Chapter 327 The Inevitable Retaliation
Following Simone’s departure, the other guests also took their leave. Aaron was left alone, feeling out of place and uncomfortable. He informed the program stall, who promptly removed the camera from their vicinity. He then approached Salma and said, “Mom, since Simone doesn’t want to help, let’s drop it”
She glared at him, her expression gloomy. “Why are you so indifferent? Your brother is lying in bed right now. Are you following Simone around every day just to learn how to be a brat?” Her dissatisfaction with Simone was evident, and she directed it toward her son.
He was left speechless. “But she has to be willing to help, right? We already owe Simone. Why do you keep trying to emotionally manipulate her? Andrew’s current condition is not Simone’s fault. You should find Jodie. Since she was able to harm Andrew, maybe she could also help him. After all, the people behind her are not to be underestimated.
His guilt towards Simone was overwhelming, and he didn’t want to force her into doing something she refused.
Salma’s expression darkened further. “You ungrateful child, are you saying I was wrong? Simone got lost back then, and it wasn’t my doing. After she returned, I, too, wanted to make amends. It was her decision to sever ties with us. So, I dont think I owe her anything She took a deep breath and continued. On the contrary. I’m her biological mother, but she publicly embarrassed me like this, which is unfilial,
Aaron was taken aback by his mother’s words “Mom, how could you think like this? Simone left the Gray Family because of us. Dad was right. You should cease contact with Mrs. Foster
Salma had expressed regret and guilt after Simone left. She had always said that she wanted her to come back home. However, it seemed like the tables had turned, for his mother had garnered more resentment toward Simone forgetting how they had driven her away.
Now, she felt that Simone owed her as a mother. This kind of logic and thinking was not present in his mother before and only started after she became closer to Melinda
Salma raised her hand and slapped Aaron a few times. “You idiot. You dare to meddle in my affairs! I see that you’re just following Simone’s footsteps. The more you learn, the more unruly you become. You’re learning to disrespect me, just like how Gwen disrespects her mother.
Stunned by the slaps, Aaron turned furious. “You’re simply unreasonable. You don’t listen to our advice but insist on listening to those with ulterior motives who sow discord. Just do whatever you want, as Grandma said. After saying that, he did not care about her mother anymore and left angrily.
Frustration surged through Salma as she stomped her foot. All of my children are getting more outrageous by going against me!
Aaron did not go back to his room. Instead, he asked the staff and ran after Simone and the others.
At that moment, Simone and the others walked toward a lively street in Cubilis. She and Bailey were walking in front, chatting, while Leon followed behind. He caught up and walked beside Leon, who glanced at him and asked, “Did you resolve your mother’s issue?
Aaron looked speechies. “No, she’s impossible He pulled Leon away from the cameras and, in a low voice, asked. How’s your relationship with your mother now?”
Leon was puzzled. “Why are you asking this?”
Aaron did not hide anything. Our mothers have become close. My dad told me that they go out together- every day. My mom used to feel guilty toward Simone and wanted to make amends. But now, she has a lot. of resentment toward Simone and thinks she’s not good in many ways. Your mother must’ve played a part in this.”
Leon did not expect his mother’s matter to be involved here. Lately, our relationship has been quite strained. She’s been saying bad things about Simone in front of me, but I didn’t listen. She must’ve said it to your mother as well.”
His mother wanted him to help Jodie and distance himself from Simone. She even said some nasty things about the latter. This time, he not only ignored her but also argued back, which angered his mother. It was likely that because of this, his mother redirected her anger toward Simone.
Aaron instructed unhappily. “Talk to your mother. Tell her to stop troubling Simone. She hasn’t done anything to provoke or bother her. That’s being unreasonable.
Melinda was not a good person, instigating Salma to become more aggressive.
Leon nodded. “Okay, after the show ends, I’ll talk to her. He, too, found his mother unreasonable. He could justify her dislike back then regarding his feelings for Simone, but now that she had rejected him, he found no reason for his mother to target anyone.
The two of them continued talking behind them. Although in a low voice, Simone and Bailey could hear them.
She was rather speechless about Melinda, who favored the daughter of a cheating husband and treated her own daughter poorly. How hypocritical of her to attack me.
Since Melinda insisted on causing trouble, she did not mind fighting back. Her master once said that geomancers like them should stand their ground and follow their hearts. Sometimes, it was okay not to
take the high road because some simply did not deserve it.
And I don’t know what Salma’s thinking. Can’t we just live a good life? Why does she have to mingle with that insane woman! She will regret it in the future,
However, if Melinda and Salma could see Jodie’s true colors and despise her, Jodie’s luck would be greatly weakened
This time, Sembag No. 4 had suffered continuously. Not only would they despise Jodie more, but it would also create more resentment toward her. That way, Jodie could face bad luck and even a considerable backlash.
Simone had already discovered that Jodie’s luck mainly came from those who genuinely pampered her. Once these people stood against her, her luck would weaken, and the backlash would become more severe.
With this in mind. Simone decided to take action later. When dealing with a snake, it was important to target its vulnerable spot. She was aware of Melinda and Salma’s weak points, and if they tried to cause trouble, she would certainly retaliate.
As Samone and the others were searching for a place to set up a physiognomy stall, they found a single in the seomanry association. room
Jodie was confined in that room, which had a bed, a table, and a bathroom. At that moment, she stood in front of the mirror, unable to believe what she saw. Her appearance had aged and became unattractive.
Her complexion had darkened significantly, worse than before Not only did she have numerous blemishes, but she also had many wrinkles, making her look twenty years older overnight. Her once
black hair now had a significant amount of white hair mixed in. Without makeup, she resembled a woman in her
Resentment filled her eyes as she muttered, “Andrew Gray, you are heartless! In addition to being cursed and weakened, her luck had also diminished because he had started to resent and give up on her.
Her biological brother had always said that she relied heavily on her luck. Apart from relying on Simone, she depended on those who genuinely cared for her, like the Gray Family. If they betrayed her, she would be in trouble.
Ever since her foster brothers began to dislike her, her luck had significantly weakened, and abnormalities. started appearing on her body. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Now, Andrews backlash was even more severe. She regretted her actions at the polo field, not wanting to accept the reflection in the mirror. In a state of panic, she rushed to the door and began banging on it desperately
Soon, a voice came from outside, asking. “What’s going on?
She ceased banging on the door upon hearing the voice. Instead, she raised her hand and tapped on the door rhythmically a few times, like a secret code. After a moment, the person outside said, “Wait. Moments later, she was quietly escorted to a secret room
