to see castles again, they would’ve reported it to the Harris family long ago. They wouldn’t have given him this chance.

But he was an elder no matter what, and Sharon couldn’t disobey. She could only hurry and follow the address James gave her.

When she reached the entrance of the castle, James’s expression changed again. He sneered at Sharon. “It’s useless for you to go in. Why don’t you wait in the car?”

Sharon had never liked this atmosphere, so she didn’t force it. She just found it strange.

This was a traditional castle, but there were some red ribbons and colored lights hanging outside the door.

Unexpectedly, just as Sharon switched on her phone and checked the treatment method used by the old man, James called. “Sharon, come in quickly. I have something important to tell you!”

“I understand, Dad. Wait for me...” Sharon didn’t know what happened inside, but she rushed in. She didn’t expect to see three tall bodyguards standing beside James in the living room on the second floor.

James was sitting there without daring to move. His entire body was trembling non-stop, and his expression was extremely unsightly as he muttered, “Oh no... This is really bad!”

Sharon walked into the ancient castle. The decor was very outstanding here, and she could already guess what kind of person the castle owner was with the many dragon-shaped totems around.

In front of James was a bowl. Maybe it was valuable, but Sharon couldn’t tell.

“Miss, this is a bowl used by Ramses II, but it was broken by your father.”

Sharon was completely stunned when she heard this. Did I hear wrongly? Ramses II? The ancient Egyptian monarch? I didn’t expect this old man to have created such a big mess this time!

“Miss, we’ve already tried to persuade Mr. James, but he refused to listen. In addition, the market value of this bowl is more than one million. Now that Mr. James has broken it, I’m afraid he needs to compensate.”

Even though the middle-aged man’s words were already very tactful, Sharon still understood: It seemed that James had nothing better to do and had broken someone’s valuable item. Now, he needed to pay the price.
