Chapter 492 Extra From The Past (2)

Leon felt as if he was being tightly held by a strong grip, suffocating in pain.

“No, it can’t be.. My Simone can’t be dead”

He rushed into the emergency room.

Seeing the bed covered with a white cloth, he immediately rushed over and uncovered it.

Holding Sithone, he said. “Simone, don’t scare me… I’m really scared… Open your eyes and look at

me. I haven’t explained to you yet, so why did you fall asleep?” He was overwhelmed with panic, his

eyes red. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have chosen Jodie. As long as you wake up. I’ll do anything for you,

okay?”

Salma also rushed in, looking at her daughter, who was pale as a sheet.

“Simone, don’t sleep. Look at your mom. We didn’t choose you just now, not because we don’t love

you, but because we thought you were stronger and more capable of protecting yourself. Don’t scare

us. We were wrong. Wake up!”

Meanwhile, the Gray brothers couldn’t believe that their sister had actually died.

How is this possible?

However, Regardless of whether they could accept it or not, Simone was indeed dead.

Leon held Simone’s cold body and cried. ‘Simone, don’t leave me! You said we grew up together, and

we were supposed to be together for the rest of our lives: We’re not finished. I can’t let you go. I love

you!”

Salma and the Gray brothers also felt heartbroken and cried.

Leon held Simone’s body tightly and didn’t let go until evening.

Whenever someone tried to pull him away, he would collapse and hold onto Simone even tighter.

It was only when Adam heard the news and brought Melinda over that Leon finally let go.

Seeing his son like this, Adam couldn’t bear it either.

He didn’t expect Simone to die.

He had originally thought it would be better if Leon and this girl grew apart so as not to drag her into the

whirlpool of their family and harm her. However, things had now happened this way.

Adam tried to persuade Leon, but the latter didn’t listen at all. He just held onto Simone.

Melinda didn’t expect Simone to die either, but she thought it might be for the best.

This way, the Gray Family’s heiress would only be Jodie, and Simone wouldn’t have to be entangled

with her son anymore.

“Leon, she’s already dead. Are you crazy, holding onto a dead person like this? After such an incident, I

know you’re upset, but I hope you can be rational and calm down a bit

She then spoke in a commanding tone, “Let go of her and come home will!

With the way her youngest son cared for her and listened to her, he would still go home with her even if

he was in pain.

But at this moment, Leon was only filled with despair and anger.

He looked at his mother with bloodshot eyes and roared, “It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t insisted

on me protecting Jodie, how could I have chosen her first? My Simone was murdered, and you’re

happy about it, reveling in my misfortune. How could you be so cruel? Mom, do you hate me that

much? You had to harm the woman I love just to make yourself happy, didn’t you?”

Melinda didn’t expect Leon to say such words. She was so angry that she fell back. “Y-You scoundrel!

What are you saying?”

What did he mean by saying that I harmed the woman he loved?

“Are you crazy?”

Leon was filled with madness as he retorted, “Yes, I am. You two, get out.”

Melinda wanted to curse but was pulled away by Adam.

He wasn’t in the mood to pretend to comfort her now. He had his assistant forcefully send her away,

afraid of further upsetting his son..

Leon still held onto Simone, and in the end, Adam had to ask the doctor for a sedative.

When he tried to comfori Leon in the past, he hit him.

That was the only way to make Leon let go.

Meanwhile, Owen and Alice heard the news and rushed to the hospital with other members of the Gray

Family.

They didn’t spend much time with their granddaughter, but she was still part of the Gray Family

bloodline.

Their daughter-in-law and several grandsons had to be out of their minds to choose Jodie. Owen and

Alice couldn’t hold back and scolded Salma and the Gray Family brothers harshly.

Then, they went to take care of Simone’s affairs.

Steven also rushed back from overseas that night.

After learning the details, he couldn’t hold back.

With red eyes, he slapped his five sons. “You are all scoundrels! You killed your own sister!”

Then, he looked at Salma with disappointment and contusion. “And you… She is our daughter, and yet

you abandoned her,”

Salma cried and shook her head. “I didn’t want to abandon her! I didn’t know the kidnappers would kill

her!”

The fact that her biological daughter was shot because of their choices made her want to collapse.

Steven also wanted to collapse and felt immense guilt.

He was busy with work and neglected his daughter, resulting in such a tragic outcome.

Simone’s funeral was a day later.

Gwen received the news and rushed back from overseas.

She immediately rushed over and grabbed Leon’s collar.

