Chapter 388 Starting To Act Up

Upon hearing this, the other three also grasped the key point.

“Yes, yes, we’ll listen to you, Mom. Is that okay?” They had to go complain to their biological father.

Titus added, “From now on, you will be the matriarch of our family.”

“Just like Empress Dowager Foster, you will take pleasure in tormenting and bullying your own children

at home…”

Salma’s face finally relaxed when she heard the four of them compromise.

But when she heard the last two sentences, she became angry again. “You brat.

“Titus, get out of here.”

“When your father comes back, Ill make sure he deals with

The second son was indeed the worst among the siblings.

But he still didn’t receive enough punishment.

Upon hearing this, Titus previously pained face immediately turned into a smile.

He imitated the way characters in TV dramas do and saluted his biological mother. “Thank you,st

Matriarch Without waiting for his mother to respond, he immediately stood up and left.

The other brothers felt envious when they saw this.

They were about to call her “Matriarch.”

However, Salma understood her sons well and sternly said, “All three of you, shut up.”

“We haven’t finished eating yet, and no one is allowed to leave,

She then instructed the butler, “Go get another set of cutleries and a plate for Miss Jodie.”

When Salma wasn’t looking, Jodie cast a triumphant and provocative glance at her three brothers.

She realized that as long as she had her foster mother’s protection, her brothers couldn’t do anything

to her.

And she deliberately made herself look disheveled and haggard, pretending to be pitiful just now.

But she couldn’t elicit their sympathy and love anymore.

Jodje also understood that pretending to be obedient and acting was useless with these people. he

decided to do whatever made her comfortable.

These people were probably just hypocrites

The worse she treated them, the more they would come crawling back.

Wasn’t that how they treated Simone? So, she was prepared to do the same.

Then she looked at Salma with a grateful expression and said, “No wonder they say there’s no one

better than a mother in this world.”

“I was really hungry on my way back, and Mom is the best.”

Salma hadn’t heard such pleasing and caring words for a long time.

She smiled gently and said. Then cat more.”

“At night. I’ll have the kitchen make your favorite dishes.”

Jodie obediently nodded and said, “Okay, thank you, Mom!” Seeing Jodie’s triumphant glance and the

return of their motherly love and filial piety, Luca and his two brothers frowned.

Indeed. Jodie was just pretending.

When they didn’t buy into it, her true nature was revealed.

Unfortunately, their mother’s mind was not clear.

The three of them envied the fact that the second brother could run away while burying their heads and

not being able to eat.

On the other hand, after slipping away. Titus immediately called his father.

After listening, Steven’s face sank, mixed with helplessness.

Even he was scared of his wife’s recent behavior, let alone his sons.

So, originally, it was enough for the eldest son to go on a business trip, but he also followed

He knew that if he directly opposed it, it might stimulate his wife again.

So, let Titus and the other three stay at home and wait for him to come back before discussing it.

Titus suddenly felt bitter.

His father and older brother were going to visit several countries on this business trip, and it would take

more than half a month for them to return.

So, they had to endure the antics of the other two for more than half a month; just thinking about it gave

him a headache and a bit of a breakdown… After hanging up the phone, he didn’t return home.

Instead, he called Leon and Harold separately and made an appointment to go for a drink.

Fouter Family

Lean also suffered from the entanglement and torment of his mother. of receiving Titur call. He didn’t

hesitate to find an exruse and slip away

Harold was also entangled by Freya and agreed without hesitation.

The three of them gathered together and first poured out their grievances.

Harold listened to Leon and Titus talking about recent events.

His heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but say, “Freya has been acting a bit strange recently, always

trying to get close to me.”

“Or she creates various opportunities to have physical contact with me.”

“Could it be that she is also following the instructions of someone behind her and wants to target me?”

Titus raised an eyebrow at him. “Harold, you’re quite lucky! Did you accept it?”

Harold gave him a disdainful look, “I can’t afford such luck. You can have it.”

He was devoted to Gwen, so how could he accept it?

Besides, the other party was a “fairy” who could absorb energy at any time. He didn’t even have time to

hide.

He said meaningfully to Titus again, “Your luck’ has also arrived, right?” “Your little Jo has come back,

and your good days have come.”

Titus’ face, which had a teasing smile, instantly turned dark. “Don’t mention that troublemaker; we’re

still good friends.”

Whenever Jodie was mentioned, his mood became extremely bad.

Leon saw the two of them like this and couldn’t find any joy in their misfortune.

Although he didn’t have such a “fairy” by his side, he had a troublesome mother.

She had been pestering him recently, asking him for money to save his two cousins.

She also asked him to help the Stewards and give them money as well.

If he disagreed, she would keep an eye on him all day long-

He was really afraid of his mother, who kept helping her mom’s family.

Dad and big brother were not here, and he’s been through a lot… He said to Harold, “Why don’t you go

ask Simonc

Harold thought for a moment. “Alright, I can only trust Simone when it comes to these matters now.”

Leon said, “That’s right, trust Simone.”

Titus also said, “Yeah, you’re smart, bro

He sighed sgain Leon and suffered because we didn’t trust Simone before

Good pushed him angrily, Get lost, don’t involve me

He didn’t distrust Simone; he just made a mistake.

Harold messaged Simone in the group and told her about the situation, asking her what to do.

Simone told him to continue observing and to make sure to wear the protective amulet.

If anything strange or suspicious happened, find her immediately.

With Simone’s words, Harold felt relieved.

The three of them continued drinking and complaining about those annoying people.

In the following days, Jodie behaved well and obediently, staying by Salma’s side without causing any

trouble. She refrained from approaching or bothering Titus and the others who were avoiding her.

However, the sachet that Salma wore could no longer suppress the worms. Each day, the red spots on

her face and body increased, and the itching sensation intensified. Salma was tormented to the point of

breaking down.

On that day, after enduring a period of discomfort, Salma looked at Jodic with a pained expression.

Jodie said, “Mom, I know a master who might be able to help you.”

Weakened from her previous ordeal, Salma’s eyes brightened as she asked, “Really? Can he help me

get rid of the worms inside me?” Jodie replied, “I asked, but he can’t help you remove the worms.”

As Salma started to feel disappointed, Jodie changed the subject, “But he said he can help you transfer

the worms to another person’s body

“Find someone who has a blood relationship with you and shares the same zodiac sign, and they can

take over the worms.”

“It doesn’t have to be a close relative, as long as there is a blood relationship.”

Jodie wasn’t lying to Salma. This way, not only could she gain Salma’s gratitude and trust even more,

but also, although the person to transfer the worms was not Simone, it could still trap Simone.
