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.

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
