Simone glanced at Andrew with indifference. “Your ability to gaslight is stronger than your directorial

skills. What do you mean by not letting her off? What do you mean I’ve been snatching her stuff?

What’s even funnier is, according to you, I’m the one snatching her spot on this show,”

He felt somewhat weakened by her consecutive counter-questions. Still, he questioned with a stiff face,

“Isn’t it true? We’re not asking you to have a good relationship with Jo; we just hope you stop targeting

and suppressing her. We’re all on the same show, so can’t we be kind and get along?”

Simone’s face revealed a sarcastic smile. “No. I originally had something in mind, thinking that since

we’ve severed ties, there’s no need to bring it up again. A clear conscience speaks for itself, but you

insist on making a fuss. Why don’t we let everyone judge? Is it me who’s snatching her things, or is it

her who sent you all to snatch mine? Are you my blood brother, or are you her blood brother? Why did I

sever ties with all of you and save myself from this mess of a self-pity party?”

After she finished speaking, she took out her phone from her bag. “Perfect timing. The phone is still

here.”

At that moment, Jodie’s expression changed when she saw Simone doing that. Andrew and Aaron, too,

had a bad feeling. What is she planning to do?

Simone quickly let them know the answer. She took out her phone and, in front of played the recording

from the day she severed ties with the Gray Family.

everyone,

When the Grays saw that, they all looked over. The live chat in the broadcasting room, which had been

arguing, also quieted down. Everyone was curious about what she was going to do.

From her device, a male voice questioning her rang out. “I called you earlier. Why didn’t you

answer?

Simone then spoke and had a conversation with this person. “Didn’t feel like it.”

The male voice said, “Stop with the trouble, will you?”

She replied, “Say something new. It’s getting old, and I’m tired of hearing it from all of you”

The man spoke, “Is this amusing to you? Jo wants in in that variety show. What harm would it do if you

just let that happen? Must you make the whole family unhappy!

Her voice rang. “This is an opportunity I fought for myself. I won’t give it up. That’s your business if

you’re unhappy

The recording paused at this point, and everyone quickly realized that this was a recording.

Jonah never expected Simone to start the live broadcast with such a bang. It was truly a stroke of luck

for him! As he watched the number of viewers skyrocket, he once again felt it was right to invite her

because of that favor.

The

paparazzi and marketing accounts were also excited. There was gossip, juicy gossip! Titus, sitting at

home watching the live broadcast with Luca, had a change in expression. The voice in the recording

was his own, the words he had said to Simone when he went upstairs to confront her.

Luca was also stunned. “She recorded it that day?”

Titus’ emotions were indescribable. “Sure did.”

Since Simone had never released the recording, he thought that she had only said those things to

scare them. Perhaps she did not want to go too far with them, so she did not release

1.

He took a deep breath, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice, and said, “I’ve always thought. she kept

this recording from the public eye because she cared about us, our family. It turns out she was waiting

for that opportunity right here right then.”

At the scene, the recording paused for a moment, then continued. This time, it sounded like the voice

of an older woman.

“What trouble are you up to this time? It’s been nothing but chaos ever since

you

returned.”

Then, Simone’s voice appeared, along with a conversation with a few people. “Did I insist on returning?

I remember you all came to pick me up, right? And what trouble did I cause? Jodie wanted

my resources, and not giving them makes me the bad guy? If we’re being clear here, aren’t all of you

the unreasonable ones?”

The voice of the older woman argued, “Jo just likes that variety show. You’re the young lady of the Gray

Family now, while Jo has lost that status. Shouldn’t you compensate her? Moreover, Titus said he’d get

you a better opportunity in exchange. Why do you have to compete with Jo?”

Luca’s voice appeared. “I think you just can’t stand Jo, so you deliberately target her.”

Andrew’s voice chimed in. “Simone, can’t you just diligently be the young lady of the Grays? Why do

you have to cause trouble?”

Simone sneered. “Every one of you opened my eyes, truly. I never knew defending what’s mine makes

me the unreasonable one. You’re not only ignorant but also shameless. Firstly, I’ve never stolen

anything from her from the beginning. On the contrary, she replaced me and enjoyed a comfortable life

in the Gray Family for years. Secondly, you need to

understand that it was you who lost me back then. I don’t owe her anything, and I certainly don’t owe

any of you either. So, compensate what, exactly? As for the young lady of the Gray Family, she can

have it. I don’t care for it.”

The older woman’s voice rang. “What do you mean?”

Simone said, “I mean it literally. I’m cutting off all relations with you and leaving the Gray Family. In the

future, we’ll be like we used to be-just strangers when we meet. Your cherished adopted daughter will

remain the little princess of the Grays. You don’t need to worry that I’ll steal anything from her or snatch

your love for her. I’m just making things easier for all of you.”

These words made it clear who was trying to hog those resources, but the recording was not over yet.

Then came Jodie pretending to be innocent. The Gray Family members took turns. accusing Simone,

and Simone defended herself.

What was even more outrageous was that the Grays threatened Simone with resources and other

things.

Then, everyone enjoyed a big scoop. It turned out that Simone’s disappearance was caused by Aaron.

At last…

“From today onwards, I won’t serve you anymore. Do whatever you want. You didn’t publicly. announce

my identity, so I won’t have to announce it to the public either. Goodbye forever!”

The recording concluded at this point.

Upon hearing the recording, whether it was the individuals present or the numerous viewers watching

the live broadcast, they all felt a sense of pity and empathy for Simone. The recording was not brief.

However, it unveiled the attitudes of the Grays toward her. Based on the conversations, one could

envision the experiences she encountered upon her return to the Gray Family.

Additionally, it had shed light on Jodie’s role and position within the family dynamic. There were always

individuals asserting that Simone was being too harsh on her brothers. Furthermore, severing ties with

the Grays appeared to be a regressive step to move forward.

After all, they were originally a family, so why make things so tense and inflexible? Yet, after listening to

the recording, these individuals fell into silence.

Simone’s fans could not help but shed tears and feel remorseful for her in light of the hardships she

faced after being acknowledged by the Gray Family
