Titus and Luca watched the live stream at home, their faces etched with deep concern. Unable to suppress his frustration, Luca burst out, "What on earth has that fool done now?" They had weathered previous criticism and had finally found some respite. However, Andrew's reckless actions had once again thrust them into the crosshairs of netizens. Opening Facebook, Luca was met with a rapidly dwindling fan base, their latest post swamped with insults and sarcasm. He felt a strong urge to confront Andrew, stating, "The past incidents were undeniably our fault. We were duped and misled. Now, thanks to Andrew, Simone will despise us even more." Their efforts to mend their relationship with Simone through the purchase of talismans and jade pendants were now in shambles, all due to Andrew. "No wonder Simone refused to sell talismans and jade pendants to him. He's unworthy of them." Titus shared Luca's frustration, harboring thoughts of physically confronting Andrew. "He's nothing but a troublemaker. We should never have let him participate in the final episode of the variety show. He's the real fool. He should have faced Simone alone. Why drag us into this?" The situation was spiraling out of control, all due to Andrew's actions, exacerbated by the previous incident with Simone and the controversial photos of him with Jodie. Titus, as their agent, was now under intense scrutiny and trending. Just when things seemed to have calmed down, and he was ready to return to work, Andrew managed to stir up trouble once again.Watching the live stream with them, Salma was livid. "What on earth did Andrew do?" It seemed like he was intentionally causing trouble for no apparent reason. Salma couldn't understand why he couldn't just greet Simone. If he hadn't provoked Simone, she wouldn't have released the recording. Salma was seething. With a hint of resentment, she exclaimed, "I never expected that Simone would actually record our conversation that day. Family matters should not be aired in public. How could she do such a thing?" With the recording exposed, the Gray Family and their reputation in the industry were at risk of being tarnished. Salma's anger escalated as she observed the live chat, filled with insults directed at her. She couldn't believe that her prestigious reputation was being sullied in this manner. Having been raised in a respected family and later marrying into the Gray Family, this was the first time she had faced such disgraceful criticism. She could foresee the mockery and laughter from those who had previously been at odds with her. She also wondered how her close friends would now view her. Salma's feelings toward Simone, her biological daughter, became increasingly complicated. On one hand, she felt a sense of guilt toward her biological daughter. On the other hand, Simone had publicly exposed the recording during the live broadcast, revealing the Gray Family's secrets to the world. She couldn't help but feel somewhat angry with Simone. Why couldn't we discuss it privately? Why did she have to expose this recording to everyone? And why did she even record it in the first place? Who was she trying to protect herself from? Titus scoffed, "She's already cut ties with us. What family secrets are left to hide?" He saw through his mother's illusions.Knowing Simone as he did, he believed that Simone had intended to release the recording all along. She was merely waiting for the right moment. Most likely, Simone was sure that Andrew would willingly walk into the trap. Sure enough, that fool didn't disappoint her, providing her with the perfect opportunity to strike. Simone's cunning and strategic move during the final episode of the variety show had successfully captured the attention of millions of viewers. All phones were usually confiscated before the recording started. Simone seized this opportunity to play the recording in front of the entire national audience, dealing a devastating blow to them. At the time, when he and his siblings were accomplices, he didn't perceive their actions as bullying or suppressing Simone. However, after listening to the recording, he felt the urge to crawl into a hole. On one side, he felt embarrassed. On the other side, he acknowledged that they had gone too far. During that time, Jodie had instigated and insinuated a certain idea—Simone had stolen something from her. The idea was that if Jodie wanted a spot, Simone should have given it to her. Reflecting on this, he sighed. "Now that I listen to the recording again, I realize that we were all so foolish, even Reuben." They had all been manipulated by Jodie. Luca stated, "Indeed, especially Andrew and me. We were so naive, spurred on by Jodie, and rushed into battle for her. Andrew is even more of a fool, going on the live broadcast to invite insults."He looked at Jodie, who was pretending to be innocent and aggrieved with her head lowered during the live broadcast. He added mockingly, "Look, he went up there and made a fool of himself. Not only did he fail to please Jodie, but she probably resents him now. Just like last time with me. Whenever we confront her, as soon as things don't go her way, Jodie starts playing the victim and acting innocent. This time, the blame for Andrew's actions has fallen solely on him. She's Jodie, and she's innocent." Reflecting on the situation, he couldn't help but ask, "How blind were we before that we couldn't see through all this?" Titus chimed in, "How could we have known that our sister, whom we loved and cherished for over a decade, would constantly play mind games with us and manipulate us? Because we were unprepared, we were repeatedly betrayed." That was the most ironic part. Luca agreed, "Indeed, who could have imagined that she would be such a selfish, self-serving, and malicious person?" Every time, she instigated and incited them, waiting for them to charge into battle. When she succeeded, she reaped the benefits. When something went wrong, they took the blame while she hid innocently behind them. Considering Andrew, he wondered, "Do you think Andrew will see through Jodie this time on the variety show?" He recalled that Andrew faced criticism and lost countless fans because of Jodie when the show started. He wondered if Andrew would take any more proactive actions. Titus pondered for a moment and commented, "Even if Andrew doesn't do it, Jodie certainly will manipulate him. In the end, Andrew will be the one who suffers. Therefore, this time, he should be able to discern Jodie's true intentions." Luca agreed, "If he still fails to see through it, then he is beyond help and deserves all the misfortune." Titus firmly stated, "Regardless of whether he can be helped or not, he deserves all the misfortune. Not only did he cause trouble, but he also specifically dragged his siblings down." Because of that troublemaker, his return to work at the company was delayed once again. As Luca was about to speak, his phone rang. After answering the call, he couldn't help but curse, "Andrew is just as much of a disaster as Jodie." Titus inquired, "What happened?" Luca replied, "Just now, my agent called and informed me that the release of my new song has been postponed. The concert that was being prepared has also been postponed, and the autograph session next week has been canceled altogether." All these setbacks were caused by Andrew, who faced criticism, and as a result, his siblings were dragged into it as well. Titus rubbed his forehead. "We are truly unfortunate to have such a brother." He glanced at Salma, whose face was pale. "Mom, it was a huge mistake to adopt Jodie into our family. Look at the chaos now; I can't even show my face outside."
