The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 114 It's Clearly Not Like This

Jodie took out her phone again and took a selfie using the original camera. The photo showed no visible marks on her face from the hit. Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, "Titus, does my face look like I've been beaten?" She had prepared herself to confront Simone with her bruised face, but it didn't turn out that way. Titus covered his stomach with one hand and his chest with the other. "It doesn't seem so." So, she wasn't heavily beaten by Simone. Jodie couldn't help but feel frustrated. Simone had slapped her hard a few times, but now there were no visible marks. Those who didn't know might think she was lightly slapped, but it was clearly different. Her eyes turned red, and she said, "My face is burning and hurting right now."Titus was in even more pain himself and suddenly felt that Jodie would ignore his condition. She didn't care about him at all. With her still fair face, how could it be so intensely painful? His patience was running out. "It'll be fine in a while." Jodie was speechless. How could Titus be like this? Shouldn't he be hugging, comforting, and showing concern for her face? Freya also touched her face and said with a grievance, "My face is also painfully stinging." She was genuinely in pain, not pretending. Harold still couldn't believe that Gwen had scolded her, so he didn't have the presence of mind to care about her or offer comfort. One of the young men sitting there couldn't help but say, "Ahem. Your faces don't look too serious." "Mr. Jenner and Mr. Gray seem a bit more serious." Others also felt that Jodie and Freya were making a big fuss over nothing. To assess the extent of the injuries, it was obvious that these two men were more seriously affected. Although they were slapped, their faces weren't red. How much would it hurt? It was usual for them to be a little dramatic and exaggerated, but why were they so oblivious to the situation? Jodie and Freya were speechless. What did these straight men know? It really hurts. Titus saw that Harold was still in a daze and said unkindly, "Harold, are you dumbfounded? I told you earlier, Gwen is not to be underestimated." "When she gets tough, she even hits her brother in public, let alone hitting you. You still don't believe it. Now, she has even influenced my sister." He thought that Simone would hit him because Gwen had influenced her, so he finally snapped out of it when Harold heard Titus' words.His face and hands were bruised in many places, and it hurt a lot. "I just didn't expect them to be so ruthless." He had sympathized with Leon before, but now he was even more hurt. He asked, "If Leon had come today, would he have been beaten too?" Titus sneered. "I've already been beaten. Can this so-called scumbag escape?" "I'm completely implicated because of you guys." He felt so innocent being beaten by his younger sister, and Leon and Harold must have caused it. Then, he couldn't help but say, "Today, you should have called Leon out as well." If Simone wanted to fight, she should have fought Leon, too. Harold agreed, "I should have called him out as well." It shouldn't just be us getting beaten. Good brothers should endure it together. He looked at Titus and asked, "What should we do now?" Besides feeling embarrassed, he felt incredibly uncomfortable. There was also a heartache as if he was about to lose Gwen. With a serious face, Titus said, "Of course, we can't just take the beating." If things escalated, they could not afford to lose that person, but they could use Simone's weakness against her. "Let's go and copy the surveillance footage from when we were beaten. If they still act tough, I'll sue them." Simone would be in trouble if a video like that were posted online. As long as she still wanted to continue in the entertainment industry, she had to give in to them. Harold frowned. "Suing them seems a bit excessive." Titus was speechless. "What's excessive about it? Are we supposed to take the beating for nothing? You may enjoy being abused, but I don't. Besides, I don't plan on actually suing right away. I want them to apologize and back down." Harold thought for a moment. "If you want to sue Simone, I don't care how you threaten her." Then, he asserted, "But you can't touch Gwen." Gwen had already distanced herself from him. He didn't want to do anything that would push her further away. And he couldn't tolerate anyone bullying her either, not even his good friend Titus. Titus couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You and Leon are masochists." One was dragged into a pit by Simone and had his reputation ruined, yet he still wanted to reconcile. He also dared not to have any contact with Jodie anymore.The other was being publicly beaten like this, yet still protecting his assailant. "Are you guys masochists?" Harold coldly glanced at him. "You don't understand matters of the heart. So, shut up." The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and everyone else felt awkward. How did these two end up arguing with each other after being beaten? Did their brains get damaged? Titus snorted. "If you want to be idiots, go ahead. I'm not playing with you." After saying that, he stood up, holding his stomach and chest, and asked the person next to him for a copy of the surveillance footage. Jodie was delighted in her heart as Titus was protecting her. He wouldn't let Simone get away with it. So, despite the pain on her face, she immediately followed him. Harold thought for a moment and followed suit. Freya felt very uncomfortable. She didn't expect Harold to be publicly beaten like this by Gwen, and he still cared and protected that woman. She was unwilling and resentful and hated Gwen even more. She just hoped that Titus and Jodie would be more powerful and have those two crazy women detained. She also got up and followed behind Harold. The others looked at each other. What could they do? Of course, they would continue to follow and watch the show. The manager knew them, so he took them to the monitoring room when Titus wanted to view and copy the surveillance footage. The monitoring room was usually unattended. After all, this bar had a reputation, and few dared to cause trouble here. In the monitoring room, the manager accessed the surveillance footage from the mentioned time period, which had been recorded before the incident on the second floor. He played the footage for them once and hesitantly asked, "Would you like to make a copy of this section?" In his mind, he secretly wondered if Mr. Gray had some peculiar interest. Wanting to duplicate the video where he embraced his sister seemed somewhat perverse. During his leisure time, the manager enjoyed browsing the internet for gossip. Therefore, he was aware of the situation between Titus and Simone. After watching the video playback, Titus was completely astonished. The individuals behind him also wore expressions as if they had seen a ghost. One person stammered, "How is this even possible?"Another person couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "Could we have just imagined it?" A third person gulped and suggested, "Could we have encountered something supernatural? Otherwise, why is there no footage of those two aggressive women attacking anyone in the surveillance video?" The video simply showed them chatting and drinking as a group, and shortly after, those two women left while holding hands. Forget about attacking anyone; they didn't even exchange a word with Mr. Gray and Mr. Jenner. What shocked them even more was that from the moment they appeared in the surveillance footage, Mr. Jenner's hands and face looked the same as they did after he was beaten. Furthermore, the time on the video ran smoothly without any discrepancies, and it was continuously routine. It was genuinely eerie.
