Chapter 129


    Chapter 129 Simone Must Be Doing It On Purpose


    Tax and Harold’s choices were indeed unexpected for Simone.


    Truth be told, she had never considered killing Titus.


    She would only retaliate in the same way he harmed her.


    Since he wanted to tarnish her reputation on the jinte, Simone turned the tables and


    armshed theirs.


    The negative energy she had inflicted on them before was just a minor trick to mess with them.


    As Master Shane had said, it wouldn’t harm their bodies.


    Furthermore, the negative energy had long dissipated. Its only effect was amplifying the subconscious


    pain in their injured areas.


    It was simr to phantom pain.


    For that reason, Master Gordon’s mystical tool could alleviate and suppress their pain.


    Moreover, the greater the pain, the more it helped to clear one’s mind.


    As Titus always had a screw loose in his head, Simone figured it was good for him to regain


    some rity.


    She was proven right since Titus could think clearly now.


    Of course, the past couldn’t be erased.


    Therefore, even if Titus became normal and started caring about her, she would never forgive and


    reconcile with him.


    As long as they didn’t have any ill intentions toward her or take the initiative to harm her, she wouldn’t


    seek revenge on them and vice versa.


    As for Steven, Simone couldn’t deny that he was apetent chairman in his career. However, he


    failed as a father.


    Not only did he neglect me, but he also neglected his five sons.


    He only demanded more from Reuben, considering he was the future heir, after all.


    On the other hand, his other sons were left to their own devices.


    Steven could still ept it as long as they didn’t get involved in illegal activities, even if they were just


    yboys who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun.


    Such was the tradition of the Gray Family. Other than the heir, the rest of the children were left to their


    own devices.


    Outwardly, it might seem like the open-mindedness of the elders of the Gray Family.


    However, Simone spected that they probably didn’t want the other siblings to be overly outstanding,


    fearing that it would lead to conflicts over the family inheritance and affect the development of the Gray


    Family.


    What they solely wanted was for the heir to have outstanding abilities.


    Even though they would still pay attention to the others if they werepetent, it would. never surpass


    the heir.


    If theycked business acumen, they would just hold onto their shares, receive annual dividends, and


    be free to do whatever they pleased.


    That was why, apart from Reuben being a tyrannical president, Steven showed his support instead of


    opposing or hindering when his other sons, Jodie, and Simone entered the entertainment industry.


    As Steven had always paid attention to the Gray Group and his work, and coupled with Jodie’s


    excellent disguise, he didn’t realize that his sons had been influenced and led astray by his adopted


    daughter since childhood.


    Now that he had realized it, it was toote.


    Steven didn’tpletely ignore Simone, but he didn’t pay much attention to her either. Among the


    entire Gray Family, Steven was considered rtively normal.


    Unlike others, Steven didn’t deliberately favor Jodie and target her.


    In Simone’s previous life, Steven was still abroad on his business trip and wasn’t present at the scene


    when she and Jodie were kidnapped.


    For that reason, she didn’t know how he would choose.


    Nevertheless, his choice didn’t matter anymore


    His past inaction had left her with no expectations or feelings toward him.

    For her, it was toote for him to realize his mistake and want to make amends now.


    No matter how the Gray Family changed, she would never step foot into the Gray Residence


    in this lifetime.


    It was even more impossible for her to continue being a family with them.


    In her birth certificate, there would only be herself, and that would be the only oue.


    If anyone wanted to condemn her for being heartless and cold, so be it. She didn’t care.


    Gwen turned her head and asked, “Simone, do you want to relieve Sc*mbag No. 2 and Harold’s pain?”


    Upon hearing that, Simone nodded. “Yeah. Originally, I just wanted to teach them a lesson. If these two


    geomancy masters and Jodie insist on interfering, then let them continue this act.”


    With Steven’s shrewdness, he should be able to see through the ws.


    After she finished speaking, she gestured a few times in the air.


    Then, she pointed at Titus and Harold in the surveince footage. “Break!”


    On the other side, Harold didn’t hesitate or show reluctance after hearing what Master Gordon said.


