The Heiress’ Return & Revenge Chapter 13 The Retort Comes Fast The village head had his doubts,

but he smiled at Simone anyway. “I see. We’re counting on you then, Miss Gray.” The tractor was

already broken. He didn’t mind letting the celebrity play with it. If she could fix it, they wouldn’t have to

get a new one, and the money could be used for something else. Since she had received permission,

Simone checked the tractor and quickly found the issue. There were some tools in the committee’s

office, so she took them and started fixing the tractor. The live stream’s viewers watched curiously. ‘Can

she really fix tractors?’ “There’s no way. This must be some clickbait.

“The village head just said they hired someone to fix it, but they failed. There’s no way she can fix this.

‘She’s going to end up failing hours later, but she still volunteered herself. All to set up an onscreen

persona.’ ‘Hey, you have a point. “This is a waste of everyone’s time. ‘What a fake.’ Jodie’s, Aaron’s,

and Leon’s fans quickly left hate comments for Simone. They claimed to be detectives and said

Simone would show her true colors eventually. Simone’s fans never heard her claim she knew how to

fix tractors, but they defended her. The other viewers were swayed by the hate comments and thought

Simone had no idea how to fix tractors. According to them, this was just a show. Twenty minutes later,

Simone put the tools back. She told the village head, “Done.” The village head was surprised. “Done?” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Simone said, “See for yourself.” The village head nodded. He took the keys and revved the tractor up.

The engine started to roar a little. Surprised, he said, “Oh, it’s fixed.” He drove the tractor around.

“You’re awesome, Miss Gray. The guy I hired couldn’t even fix it, and he spent hours on it, but you did it

in less than thirty minutes.” Simone’s team members were surprised by her success. Wow. She knows

how to fix tractors. Curious, Keira asked, “How did you learn how to fix a tractor?” Simone smiled. “I

took an elective in machinery back in university.”

Keira stared into Simone’s eyes. She did not expect Simone to have taken up that kind of elective.

Curious, she asked, “So what did you major in? Something related?” Simone didn’t lie. She said, “I

majored in geomancy.” That was no secret. Anyone could find out about 1/3 that if they wanted to.

Geomancy was popular in this world. Many higher education institutions offered that kind of course.

She learned geomancy from her mentor since she was a child, and she applied for the course because

she liked it. Everyone was surprised that Simone majored in geomancy. Keira smiled. “So, you know

physiognomy and geomancy, then?” Many in the entertainment industry believed in geomancy. Her

manager loved asking geomancers to predict the future. Simone smiled. “Of course.” Keira asked, “Can

you read my fortune, then?” “Sure. When we have a break,” said Simone. Keira wasn’t going to ask

Simone to do it right away. It wouldn’t be right to do it in a live stream. The viewers, on the other hand,

were shocked that Simone fixed the tractor, majored in geomancy, and took machinery as an elective.

‘Wow, she actually fixed it. It wasn’t a show.

I almost believed you guys! ‘Hey, fans of the other guys, feel embarrassed yet? I feel embarrassed for

your ignorance.’ ‘Ooh, she’s awesome. I took up a course in machinery too. She’s a pro. ‘Hey, she

came up with a good plan and fixed a tractor. She’s not just a pretty face like the internet claims her to

be. ‘I don’t think so either. She could’ve made a ton of money just showing her face around, but she

went for something that requires skills.’ “That’s right. Simone fixed that tractor and got her team dinner.’

‘Simone’s awesome. She knows so much.’ Because of Simone’s actions, she gained some affection

from the viewers. Aside from the crasser fans of Jodie, Aaron, and Leon, the others shut up after they

were proven wrong. Only a small part kept spewing trash talk. The village head was a lot more

welcoming toward the celebrities after the tractor was fixed. “You fixed the tractor. Come have lunch at

my place.” He promised he’d give Simone food if she could fix the tractor. The director did tell him that

the guests of this show had to work because they had to earn their meals themselves. Simone talked to

her teammates and smiled at the village head. “Pardon the intrusion, then. Oh, but can you make a bit

more food?

We have a task, and…” She told him about the task of exchanging food for bed supplies. The village

head waved her down, smiling. “Sure thing. We’d have to spend a lot more than food money just to fix

the tractor anyway, and we thought no one could fix that thing, so we might have had to buy a new one.

That would’ve cost a lot more. You helped a ton. A meal is nothing.” They’d have to provide food for the

mechanic from town if work took too long. The reward Simone asked for in exchange was dirt cheap

compared to that. He’d also made up his mind to give Simone 2/3 and her team preferential treatment

during the show’s shooting. After they were promised dinner, Simone and her team left the committee’s

office. They came out, and Zac smiled at Eric. “I’m a genius for making this team. We just hit the

jackpot.” Eric smiled. “We did. We finished our task and got ourselves dinner. If we’d gone the other

route, I’d never have come up with a good enough dish to get our bed supplies. I’m a lousy cook.” He

had chefs back at home, so he had never done any cooking before. Zac smiled. “I’m a bad cook too.”

Keira raised her hand. “Same.” Her parents would cook for her back at home. If she was living alone,

she’d eat out or order delivery. She then added, “But I can at least make something simple like eggs or

instant ramen.” She turned to Simone.

“Can you cook, Simone?” Simone smiled. “Yes. I’ve learned how to cook.” She and her mentor would

take turns cooking, and she had cooked a lot back in Gray Residence. Then, she traveled to a ton of

worlds and learned their recipes. Keira’s eyes shone. “That’s awesome.” Good thing we have a cook in

our team. If everyone’s a lousy cook, we’re going to have a tough month. Zac and Eric’s smiles

widened when Simone mentioned her cooking skills. “It’s a good thing we partnered with her,” they

thought. Keira inquired, “So, are we going to take a break and go back, or should we find something to

work on?” Eric and Zac turned their gaze towards Simone.
