Chapter 75 Settling the Score
Salma stared at Jodie and the others, her mind filled with questions. When did her sons and adopted
daughter be like this? When Jo first arrived, all five sons resisted and mored for a sister.
Especially the youngest, who would wake up crying and searching for his lost sister every night. He
became listless andcked vitality.
They sought help from a master who suggested that Jo should be called by Simone. This would not
only help them find their biological daughter in the future but also bring happiness and prosperity to the
Gray Family. The master also rmended that Jo sleep with the youngest at night to help suppress
his nightmares.
Initially, the youngest resisted, but after a few days, his attitude toward Jo slowly changed. He no
longer woke up from nightmares, and his mental state began to improve with Jo’spany. They
developed a close bond, and Jo integrated herself into the lives of the other sons, improving their
rtionships with each other. The boys no longer ranted about looking for their sister.
Salma wondered when the dynamics started to reverse. The sons, apart from doting on Jo, would
worry and pamper her. She remembered the incident when the eldest son princess carried Jo upstairs,
iming that Jo had fallen asleep on the couch. The sons wouldpete to carry Jo when the family
went out, and they happily helped her finish her meals. If anyone else had asked them to do that, her
fussy sons wouldn’t have done it, but they happily helped Jo.
Initially, Salma was pleased with the rtionship between the adopted daughter and the sons, thinking
of it as sibling–like. However, now she felt a chill down her spine, questioning if her sons were treating
Jo as a sister or something more inappropriate. This is preposterous. They can’t treat their adopted
sister like that. She’s a girl, Salma had never taught her about the difference in sexes, so she might not
know to stay away from the boys. But you boys are older than her. You should know better.
Salma’s anger grew as she thought about it.
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Jodie noticed a sharp gaze shooting at them and saw theplexity and anger on Salma’s face. Jodic,
seekingfort, sat next to Salma and hugged her, expressing her grievances. Her eyes were red,
and she said, “Mom, they’re all cursing me. I’m so upset.” Jodie had gotten used to beingforted by
her brothers and had forgotten to restrain herself in front of Salma.
If this was in the past, Salma probably wouldn’t think too much about it, but after the Inte’s rumors
went wild and talked about how she was flirting with Aaron and looked more like a couple than siblings,
everyone was starting to take it the wrong way. Salma must be keeping an eye on the Intetely, so
she couldn’t let Salma misunderstand this. Jodie believed that Simone was behind all of this, intending
to harm her.
Ever since the livestream began, Simone hinted that Jodie and Aaron shared a close rtionship. Now,
a lot of people were reying the show and taking a screenshot of all the intimate actions between
Jodie and Aaron. Then she set up a trap for her and Leon and dragged Titus and Aaron into this,
making them look like they were having a sordid rtionship. She did it on purpose. To hurt me.
Determined to settle the score, Jodie continued to hold Salma and express her grievances. “Mom, I.”
Salma froze up at first when Jodie held her. Salma, listening to Jodie’sints, felt her anger
dissipate and patted Jodie on the back. She did raise this child, and she patted her, feeling concerned
for her.

“Reuben and Titus are investigating the mastermind behind the scenes. Once they find out, they will
seek revenge for you. Don’t be upset.” Salma reassured Jodie.
Jodie rubbed her shoulder against Salma’s and expressed her happiness to have them as her family
Salma smiled. “We raised you Of course, we have to be nice to you.” But she couldn’t let the matter go
just yet. She coldly looked at her five sons and criticized their behavior as uneptable. She
emphasized the need to maintain a certain distance between men and women, especially with Jo
Salma warned them to be more careful and avoid hugging and embracing fo and any overly intimate
gestures
Aaron, remembering the onlinements, felt furious and awkwardly replied that he understood
Andrew and Luca didn’t see any problem with their behavior, as they had always treated Jo like a
sister. Andrew defended their rtionship, stating that it was the outsiders who had twisted thoughts:
Salma scolded them, reminding them that they were adults and that sibling rtionships should avoid
such gestures to maintain proper manners. She then turned to Jodie and advised her to be careful well.
Jodie disagreed in her heart, knowing that she had subtly fostered a close and protective rtionship
with her brothers over the years. She considered them all as her own.
What if their rtionship became distant in the future? However, she obediently nodded and said,
“Mom. I didn’t understand these things before, but I will listen to you and be more cautious in the
future.”
In front of Salma and her noodles, Jodie was obedient, considerate, and well–behaved, never throwing
This was one of the reasons why Salma liked to spoil her.
Salma finally said with satisfaction. “You are the most well–behaved
She looked sharply at her sons and asked, “Did you hear that? She didn’t notice that Jodie, who was
int her arms, winked at her brothers.
They all replied. “Yes, we heard it, and we will be more careful in the future.”
They all said that, but they didn’t take it too seriously.
However, they did need to be more cautious with outsiders in the future; otherwise, it would damage
Jo’s reputation.
For now, this matter was considered resolved.
Salma suddenly remembered something that had made her feel uneasy before
She asked Jodie, “What’s going on between you and Leon?” Jodie had already prepared how to
respond. to Salma and the others.
She said with even more grievance, Leon and I are innocent. We met privately because Melinda likes
me, and he would bring me gifts. That so–called couple pendant was also given to me by Melinda, and
neither Leon nor I knew about it before. Simone misunderstood the situation, but when Leon tried to

exin, she didn’t want to listen. This misunderstanding has caused everyone to have the wrong
impression of us.”
Hearing Jodie’s words, Salma felt relieved.
It was just a misunderstanding.
This kind of thing could be rified by asking Mrs. Foster so Leon and Jo couldn’t be lying.
And Jo had indeed been favored by Mrs. Foster since childhood.
As long as she wasn’t stealing her biological daughter’s boyfriend, Salma could have a sound
conscience.
“Oh, I see. It was just a misunderstanding.”
She then said to Titus, “Go find Simone and offer her the best contract with thepany’s finest
resources. This will serve aspensation for her
She paused and added, “It’s also a good opportunity to bring her back. She’s a Gray Family heiress.
Living in a small apartment like that is just not right.”
She wanted her daughter toe back but couldn’t bring herself to ask, so she sent her second son
instead.
