Chapter 366 Who Else Could It Be?
“It won’t be that effective if you do it now. Let me give Melinda a taste of what she’s been doing all these times. I’ll indulge her in a bit of dirty play.”
Bailey laughed. “You really like to hold grudges.”
Simone replied, “Of course, don’t you hold grudges as well?”
Bailey smiled. “I do.”
He didn’t see himself as a bad person, but he certainly wasn’t a saint either.
He would make sure people who plotted against him would suffer dearly.
Simone grinned and said, “Now, we’re talking. I’ll show you how I keep their quarrel going today. It may even escalate into a direct confrontation.”
Bailey couldn’t figure out Simone’s plan, so he was curious about it. “Alright, I want to see
too.”
Simone was surprised that he would want to enjoy people’s dramas such as this. She edited the video and hacked a Facebook account right in front of him following that.
Then, she made a post on Facebook.
The post was about exposing the affluent Mrs. Gray, who acted like an uncivilized woman behind the scenes.
Bailey immediately played and watched the video.
All he could see was Salma cursing and hitting another woman after Simone edited the video.
However, Melinda’s face was censored, so people couldn’t identify her.
Bailey asked in confusion, “Why did you censor Melinda’s face?”
Simone explained, “That’s because the account I hacked belongs to her. She likes to use this Facebook account to flaunt her wealth. People will look into this account when Salma. becomes a trending topic after I post this.”
She smirked and continued, “What do you think will happen afterward?”
She accidentally discovered this account back when she was investigating Melinda.

Melinda would show off by posting regularly on this account about jewelry, fashion, travel, and luxurious purses.
People who saw her posts speculated that she must be born with a silver spoon.
Their speculations and praises only satisfied Melinda’s vanity.
That was why she showed off her wealth on Facebook almost every month over the years.
She couldn’t help it even after marrying into a wealthy family for more than three
So, Simone decided to make use of it.
years.
Melinda always wanted to get at her. She even manipulated Salma to her advantage. Therefore, this was only the beginning.
Bailey was a smart person, and he instantly understood Simone’s intention. “You used Melinda’s account to post the video, and it’ll lead back to her when Salma sees it and investigates. She will definitely think that Melinda posted this to provoke and disgust her. Meanwhile, her son has the complete video in his hands. Therefore, she’ll reveal the complete video to fight back and explain why she acted this way.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “On the other hand, Melinda has never posted anything like this on Facebook. So, she would think that Salma had someone hacked her account to defame her.
“Only the three of them were present today, after all. Aaron Gray happened to be the only one who has recorded a video of it. They will go to war against each other at this point. It will be much more than arguments the next time they confront each other. It may be something spectacle.”
Simone glanced at him and said, “You’re really smart, Bailey. Have you watched a lot of TV shows about family dramas?” How did you know what would happen next between these two?
Bailey chuckled. “Nonsense.”
Although he enjoyed gossip, he didn’t like watching dramas. He knew it because he had witnessed quite a few power and wealth struggles among the women in his family.
The likes of Salma and Melinda would probably be eliminated by those women in his prestigious family within a day or so.
He smiled and said, “I think you’ll have a good chance to survive until the end if you traveled to the past to ancient times and lived in a palace
Simone laughed before replying, “You sound confident about that, Bailey.”
2/4
Bailey was right again.
She had traveled to ancient times briefly in the past, and she was a servant in the palace.
Not only did she defeat her rivals, but she also brought down the emperor.
The two of them continued to chat for a while.
Simone had the video posted using Melinda’s alternate Facebook account to the top of the most searched results when she saw it was almost time.
Meanwhile…
Melinda had just returned to the hotel after taking care of her injuries at the hospital.
She picked up her phone and checked the most searched results out of habit, only to see the video.
Her expression instantly changed. What is that despicable woman, Salma Johnston, doing? The more she thought about it, the more she suspected a conspiracy was brewing.
She believed that Salma was trying to find a way out by exposing her flaws and letting the netizens do what they do best.
Then, Salma would release the complete video to turn the tables and make the netizens criticize her instead.
Everyone would be blaming everything on her at that point, and Salma would be able to get out of this.
There were only three of them in the room today, after all, and there were no cameras.
Only Aaron had recorded the video. So, who else could be responsible for this besides the mother and son? Melinda was so angry that she had the urge to rush to the hospital and give Salma a beating right now, but she also knew that it wouldn’t do her
any good.
It was not the right time to engage in an online argument right now.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Not only was she beaten, but Salma also had someone hack her account and post an edited video to try to turn the tables on her.
It was simply too much to bear.
What annoyed her even more was that her hacked account was used to show off her wealth.

3/4
She had never revealed her identity before. Therefore, no one in the upper class knew that it was her.
Melinda could imagine how embarrassing it would be for her in upper-class society if Salma exposed her identity.
She hadn’t suffered such an outplay in many years.
She couldn’t hold back her anger any longer.
So, she contacted the warlock again.
She requested that he deal with Salma first before Simone.
The warlock didn’t mind. He was happy about the change. Dealing with ordinary people was much simpler than dealing with geomancers, after all.
So, he proposed a separate payment, which would cost three million.
Melinda transferred another three million to him without hesitation following that.
That was the last bit she could spend for now.
The
money would be worth it as long as the warlock got rid of Salma and Simone.
She could just wait for her husband to return if anything bad happened.
Then, she could just please him and get some more money from him.
However, she couldn’t let him know about the warlock.
Otherwise, it would ruin the kind and flawless image he had in his heart.
