The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Harold and Leon perused the group messages, their attention drawn to Simone's message. They exchanged sympathetic glances before turning their attention to Titus. Unable to resist, Harold remarked, "Titus, Andrew seems to have it out for you! Your first talisman was ruined because of Jodie Gray. You bought a second one, but instead of protecting you, it ended up benefiting him." Titus' face clouded over. "This isn't the first time that scoundrel has deceived me." He had tried to snatch the bracelet from his hand before, and now he had taken his talisman. He recounted his day with a touch of anger, "I was driving today, and the car in front suddenly braked, causing me to crash into them. The driver was particularly difficult to deal with. Not only did I have to pay for the damages, but it also delayed me for a long time. After that, I encountered traffic everywhere. When I finally got out of the car, I tripped and fell. I even mentioned that today was not going well; little did I know I was helping my fourth brother ward off bad luck." Despite the seriousness of the situation, Harold couldn't help but chuckle, "Titus, it's not Jodie who brought you bad luck, but your brother. It's almost comical." Leon also chuckled. "Titus, you are truly fortunate to have such a brother." Titus shot them a disdainful look. "You can have this kind of fortune." He then quickly asked in the group chat, 'So what should I do? Do I need to retrieve my previous talisman?' He didn't want to continue helping Andrew ward off bad luck. After all, Andrew was the one who had caused all this chaos, and he was an innocent bystander. 'There are two options,' Simone replied. 'One is to retrieve your previous charm, and the second is for me to erase the aura on that charm and draw a new one for you.'Titus suggested, 'Then, let's go with the second option. That scoundrel definitely won't return it to me. Draw a new one for me, and I'll buy it again.' He cursed under his breath, buying talismans alone had cost him 2.25 million. Simone: 'I bought some jade to carve charms, and there's no time limit for this. As long as you don't get hit, causing the charm to shatter, you can use it indefinitely, and the effect is much better than the previous charms. Would you like to buy one?' She had preemptively bought top-grade jade, fearing that someone might have ulterior motives against the Gray Family. Selling talismans and charms to Sc*mbag No. 2 and others could provide some security. It wasn't that she had any feelings for them, but it was to ensure her own safety. After all, if someone tampered with her bloodline, it could be detrimental to her. At the same time, she could also take advantage of the few sc*mbags. Titus immediately said, 'I want this kind of protective charm.'Simone asked, 'Don't you want to ask about the price?' He then asked, 'How much is it?' She replied, 'Three million. Non-negotiable.' It didn't have to be a high-quality jade for those sc*mbags; a medium-grade one would suffice. Carving a few pieces of jade worth a few hundred into protective charms and selling them for three million was simply a scam. When Titus saw the price, he grimaced. My sister is really ruthless! He knew that she was intentionally trying to scam him, but he couldn't refuse. Compared to money and luck, the latter was more important. 'Alright, three million it is. I want one,' Titus conceded. 'Do I need to come to your place and use my aura to carve it out?' 'Yes, come tomorrow,' she replied. 'I will finish carving it tonight and seal it with your aura tomorrow. And this time, don't let anyone snatch the protective charm away from you. Otherwise, if you need to buy another one, it will still cost another three million.' The reason for using Titus' aura to seal the protective charm was to prevent anyone from tampering with it. This way, if they tried to harm Titus and the others, she would be able to detect it immediately. Otherwise, a regular protective charm wouldn't require the use of an aura. 'I definitely won't let anyone snatch it again,' Titus assured. It was worth three million, after all. If Andrew dared to lay a finger on it again, he would beat him to death. 'I'll visit you tomorrow,' Titus said. 'Okay,' Simone replied. Leon noticed that their conversation was about to end and immediately gave Titus a meaningful look. Titus was speechless, but after thinking about it, he still asked, 'Simone, I saw on the viral news just now that there are rumors about you and Zac. Are you two together?' Simone didn't expect him to ask this. 'It's none of your business whether we are together or not,' Simone replied. 'Instead of meddling in other people's affairs, you should think about what to do if you have bad luck tonight.' Given Titus' personality, he wouldn't care about who she was with. It was very likely that Leon instigated him to ask, and she couldn't be bothered to deal with them. Titus looked at her words and said nothing. Does that mean that I'll have bad luck tonight? 'Will I have bad luck tonight?' he asked. 'I don't know. I'm going to rest. That's it,' Simone replied. Titus was dumbfounded. It was clear that Simone was not happy, and he glared at Leon, grumbling, "See, you made me offend her." Then, he immediately sent a message to the group, saying, 'Don't worry, just consider what I said earlier as nonsense. And you should know that I will never meddle in other people's affairs again.'Simone's reaction just now was to annoy Leon because she didn't want him to constantly pester Titus and encourage him to ask this and that. Seeing that Titus admitted his mistake so quickly, she retorted, 'You will be as unlucky as Andrew would be tonight. Just come and get the charm tomorrow.' Titus felt like crying because he didn't want to be unlucky. 'Can I come and pick up the charm tonight?' She answered, 'No, you cannot.' He replied, fearful of angering Simone and not receiving it tomorrow, 'Well, then rest well. I will contact you tomorrow.' Simone read the message but did not respond. At the bar, Leon lifted his glass and took a few large sips. He knew Simone and understood her previous statement, which left him feeling awful. Not only did she no longer want him, but she also did not desire his concern.Observing Leon's state, Titus remarked, "Leon, I believe you are destined to be with us. So, stop struggling." Leon glanced up at him and inquired, "What do you mean by being destined to be with you guys?" Titus replied, "Being despised and abandoned by Simone, but it's our fault. We're the ones who chose Jodie over Simone." If he had known that Jodie was this kind of person, he must have been crazy to have suppressed his sister for her. Leon pursed his lips and stated, "I did not cling to Jodie Gray." From the beginning, Simone was always more important to him. Harold sneered, "Leon, you are just a scumbag who is oblivious. No matter the reason, you aided Jodie against Simone. That really happened, didn't it?" Leon frowned. "I did not aid Jodie against Simone. It was my mom who asked me to protect Jodie, so I helped her, but I did not suppress Simone."Titus raised an eyebrow. "You kept it a secret from Simone and privately assisted Jodie, and you expected Simone to give up her spot in the variety show for Jodie. Isn't that suppressing her? When Simone was under attack, I did not see you assisting her with public relations. I assisted Jodie in attacking Simone and admitted that I was not a good brother. I know I have a problem, which is why Simone abandoned me. Leon, perhaps you have spent too much time with Jodie and turned into a hypocrite?" He only realized it after learning a hard lesson. When you are wrong, you are wrong. Why bother making so many excuses?
