Skyler was engrossed in handling company documents when he received an unexpected call, leaving him slightly puzzled. Nevertheless, he quickly answered, "Mom!" Skyler's mother's tone softened as she asked, "Skyler, are you busy at the moment?" Skyler replied, "I'm working on some documents, but I'm not too busy. Mom, is there something you need?" Skyler's mother then expressed her distress about Leon defending Simone, but she also acknowledged their strained relationship, so she refrained from asking her older son to teach his younger brother a lesson. Astonished by what he heard, Skyler realized that his younger brother had matured and gained clarity after being dumped by Simone. He finally recognized the shallowness of his birth mother's "love." He could only go along with his mother's words. "Leon has indeed crossed the line. When Dad returns, we'll have a serious talk with him." However, persuading his birth mother to treat Leon better was futile. He had already attempted it before. His birth mother's desire for control was overpowering. She treated the two brothers as her possessions and interfered in every aspect of their lives. His mother disliked Simone primarily because his younger brother cared about her, which made her unhappy. She was even more afraid that Simone would surpass her in his younger brother's heart. Thus, she didn't want Simone to become an uncontrollable daughter-in-law. That's why she persistently tried to break them up. While his mother appeared to favor and spoil him on the surface, she also wanted to meddle in his romantic relationships. However, her interference was only acceptable if she liked and approved of his partner. He had never had a girlfriend, not only because he couldn't protect her from his mother's meddling, but also because he feared his mother would harm the girl. It was quite absurd.His intelligent younger sister had long seen through their birth mother's behavior. She not only didn't expect maternal love, but also disliked their birth mother. And because their birth mother didn't care as much about her daughter, she managed to escape. Now, his younger brother had also distanced himself from this mess. Only he had no choice but to remain deeply entangled in it. Sigh! Upon hearing his words, Skyler's mother believed that her eldest son understood her. "Skyler, I called you because I need your help with something." Skyler couldn't fathom what she wanted, so he replied, "Go ahead." In any case, she definitely wouldn't ask him to deal with Leon. His mother said, "Jo got injured and is hospitalized in Slovance. She's all alone and in a pitiful state. Take a day off today and fly to Slovance to take care of her." Skyler was speechless. He never expected that one day, his birth mother would voluntarily burden him with such a problem. He was scared. His mother was the most unpredictable troublemaker. He declined and said, "Mom, I have a very important meeting tomorrow, and I can't afford to be absent." He didn't want to get involved in that trouble; he didn't want to be as unlucky as his younger brother and the Gray Family brothers. His mother frowned. "Can't someone else handle it? Jo is alone overseas. I'm worried." As Jo's older brother, Skyler should take care of his sister and strengthen their relationship. Skyler was speechless. "Mom, Jodie has relatives. Why should I be the one to take care of her? The Gray Family is still around. If I take care of her, what if the Gray Family misunderstands our relationship? She's still a celebrity, so if the paparazzi catch me taking care of her, rumors will definitely spread, and it won't be good for her reputation. After all, not long ago, she was involved in a scandal with Leon."He knew how to handle his mother. As expected, Skyler's mother had to abandon the idea as soon as he mentioned that. It wouldn't be good if their sibling relationship was misunderstood and turned into a scandal. After contemplating for a moment, she said, "Alright, I'll talk to Mrs. Gray and ask her to go take care of her." Skyler was even more speechless. Does someone's daughter really need you to make a phone call to take care of her? This would only cause trouble and make Mrs. Gray unhappy with Jodie. But instead of reminding her, he agreed, "Indeed, someone from the Gray Family should go. Since Mrs. Gray has a good relationship with you, she will definitely agree if you call her. Jodie will also be grateful to you." With her son's affirmation, Skyler's mother finally smiled. "Okay, I'll make the call now." After hanging up the phone, she actually contacted Salma and informed her about Jodie's call. She claimed that Jodie was injured and lonely in the hospital with no one to take care of her, portraying her as pitiful. She subtly blamed Simone and insinuated that Simone had caused harm to Jodie. Salma was aware of this incident. However, she knew that Jodie had cursed Simone and ended up getting hurt herself. Jodie even pushed the blame onto her three sons. This shocked and displeased Salma, making her doubt whether Jodie's previous obedience had been genuine. Now, upon hearing Melinda distort the truth, she didn't know what to say. If it had been in the past, maybe she would have believed it, but now, she had watched the live stream replay and had been scolded by her husband and her own parents. She finally knew the truth. What disgusted her even more was that she was Jodie's foster mother; she had raised her all these years. She loved her as her own daughter. Yet, when Jodie had something to deal with, the first person she thought of was Melinda. Did she even consider me her mother? Melinda had to call and remind her that she had to take care of her adopted daughter. It made Salma feel as if she had mistreated her adopted daughter. It left her feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. Reluctantly, Salma agreed, but her expression soured after hanging up the phone. However, she didn't want her foster daughter to misbehave again or let others gossip about it. So, she called her personal assistant and instructed them to fly to Slovance to take care of Jodie. If possible, they should bring her back. In Slovance, Jodie anxiously awaited news at the hospital. Suddenly, her body trembled as if something was leaving her. She realized that her luck had significantly weakened. She was puzzled and wondered what was happening. Then, she glanced at the back of her hand and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh, how did this happen?" There were actually spots on the back of her hand. This was what her brother had mentioned, the consequence of her actions. She didn't understand what was going on.Then her phone rang. When she saw that it was a call from Melinda, she tried to calm her racing heart and answered, "Mrs. Foster!" Melinda spoke in a gentle tone, "Jo, I reached out to Leon, but he still has to continue hosting variety shows, so he can't come to take care of you." She continued thoughtfully, "So, I called your mother, and she said she would send someone to take care of you." Jodie was speechless. Who told her to go find her foster mother? This was causing trouble for her. Why was this old woman so foolish? And she could also guess why her luck had significantly worsened again. It was highly likely that the problem lay with Leon. As she suppressed the urge to curse, she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you so much, Mrs. Foster." She then cautiously asked, "Mrs. Foster, is Leon not happy?" Melinda became angry when she heard this. "He's acting so arrogantly now. As his mother, I can hardly control him. Forget about him; just mentioning him makes me angry." With that, Jodie understood. Indeed, the problem was with Leon.
