Chapter 325 Don’t Regret

Steven glanced disapprovingly at Salma. “This mess was caused by Jodie and Andrew. What does it

have to do with Simone?” He noticed that due to recent events involving his sons, they had become the

laughingstock of their relatives and friends.

His wife’s state of mind was somewhat unbalanced. Feeling embarrassed, she took out her anger on

Simone as well, arguing, “If she hadn’t fought with Jo, how could Andrew have gotten involved? After

all, he’s still her blood brother and is in such a miserable state. Shouldn’t she show some concern?”

He furrowed his brows. “What do you mean by this?”

Alice looked unhappily at her daughter-in-law. “I think it was Jodie and your son who started the

trouble, and Simone was just fighting back. Do you think it hasn’t been embarrassing enough? Do you

want to keep this up?” Her daughter-in-law was becoming more confused. It was Jodie’s issue, but

now, it became Simone’s problem.

Salma felt even more uncomfortable when her mother-in-law said this. “I’m also thinking about Andrew.

If he remains in this state, I don’t know what will happen to him. Simone is his sister. Since she can

help, why be so heartless? I just want to talk to her.”

Alice looked at her stubborn daughter-in-law and became furious. “Simone has cut ties with you. If you

confront her, it’s moral blackmail. Not only will it not improve the relationship, but it might push her

further away.”

Salma was unconvinced. “She’s my daughter. Is there anything wrong with me talking to her?” She had

the attitude that she would go no matter what.

Alice was infuriated. “Fine, keep being stubborn.” She turned to Owen. “Old man, since they’re here,

we don’t need to interfere anymore so as not to cause trouble.”

It was clear that Salma was dissatisfied with their interference. Since that was the would stop meddling.

case, they

Owen was equally unhappy. After they arrived today, they had been busy running around, but it did not

turn out well. That was why they disliked meddling in their children’s affairs before.

Thus, he wanted out. “Fine, let’s go back to the hotel and rest. We’ll return to Cebros early tomorrow

morning. Then, he looked at his son. “Take care of your family matters. Just make sure your wife

doesn’t regret it later.”

Salma was becoming more stubborn and failed to take other people’s advice. Once she made up her

mind, not even a team of horses could pull her back. Since that was the case, they would let her face

the consequences.

Not only did the few times they were called to Gray Manor for a lecture not work, but it also made the

other party resentful. If so, they would excuse themselves from the excessive work.

After saying that, Owen left directly with Alice. Seeing this, Steven could not help but follow them.

Then, he was scolded by his parents and returned to the room dejectedly. He looked at his wife with a

stern face. “They’re out of it. Are you happy now?”

He knew Salma had been resentful toward his parents ever since she was summoned back to Gray

Manor and was berated before the family.

She simply wished the old couple would stay out of it. “Why would I be happy?” It’s good that they’re

gone now. She was indeed happy, but she could not admit it. “After all, your parents are from a different

generation and can’t lower their dignity to find Simone. They feel

embarrassed. But I feel sorry for my son. So, I’ll find her.”

Seeing her like this, Steven knew she would not change her mind until she faced a setback. He said

helplessly, “Fine, go ahead. Just don’t regret it.”

In any case, he was too embarrassed to seek his daughter.

Salma sneered. “I didn’t expect much from you anyway.”

He frowned. “You should spend less time with Mrs. Foster.”

His wife had been getting close to Melinda during this period, and they often made plans to go out

together. Then, he realized that as time went on, his wife’s anger toward her daughter grew deeper.

Melinda never liked Simone and favored Jodie instead. She must have been instigating and

manipulating Salma, influencing her over time.

She unhappily refuted, “You even want to control who I make friends with. Aren’t you going too far? I

get along well with Mrs. Foster. What’s wrong with spending more time with her?”

Steven choked. “I just think there’s something suspicious about her, and she doesn’t have good

intentions in getting close to you. That’s why I advised you.”

She did not believe that. “You’re overthinking it. We used to have a good relationship. Now, we’re just

getting closer. Men don’t understand women, so don’t interfere.”

She now had a lot to say to Melinda, considering how her daughter was ruthless, always opposing her

mother. Melinda’s daughter was the same, deliberately embarrassing her,

His face became even uglier. “You’re simply being unreasonable.

She retorted, “You’re the one who’s being unreasonable

Seeing that the two of them were arguing, Andrew and Aaron were a bit confused. The latter

immediately stepped forward. “Mom and Dad, have you booked a hotel? Let me take you to rest first.”

It was a tactic to prevent them from arguing further.

Steven said, “Not yet. I’ll stay here tonight and keep watch.” He was still worried about Andrew.

Salma had a thought and said to Aaron, “Do you still have rooms where you’re staying? Book me two.”

She saw on the live broadcast that Tina and Simone were in the same group, so they stayed in the

same inn. With that, she could move there to find her.

Aaron felt uncomfortable and awkwardly said, “At this hour, there probably won’t be any available.” He

could not bear to have his mother and sister stay together.

She replied in displeasure, “Fine, you’re going against me too.” She then snorted coldly and left with

her bag. After going out, she had her assistant book a room in the inn.

As she left with a sullen expression, Steven and his two sons exchanged glances. How agitated, and

we didn’t even provoke her!

With a glimmer of hope, Andrew asked, “Dad, do you think Mom can get the artifact from Simone?”

Steven looked at him and sighed. “I think it’s unlikely.” He emphasized, “If she doesn’t come through,

don’t blame her. After all, what you did before was indeed excessive. Your mother was influenced and

became fixated on it.” He simply hoped his wife would not act impulsively, but she would not listen to

him now.

At that, Andrew forced a bitter smile. “I know. I have no right to blame her.”

Steven stayed behind with his assistant while Aaron returned to the Cubilis. Just as he entered the inn,

he saw his mother and her assistant walking in. His expression changed. “Mom, why are you here?”

Salma glanced at him and said, “Of course, I came to stay. Even if you didn’t help with the booking, I

could’ve asked someone else to do it.”

He felt a looming headache. “Then, should I take you to your room?”

She coldly snorted. “I can manage on my own.” With that, she went straight to check in with her

assistant.

He followed along and only relaxed when he saw his mother enter the room. Then, he nured around

and went back to his room. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and sent a message to

Simone. Morn has checked into the inn. She should be looking
