The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 282 Can We Change?

As crowds of people eagerly lined up for Simone's makeup services, a dispute was brewing among Zac's group. "Why don't we continue performing? I can play the harp and perform a traditional dance," Jodie proposed. Andrew concurred, "That's an excellent idea. Jo's dance performance is truly captivating." However, Zac scoffed, "Haven't you already showcased those talents in the previous two episodes? Particularly in the last one, you played instruments and danced extensively, yet earned minimal money. Haven't you learned from that experience? Now, you wish to embarrass yourselves again in this ancient city teeming with skilled harpists and traditional dancers?" Jodie inwardly fumed, This guy is pushing it too far. He's incredibly mean. She was a professional. How could she be compared to the locals? How could she possibly be an embarrassment?Andrew found Zac's remarks particularly insulting and grumbled, "You're crossing a line." Zac glanced at him and retorted, "What? Can't I state the obvious?" Andrew silently thought, This guy is a real piece of work. He sarcastically remarked, "With such a sharp tongue, you'll likely struggle to find a girlfriend in the future." He had never encountered someone with such a caustic demeanor. Zac sneered, "If I had to choose between lifelong bachelorhood or dating your sister, I'd prefer to remain single." Andrew choked, "You—My sister, Jo, wouldn't be interested in you." He had heard rumors about Zac's arrogance and venomous attitude, especially towards women who showed interest in him, and he had thought the rumors were exaggerated. But now, he realized that the rumors were an understatement. A look of relief washed over Zac's face. "That's a relief." Andrew was left speechless, while Jodie was so upset that she felt like crying. She had only approached him a few times, but why did it sound like she was a terrifying monster pursuing him when he said it? Zac was becoming increasingly unbearable. Simone must have badmouthed her to him behind her back. With tears welling up in her eyes, she said in a choked voice, "Fine, I won't play the instruments or dance anymore. So, what do you suggest we do next?" Just don't ask me to do it later. Seeing Jodie in this state, Zac was repulsed. "Stop playing the victim and pretending like someone has wronged you. If you want to be an angel, then act like one. An angel doesn't cry with red eyes every day and should exude a sunny and refreshing aura. You're more like what they call a pretentious b*tch online." He was genuinely annoyed that Jodie always used these few fixed expressions, which only the Gray Family brothers could tolerate.Keira couldn't help but laugh at his comment. "You really understand." That meant that she agreed with what he said. Raising his chin, he said proudly, "Of course, I am the master of identifying b*tches." Whether it was before or after his debut, countless pretentious girls were trying to hook up with him, and Jodie's attempts were simply not worth mentioning. It was obvious that she was just a pretentious girl, but she insisted on pretending to be an angel, which even he felt embarrassed about on her behalf. Even if she wants to be an angel, she should be more like Simone. Jodie's expression froze because she didn't expect Zac to have even more venomous words. "If you're so capable, then go make money on your own." She couldn't help it, turning around angrily and storming off. If she continued to stay with him, she was afraid she would go crazy. This jerk always insulted her, and this was being broadcast live. Her reputation would be ruined, so she decided not to be with him for the time being. Otherwise, her online reputation would be even harder to clear. Jodie's departure clearly showed that she was driven away by Zac. Seeing this, Andrew glared at Zac. "You have no manners. We'll make money separately." It would also save them from this jerk who always bullied Jodie. Zac showed a surprised smile. "That's a relief." He couldn't ask for more! He and Keira thought that Jodie had made the right decision. They were already tired of her pretentiousness and pitiful attitude. It was already the third episode; couldn't she change? Andrew was speechless with Zac and turned around to chase after Jodie, who was walking and crying as if she had been badly bullied. In the live broadcast room, the audience was divided into two groups. One group supported Zac, agreeing that Jodie was always like this and that it was annoying to watch. She was just a pretentious b*tch, so why cry when it was pointed out? This was the majority's opinion. There were also a small number of Jodie's fans and viewers who thought Zac went too far. If they didn't even try, how would they know that Jodie wasn't good enough? It was too much of him to mock and embarrass her. They called for Jodie to make money using her own methods and then come back to prove Zac wrong. Andrew's thinking aligned with these viewers. First, he comforted and reassured Jodie. Nevertheless, because of what happened at the hospital before and both of them were paying attention this time, he didn't hug and comfort her. After Jodie was coaxed, he said, "Let's play the harp and dance. I don't believe we'll earn less than Zac Turner. This is an ancient city, and what everyone likes is the harp and traditional dance. Don't listen to Zac Turner's nonsense because he doesn't know anything. Let's show him who's right and prove ourselves. We won't back down from a challenge." Jodie thought the same way and was particularly indignant. Why did Zac look down on her? She wanted to show him that she could earn money based on her abilities. However, she didn't voice it out like Andrew did. Firstly, Zac Turner had too many fans, and she was afraid of being criticized. Secondly, she hadn't given up on him. Zac was so protective of Simone and so sarcastic toward her, so she wanted to make Zac hers and then switch roles—let him protect her and criticize Simone. So, after considering it for a moment, she said, "I'll listen to you, Andrew." After all, it was Andrew who said it. If she faced criticism, he would be there to support her and also give her an escape route. If she couldn't earn much money like in the second round, it wasn't because she insisted on doing it that way, but because Andrew influenced her.Titus and Luca, who were watching the live broadcast, felt a sense of familiarity when they heard Jodie's words. Titus sneered, "You see if she messes up, the blame will fall on Andrew." Luca agreed, "That's absolutely true." He had personally experienced it and understood it deeply. Before, when he participated in variety shows himself, he didn't notice this. But now, watching this live broadcast, he had a completely different feeling. It could only be said that the onlookers had a clearer view. He sighed. "The more I watch, the more I realize that Jodie is so scheming. And she uses all of it on the people who truly care and love her." If he hadn't experienced it himself, he wouldn't have believed that this was his sister, who had been spoiled for over ten years.
