Chapter 474 Experiencing the Pain

Andrew was the first to regain his composure.

He asked uncertainly, “So, Simone and Mom had the same dream. Is that why she cut ties so

decisively?” Titus glanced at him and replied, “It’s obvious. What else is there to ask?”

Andrew, influenced by Jodie, was becoming more foolish by the day.

Andrew sighed. “No wonder she made that choice. If it were me, I would have done the same.”

“If Simone and Mom had the same dream, there must be a connection to this mysterious thing.

Otherwise, how could they coincidentally have the same dream?

He suddenly remembered something. “Could it be that she is like what’s written in a script, actually

reborn?” As a director, he had read many scripts about rebirth and time travel.

Simone’s situation was somewhat similar to rebirth.

Aaron said, “No way. Didn’t Mom also have the same dream?” He added with concern, “But she must

have experienced that kind of death, which is why she was so decisive.

Luca asked, “So now, there is actually a life separating us from Simone?” Andrew nodded. “Exactly.”

“According to what Mom said about the dream, even though we were all deceived by Jodie, Simone

can still be considered indirectly killed by us

Thinking about that dream, he also felt quire uncomfortable.

He self-deprecatingly said, “We gave up our own sister to choose a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Our

judgment must have been clouded.”

Titus thought for a moment and said, “It’s not just that. I also suspect that the kidnapper is connected to

Jodie.”

“Otherwise, how could such a coincidental thing happen, where both of them were kidnapped together,

and the kidnapper said they would release whoever we chose?”

“If the kidnapper was truly perverted, shouldn’t things have gone against his wishes? The more we

choose someone, the more he should have killed the person we cared about.”

“Suddenly, he said he had a terminal illness and wanted to seek revenge on the wealthy, so he shot

Simone.”

“This feels like someone behind the scenes deliberately trying to cover up.”

Andrew looked up at Titus and said, “That must be it.”

“After all, you’re the most perverted one in our family. Whatever you can think of, the perverted

kidnapper must have thought of it too.”

He continued to analyze. “If the kidnapper didn’t follow this plan, it means he’s not a real perverted

kidnapper from a news agency, but someone else is pulling the strings.”

“Based on our previous experience, this is most likely related to Jodie.”

Titus was speechless.

He impatiently replied, “If you can’t contribute, then say less.”

Andrew sneered. That’s how it is.”

Steven also fell into deep thought.

At this moment, he felt a pang of discomfort and regret. It turned out that Simone had experienced such

a harsh situation, which was why she didn’t want to have any relationship with them anymore.

If the version of him in her dreams or his parents were here, he would have chosen Simone.

After all, she was their biological daughter, and they owed her so many years.

However, it couldn’t be denied that he wasn’t much better than Salma and the others.

He was also an irresponsible father who didn’t care enough about Simone, who had returned.

Although he didn’t favor Jodie, he believed Salma and their sons’ words about Simone’s nonsense. He

wasn’t a good father, so it was no wonder Simone also resisted and disliked him.

It wasn’t just Simone, but also the same for his sons..

It was because of them that they were brainwashed by Jodie since childhood, making them worthless.

He sighed heavily. It’s all our fault. Simone can’t be blamed.”

Now, he really wanted to make up for those debts, but Simone resolutely refused, making him even

more distressed.

Just then, Salma, who had been lost in thought, suddenly looked ferocious. “It’s all Jodie’s fault.”

“If it weren’t for Jodie, Simone wouldn’t have been taken away.”

“If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t have severed ties with Simone.”

She started crying again. “If it weren’t for her, Simone wouldn’t have been killed by the kidnappers.”

The image of Simone’s hopeful and resolute expression before her death kept haunting her mind,

Whenever she thought of that scene, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Jodie not only indirectly killed Simone but also played tricks on their whole family.

She had raised her for so many years, so there must have been some emotional attachment.

That’s why she took in Jodie and even gave her money several times.

But Jodie not only didn’t appreciate it but also criticized her for being stingy and meall

What she couldn’t accept even more was that from childhood to adulthood, she transferred her love for

Simone to Jodie, treating Jodie better than her sons

But Jodie secretly maintained contact with her biological mother.

She had even deceived her before, saying that she was her only mother and the closest person to her.

But the look in their eyes and the intimacy in the photos couldn’t deceive anyone.

So, from beginning to end, in Jodie’s heart, her biological mother was the true family, and she was just

a pawn being used.

She had given over a decade of emotions, and this was what she got in return.

Jodie was truly an ungrateful person.

With a hateful look in her eyes, she said, “I will definitely not let her go.”

“I will seek revenge for Simone

The Gray brothers, including Titus, all felt a certain resonance when they saw their Salma like this.

Indeed, it’s only when the needle pricks oneself that one knows the pain.

They had advised her so many times, but she always treated Jodie as a treasure and treated them, her

own sons, like nothing

Titus said, “Mom, this is all your own loing.

“You’ve always favored Jodie since she was little, and you’ve always prevented us from bullying her,

treating her like a real sister and showering her with love and care.”

“People who are favored always feel invincible. Jodie, this ungrateful person, is the product of your

upbringing.”

Aaron couldn’t help but say, “Mom, if you can’t stand being used, played with, and deceived by Jodie,

then go seek revenge for yourself.”

“I don’t think Simone needs you to help her. Let her handle it herself.”

“If Simone really experienced everything in her dreams, then we are all responsible for her, and we

shouldn’t place all the blame on Jodie.”

After enduring constant belittlement and attacks from Simone, he had learned to introspect.

In reality, he was inclined towards the concept of Jodie’s rebirth, even though it appeared implausible

and mystical. Simone’s transformation was too abrupt,

Without personally experiencing it, how could one be wounded so profoundly and agonizingly?

This was why they felt remorseful. They had already caused her demise once, so how could they have

the audacity to approach her again and exploit her as a pretext for revenge?
