    Chapter 272 Can You Please Spare Me?


    Zac was deeply distressed as he listened to this recording, his heart almost breaking. He had known


    beforehand that Simone had been treated unfairly within the Gray Family, but he never expected it to


    be this dire.


    He was devastated. As a result, he red at Andrew and Aaron. “Are you even human? Forget about


    being her brothers; even strangers wouldn’t be so cruel.” He looked at Andrew sarcastically. “Have all


    the books you’ve read over the years gone to waste? Simone fought for the spot herself from Jonah,


    but Jodie insisted it was hers. The whole family pressured Simone to give up her spot. Otherwise, it’s


    stealing from Jodie. I’ve never heard of such a twisted theory before. And isn’t Simone the rightful


    heiress of the Gray Family? Your implication is as if Simone is the adopted daughter, trying to steal the


    position of the biological daughter. If that’s the case, why did your family take Simone back? To


    acknowledge her and use her as apanion for the adopted daughter, to step on her? All of you have


    such malicious intentions. Simone has had-terrible luck to have a family like you.”


    Then, he coldly looked at Aaron. “And you. You lost Simone in the first ce, yet you


    dare to ask Simone to give up her spot for Jodie, colluding with others to suppress Simone and snatch


    her resources! And you have the nerve to say she’s being resentful. As she should! If it weren’t for


    meeting her master after being abducted by traffickers, she would’ve been sold off to the mountain as a


    child bride. How dare you say she’s resentful, using this as an excuse topete with Jodie for a


    favor?”


    He angrily continued, “Does Simone even care about Jodie’s so-called favor? She only gave way to


    you guys because she once cared about you.” He questioned again, “Think about how much she’s


    done for you guys. Don’t you appreciate it? I’ve heard of many things, like her making medicinal meals


    for every member of the Gray Family. Luca often had a sore throat, so she


    spent over half a year making a throat lozenge that not only soothes but also relieves pain. But during


    hisst appearance, he unreasonably used her. I’m afraid those throat lozenges were all wasted.


    “Simone apanied you to practice dancing and was caught by the paparazzi. She was so badly


    criticized by your fans, but you, as her brother who lost her, hid and refrained from exining.


    Afterward, you were also photographed having dinner alone with Jodie. As soon as she was criticized,


    you immediately stepped forward to rify the situation.


    given


    “This is what we know, but there are still many things we don’t know, right? Simone has everything to


    every one of you. She wanted to cherish this hard-won family rtionship. But what did that get her? Is


    this how you repay her and her efforts? Your so-calledpensation is cold violence, suppression,


    punishment, and even turning the tables by using her of stealing from Jodie.


    “You forced her to the point where she couldn’t stay in the family anymore, and she had to cut ties with


    you to protect what she fought for.” Then, he continued, “But I’ve also figured something out.

    “Whether it’s before or this recording, it all shows one thing. For the sake of Jodie, you Grays can


    distort the truth, bully Simone without any reason, and even enjoy gaslighting her. It’s ironic because it


    was Jodie who wanted to take Simone’s spot. But in your narrative, it became the other way round.”


    He deliberately looked at Jonah and asked, “Jonah, were you the one who initially chose Simone as


    the regr guest on this show?”


    Jonah was initially quite excited and thrilled because of the recording, but after listening to it, he felt a


    bit bitter in his heart. Thus, he did not avoid the question at this moment. Instead, he truthfully


    answered, “Yes, everyone knows that Simone is a geomancy master. Before the variety show, she


    saved my wife. At that time, this show hadn’t been confirmed, and she didn’t ask for any repayment


    from me. After it was, I took the initiative to contact her and invited her to be a regr guest because I


    wanted to repay this favor.


    “As for Jodie, it was her manager, Titus, who came to me with her and Aaron. They said Aaron could


    participate in our show without payment. But there was one condition, which was to bring their sister


    along. Since Aaron is a popr star, I naturally couldn’t refuse and had agreed.” He did not exaggerate


    but simply stated the facts.


    Zac said, “Thank you, Jonah, for rifying things. Then, he looked at Andrew and said, “I just want to


    ask. How did Simone precisely snatch Jodie’s spot and resources? Please rify for everyone.


    Otherwise, we won’t understand the logic behind this.”


    Andrew’s face turned pale, then red, a mix of embarrassment and anger. Being questioned like this by


    Zac, he opened his mouth but did not know what to say. He had spoken without thinking earlier,


    impulsively bringing up what they once believed. He intended to ask Simone to stop targeting Jodie


    and let her off in this show.


    Who would have thought that Simone would release the recording of their conversation from that day?


    After listening to the recording, along with Jonah’s words, he could not find any words to retort.


    Zac sneered. “What’s the matter? Cat’s got your tongue? You were quite eloquent when you asked


    Simone to spare Jodie earlier, weren’t you? Simone was the one who wanted you to spare her.


    “From beginning to end, it was you who provoked and used first, yet you dare to say that Simone


    didn’t spare her. In the first episode, Aaron immediately said Simone was wrong and asked her not to


    bully Jodie. In the second episode, before the live broadcast started, Luca also angrily confronted


    Simone in front of everyone. He used her because Jodie asked her not to go too far. And now, in


    this episode, you’re doing the same thing, immediately shifting the me onto Simone


    “If Simone didn’t have the recording as evidence, she would’ve been wrongfully used of bullying


    and stealing Jode’s resources”

    He nced at Andrew and Aaron. “Did Simone step on your toes or something? Why do you guys hold


    some deep grudge against her? Why are you treating her like this?”


    At that moment, Simone looked at the brothers and echoed. “That’s what I’d like to know, too. How


    strong is your grudge against me that you keep cornering me with every chance you get? You defend


    Jodie ande after me for attention. Did I offend you? Did I provoke you? Just like before, our


    rtionship was already strained; we had already fallen out. I don’t want to pretend and put on a show


    for the audience. Now, it’s my fault that I’m impolite”


    She appeared helpless and emphasized, “Can I also say, spare me, please? Can’t we have no


    connection or involvement? Can’t we just be strangers?”

    This time, Zac truly aided her by highlighting all the crucial points from the recording and questioning


    them in return.
