Chapter 326

Chapter 326 Regrettably, I’m Not Falling For Your Ploy Simone briefly contemplated and deduced that Salma was seeking her out due to Scoundrel No.4.

Moreover, she still held possession of that mystical tool Upon seeing the response. Aaron couldn’t help but chuckle and sigh. His sister was indeed astute, seeing through the situation immediately. He sent a voice message, echoing the words of the geomancy association’s head.

“My mother wishes to borrow your mystical tool to assist Andrew.

She responded, “Tell her not to waste her efforts”

He instantly knew that Simone wouldn’t lend it. It was predictable, after all. Once Simone made a decision, she was steadfast.

“We can’t sway her. Even Dad can’t dissuade her. Ugh!”

When his mother was irate, she wouldn’t listen to anyone.

Simone was indifferent. “Let me meet her, then”

Regardless, she wouldn’t give the other party any leverage.

Aaron recalled the conversation between his parents at the hospital, so he warned her. “Mom has been getting along well with Leon’s mother recently. Perhaps she’ll be provoked to cause you trouble.

Simone found it amusing. “She should exercise her critical thinking. How can she be provoked if she didn’t intend to?

If Salma hadn’t been so quick to believe Jodie’s words without question, why would she accuse Simone of always causing a stir! The thought processes of these two mothers were peculiar, and it was no wonder they were such good friends.

Aaron was at a loss for words. His sister had just insinuated that their mother lacked entical thinking.

Ah. what a headache.

In her room, Simone had just finished conversing with Aaron and was examining her master’s seal when she heard a knock on the door. Without a second thought, she knew it was Salma. However, she couldn’t be bothered to rise and answer the door.

Outside the door. Salma knocked persistently with her assistant, but no one responded. Thus, she reluctantly returned to her room.

An hour later, she knocked again, but Simone didn’t answer. After asking around, she discovered that Simone hadn’t left, which meant her daughter had deliberately ignored her. Feeling both furious and wronged, she thought Simone was being cruel by treating her this way. That night, she tossed and turned in bed due to her anger.

Simone, on the other hand, had a peaceful night’s sleep. The next morning, she woke up refreshed and went to practice martial arts. Then, she went to the restaurant to join the others During breakfast, Aron asked. “What’s our plan to earn money today?” Since arriving in Cabulis, he aut Leon had become mere spectaters.

After some consideration, she turned to Bailey, suggesting, “How about we make money through physiognomy?” She wanted to test him.

He nodded and smiled. “Sure, I’m well-versed in it Aaron and Leon were disheartened, as it was another task they couldn’t handle. “What about us?”

She replied. “We can collaborate. Why don’t you try being a stall assistant?”

Aaron, looking miserable, protested. “Can we not do that?” He tentatively suggested, “Can we help with attracting customers and moving tables instead?”

Leon also didn’t want to separate. It wasn’t about gaining an advantage but about being with Simone, even if it was just to observe her.

She didn’t mind. Whatever you guys prefer” She never expected much from these two teammates. As long as they didn’t cause trouble, she couldn’t care less about them.

Hearing her say that, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The other two groups were also discussing their money-making strategies for the day. After finishing breakfast, everyone had just risen to leave.

Just then. Salma walked in with her assistant. Seeing Simone’s radiant complexion, she felt even more upset. She had spent the night tossing and turning while this girl looked rejuvenated. She was the only one who was bothered by last night’s events!

Approaching Simone, she forced a smile. “Simone. I’d like to have a word with you…

Simone looked at her impassively. “Mrs. Gray, there’s nothing for us to discuss.”

Salma’s smile faltered, clearly not anticipating Simone’s refusal. She suppressed her anger and said “It’ll only take a few minutes of your time. I have something crucial to discuss with you.

Simone sat back down. Alright, go ahead.”

The live stream was still running, so she did this intentionally.

Just as Salma was about to speak. her assistant whispered something in her ear Her expression shifted, and she turned to face away from the camera Then, she looked at Simone and requested, “Can we talk outside?”

She had only thought about seeking Simone and almost forgot about the livestream. Naturally, she didn’t want to be on camera, let alone discuss those matters in front of an audience.

Simone declined. “If it’s something important, you can say it here. If not, you can forget it.”

Salma’s face darkened. “It’s important. That’s why I want to talk outside. She emphasized. “We should do it away from the camera.”

Simone flashed a smile. “As long as it’s not something scandalous, what’s the harm in saying it in front of Sam was taken aback Was Simone implying that what she wanted to say was scandalous’ Her anger a that point, erupted into fury. How could her daughter be so callous? Just like Melinda had said, a daughter like her was born to forment them.

She could tell that Simone didn’t want to go outside to talk. In front of the camera, she could only suppress her anger and say. “I want to talk to you about AndrewTM Simone shook her head. “There’s no need for that. I don’t want to hear it. And Mrs. Gray, let me remind you, we’ve already severed ties. So, I’m not obligated to help. Please remember that.”

Not expecting Simone to embarrass her m front of so many people and on a live by Salma felt humiliated. “Why are you so heartless? Regardless, you’re blood-related siblings” She was filled with disappointment and sorrow. He’s already in such a pitiful state. How can you just stand by and watch without trying to save him Whether it was on a live broadcast or in a crowd, she wanted to see if Simone could be so heartless and ignore her youngest brother. To her, they could only sever ties on paper but not in blood.

Simone scoffed Why didn’t you mention we were siblings when they treated me heartlessly? Mrs. Gray, your adopted daughter is the reason he’s in such a pitiful state. You should talk to her. She added with a meaningful tone. Your adopted daughter truly lives up to the values you taught her, just like clockwork. Playing the victim and gaslighting using moral coercion She had never realized before that Salma was such a hypocrite. She purposely expressed disappointment and accused her of being heartless during the live broadcast attempting to use moral coercion.

No wonder she had such a strong maternal love for Jodic. It turned out they were cut from the same cloth She shrugged, wearing an indifferent expression, and reiterated, “Regrettably, I m not buying into this Salma choked. furious. “You!””

How could this wicked daughter of hers speak so harshly? Was she referring to her as victim-playing?

She asked. “Are you really that heartless?

Sumone nodded. “Yes. I am I’ll discard what I have without helping these so-called blood-related siblings if I want to. After all, I learned to be ruthless from all of you.”

In this second chance at life, she simply wanted to live as she pleased. No one should try to influence or morally coerce her.

At that moment, she stared at Salma with cold eyes and declared, “So, save your little schemes. Alter saying that, she stood up and left directly, showing no interest in dealing with her mother.

It left Salma extremely embarrassed, for she had never experienced such public humiliation. Her biological daughter granted her that experience today.