She slapped him a few times and shouted, “I never expected that you would kill Simone for another

woman! Leon Foster, you are simply despicable! What right do you have to stay here with Simone?

You are just like Mrs. Foster, both heartless and cold-blooded animals!”

Gwen had already passed out on the plane once.

brother Her eyes were swollen now, and she cried and shouted, I am not related to people like you!

From today onward. Iam cutting ties with you. You are no longer my brother, and you don’t deserve to

be my either!

Then, she turned to Salma and the others. “Don’t pretend to be righteous here. Simone doesn’t want to

see your disgusting faces. You are not worthy of being her family. You are worse than animals! I will

take Simone’s ashes with me and give her a proper burial. She wouldn’t want to see any of you.”

Gwen then pointed toward the door. Ger out, all of you!”

Naturally, Leon and the Gray Family were not pleased.

But this time, Gwen was prepared. She had spent some money to hire a few mercenaries to forcefully

drag Leon and the Gray Family out

Her actions gained the support of Owen and Alice.

They also believed that their granddaughter wouldn’t want to see those who caused her harm.

So, they helped Gwen and prevented Leon, Salma, and the others from coming back.

Afterward, Gwen buried Simone next to her master’s tomb.

She even took all Simone’s belongings away from the Gray Family with mercenaries and burned them

all. She then announced in the newspaper and on Facebook that she had cut ties with her mother and

Leon.

After completing all of this, Gwen left the country, not wanting to stay in this place of heartbreak.

Later on, Leon quit all of his work and went to sit in front of Simone’s grave every day.

He reminisced about their memories and constantly admitted his mistakes.

Every day, he regretted his actions and missed Simone, feeling immense pain.

He ignored Gwen’s scolding and emotional appeals,

He didn’t care about his career or going home. He bought a house near the cemetery and stayed there,

guarding Simone’s grave every day.

As for the Gray Family, Steven knew he was also at fault, and he admitted it.

He didn’t know how to face his wife and sons.

And so, he resigned from the position of chairman of the Gray Group and directly applied to work at the

overseas branch.

With Steven leaving the company, Reuben, the heir, naturally lost his chance.

Especially when Owen was disappointed in this grandson and supported another grandson to take

over.

With Steven gone, although Salma and the Gray brothers allowed Jodie to stay at home, there was a

barrier deep down within their hearts.

They couldn’t move past the hurdle of Simone’s death.

Especially after Simone’s death, whether it was Salma or the Gray brothers, they couldn’t help but

constantly think of Simone’s care and thoughtfulness toward them in their actions. They regretted and

missed her even more.

They didn’t know how to cherish her when she was alive.

But after Simone’s death, they all realized how good of a sister she was and wished they could turn

back time to treat her well.

Afterward, Jodie borrowed luck from all the brothers.

Without Simone’s reminder this time, all of them gave it to her.

And then, they all faced continuous failures and setbacks in their careers, relying on the small shares

they had in the Gray Group to get by.

Then, Skyler exposed the fact that Jodie was siphoning their luck.

They finally realized that their misfortune was related to Jodic.

They also learned that the kidnapper and Jodie were actually colluding.

Back then, it was a conspiracy orchestrated by Jodie and her own biological brother against Simone.

They revealed that Simone’s disappearance years ago was not an accident but a joint effort by Jodie’s

biological parents.

Jodie becoming a foster child in the Gray Family was also a calculated move, all for the purpose

absorbing their luck.

Salma and the Gray brothers were completely devastated by this revelation.

Leon went even crazier, persuading Jodie to go out for a meal and driving with the intention of dying

together with her.

But at that time, Jodie had unbelievably good luck, and nothing happened to her, while Leon himself

ended up in a serious car accident.

He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair, still visiting Simone’s grave every day.

Salma and the Gray brothers wanted to seek revenge on Jodie, but they ended up being the unlucky

ones every time.

They became more and more destitute and unfortunate.

This made their feelings toward Jodie change from affection to resentment and a desire for her to suffer

or even die.

However, they couldn’t do anything to harm Jodie. They could only feel frustrated, helpless, and

suffocated.

They felt guilty and missed Simone, often visiting her grave and talking to her.

Ten years after Simone’s death, Jodie suddenly died.

At that point, Jodie looked like an old hag and was even more ugly and disgusting.

Salma, the Gray brothers, and Leon felt a great sense of relief, and tears of excitement streamed down

their faces.

This woman finally received her retribution, and it served her right! Meanwhile, their lives in the latter

half were not good, and they deserved it too.
