The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Simone wasn't surprised when she received Titus' texts. "Considering the time, he should indeed be having bad luck now. After all, giving away one's luck will naturally have an adverse effect on the body. Since a part of his luck was forcibly taken away, his body will temporarily experience a kind of hunger, as if something is missing. He will constantly feel hungry and have the urge to eat. However, this is not because his stomach is empty but rather due to his mental state. It's also normal for him to feel sleepy most of the time. When luck suddenly disappears, the body will experience negative effects. Thus, feeling mentally exhausted is just one of them. These symptoms will gradually disappear after he becomes unlucky." Upon reading the text she sent, Titus breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't been home recently, he had ordered a servant to keep an eye on Andrew and Jodie. He received daily updates on their situation, so he became worried when he found out that Andrew was eating or sleeping all day. Curiously, Harold asked, "Why is Andrew starting to have bad luck?" Titus replied, "Yesterday, when he was showering, the water stopped halfway through. Then, when the water finally came back, he slipped and fell. At lunchtime, he ordered takeout and found a fly in his food. At dinner, he found a cockroach in his food. This morning, he got bitten by the neighbor's dog when he left the house. When he went to get a rabies vaccine, a flower pot fell from a high place and hit his shoulder. After he went back to sleep, the bed inexplicably collapsed, and he sprained his waist. Also, the place the other party had agreed to rent to him for the filming changed their mind and refused to rent it. It's just a series of misfortunes. However, it keeps happening to him." After listening to the servant's feedback and seeing the secretly taken photos, Titus couldn't help but pity Andrew. However, he also felt that Andrew deserved it. After all, Luca and Aaron had already warned and tried to stop Andrew, but he stubbornly believed that nothing would go wrong even if he gave some of his luck to Jodie. Now, Titus wondered how long Andrew could endure it before regretting his decision. Simone said, "This bad luck will accompany him for another twenty years." By giving away half of his luck in the future, Andrew would continue to be unlucky. Titus asked, "Simone, can the talisman you drew help suppress his bad luck?" She replied, "Yes. However, why should I help him? I'll only draw it if I'm happy. So, even if he wants to buy it for five million or even fifty million, I still won't sell it to him. He brought this upon himself, and I'm here for the show. So, I won't help him. You can stop thinking about it." Furthermore, Andrew wouldn't believe in her talisman since he held a grudge against her. Thus, she was not interested in making a fool of herself. She helped the other three because she knew they wouldn't be foolish enough to willingly give away their luck. There was no way she would allow Jodie to borrow so much luck. Since Andrew was willing to lend his luck to Jodie, Simone was happy to watch him suffer. There was no way she would help him suppress his bad luck. When Titus saw her message, he felt fortunate that Simone was willing to help them. "Andrew deserved it. He insisted on bringing it upon himself," Titus thought. Still, they were brothers. Even if they were happy to watch him in a miserable state, they wouldn't want Andrew to be unlucky forever. Then, Titus asked again, "Is there any way to get back his luck if he regrets his choice? For example, making Jodie suffer in return?"Simone replied, "If he was deceived or said it unintentionally, it can be resolved, even though it might be troublesome. Jodie will suffer in return, and he can regain most of his luck. However, things aren't like this! Andrew willingly gave it, so we can't get it back. Andrew is the reason for his own misfortune, so he will have to bear the consequences himself." Looking at her reply, Titus sighed. After all, Andrew was being foolish, and Titus had already done his best to help him. "Alright, then let him continue to have bad luck. However, can he still appear on the show if he keeps having bad luck?" Simone wasn't worried about this. "Scumbag No. 4 can still appear on the show. If he keeps facing misfortune, Jodie should lend him the mystical tool bracelet she obtained before the show." After all, there was no way Jodie would let anything happen to Andrew since he was the only one who would protect her in the entertainment industry. She would definitely bring him along to the show. At the same time, it was also a good opportunity to find trouble for Simone with Andrew's help. Since she was also afraid that Andrew would be involved, she would find a way to suppress his bad luck. "Scumbag No. 4? Are you talking about Andrew?" Simone replied, "Who else? Don't worry. You're Scumbag No. 2." Titus was speechless. Harold said, "Scumbag No. 2. What a fitting name." He tagged Titus. "From now on, we'll call you Scumbag No. 2." Titus replied, "Get lost!" He felt Harold was enjoying the show too much and did not care about the consequences. Still, he didn't expect Simone to address him like that. "What about the others? Scumbag No. 1, Scumbag No. 3, and Scumbag No. 5?" Titus doubted that only he and Andrew had this 'honor title.'"You are quite smart," Simone replied. Titus' mouth twitched as he realized that none of them had escaped their fate of being a scumbag. Then, he returned to his senses and asked, "Does that mean Jodie's mystical tool can help Andrew suppress his bad luck? If that's the case, why isn't she using it?" Simone explained, "It is true that wearing the mystical tool for a short time could suppress bad luck, but it wouldn't last more than a month." He said, "Suppressing it for a month is also nice." Then, he wondered if Jodie actually cared about Andrew since she found something to suppress his bad luck. When Simone understood his thoughts, she chuckled and typed, "You're overthinking it. This tool only temporarily suppresses bad luck. However, once the effect wears off, he will experience misfortune. For instance, he now encounters minor mishaps every day. Although they occur frequently, they are not severe enough to harm him. However, if his bad luck is suppressed for ten days or even a month, it will erupt. When that happens, it won't be something minor anymore. It's like inflating a balloon. When there's too much air in it, it will burst. That's the logic. Jodie would have used it on herself when her luck weakened. She doesn't need to use it on Andrew." Simone speculated that Jodie had another talisman with her that wouldn't impact her luck while using the mystical tool. Upon reading Simone's message, Titus immediately abandoned his thoughts. In that moment, he realized that Jodie wanted Andrew to be even more unlucky. She intended to use the mystical tool on Andrew because she feared he would hold her back. Harold couldn't help but comment, "Your precious sister is ruthless! Isn't she satisfied with how miserable Andrew is?" He believed that the Gray Family was unfortunate to have such a sister. Even Leon thought Jodie was too merciless. Simone responded, "Well, they brought this upon themselves." Harold agreed, "True. They have no one to blame but themselves." Titus remained silent and felt hurt by their words. He then said, "I dare you to continue laughing at me, Harold. I wonder how Freya will teach you a lesson in the future. By then, I'll also remind you that you brought this upon yourself and deserve it." Gwen also chimed in, "Yes, you deserve it too!" Upon reading their messages, Harold was left speechless. Meanwhile, on the other side, Andrew lay down, groaning.
