Chapter 50
Chapter 49 She Did It On Purpose
Simone gave Aaron a meaningful look and asked, “Are you sure you want me to tell you?”
Aaror: nodded firmly. “Yes, I want to hear it.”
He wanted to see what excuse she woulde up with to brush him off. What’s wrong with assessing
her brother? It made him ufortable that she was refusing him every time.
Hearing Simone’s words, Jodie suddenly had a bad feeling and reached out to tug at Aaron’s sleeve,
shaking her head to signal him not to ask further.
Simone noticed Jodie’s discreet actions.
Knowing how much Aaron doted on Jodie, he might actually drop the subject, so she preemptively.
answered, “Alright, then. If you insist, I’ll satisfy your curiosity. First, I don’t assess close rtives.
Second, I don’t assess colleagues, and third, I don’t assess myself.”
Jodie’s expression subtly paled, thinking that Simone must have done it on purpose. Since Aaron didn’t
fit the second and third categories, it left only the first one.
Jodie regretted not stopping Aaron earlier but med him for persistently pestering Simone when she
refused to assess him. Wasn’t that asking for trouble? Now, everyone would be surprised and curious
about their rtionship.
An idea emerged in her mind, and she casually reached for a peach from the table and started peeling
it with a fruit knife.
As expected, apart from Zac, Leon, and Keira, who knew about their rtionship, Eric, Le, and the
others at the scene all looked shocked.
Le couldn’t help but ask in shock, “Are you guys rted?”
But at that moment, Jodie suddenly yelled, “Ouch!”
Everyone turned to look at Jodie and saw that she had identally cut her index finger while peeling a
peach, staining it red.
She looked at her finger in a way that seemed like she didn’t expect to cut herself and then cast a
slightly distressed look at Aaron. “Aaron, my hand hurts.”
Upon seeing that, Aaron quickly took her injured finger and instinctively put it in his mouth to help stop
the bleeding.
Meanwhile, Leon got up and went to the kitchen to fetch the pack of Band–Aids they hadn’t finished.
from the cupboard. He gave it to Aaron. “Help her put this on.”
Only then did Aaron take Jodie’s finger out of his mouth and apply the Band–Aid for her.
With slightly teary eyes, Jodie said. “Thank you, Aaron.”
Then, she looked up at Leon and thanked him too. “Thank you, Mr. Foster.”
Leon smiled at her. “You’re wee.”
Jodie continued in remorse, “It’s all my fault for not being careful. Now that it hurts so much, washing
and cutting vegetablester will be inconvenient.”
She deliberately changed the topic.
Leon assured her. “Don’t worry about it. Since you injured your hand, you shouldn’t be cooking.
While Jodie’s actions now seemed like an ident, he felt she might have done it intentionally because
that would allow her to evade Le’s question. He suggested, “Since we’re being paid in cash today,
why don’t we find a family to share a meal with? We’ll pay them for the meal.”
Since Jodie didn’t want anyone to know about the rtionship between Aaron and Simone, Leon
decided to help her by diverting the conversation.
In the meantime. Jodie breathed a sigh of relief and felt slightly proud. Leon was helping her, which
would surely annoy Simone.
She smiled sweetly at Leon and nodded. “That’s a good idea. It’ll be a chance for you all to try
something different.”
Now, she wouldn’t have to work hard to cook dinner. More importantly, with this minor incident, the
matter Simone brought up earlier could be temporarily set aside. Jodie didn’t want others in the
entertainment industry and the audience to know she was Aaron’s adopted sister. It felt like her identity
was being downyedpared to Simone’s.
From the moment Jodie started to peel the peach. Simone had already guessed what she was up to.
Not only did she not bring up the previous topic, but she also deliberately changed the subject. And so,
Simone told Zac and the others. “You should rehearse with the children. The performance is
tomorrow.”
By doing so, she was leaving the audience curious and intrigued. Also, the more she behaved this way,
the more it meant she didn’t want anything to do with Aaron. Once everyone found out the truthter,
they would understand her actions.
Though Simone had realized Jodie’s wish, she hoped thetter wouldn’t regret itter. Of course, this
also gave Se mbag No. 2 more material to work with.
As for the fact that Leon had helped Jodie, Simone would certainly feel puzzled and upset if it were in

life. Also, she would be curious to know why he would choose to help and protect Jodie. But now, she
didn’t even have the slightest curiosity or desire to find out.
On the other hand, Zac had also noticed the situation. Not only was Jodie changing the Simone as
well, so he smiled and said, “Sure. Want toe and give us some pointers?”
topic, but

