Chapter 124 If He Helps Jodie Again, He Is a Dog

Freya noticed that Harold not only didn’t willingly give her the jade pendant but also closed his eyes.

She had expected this outcome, but she couldn’t help holding onto hope.

Reality once again slapped her in the face; this man’s heart was cold, and he had no pity for her.

She couldn’t help but wonder whether Harold would give Gwen the jade pendant if Gwen needed it

now. The more Freya thought about it, the sadder she became, but she still couldn’t let go, nor could

she give up.

As she bit her lip, she curled up on the couch and cried sadly.

Master Gordon said he needed to make preparations and receive someone, so he temporarily left the

office.

Steven’s gaze shifted between his three sons and adopted daughter. His third and fourth sons

snatched the bracelet from his second son’s hand and gave it directly to the adopted daughter. This

was something he never expected.

After they snatched them, they even had a righteous and confident look, which left him speechless and

heartbroken.

He couldn’t help but think that one day, there could only be one person left between his second son

and adopted daughter. Would these two sons also give up their older brother and choose the adopted

sister?

Upon reflection, when did this situation start? Had the influence of the adopted daughter on his sons.

become so great? Then, he thought of Simone, his biological daughter.

He spent little time at home, and Jodic was the adopted daughter, so they didn’t have much close.

contact.

Ever since Simone returned, his wife would often complain and say that the adopted daughter was

more obedient and well–behaved while their biological daughter was not sensible.

She always liked to snatch things from the adopted daughter and bullied her behind her back.

Simone was already the young lady of the Gray Family, yet she still wanted to drive away the adopted

daughter and strip her of her identity as the Gray Family’s daughter.

He was afraid that his biological daughter would spend too much time outside and become too

So he let his wife and sons do as they pleased.

He also thought of giving Simone some lessons so that when she came back, she would be a true

heiress of a prestigious family.

petty.

He wanted her to realize that it was unnecessary to for only on the adopted daughter with such

narrow–mindedness, but now, it seemed that he might have been wrong.

1/4

Regarding his wife and sons‘ dissatisfaction with Simone, was it really just because Simone targeted

and bullied the adopted daughter and snatched her things Perhaps this adopted daughter had been

poisoning their minds behind the scenes.

After Simone decisively left the Gray Family, he realized that this daughter had a very straightforward

personality. If she had any grudges, she would settle them on the spot. She didn’t like scheming

behind. people’s backs.

So, if they couldn’t tolerate the adopted daughter, they should have openly suppressed her from the

beginning.

After all. Simone didn’t even show any respect to her own father, mother, and brothers, so how could

she be afraid of the complaints and only bully her behind her back?

Steven didn’t say anything, but his gaze toward Jodic turned colder.

It seemed that he needed to speed up the investigation into the relationship between his adoptive

daughter and his sons.

If his adoptive daughter really intentionally led his sons astray, the

avimore.

the Gray Family couldn’t keep her

And what about the suggestion from Master Gordon back then to adopt Jodie? Was there any hidden

agenda behind it?

Jodie was very sensitive, and she noticed Steven looking at her with a probing and complex gaze. She

looked up and called out softly. “Dad”

Steven’s gaze instantly returned to normal, and there at

sa hint of concern in his eyes as he looked her. “Jo, are you feeling better now?”

When she saw Steven’s concerned expression. Jodie breathed a sigh of relief and obediently nodded.

I’m feeling better.”

She had always wanted to get close to Steven, but he had been avoiding her.

She knew very well that among the entire Gray Family, Steven was the most important figure. If she

wanted to stay in the Gray Family and continue living as a wealthy heiress, she couldn’t anger or

displease Steven.

She thought about her two brothers fighting over the bracelet for her earlier, and her heart skipped a

beat.

Steven and her brothers were different; he placed more importance on blood ties.

She couldn’t help but wonder if her taking Titus‘ bracelet had caused Steven’s displeasure. So, she

suppressed her annoyance and grievances, and she took the initiative as she said, “I’m not in that

much pain anymore. Let Titus continue using the bracelet

In order to leave a good impression on Steven and secure her future, she could only continue to

endure.

After she said that, she even handed the bracelet over, but before she could pass it to Titus, Andrew

pain doesnt count for much. You

should keep the bracelet.”

Luca also agreed. “Yeah, you’ve always been afraid of pain since you were little, so you should keep

them

Titus is a grown man, so how can he compete with his sister for something?”

When he heard this. Titus was so angry that he wanted to strangle these two foolish brothers right

away. He opened his eyes and looked at the two coldly. “You really understand me. I hope when it’s

your turn in the future, you can still say the same thing.”

These two idiots were beyond redemption.

He would never remind them, and if given the chance, he would even push them a little so they could

experience the consequences of having a younger sister.

Luca and Andrew thought that Titus was becoming more and more stingy. It was ridiculous for a grown

man to compete with Jo. but they didn’t dare to retort under Titus sinister gaze, so they remained silent.

At this moment. Jodie also opened her eyes and glanced at the four of them.

Her lips curled with a hint of playfulness. This adopted daughter of the Gray Family was not simple at

all, as she had the brothers wrapped around her finger

No wonder she was able to push Simone, the biological daughter, to the point of severing ties with the

Gray Family.

From the looks of it, she wasn’t just manipulating the brothers in the Gray Family. It seemed like she

was playing with them.

And looking at Titus‘ current state, it seemed he didn’t need any reminders.

Jodie felt a bit intimidated by Titus‘ gaze, especially with Steven watching.

She handed the bracelet to him again. Titus, take it.

Titus didn’t accept it as he just looked at her. “Are you really willing to give it up?”

Jodie was taken aback for a moment, after which she forced a smile. “Of course, Titus. I’m willing.”

“Heh!” Titus chuckled in a sinister manner. The more it pained him, the more he realized how

composed and level–headed he had become.

Jodie was clearly only returning the bracelet because of their father. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have

feigned helplessness and used his two foolish brothers as pawns.

Since she had returned it, why wouldn’t he accept them? He reached out his hand and was ready to

take the bracelet.

However, Luca grabbed his hand and said, “Titus, if you’re uncomfortable, you can squeeze my hand.”

3/4

He even extended his other hand and offered his arm to Titus. “Or you can bite my arm”

Titus couldn’t find any words. Not only were they fools, but they were also terrible teammates

These two idiots were beyond redemption.

He forcefully shook off Luca’s hand and said resentfully, “Get lost. Don’t disgust me.”

As he observed this, Steven added, “Jo. Titus is a man. He can endure a little pain. You should keep

the bracelet for yourself”

Titus couldn’t believe what he was hearing from Steven, his eyes filled with the look of someone who

had also been infected with stupidity

Steven looked at him meaningfully. Titus, am I right

A hint of bitterness rose in his heart, but he couldn’t help it. Had his biological daughter been treated

the same way, which led to their estrangement

He said this not only to prevent Jodie from suspecting or being wary but also to let his second son

experience this feeling himself

Based on the information he had gathered, his second son had been the cruelest to his daughter

Titus didn’t dare to argue; he could only grit his teethus he said, “Yes”

Then, he looked at Jodie, and the coldness in his eyes deepened. Jo, you’re a girl. How can I, as your

older brother, compete with you! Keep the bracelet for yourself.”

If he ever helped Jodie again, he would be a fool.
