The Miraculous Simone Gray

Chapter 187 Is She Deceiving Me?
The man noticed how Simone recognized him, and he smirked at her. “I knew it. You still remember me.” Simone walked over
and took a seat, looking at the man as she responded to him. “Of course, I remember. Among all the men who pursued me, you
were the least attractive, and you had the most cliché way of expressing yourself.” Little did she expect that this person would be
Jodie’s brother.
During her college days, he had pursued her relentlessly. He even bothered her by standing downstairs outside her dormitory
every day with a bouquet of roses each time. What was even more absurd was when he lit candles downstairs in the shape of a
heart. He even brought a guitar and sang love songs. She was disgusted by his actions, and she called the security department
back then.
He was forced to clean up the mess on the ground before he was taken away by the security. guards. Every Friday, she would
leave the campus. He would wait at the school gate, and he would insist on taking her out for a meal. His actions annoyed her,
and she found it very unpleasant. Leon found out about this, and he often came to pick her up from school during that time just to
assert his dominance over this person. Gradually, this person stopped coming.
Right then, the man was stunned as he apparently found it hard to believe that she described him in such a manner. He
questioned her with a serious look on his face. “How am I ugly? My way of expressing love is unique. How am I cliché?” Simone
rolled her eyes at him. “You are simply unattractive, and your attempts at romance are exactly what netizens would call cheesy.
Could you please have some self–awareness?”

It seemed to her then that he pursued her not out of love but with a hidden agenda. No wonder I found this guy so annoying at
that time, Simone thought. She rarely hated someone s much, but her intuition told her to stay away from this man. In her
previous life, her abilities in geomancy and mystical arts were not very advanced, so she didn’t manage to identify what was
wrong with this man. But right then, as she looked at him, she felt an indescribable disgust.
She could tell that he didn’t just have issues but that they were also quite significant. The man was taken aback by her response,
and his face turned even more sour than before. “You-!”
Simone waved her hand to brush him off. “Alright, enough with the nonsense. Why did you want to see me?” She had a strong
impression of this person because, in her previous life, she happened to see him on the day that she was kidnapped. She could

even recall how he had intentionally bumped into her on purpose on that day. Then, he apologized first before trying to initiate a
conversation with her. She ignored him and headed off to the parking lot, where she fell into the trap and was kidnapped.
Looking back, it seemed like that was not a coincidence at all. From this new perspective, it also confirmed her previous
suspicion. The ones who kidnapped her and Jodie weren’t really
1/3
enemies who wanted to extort the Gray Family, but rather, people who worked with Jodie. It was proven that Jodie was indeed
not innocent.
The man could sense that Simone didn’t want to talk about the past. Yet, he couldn’t help but ask her a few questions. “Do you
remember what my name is?” he asked. Simone had a good memory, so she naturally remembered his name. But there was no
need to tell this guy the truth. “I don’t remember what your name is. I only remember how unattractive and sleazy you were.”
The man was infuriated again. He considered himself a very charming person, and he had played with countless women in the
past. Many of them fell deeply in love with him. Yet, with Simone, he became unattractive and sleazy. What kind of taste does
this woman have? Is she blind?
Although he pursued her with a hidden agenda, she was so beautiful that he naturally wanted to have her completely. He hadn’t
expected that she would ignore him and avoid him. It was the first time he had failed so miserably in pursuing a woman, and this
made him very unhappy.
He looked at Simone before speaking in a clear tone. “My name is Ernest Wilson. Remember it from now on.” Simone was
speechless. “Why should I remember your name? Can’t you stop being so sleazy? If you have something to say, then just hurry
up and get to it. Otherwise, I’ll leave.
In the
past, this person didn’t tell her that his surname was Wilson. Perhaps he had been afraid that she would associate his last name
with Jodie. After all, Jodie Gray was originally surnamed Wilson before being adopted by the Gray Family.
When Ernest saw that she really wanted to leave, he spoke hastily. “I just want to ask, what method did you use to counterattack
against me?” He had been stalling all along just to observe Simone’s aura. But he found that he couldn’t see through her aura at
all.

Her aura was still very normal, just like when he pursued her in the past. But he couldn’t determine how powerful of a geomancy
master she was. He wasn’t just unable to resolve his confusion–his doubts grew even bigger than before.
Ernest didn’t know that Simone had figured out a lot during their conversation. In addition to intentionally teasing him, she was
also observing his aura and sensing his energy. Therefore, from the moment Simone entered the room, she had already noticed
many things. She sneered. “Do you think I’m foolish enough to answer that?”
Ernest shrugged. “If you don’t want to say it, then forget it. What level is your current strength at? Are you still in the acquired
realm, or have you already entered the innate realm?” he asked curiously.
Simone looked at him and smiled. “Take a guess!”
2/3
to say.
Ernest was speechless. This woman is so irritating. He changed the subject. “I have nothing else.
Do you have any questions for me?” He couldn’t get anything out of Simone, and she wouldn’t tell him anything. So, the only
option was to trick some information out of her. He reached out and caressed the ring on his thumb, attempting to capture
Simone’s aura. He figured that he could find an opportunity to pass the ring to someone after that. Therefore, he made excuses
to delay his time with her.
Simone had been observing Ernest all along, and she naturally noticed his subtle actions. She glanced at the ring he was
wearing and sensed that something was amiss. She could discern that it was capturing her aura. However, she could tell that it
would take some time. Despite using a talisman and employing a secret technique to conceal her aura, she had to be cautious.
She couldn’t allow the other party to detect her aura.
She began counting the seconds in her mind. Then, she gazed at him inquisitively. “Are you and Jodie full biological siblings?”
Ernest was momentarily taken aback before he grinned and responded to her. “Certainly. But this time around, Jodie isn’t
involved at all. I simply couldn’t bear to see you mistreat my sister, so–I wanted to teach you a lesson. Who would have
anticipated that it would backfire?!” This was the last outcome he expected, and it left him frustrated.
However, even if given the chance to choose again, he would still come to the country and do the same thing. While Ernest was
feeling dejected, Simone made a sudden remark. “But... I can discern from your facial features that you and Jodie do not share
the same mother!” His lie about being full siblings is merely a facade, huh?He and Jodie have the same father but different

mothers, just like Skyler and Freya. Kids like these sure have womanizing fathers. These men aren’t just extremely fertile; they
also manage to find different women to bear their children.
Of course, Simone didn’t believe this was merely the man being promiscuous, but rather that he had a purpose in fathering these
children. Ernest’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Simone. Then, he put on a perplexed look. “What are you talking about? How
could we not have the same mother? And how can you decide that just by looking at my facial features? I don’t believe it. He
was a cultivator of the innate realm and had utilized secret techniques to conceal others from using physiognomy on him. How
can Simone possibly see through it? Is she deceiving me intentionally?