Keeping a little mystery is more intriguing, isn’t it? Simone nodded with a smile. “Let’s go.”
The four then brought the children for rehearsals.
Although Eric was curious, he held back his urge to ask. He could see that both Simone and Jodie
didn’t want to continue the topic.
Chapter 49 She Did It On Purpose.
On the other hand, Le wanted to get to the bottom of this. She didn’t believe that Jodie had
identally cut herself. How could such a coincidence happen? Clearly. Jodie feared her questions
would lead to Simone or Aaron revealing something important.
The mese she thought about it, the more she felt Simone and Aaron had a special rtionship. Are the
two of them rted! Or is it something more intimate than that?
Le wanted to pull the conversation back to the topic to make Aaron reveal more about it. Just as she
was about to speak, she raised her head and saw Leon giving her a warning gaze while holding his
back to the camera.
Startled, Le didn’t expect Leon to be so protective over Jodie. Since she wanted to continue her
career in the entertainment industry, she dared not offend Leon because he wasn’t just a great actor. It
was rumored that he had a strong background. As a result, she could only swallow the words she was
about to say.
‘Oh? Why aren’t they continuing?”
It’s so agonizing to leave the topic unfinished!”
“Why aren’t you guys answering Le’s question?”
‘Did Jojo do that on purpose?”
‘Her sudden act interrupted Le’s question.”
‘She must have done it on purpose. I saw it with my own eyes. She started peeling the peach after
Simone listed the three people she couldn’t assess.
‘Out of the three options Simone mentioned, Aaron seems to be the only one who fits.
‘It’s highly likely that it’s the first option. I haven’t heard of Aaron being involved in geomancy.
‘Oh no! Does this mean Simone and Aaron are actually rted by blood?”
“If you put it that way, doesn’t it also mean Simone and Jodie are rted?‘
‘But Simone hasn’t shown any interest in either of them since the beginning of this show. In fact, she’s
been quite distant.”
I’m really curious about the rtionship between these three people. I want to know
“Being stuck here is so frustrating. This is the first time I’ve disliked Jojo so much.”
I believe these three are somehow connected, and it’s definitely a big secret. Otherwise, Jojo wouldn’t
have identally cut herself
‘Can’t the paparazzi be more efficient? It’s been days, and they still haven’t uncovered the rtionship
between these three.”
“I want some gossip. Paparazzi, get on it!‘
Indeed, the paparazzipanies had been investigating Simone and Aaron’s rtionship for the past

few days. However, they had been approaching it from the perspective of a potential romantic
rtionship between the two.
So far, they had only discovered that Simone often apanied Aaron to dance practice and that they
had gone out for meals together privately. However, these details had already been exposed by them
or other sources previously.
After watching the live stream, they suddenly realized that these two were not lovers or ever
romantically involved. Could it be that they were actually rted by blood? The paparazzi teams were
like sharks smelling blood, swiftly moving to uncover the scoop.
They wanted to be the first to unearth this juicy information and secure the top headline.
The Heiress‘ Return & Revenge
Chapter 50 Be Embarrassed Again
The audience and fans were filled with curiosity, specting about Simone’s rtionship with the
siblings. The topic “What’s the Rtionship Between Simone and Aaron?” quickly became popr.
Many who hadn’t watched the show clicked in, intrigued by their curiosity.
They were then engulfed in a wave of curiosity and gossip. Previous rumors about Simone pursuing.
Aaron for resources seemed to have some truth, but the dynamics on the show surprised everyone.
Simone wasn’t clinging to Aaron or trying to cozy up to him; instead, she seemed dismissive and
indifferent. In contrast, Aaron often sought out Simone, almost inviting her to hurt him.
However, instead of immediately assuming they were siblings, the viewers spected that Simone
might be a close rtive of Aaron’s..
Meanwhile, in the Gray Residence, Salma and Steven attended another banquet while Luca stayed
locked in the room writing songs. Andrew was busy arranging the setup for the new drama. This left
only Reuben and Titus watching the livestream.
Titus scowled. “Aaron has really lost his mind.”
He just can’t stop seeking attention with Simone. Now, everyone’s specting about their rtionship.
Reuben furrowed his brows. “If someone uncovers Simone and Aaron’s true rtionship, wouldn’t that
be detrimental to jo?”
Titus nodded. “Exactly. Whether it’s in terms of identity or rtionship, it wouldn’t be good for Jo. There
have already been rumors suggesting that Aaron and Jo don’t seem like siblings but more like a
couple. Their interactions in the livestream were too intimate. If they are indeed siblings, while it might
be unconventional, people wouldn’t think too much of it. But if the true rtionship between them is
exposed, there’s a high chance some might start thinking in a more scandalous direction.”
He sighed. “This is my biggest concern.”
Reuben pondered for a moment. “How about we use some paid followers to spread the rumor that
Simone is Aaron’s cousin? Let’s prevent people from finding out about their actual rtionship. I’ve
been watching the livestream, and Simone doesn’t seem inclined to reveal their rtionship. As long as
she remains silent, this issue can be resolved.”
He added, “After this episode of the variety show ends, let’s all treat her a bit more kindly and coax her
back.”
Previously, he used to receive messages from Simone almost every day, like reminders to eat properly
and not skip meals. When he worked long hours, she would send him messages to remind him to get
up
and move around. If he came home too tired, she would use her special techniques to give him a
shoulder and back massage. It made him feelfortable and rxed. At first, he didn’t pay much
attention and thought she was being too talkative with the messages. Now that he was no longer
receiving those texts, he couldn’t get used to it. After working a day without getting Simone’s massage
when he came home, he felt ufortable all over. The next day, he woke up feeling tired, unlike
before when he would wake up refreshed.
Titus agreed. “Alright, once the variety show ends, let’s give her an escape route. She has a recording
of the day she left the Gray Family. It would be best to coax her into deleting it when she returns.
