Chapter 226 What Is He On?
Jodie’s words deeply touched Andrew. Jo was still the kindest to him, unlike his own heartless
brother.
“Dad, Jo and I are innocent. Whether you believe it or not, we have a clear conscience, and it was my
own decision to sit on the bed instead of the chair.”
He was afraid that his dad would punish Jo, so he added, “It’s my fault; it has nothing to do with Jo. I
take full responsibility.”
This time, Steven couldn’t help butugh, “Good, very good. You are indeed responsible, so go and
kneel down.”
He then looked at Jodi. “Although Andrew took all the me, your behavior before was indeed
inappropriate. It takes two to tango; you are also at fault. Andrew will kneel down and reflect, and you
can reflect at home.”
What he wanted was just an excuse to confine Jodie at home and prevent her from causing trouble
outside.
Jodie breathed a sigh of relief. “I know I was wrong. I will reflect at home like you say, Dad.”
Salma interjected, “You have problems with your etiquette, so I will hire a teacher for you again.”
She would invite the strictest teacher in the circle to teach Jodie.
Jodie didn’t expect Salma to do such a thing. Salma, who used to be so kind to her, had now be
detestable. She felt resentful and didn’t want to learn any etiquette, but when one was under someone
else’s roof, one had to submit.
She could only pitifully lower her head and say, “Yes, Mom, I will do what you say.”
In her heart, she couldn’t help butin. If it wasn’t for her biological mother, she wouldn’t be
treated so casually. Salma was just a cruel person with a kind face. In the end, her biological mother
was still better. She would find an opportunity to meet her and seek
After that, Steven asked the butler to find someone to keep an eye on Andrew kneeling outside. He
then supported Salma and went upstairs to rest.
Jodie looked at Titus and the other two with red eyes and said, “It’s all my fault that Andrew gol into
trouble Titus, Luca, and Aaron, when Did calms down, please help Andrew pleat for mercy Andrew’s
legs won’t be able to bear it he kneels all night”
In front of her brothers, she had to show her previous gentleness, thoughtfulness, and kindness.
Naturally, she couldn’t just watch Andrew being punished all the time.
Seeing her worried appearance, Luca thought that she wasn’tpletely heartless.
“When we have dinner, we will go and plead with Dad, so don’t worry. Take care of your own. hands
and legs, as they are injured.”
Aaron also didn’t want to think badly of his beloved little sister. Seeing her like this, it seemed that she
really cared about Andrew.
“Yeah, Andrew has us.” Jodie’s heart leaped with joy. It seemed that acting weak still worked, after all.
She looked at the two of them innocently and happily. “Thank you, Luca and Aaron. I knew you were
the best!”
Only Titus sneered. “Enough, you are all good people. I’m the only bad one.”
He realized that the minds of his third and fifth siblings were still clouded.
Jodie couldn’t understand why Titus had been targeting hertely. She bit her lip and looked. at him
pitifully. “Titus, are you still mad at me? If I did something wrong, just tell me, and I’ll change.”
Titus smiled. “I’m not mad at you, and you don’t need to change. I see that you’re tired from the flight,
so go upstairs and rest.”
Jodie knew his temperament, and she knew he wouldn’t be happy if she argued with him, so she
obediently said, “Thank you, Titus. I’ll go back to my room and rest now.”
Titus had Salma’s assistant take Jodie back to her room before he called Luca and Aaron and led them
to the garden, as he didn’t feel safe talking inside the house. It was much better to be in this open and
unmonitored ce.
Luca and Aaron were puzzled when they were called to the garden to have tea.
What is Titus on?
Aaron asked, “Titus, what do you want?”
Titus said, “I called you here to talk.”
Luca was speechless. “What do we have to talk about with you?” He still remembered how Titus tricked
him into appearing on a variety show
Titus was at a loss for words “You’re still so impatient, but I called you here today for your

own good. I wanted to share a huge secret with you. If you don’t want to listen, then leave.” He took a
sip of tea and continued, “If something happens in the future, don’t me me, your older brother, for
not warning you.”
After hearing him say that, the two who had originally wanted to leave were also piqued with curiosity.
“Titus, stop teasing us.”
From his expression, it seemed like there was indeed something important to say.
Titus beckoned to the two of them, and they willingly approached him. He then leaned in closer to them
and whispered what Simone had told him that day, giving them a rough
summary.
Luca and Aaron looked stunned after listening, finding it hard to ept.
“Is this true or false?” The two of them felt a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
Titus raised an eyebrow. “Simone wouldn’t lie to us. Think carefully, ever since Jodie came to our
family, hasn’t her luck been excessively good? Her previous good luck was all because she stole
Simone’s luck. When Simone returned, she manipted and hinted at us, keeping us away from our
own sister. During that time, her luck was off the charts.”
“However, when Simone was so angry with you guys that she cut off ties and became famous on
variety shows, Jodie’s luck wasn’t as good all of a sudden. It’s because their fortunes are inversely
proportional. If Simone has good luck, Jodie’s luck will be weakened.”
Aaron said angrily, “What do you mean we made Simone cut off ties? It sounds like you had no part in
it.”
Luca alsoined, “Exactly, we all had a part in this.”
Titus red at both of them and said, “Let’s focus on the matter at hand.”
Both of them thought carefully and became more and more rmed, “If that’s the case, it seems to be
true.”
Titus was stating facts, and even if it was a coincidence, it couldn’t happen so many times.
Luca found it difficult to ept. All these years, had he been caring for someone like this? So, he tried
to console himself, “Does she truly have so many malicious intentions? Didn’t she just ask us to help
plead for Andrew earlier? She seemed genuinely concerned about him.”
Aaron agreed, “Indeed.”
Titus was the most ruthless among the brothers, so he was rtively more rational.

“Then let me ask you, did she manage to get Andrew exempted from punishment after all her
concerns?” He looked at both of them and asked, “How many times has her concern for us been mere
empty words? Anyone can say they care and apologize, but does it have any effect? Instead, it was
Andrew who was moved by her and voluntarily took responsibility for the mistake, and he’s still
kneeling outside. However, she didn’t suffer any physical or mental pain. I told her to go back to her
room and rest, and she actually did.”
Titus sarcastically said, “That’s how much she cares about Andrew. Even if she couldn’t kneel outside
with him, she could at least sit in a wheelchair and apany him outside. But did she? No. She didn’t
even bother to take a look at him, much less apany him.”
“Do you need this kind of concern? Think about it: if this had happened with the previous. Simone, what
would you have done?”
Before knowing Jodie’s true intentions, he might have believed that she genuinely cared. about

Andrew. But after seeing through her true nature, he realized how false her so-called
concern was.
