    Chapter 206 Arrived Just in Time


    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 OUL


    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


    Gray Family in the past.

    Nes that Jodie is injured, she must have sought him out forfort andpanionship.


    why this se “mn bày shows up here, I don’t have to guess to know that he must want to question or


    Simone pondered momentarily. Then, she exchanged a few words with Zac Turner and the others, got


    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


    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.


    Hunter 200 Arrived Just in Turie


    felt extremely fortunate that he had entered ahead of time. Otherwise, Andrew might


    Minted bat his interrogation.


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


    taron sure arrived just in time.


    What 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


    not.”


    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 Jo back and look


    after her.”


    (9000Arrival Just in Tonle


    the indit muntion to Andrew that it was mainly to bring him back


    indre broathed a sigh of relief. It seems like Mom also cares about fo


    She has raised fo 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


    Mom and then take her to the hospital to see Jo”


    If it was just his younger brother trying to stop him, Andrew would undoubtedly ignore him 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.


    Secing 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


    variety 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.


    Chubter 206 Arriverf just in Time


    rice. Andrew approached her with a smile. “Mom!” Salma coldly nced at hìm 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.


    Chapter 206 Arrived Just in


    When she saw Simone and the others enter, Salma adjusted her facial expression to appear friendly


    and approachable.


    Then, she stood up and walked toward Simone.


    907 Why Are You So Shameless?


    ed Simone happily conversing with herpanions and realized her daughter. ed so brightly since she


    returned home over a year ago.


    efom, she couldn’t help but wonder if Simone had been unhappy during her time at


    Simone was her biological daughter. She was a part of her, and Salma wanted to love her just as much


    as her other children.


    However, due to Jodie’s previous instigation and insinuations, she had mistakenly believed that Simone


    was wild and unruly.


    That was why she wanted to teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistakes.


    In fact, when Simone left the Gray Residence, Salma still believed she was simply throwing a tantrum


    and would return.


    But now, she wasn’t so sure solely because Simone’s actions since leaving home not only showed no


    intention of returning, but she also intentionally caused a rift with her brothers.


    Salma had kept up with many clips of this livestream episode. She discovered that her biological


    daughter wasn’t wild or uncultured even though she


    grew up outside.


    On the contrary, she was exceptional. Not only was she skilled in geomancy, but she also possessed


    many other talents and was fluent in foreignnguages.


    She was even more outstanding than the adoptive daughter that the Gray Family had carefully


    nurtured.


    This made Salma proud but also left her feeling a bit uneasy, especially after learning that her adoptive


    daughter had conspired against her biological daughter and even personally cursed her. She felt even


    more ufortable.


    She really wanted to see Simone andfort her.


    This trip to Slovance provided an opportunity for her.


    When Simone saw Salma approaching, she was a bit surprised.


    Salma actually came to Slovance for Jodie?! Such an endearing mother and daughter! Judging from


    how she’s walking toward me now, I can bet my boots that she’s here to find me.


    Only, I wonder what her purpose is.
