    Afterpleting their duties for a tourist group, Aaron and his team received their payment for


    trantion services,


    Aaron turned to Leon and Tina, suggesting. “Shall we call it a day and go for afternoon tea?” Leon and


    Tina were somewhat puzzled “Afternoon tea?” Uninterested, they were prepared to decline when


    Aaron deliberately piqued their interest by saying, “I heard that Simone and the others went to a


    specialty restaurant for afternoon tea, so Luca and I also want to try it


    out.


    Upon hearing that Simone and her friends were there, Leon and Tina instantly changed their minds and


    agreed. “Sure! Let’s go and try it out.”


    Tina even smiled and proposed, “We have enough money for afternoon tea if we have a simple dinner


    tonight and continue staying at the hotel we stayed atst night.”


    “Then, what are we waiting for? Let’s go,” Leon eximed.


    Another day, another chance for them to see Simone.


    Hence, the four of them hailed a cab and headed to the restaurant.


    When they arrived downstairs, Andrew happened toe upstairs. As soon as he entered, he noticed


    Simone sitting with a group of people,ughing and talking.


    As a well–known emerging director, Andrew didn’t want to be caught on live camera.


    Therefore, he contacted Jonah and asked him to request the staff to bring Simone over.


    Even though Jonah agreed to make the request, he wouldn’t force Simone if she was unwilling to


    Afterward, a female staff member approached Simone and whispered something in her ear.


    Simone looked up, nced toward the entrance, and saw Andrew standing there, acting affectedly.


    He even took the initiative and waved at her after noticing her gaze.


    Simone wasn’t surprised that Andrew showed up.


    Among the Gray Brothers, Andrew is the one who dotes on Jodie the most.


    He, too, was the one who picked on me the most because of Jodie when I was still acquainted with the

    up, and walked over.


    Since Sembag No. 4 hase to find me. I will make him regret it.


    Simone approached Andrew and asked coldly. “What do you want with me?” Andrew found Simone’s


    cold attitude distasteful.


    When we lived together in the past, this biological sister of mine gave me the cold shoulder after I


    lectured her for bullying Jo.


    For others, she would prepare medicinal meals, specifically make throat lozenges, and express her


    concern for their well–being.


    But when it came to me, it was merely having medicinal meals with others.


    I even had to consider her mood when I asked for a massage.


    At first, in an attempt to improve our rtionship, I asked her to apply her geomancy knowledge and


    help me determine the best date to start my movie filming.


    But in the end, we argued due to Jo’s situation and parted ways unhappily.


    Our rtionship had be increasingly strained since then.


    “I just want to ask. Why did you treat Jo-” However, Aaron, who rushed over, interrupted before he


    could finish his sentence.


    Aaron swiftly approached Andrew and asked, “Andrew, what are you doing here?”


    Meanwhile, Andrew looked at him with a puzzled expression. Didn’t we just talk on the phone? Just as


    he was about to speak, Aaron put his arm around his shoulder and added, “It’s been a while since we


    last met. Come on. Let’s go somewhere and talk.


    Then, he smiled at Simone. “Please continue with what you’re doing. We won’t bother you.”


    Andrew still wanted to say something, but Aaron forcefully dragged him away by the shoulder.


    Since Aaron had entered the building first, the cameraman filming the livestream was still behind.

    For Simone, she curled her lips when she saw Aaron dragging Andrew away.

    Well it doesn’t matter. I have plenty of opportunities in the future to deal with Sc*mbag No. 4.


    For that reason, Simone didn’t mind and returned to her original seat.


    Andrew, who got dragged to a corner, shook off Aaron.


    Looking displeased, he asked, “What are you doing?” Instead of answering him, Aaron pulled Andrew


    to hide behind arge pot of green nts.


    Not only did they avoid Simone and the livestream camera, but they also avoided the cameraman who


    had just entered.


    I’m here to stop you, of course, he whispered.


    Andrew was speechless. “Why would you stop me? Are you out of your mind?” Aaron gave him a


    disdainful look. It’s you who’s out of your mind. Dad asked me toe.”


