Simone also wanted to know why Salma hade.
If it was about Jodie, she would have no qualms about confronting her.
She said to Zac and the others, “You guys go back to your rooms and rest. I’lle upter?
“Okay!” Zac and the others nodded and left first.
In the elevator, Keira curiously spected. “Is that woman Simone’s biological mother?” Otherwise, she
couldn’t think of anyone who woulde to find Simone at this period.
Since he had seen Salma at a dinner party before. Zac nodded. “Yeah. She’s her biological mother.”
This surprised the others.

She now somewhat understood Simone’s character.
Simone will respond with even greater kindness if someone is kind to her.
But if someone wants to cause trouble, she won’t show them respect and will settle the grudge on the
spot.
Harry also felt relieved after hearing what Zac said.
In the hotel’s lobby. Simone looked at Salma, who only showed this gentle and kind smile when she
had just returned home.
Because of these moments, sheter wanted to treat them well, thinking of them as her own family.
Yet, she never thought they would all believe Jodie and assume she was causing trouble under Jodie’s
instigation, insinuation, and petty little tricks.

Simone shook her head and turned her down. “There’s nothing for us to talk about. If there’s
something, just say it here. Otherwise, I will go back to my room and rest.
She had no interest in having a heart-to-heart talk with Salma.
If truth be told, she did hope for it when she first returned home in her previous life. But as time went
on, her heart grew colder, and she no longer had any expectations.
Salma was taken aback, clearly not expecting Simone to refuse.
She furrowed her brows slightly and borated, “I just wanted you to apany me for dinner. Is that
not possible?” Simone looked at her with a half-smile. “Mrs. Gray, we’re not close enough to have
dinner together.”
At once, Salma looked at her in disbelief. “I’m your Mom! How are we not close?” Simone raised an
eyebrow and said, “Didn’t we cut ties long ago? Have you aged so much that you be so
forgetful?” Salma felt a pang in her heart upon hearing these harsh words.
Then, she took a deep breath. “There’s no grudge between a mother and daughter thatsts overnight.
We were misled by Jodie’s instigation and insinuation before, which resulted in misunderstandings
between us. But now that we know it was a misunderstanding, we want to clear the air with you.”
Simone smiled indifferently and said, “There’s nothing to clear up. Since we’ve already cut our ties, it’s
better not to have any further entanglements.”
After that, she bluntly added, “It’s totally unnecessary if you’re here to reconcile with me. I won’t take
back my words and the decisions I’ve made. To me, you are merely a stranger now. As long as you
don’t actively provoke and bother me, I will pay no attention to you either. But I will make you regret it if
you do cause trouble. Just like your sons-I have dealt with each one of them, haven’t I?”
“By saying this, Mrs. Gray, you should be able to understand my attitude, right?” she asked, which
caused Salma to feel embarrassed. “Are you really not going to acknowledge us?” Simone chuckled
and said, “It’s not that I’m not going to. Instead, we are no longer rted.”
Feeling aggrieved, Salma exined, “I admit we had misunderstood you because of Jodie. But I did
treat you well, too!” Indeed, she truly wanted to make up for lost time when Simone finally recognized
them again.
After all, she and Steven had five sons and only one daughter. Hence, they both treasured

urthermore, à geomancy master told them that Jodie could assist them in locating their biological
daughter.
However, their daughter was never found. As a result, Salma transferred all her maternal affection to
Jodie.
Having been raised by the Gray Family for over a decade, Jodie had be obedient, sensible, and
reliant on them.
When Simone returned to the Gray Residence, Jodie felt insecure and subtly hinted at a
mistreatment.
This led to their increased favoritism toward Jodie.
While Salma loved the adoptive daughter she had raised, she also held love for her biological daughter.
Simone sneered, “Yes, you did treat me well, but haven’t I already repaid you? Moreover, haven’t I paid
an even greater price? Do you honestly believe that a small act of kindness can make me indebted to
you for life?” She bluntly added, “Why are you so shameless?” She caught a fever not long after she
returned to the Gray Residence.
After sending her to the hospital, Salma stayed by her side all night, showing genuine
concern.
At that time, Simone was touched, which prompted her to treat Salma with increasing kindness.
She prepared medicinal meals, provided massages, and reminded her to take her medicine daily.
However, she never expected such caring behavior to be short-lived and easily punctured when
