The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 270 The Arrival Of Scoundrel Number Four

On this occasion, the guest, Luca, was replaced by Andrew. Tina and Dylan, the cameo guests, continued to participate, while Harry was succeeded by Ethan. As for the possibility of additional cameo guests appearing midway, Jonah had yet to make a decision. They wanted to evaluate the show's impact before making a final call. The production team arranged for the guests' travel this time, purchasing plane tickets for them to fly independently to Cubilis. Simone accompanied Ethan, while Zac escorted Dylan. Keira and Eric formed another pair. The six of them journeyed together. Leon, Aaron, and Tina traveled separately, while Andrew and Jodie shared a ride. Her injuries had healed completely, and even the scars on her head were no longer visible.The rendezvous point was in Cubilis. Jodie and Andrew were the first to arrive, followed by Leon and Aaron. Upon seeing Leon, she took the initiative to greet him, "Leon, you've arrived!" However, he disregarded her and walked past without acknowledging her, standing at a distance as if deliberately distancing himself from her. A hint of grievance flashed across her face, leaving her feeling extremely embarrassed. Internally, she cursed that Leon was losing his gentlemanly demeanor, and even his mother could no longer rein him in. Ignoring Jodie, she turned to Aaron and asked, "Aaron, why didn't you travel with us?" Aaron thought to himself, I wouldn't dare. I'm frightened. Outwardly, he offered a light smile and replied, "I flew from a different location, so I didn't coordinate with you guys." He then found an excuse to converse with Leon and walked over to him, distancing himself from Jodie and Andrew in the process. This left her feeling even more slighted than before. She couldn't comprehend why Aaron would treat her this way. So, she whispered to Andrew, "Is Aaron still upset with us?" "I think he wants to keep his distance from us." "But I believe we're a family and shouldn't be separated." We should still try to include Aaron in our group later. Maybe I can find an opportunity for Aaron to vent his anger on me. Andrew frowned. "His temper is worsening. We're siblings. Of course, we can't be separated." Hearing this, Jodie felt reassured. "I feel the same way." As they were conversing, the other six individuals arrived. Seeing Simone, Zac, and the others alighting from the car and approaching while engaged in jovial conversation, a hint of jealousy flashed in Jodie's eyes. Despite her efforts to get close to Zac, he disregarded her and actively stayed close to Simone, constantly sticking by her side. She thought Zac was blind and had poor taste in women. The same went for Keira and the others, who she deemed as opportunistic followers. If she had been the one who gained popularity in the previous two episodes, these people would have flocked to her like bees to honey. As they approached, the live broadcast commenced. The live camera was switched on. Jodie deliberately stepped forward and greeted Simone and the others with a smile. Simone disregarded Jodie and walked straight ahead. There was no need for pretense in the final episode when they had already had a falling out. Zac also harbored a strong dislike for Jodie and ignored her as well. The other few individuals didn't have such a confrontational relationship with her. However, they all offered Jodie a slight nod as a form of greeting. Andrew had been feeling uneasy lately. Seeing this scene stirred his anger, especially since he had approached Simone earlier, expressing his desire to purchase a talisman from her. However, Titus had relayed Simone's firm refusal to sell a talisman to him. What did that imply? She sold talismans to the other brothers but not to him! Why was he being treated differently? He didn't want to admit it, but he felt a pang of jealousy and bitterness. Observing how Jodie took the initiative to greet them, and how Simone and Zac coldly dismissed her, Keira and the others also looked down on her. Anger suddenly welled up within him. So, he walked over, furrowing his brow and addressing Simone. "Jo greeted you guys earlier."Hearing his words, Aaron thought his brother was being foolish, stirring up trouble as soon as the live broadcast started. He was even more reckless than Luca. As for intervening, he naturally wouldn't do it. He still remembered how Andrew had snatched his talisman, so it was only fair for him to face the consequences. We can't be the only ones who suffer. Leon saw Andrew acting foolishly and took the initiative to stand up for Jodie, thinking that this fool was done for. Titus and Luca, watching the live broadcast, had a look of anticipation in their eyes. Immediately, Luca felt an awkward urge to hide because he had acted just as foolishly in the previous episode… in real-time. Simone raised an eyebrow and looked at Andrew. "So, what are you trying to imply?" He emphasized. "Jo greeted you guys, and you didn't respond." He asked again, "Where are your manners?"Seeing Simone's cold and arrogant demeanor, he felt agitated and spoke aggressively. She sneered. "Jodie and I have already had a falling out. She's pretending to be innocent and greeting us. Who said we have to respond?" He retorted, "But we're all participating in the same variety show. Isn't it inappropriate for you guys to behave this way?" She looked at him and asked, "Didn't you watch the previous two episodes?" Zac chimed in, "Simone has always treated Jodie this way, so please understand that before you act all high and mighty." This fool is targeting Simone for Jodie again. Jodie deliberately feigned innocence and greeted them hypocritically. Even normal folks could see through it. Right? Hearing their conversation, Jodie reached out and tugged on Andrew's sleeve. "Let it go." She knew that the more she did this, the less he would let it go. Sure enough, he looked displeased at Simone. "You're going too far. You always try to snatch everything from Jo at home and deliberately target her here. It was Mom and Dad's decision to adopt Jo in the first place. Why do you have to take it out on her? This show was supposed to be Jo's. But ultimately, she had to rely on Aaron to secure a spot. In the last two episodes, you intentionally targeted her for online criticism, which resulted in her sustaining serious injuries and being hospitalized. Even after all that, you still won't let her off." He was finally venting all of his pent-up anger. It was not just Jodie's grievances but also his unfair treatment by Simone. Meanwhile, Aaron's expression changed upon hearing these words. Is he out of his mind? Why is he spouting nonsense? Titus and Luca also didn't anticipate Andrew going to such extremes. By airing these grievances live on air, was he attempting to further divide the family?However, Simone was not only unfazed, but a smile also formed at the corner of her mouth. She was simply waiting for Scoundrel Number Four to instigate a confrontation. After all, she had a significant revelation that she had yet to disclose. Now that it was the final episode of the show, she naturally wanted to expose it during the live broadcast. And here comes Scoundrel Number Four, knocking on my door…
