At that moment, the Gray brothers were watching both live–stream channels. While Simone was
ying various instruments, Jodic and the others performed on the town’s streets.
Jodie confidently yed a song on the guitar while Aaron danced in front of her. There was also crowd
around them, attracted by the lively atmosphere. However, not many of them recognized the
TWO.
As for Leon, he was more popr than the others, and some of the townsfolk had watched the dramas.
and movies he acted in.
By now, Jodie had finished ying the guitar in her live broadcast.
As someone who understood music, Lucapared the guitar pieces Simone and Jodie yed from
both live streams and then gave Titus a cold stare. He couldn’t help but quip, “Titus, I don’t think you’re
trying to ruin Simone. You’ve clearly sabotaged Jodie, What were you thinking when you told the paid
trolls to get Simone to y the same song as Jodie on the guitar?”
Titus fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say. “I only know Simone can y the violin. I had no
idea she knew how to y the guitar. I thought it would make Jo look better if Simone couldn’t y that
song.”
He didn’t know much about music. “I thought Jo yed quite well. Aaron even danced to her tune, and
the atmosphere was great.”
Luca couldn’t help but roll his eyes. “Jo did y well, but it was far from Simone’s. Jo only managed to
y the entire song, while Simone managed to convey the song’s emotions. Anyone who understands
music can hear that.”
After a moment’s silence, Titus realized he had done something wrong. Frustrated, he rebuked, “Who
knew Simone was so talented? I intended to help Jo.”
In his many years of being a manager, this was the first time he failed so terribly.
Andrew asked, “How are we going to save this situation?
Titus shook his head before muttering, “I don’t know either.”
This situation had him stumped as well.
At that, Andrewmented somewhat unpleasantly. “Simone kept that from us so well.”
It had been more than a year since Simone returned to the Gray Family, but she never told them she
knew how to y so many instruments. Andrew sighed again. “How sad would Jo be if she knew about
this.”
Jodie had always had a delicate mind and was quite sensitive. If she found out Simone had outshone
her, she would be devastated. Hence, Andrew suggested, “Why don’t we get those paidizens to
sabotage Simone from another angle?”
Simone seemed indifferent about everything, so she wouldn’t mind getting hated.

But Titus gave it a thought and rejected the idea. “That’s not doable for now. If we get the trolls to
sabotage her from another angle, it would make it very obvious. The audiences aren’t fools. Also,
Jonah has quite a status in the entertainment industry, and angering him will do us no good.”
There wasn’t a show Jonah directed that wasn’t popr. Moreover, Titus had several artists under his
wing. If he were to offend Jonah, it might cause his other artists to get rejected from joining popr
variety shows, which would be a huge loss for him.
With a thunderous expression. Andrew asked, “So, should we just watch as Simone outshines Jo?
Simone has already taken away Jo’s identity and wants to steal her poprity. Titus, you’ve ruined
everything!” After all, Simone wouldn’t have gotten such a good opportunity to show off her talent if
Titus hadn’t intervened.
Titus nced at him. “Are you ming me? I tried to sabotage Simone for Jo, but now it’s my fault that
something happened.”
If this hadn’t been for Jodie, he would be crazy to get trolls to sabotage his biological sister.
Andrew choked before muttering. “I didn’t say it was your fault. What I mean is that we need to find a
chance to make things right.
Titus rebuked coldly. “Of course, I know we must make things right. I don’t need you to remind me, but
this episode is about to end, so it won’t be easy to make a turnaround. Let’s wait for the next episode.
Get Jo ready to make aeback. I believe she will definitely outshine Simone,”
Left with no choice. Andrew nodded. “Fine. Once this show ends, I’ll get jo to act in the uing
series I’ll be directing. I think that’s a good chance to hype her poprity.”
He touched his chin and suggested, “It’ll be better if we can persuade Simone to y the supporting
role. She can be a viinous character, cunning and malicious. It will greatly contrast the innocent and
kind–hearted female lead. If Simone ys that role and Jo ys the female protagonist, the audience
will surely change their view of Jo and may even turn against Simone.”
After all, the audiences would always develop feelings for characters on television and bring their
emotions to reality.
Titus understood Andrew’s intention and nodded in agreement. “Once this episode ends, go and look
for Simone. Try your best to persuade her to take on the supporting role in your series.
If they seeded in their n, they could change the audiences‘ opinions about Simone and Jodie.
“But the most important thing now is to get Jo to stand out in the next episode so that she can starkly
contrast Simone. That way, the fans Simone gained now can change into Jo’s fans.”
The fans gained on variety shows aren’t as solid, so there is a possibility they would switch sides at any
moment. That is the point the Gray brothers tend to use.
Andrew agreed to that. “Okay. Once they return home after this episode, I’ll go look for Simone.”
After all, Simone still somewhat respected and cared for him. Before, he needed a cameo for one of his
series and asked her for help, which she agreed to.
His profession is quite challenging. During the summer ofst year, he had to shoot a series in the
Chapter 44 You Ruined Everything
wilderness and suffered quite a bit. When Simone found out about it, she would make refreshments
almost every day and send them to his film set for him. Whenever he didn’t have the appetite to eat,
she would make medicinal meals and something appetizing to bring to him. Besides that, she also
made a cooling sachet for him to wear, which was quite effective. Therefore, he was confident he could
persuade her to take on the role.
Once Jo bes popr, he would find a way to make it up to Simone. For example, he could even
give Simone a leading role in his new series.
“As for how to make Jo stand out in the next episode, I’ll leave that to you guys.” He isn’t particrly
good at that.
Titus pondered for a moment and turned to Luca. “Luca, you can write a song for Jo. I heard they will
head to arger city for the next two episodes and might even head abroad. Write a song for Jo and tell
her to say that she wrote it herself. Make her look like a talented artist.“
Since the n to make Aaron and Jodie appear close and for Jodie to have a likable personality failed
in this episode, it would be best to change to a different image for the next episode.
Andrew agreed with the idea. “Simon was able to showcase her knowledge and skills in this episode,
and it seems like the audience enjoys that. I think portraying Jo as a talented artist is a good idea.
He then suggested, “Or we can present her as a prodigy. After all, she graduated from a well–known
school overseas. It would be even better to find an opportunity for her to y the piano. That’s her
major, and it would certainly impress the audience.”
Luca added, “Jo is excellent at ying the piano, so I think this might work. Moreover, that is her
specialty, so Simone won’t be able topete with Jo in that aspect.”
Titus agreed. “Okay. I know what to do now,”

