The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 267 A Grave Misstep

Simone was unfazed by Titus' pitiful condition and allowed him entry. He glanced at her and asked, "Isn't it even more unfortunate to obstruct a disaster? I don't recall Andrew being as unlucky as I am now!" Simone nodded in agreement, "Indeed, because you shielded him from such a severe disaster, he can enjoy three days without misfortune." Titus was left speechless. "So, I can only protect him for three days? If this repeats, won't I be doomed?" He couldn't help but harbor this doubt. Simone reassured him, "You won't be doomed, but encountering such misfortune frequently is inevitable." Titus dreaded experiencing such bad luck again and was even more thankful and terrified that he hadn't transferred his luck to Jodie earlier. Otherwise, if it happened a few more times, he would be ruined."Are you going to give me that protective charm now?" He was impatient and could only find solace by possessing that object. Simone produced a finely crafted mini jade charm, the size of a thumbnail. Using a talisman pen, she channeled his aura into the jade amulet and sealed it with charm drawings. Ten minutes later, she threaded the jade charm with red string and handed it to Titus. "It's ready. I've channeled your aura into this protective charm, rendering the previous talisman useless." Titus clutched the protective charm tightly in his hand, thinking to himself that Simone had a knack for making money. She spent merely ten minutes on this mini jade amulet and earned three million, which is far more lucrative and comfortable than working laboriously as a broker. Of course, he didn't dare voice such thoughts. After hanging the charm around his neck, he heaved a sigh of relief, finally feeling secure again. Then, he remembered something. "Harold and Leon also wish to purchase these protective amulets. Will you sell to them?" Simone responded, "I can sell one to Harold but not Leon." That morning, she discovered that someone had released photos of the airport incident that debunked the rumors from yesterday. It wasn't Zac who did it, so the only one left was Leon. To her, Leon was quite absurd. Even though they had broken up and were no longer in a relationship, he still wanted to meddle in her affairs. He thought too highly of himself. Upon hearing this, Titus realized that Leon had upset Simone. As for why he upset her, it must be because of the scandal. In his heart, he silently mourned for his good friend. However, he didn't mention Leon again, fearing he might upset Simone. Now, it was more crucial to pacify her, so he had to put his good friend aside. "Alright, I'll ask Harold to get in touch with you and collect the charm when he's free." He asked, "If I have this charm, will I no longer experience bad luck today?" Simone replied, "It can only be said that Andrew will experience bad luck, and he won't be able to affect you anymore. If you're destined to have bad luck, you will still have it." She gave Sc*mbag No. 2 a carved charm, which primarily served to prevent someone from attacking from behind and to ensure one's safety. She didn't care about anything else and intentionally didn't draw the full talisman. Titus had no choice but to accept it. "Okay. So, starting the day after tomorrow, will Andrew continue to experience bad luck?" Simone nodded. "Yes." Titus felt relieved upon hearing this as Andrew, that scoundrel, deserved to continue experiencing bad luck. He wanted to say something to get closer to Simone, but she completely ignored him and directly ordered him to leave. Out of options, he left dejectedly. After going downstairs, he shared what Simone had said in the group chat. Harold replied, 'Fortunately, Simone's forgiving enough not to hold a grudge against me. I'll seek her out tomorrow to buy the charm.' Leon felt a pang in his heart. 'Did she mention why she wouldn't sell it to me?' Titus: Isn't it obvious? Harold: Leon, you lack self-awareness compared to Titus and should learn from him. Simone is clearly annoyed by your interference and wants to deal with you. Why feign ignorance when you clearly understand? Leon: Can you not be so harsh? It was too cruel to not even allow him some self-deception. Harold: If it weren't for our friendship, I wouldn't bother saying these things. I just want you to see clearly. Leon: Then, let's temporarily not be brothers. He didn't want to see things clearly; he couldn't let go. Otherwise, it would hurt more than cutting flesh. Harold: You're beyond saving… But I'm not qualified to criticize you. After all, I'm following in your footsteps, but your leadership skills are really poor. Leon was speechless. 'That's your own doing; what does it have to do with me? Let's go out for a drink.' Harold: I'm not coming. I'm not as free as you. Titus: I'm not joining either. I'm injured and can't drink. Harold: What happened to you? Did you have bad luck last night? Titus then explained what happened last night in a voice message. Harold: Titus, you're unlucky. This time, you must protect your charm well.At the same time, he felt a sense of caution and needed to protect himself. Leon: Yes, if it gets stolen again, you might be in even worse shape. Titus: I won't meet Sc*mbag No. 4 anytime soon and will just watch him experience bad luck. It would be best if Simone handles him properly during the variety show. When it came to Andrew, he was filled with resentment. Harold: Now that you mention it, I'm also looking forward to seeing Simone dealing with your fourth brother. Leon: I can watch it live. I'm also looking forward to it. It was clear that all three of them were eagerly waiting for Andrew to be dealt with. On the other side, Andrew was lounging on the couch in Luca's apartment, playing mobile games and sneezing a few times in a row. Despite this, he was in high spirits. Since snatching Titus' talisman yesterday, he hadn't experienced any more bad luck, and it felt incredibly comfortable. However, his good mood only lasted for three days. On the fourth day, he started experiencing bad luck again. Moreover, he discovered that the talisman he had kept in his clothes had turned to ashes, which confirmed his belief that the talisman drawn by Simone could help him ward off bad luck. So, he called Titus again, and the latter answered the call. "Titus, where are you?" Titus decided not to settle the score with Andrew for now; he still had to dig a pit for the other two brothers. "I'm outside. What's up?" Andrew said, "I would like to invite you to dinner. Shall we dine together?" Titus thought, D*mn it, Andrew is treating me like a scapegoat, planning to exploit me to death. Did I ever provoke him? He said, "I'm busy. Andrew, don't play tricks with me. I don't have a talisman on me, but Luca and Aaron do. If you want to exploit someone, can you exploit someone else in the future?"Stunned, Andrew thought, So, Titus has seen through it. He didn't bother to hide it anymore. "You're really smart, Titus. Thanks for the reminder; then I'll exploit someone else." After saying that, he hung up the phone. Then, he recalled, No wonder Luca has been touching his left arm these past few days. Seems like he took off the charm from his neck and hid it on his arm. Is he afraid that I'm going to snatch it? These plastic brothers are wary of me. Since that's the case, I'm going to make Luca my next target. Hence, after Luca returned in the evening, Andrew feigned a stumble and spilled all the water he was holding onto his clothes. Luca had to change his clothes, but before he could put on clean clothes, Andrew quickly barged in through the door. While Luca was distracted, he grabbed the charm tied to his arm, tore the red string, snatched it away, and bolted. "Luca, I'll borrow your charm for a bit." When Luca realized what was happening, Andrew had already dashed out of his bedroom, and he also heard the sound of the front door opening and closing, which meant that Andrew had just fled. Stunned, Luca wanted to curse so badly and regretted even more that he had hesitated these past two days about staying at a hotel. Although this place belonged to him, he could have avoided trouble! He had made a grave misstep.