    He handed over the jade in his hand. “Thank you, Master Gordon!” This little pain is nothing. I can


    endure it for ten days to half a month.


    Still, Simone is indeed ruthless. I might want to avoid her in the future.


    Master Gordon didn’t expect Harold to have such a high tolerance for pain.


    Despite retrieving the jade with a smile on his face, he wasn’t happy in his heart.


    Jodie, on the other hand, didn’t want to return the bracelet. Hence, she didn’t make a move.


    “I can’t bear the pain. Master Gordon, can you let me wear it for a few more days? I promise to return it


    to you once I’m better.”


    She knew that Master Gordon wanted the mystical tool back only to force Titus and Harold to make a


    choice.


    By saying this, she wanted to stimte her other two brothers to continue helping her.


    She wanted to make theme forward and make Titus drip his blood to break the spell.


    Master Gordon understood her intentions. Smiling apologetically, he shook his head. “Our sect has


    rules that prohibit lending or selling this mystical tool. I lent it to you just now because I’ll be back soon,


    and you didn’t take it outside. So, it doesn’t count as an exception.”


    Upon seeing Jodie behaving like this, Steven involuntarily frowned.


    Jodie and the two masters seem a bit off.


    It’s as if they’re trying to force Titus to drip his blood through various excuses.


    Looking at Jodie, he spoke unhappily. “Jo, don’t force others to do things they don’t want to do.”


    Not only is this adopted daughter of mine petty, but she alsocks moral vigor.


    She insists on borrowing it even when others refuse, which is embarrassing.


    The more Steven indulged in his train of thought, the more he wondered if she acted like this because


    she was in pain. Meanwhile, Jodie felt a sense of resentment toward him, thinking that he was being


    too controlling.


    But outwardly, she obediently nodded and handed the bracelet to Master Gordon.


    After Master Gordon took it from her, Jodie suddenly felt a sharp pain. She crouched down. and


    hugged herself, trembling in pain.


    When Andrew witnessed the situation, he couldn’t help but express his concern, “Dad, you’re really


    pressuring Jo into doing something she doesn’t want to do! You’ve forbidden the masters from


    resolving the spell, and now you’re insisting that Jo returns the bracelet. Can’t you see that Titus and


    Jo are in great distress?”


    Steven red at him angrily and retorted, “Keep quiet!”


    However, Andrew stubbornly replied, “I won’t.”


    Just then, Titus and Harold noticed that the pain in their injured areas was gradually subsiding.


    In an instant, they exchanged surprised nces Are you still experiencing any pain?” They both shook


    their heads simultaneously. “Suddenly, the pain is gone.”


    “In that case, we no longer need this mystical tool,” Harold said with a meaningful tone.


    He spected inwardly that Simone must have done something.


    Titus nodded and turned to Steven, saying, “Dad, we’re no longer in pain. Simone must have resolved


    the spell.”


    Based on the appearance of these two masters, they don’t seem like the ones who have broken the


    spell for


    1.


    Therefore, it must be Simone’s doing


    Jodie abruptly looked up. “Titus, I can’t believe you would lie just to avoid resolving the spell


    As she was still experiencing a great deal of pain, she firmly believed that Titus was being


    dishonest.


    Raising his eyebrow, Titus said, “I wouldn’t lie about this. I genuinely don’t feel any pain”


    To prove his point, he even deliberately jumped a few times afterwards.


    Im not in pain either, Harold chimed in.


    Freya, who had remained silent all along, covered her face and eximed, “But I’m still in a lot of pain.


    Upon hearing that, Titus shrugged his shoulders. “Then I don’t know why.”


    Could it be that because both of you used your blood to resolve the spell, but it ended up unresolved?”


    Harold added and thought, Simone must be doing it on purpose.


    However I’m slightly confused. Could it be that Simone is aware of what has happened here?


    Otherwise, how can she deliberately relieve only our pain and not Jodie and Freya’s?


    Likewise, Titus also suspected that Simone had done it intentionally.


    At once, he felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.


    This biological sister of mine is truly remarkable! I can’t believe she can even anticipate what has


    transpired here. I will never provoke her again in the future. It’s terrifying!
