Chapter 466


    Chapter 466 You Knew?


    After ending the call, Simone reached out to Steven once again.


    Since they had previously coborated with three other parties, they needed to inform them of the


    results.


    Simultaneously, she also revealed the actions taken by Mr. Lewis and Jodie’s biological mother.


    Upon hearing this. Steven couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. The Gray Family would finally no


    longer be under scrutiny.


    nosity got t better of him, and he couldn’t help but ask, “So, you’re saying that Salma already knows


    that Jodie is Mr. Lewis’ biological daughter? And she’s also aware of the incident where Jodie’s

    biological mother took you away and handed you over to human traffickers?”


    Simone confirmed, “Yes, Mr. Lewis admitted it on the spot. Well, she was present, so it’s only natural


    that she knows.


    Steven’s expression turned grim, and he found it difficult to breathe.


    He knew that Jodie had been arranged to enter the Gray Family by Mr. Lewis, and Simone’s


    disappearance as a child was likely connected to him. But he never expected that Jodie’s biological


    mother would be the one who took away Simone..


    In other words, Jodie’s biological parents had conspired against Simone and their family.


    Jodie was the daughter of their enemy.


    We don’t even have the chance to settle this matter. Why hasn’t Selma kicked Jodie out yet?


    The reason he knew she hadn’t done so was because Salma had contacted him yesterday.


    She had mentioned that the vi had been tampered with and set up with some negative energy


    formations and asked him to help find a powerful geomancy master toe and deal with it.


    She had taken Jodie to an apartment in the city center.


    But Salma hadn’t provided him with the specifics or mentioned that she knew about Jodie’s


    background.


    Upon observing Steven’s silence, Simone deliberately asked, “Is Mrs. Gray still maintaining a motherly


    rtionship with Jodic?”


    Steven felt a pang of pain and embarrassment in that moment.


    He sighed, ‘I suppose so. Salma is bing more and more confused.”


    How can she treat the enemy’s daughter as a treasure? What kind of absurdity is this? He couldn’t


    Simone smiled. “I had a feeling it would be like this. Mrs. Gray’s choice is not surprising at all. By the


    way. I’m nning to sue Jodie’s biological mother for kidnapping. So, the mother and daughter will


    soon turn against each other.”


    She emphasized, “Of course, they won’t turn against each other solely because of the kidnapping


    incident. involving me and Jodie’s biological mother. This was also a warning for Steven to be


    prepared..


    Steven felt ufortable and embarrassed. He roughly guessed that Simone was going to cause


    trouble, and then Salma would turn against Jodie.


    His embarrassment was because of thest sentence Simone added. Salma was truly out of line.


    “Even if you don’t sue, I’m still going to prepare to sue Jodie’s biological parents.”


    Steven wasn’t just making empty threats. Upon hearing this, he became furious.


    His immediate reaction was to sue and make Jodie’s biological parents pay for their actions.


    Now that Simone wanted to sue, he not only supported her but also added fuel to the fire.


    As for Salma, he took a deep breath. I’m also going to file for divorce from Salma.”


    He had given her several chances before, thinking that they were an old married couple and divorce


    would be unsightly. But now, not only was he disappointed in her, but he also felt a sense of


    detachment. Since the enemy’s daughter was so alluring, he would let Salma go and live a good life


    with Jodie.


    “I’ll try to finalize the divorce within the next two days, so can you arrange for them to turn against each


    other only after that?” If they turned against each other now, Salma would definitely not agree to a


    divorce.


    After all, he was the only hope Salma could hold on to.


    If Salma hadn’t continued to protect Jodie after knowing that she was the enemy’s daughter, he


    wouldn’t have considered divorcing her.


    But now, he would use this as a reason to divorce her.


    As for how the Johnston Family would react and whether they would oppose the divorce, he no longer


    wanted to concern himself with it.


    Besides, because of Salma, his coboration with Nichs also came to an end.


    As soon as Simone heard what Steven intended to do, she already had a hunch. “Alright, then I’ll sue


    them. three days from now.”


    The two reached an agreement, and Steven wanted to say something apologetic, but Simone ended


    the call first.


    Steven had made up his mind to get a divorce and didn’t want to prolong it.


    So, he had thepany’swyer draft a divorce agreement for him.


    All the property that should be given to Salma was divided.


    The children were all adults, so there was no issue of custody.


    Once the divorce agreement was finalized, he called Salma and informed her that he wanted to meet


    her.


    Salma had already moved into the apartment with Jodie. Upon feeling tired and not wanting to go out,


    she


    asked Steven toe directly.


    Steven contemted calling his sons.


    Reuben was still on a business trip, so he brought the others, including the one in a wheelchair, to


    over.


    After all, as parents getting a divorce, they had the right to be informed first.


    When Steven entered, he saw Salma sitting on the couch with Jodie standing behind her, massaging


    her. shoulders.


    Indeed, it was a scene of a loving mother and a dutiful daughter. But it was extremely irritating in his


    eyes.


    Upon seeing Steven, Jodie greeted him with a sweet smile, “Dad, you’re here!”


    She also sweetly addressed Titus and the other three, Titus, Luca, Andrew, Aaron.”


    Steven’s expression turned serious. “I am not your dad, so stop calling me that. I have already publicly


    announced that our family has severed our adoption rtionship with you. You are no longer my


    adopted daughter.


    Titus and the other three nodded. “We are no longer your brothers, so there’s no need to pretend to be


    close to us anymore.”


    During the journey. Steven had already informed them about what Jodie’s parents had done and the


    decision to get a divorce.


    They were all angry. At the same time, they felt that their mother couldn’t see things clearly.


    After knowing that, she was still protecting the enemy’s daughter. Is she out of her mind?


    Just then, Salma looked at Steven and said, “Honey, it’s just a title; why take it so seriously? No matter


    what, we’ve raised Jo for over twenty years. This bond doesn’t break easily


    Steven was infuriated.


    His face darkened. ‘So you still have feelings for the enemy’s daughter and want to continue treating


    her as if she were our own?”


    Salma was taken aback. “You already knew?”


    She had not disclosed those things to Steven because she knew he would not tolerate such matters.


    She had thought that since Mr. Lewis had already fled, Steven could not possibly be aware of what


    Jodie’s parents had done in the past.


    However, from the tone of his words, it was evident that he already knew.


    Steven approached and took a seat opposite her. “Mr. Lewis was arrested two days ago and charged


    with multiple crimes. He also admitted that Jodie’s biological mother had taken our own daughter and


    handed her over to human traffickers. Jodie’s biological father also confessed to scheming to seize our


    family’s luck. You were aware of all these truths two days ago, yet you kept them from me and our


    sons.”


    Disappointment and coldness filled his eyes. “You kept it from me solely to continue caring for Jodie,


    didn’t you?”