He put on a confident look, waiting for Jodie to return so that he could guide her on how to defeat
Simone. He was certain that he would not fail again.
Reuben, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. “If they are going overseas for the next
episode, that would be advantageous for Jo.”
Jodie hadpleted her college studies abroad, so she had an advantage in terms of understanding
thenguage and customs.
“I’ll have my secretary discuss this with Jonah once this episode ends. He narrowed his eyes. “If they
are nning to go overseas, I’ll sponsor them.
Upon hearing this, the other Gray brothers immediately became interested. “That’s a great idea.”
After all, who would reject sponsorships? Given Jonah’s character, it was very likely that he would
agree
to it.
Following that, Luca was asked to write a customized song for Jodie.
Meanwhile, Titus instructed the trolls to change their approach. Instead of sabotaging Simone, they
were to promote Jodie.

On the other hand, Simone had no idea that her despicable brothers were nning to scheme against
her. After finishing ying the instruments, she gained more approval from her fellow teammates and
the elder, who then began teaching her how to y the apaniment for shadow puppetry.
Simone was bright and quick–witted, not to mention able to grasp things easily, so she learned
everything the elder taught her and executed it wlessly.
The elder looked at her, feeling disappointed. “You have such great talent.”
It was a pity that she was a celebrity and couldn’t enter the shadow puppetry industry. Otherwise, he
would really like to introduce her to his friends in Cebros.
But upon further consideration, he realized there was nothing wrong with introducing her to his friends
even if she didn’t pursue a career in this industry. Therefore, he decided to invite his friends over
tonight and have a chat with them.
Meanwhile, Simone quickly learned the apaniment for shadow puppetry, so the elder then
instructed Zac and the others on how to perform shadow puppetry and do voice–overs.
Since Zac had previous acting experience, his skills weren’t bad. Additionally, Eric was a talented actor,
so they quickly grasped the techniques.
On the other hand, Keira, being a singer, was slower in this aspect, but she wasn’t unintelligent and
soon caught on after a few practices.
By the end of the afternoon, the four of them were able to put on a shadow puppetry performance,
although it still needed some polishing
The elder had a favorable impression of them because he noticed their earnestness in learning and
theirck of disdain or displeasure, He said, “Come practice again tomorrow, and you’ll be ready to
The four nodded in agreement. “Sure!”
The audience felt that the four of them did well, especially Simone, who left a strong impression on
everyone. They couldn’t help but look forward to the performance in two days.
Meanwhile, in town, Jodie and the others were not having much luck with their n to earn money by
performing on the streets.