    After hearing what he said, Andrew was shocked. “Dad asked you toe? For real?”


    “Well, duh! Do you think I would make up rumors about Dad? And it’s not just Dad; Mom is here as


    well. They should bending soon.”


    Salma had called Aaron before boarding the ne.


    Andrew’s expression changed. “How did Mom and Dad know that I’m here?” Then, he looked at Aaron


    with suspicion. “Did you and Luca betray me?” Aaron confidently replied, “Of course


    NOL


    Ha! There is no way I’m going to admit it.


    “You went on a vacation to rx the moment Jo got injured and hospitalized. With such coincidental


    timing, do you seriously think Dad couldn’t figure it out? He even guessed that you woulde to


    bother Simone. So, he instructed me and Luca toe and stop you, no matter what.


    Andrew’s expression turned somewhat ghastly. “Dad is quite good at guessing”


    Then, he asked, “And Mom? Why is sheing?” Aaron replied, ‘She’s here to bring Jou


    and look after her.”

    Forse he has raised Jo for so many years, Aaron said perfunctorily.


    He pulled Andrew and continued, “Let’s go. I’ll take you downstairs. You go to the airport to. pick up

    and continue to look for Simone.


    But because of his parents, he had to dismiss this idea temporarily.


    Andrew figured that if he couldn’t talk to her this time, he could always talk to Simone the next time he


    appeared on the variety show.


    Therefore, he followed Aaron downstairs and was pushed into the car by him.


    Seeing Andrew leave, Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.


    Finally, this guy is gone.

    It’s too early for him to face Simone’s wrath now. He should experience it in the next episode of the


    pariety show


    Judging by how mischievous Andrew is, he probably will suffer even worse than Luca.


    Aaron returned upstairs and saw Tina had gone to Simone’s table.


    Sitting beside Simone, she looked like an adoring fan who was favored by Simone.


    Meanwhile, Leon and Luca, each holding a cup of coffee, nced over with a hint of resentment in


    their eyes.


    Aaron walked over and sat down. Then, he nodded at Luca, indicating that he had cared for


    Andrew.


    Just like that, the three of them sat there and sipped their coffee while stealing nces at the


    other table.


    As they listened to their conversation andughter, they instantly felt a twinge of envy.


    On the other side, Andrew went to the airport and was greeted by Steven’s assistant.


    They waited for a while, and Salma emerged with her personal assistant.

    twice, Andrew approached her with a smile. “Mom!” Salma coldly nced at him and


    red his greeting,


    Then, the four of them proceeded to the hospital. In the car, Salma remained silent, which made


    Andrew anxious.


    Once they arrived at the hospital, Jodie immediately put on a pitiful expression upon hearing the sound


    of the door being pushed open.


    But when she saw who entered, her expression froze.


    What’s my adoptive mother doing here in person? And why is my adoptive father’s assistant


    apanying her? Despite thinking of these, Jodie immediately put on a cute and surprised smile.


    “Mom, why are you here?” Compared to before, Salma’s attitude toward Jodie had be much


    colder.


    She replied, “I heard that you were injured, so I came to bring you back to Corynthea for recovery.”


    With a hint of authority, she continued, “It’s toote today. I’ve arranged for the flight tickets tomorrow.


    We’ll go back together.”


    Even though Jodie didn’t really want to go back, she didn’t dare to refuse.


    Hence, she could only pretend to be happy and grateful. “Mom, you’re so kind to me. You even


    specially made this trip to pick me up. I’m so lucky.”


    In the past, Salma would have felt sweet and happy upon hearing such words,


    But now, she couldn’t feel happy, no matter what.


    Still, she forced a smile and said, “I have raised you. Of course, I care about you.”


    After spending some time in the ward, Salma imed to be tired from the journey and returned to the


    hotel to rest.


    She also insisted on taking Andrew with her, leaving only her personal assistant to take care of Jodie.


    Simone and the others moved to a different luxury hotel today.


    After asking someone to inquire about this information, Salma asked Steven’s assistant to book the


    same hotel for her.


    She specifically even watched the livestream and waited on the lobby couch several minutes. before


    Simone and the others returned to the hotel.
