The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 120 What Does She Take Her For?

Titus experienced a sharp pain in his chest. He glanced at Jodie and inquired, "Have you seen what's currently trending online?" Jodie appeared confused and asked, "What's trending?" A sense of unease settled in her heart. He handed her the phone and said, "Take a look for yourself." She took the phone and read the article; her expression instantly turned sour. Just a moment ago, she had been happy and excited because she had landed the role of the female lead in that popular fantasy drama. And she could also play a trick on Simone. Who would have thought that she would get the role Simone didn't want?It made her feel like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat. She actually took the role Simone didn't want. How infuriating! Was Simone out of her mind? She chose the supporting role instead of the lead. Titus noticed Jodie's change in expression and believed that she genuinely didn't know about this, but he felt even more foolish for being mocked by Simone. With a cold expression, he said, "So, you want me to go to Simone and embarrass myself?" Jodie was already frustrated and uncomfortable. Unable to hold back, she said, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Titus, are you blaming me?" He raised an eyebrow and said, "Shouldn't I? I've lost my reputation in front of Simone several times because of you. Jo, I know you have ulterior motives, but you shouldn't always use me as a pawn." Before Simone left the Gray Family, he did suspect that she was secretly trying to take things away from Jo and bully her. But after a few confrontations, he realized that Simone wouldn't do things behind Jo's back, especially in such a devious manner. He gradually realized that Jo had manipulated him and turned him and his brother into her weapons. Although he felt disgusted, Jodie was his sister whom he had cherished for over a decade, so he indulged her. Recently, he had been a little bored, so he played along with her. When he thought of Simone's mockery just now, his face darkened again. Not only was he beaten and manipulated by his own sister, but he was also used as a pawn. He felt embarrassed. Jodie's face changed slightly. "I didn't, Titus. How could you misunderstand me like this?" Titus looked at her with a smile that wasn't genuine and said, "You'll find out whether it's a misunderstanding or not. Is there anything else? I want to rest." He was feeling irritated now and didn't want to see her. Jodie noticed that Titus had changed a lot, and it must have been instigated by that little witch Simone. "Titus, I'm just standing up for you. Although the role I got was the one Simone didn't want, it's still the female lead. Even though Mr. Zeke promised you before that he would give me the role of the female lead, he deliberately let Simone choose first. This is like a slap in the face." After reading the trending article, she felt conflicted. Would she still act as the female lead? She quickly made up her mind to do it, and she would act even better than Simone. Since Simone wanted to choose a villainous supporting actress to act alongside her, Jodie decided to fulfill her wish and provide a comparison. That was her plan just now.However, she couldn't accept the method. In her dream, the female lead in this drama became popular, and the second female lead also gained a lot of popularity. If she played the female lead, she would definitely become popular, too. As for the second female lead, as long as the script was changed, people would dislike her. But to change the script, she needed Titus' help. If it were before, Titus would definitely be displeased upon hearing these words, but since he had been losing to Simone regularly, and it often made him so angry that he wanted to vomit, he was no longer as arrogant and easily provoked. He asked in return, "What are you trying to accomplish by saying all this?" Jodie reached out and hugged Titus' arm. She leaned closer and pleaded, "Titus, since Mr. Zeke has offended you because of this matter, you should make some demands. He definitely won't object." Titus wanted to laugh. They always thought that their innocent and gentle sister had few ulterior motives, so he asked, "What demands should I make to Mr. Zeke?" Because Titus had always spoiled and indulged Jodie, she didn't notice anything wrong with him and thought he was in pain and in a bad mood. So, she voiced her thoughts and said, "Titus, ask Mr. Zeke to change the script. The second female lead doesn't have enough screen time, so ask them to give her more scenes." She even mentioned how to add them. Titus had never realized that his sister was so scheming and asked again, "Do you know why Mr. Zeke promised me before but now wanted Simone to choose the role first? And when he was on the phone with Zac, he didn't hesitate to give me a slap in the face."Jodie thought for a moment and said, "It's because of Simone. It’s because Mr. Zeke knows that Simone is your biological sister." That was what she believed. She also held a grudge against Mr. Zeke for giving her a slap in her face that way. However, Titus shook his head. "That's not it. I used a favor to forcefully obtain this role for you. Originally, Mr. Zeke wanted to choose another rising star as the female lead, and they had already been in contact, but I used all kinds of tactics to make him choose you. Naturally, he wasn't happy about it. This was before I got into trouble and also when your reputation wasn't this bad. So, he compromised and endured the displeasure." He paused and said, "Now, I've been kicked out by the company, and your reputation isn't so good either. He deliberately did this." This director was not forgiving. Back then, he relied on the power of Gray Entertainment to suppress Mr. Zeke.The other party was intentionally slapping him in the face, and now, it was useless for them to cause trouble for the other party. After all, the female lead still belonged to Jodie. He added another hurtful remark. "From this, it can be seen that he thinks Simone is more valuable than you." Jodie's expression changed again, and this was the reason she least wanted to accept. She leaned against his shoulder. She looked up at him with hope in her eyes as she begged, "Titus, can you ask him to change the script? He should help, right?" In the past, whenever she asked her brothers like this, they would agree. Titus chuckled softly and gently pushed Jodie, who was leaning on his arm, away. With one hand still gently holding Jodie's chin, his eyes lacked warmth as he questioned, "Jo, did you completely disregard what I said earlier?" He then whispered softly in her ear, "If your intentions involve sharing my bed, I won't object. However, if you plan on using me as a pawn, I cannot guarantee how I will treat you." His other hand lightly brushed against Jodie's eyebrows and eyes. "I still prefer the obedient, gentle, and tender Jo from before." Jodie felt the warm breath of Titus' words in her ear, but she also felt a chill run down her spine. She had always known that among her brothers, Titus appeared gentle and refined, but in reality, he was ruthless and unpredictable. Now, his words only reinforced her belief that he had a dark side. At that moment, Titus released his grip on Jodie's chin. Jodie's heart trembled as she responded, "I fail to comprehend your insinuations." With a tinge of humiliation, she looked at him with teary eyes. "Moreover, we are siblings. How could I ever entertain the thought of being intimate with you?" How could Titus perceive her in such a way? What did he truly think of her? Titus raised an eyebrow. "But your actions have always suggested that there is an inappropriate connection between us, haven't they?" Previously, he hadn't paid much attention to their closeness with Jo, but their mother scolded them, and Leon also mentioned it. Yesterday, Harold hinted at it even more and implied that their relationship was improper. He suddenly realized that their relationship, in the eyes of others, was far from ordinary. He couldn't help but suspect that Jodie had ulterior motives towards him, rather than simply seeing him as a brother.
