The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Upon witnessing Andrew's intense fury, Aaron not only lacked sympathy but also felt a sense of schadenfreude. Could it really be Luca's handiwork? If so, I can't help but commend him. I faced a barrage of criticism online when we filmed the first episode due to Jodie's actions. Andrew even ridiculed me then. Now, the tables have turned. Finally, it's Andrew's turn to bear the brunt. We were all criticized to the point of trending online for acting too intimate with Jodie. Andrew's actions were even more extreme. It would be unjust if he managed to evade the consequences. It's a fitting outcome. We are brothers, after all. We should all face condemnation together. Neither of them had considered that Titus might have leaked the video. They were convinced it was Luca's doing. After Andrew had vented his anger, Aaron suggested, "Let's head back to the inn." Fortunately, the streets were relatively deserted at this hour. Otherwise, Andrew's outburst would have been truly mortifying. Andrew took a deep breath. Then, he asked Aaron, "Do you still remember Luca's phone number?" Even though Aaron's memory was hazy, he replied, "No, I don't recall. We'll settle any scores once we get home." By then, I will relish watching Luca and Andrew squabble. After all, they are the closest among us brothers. Andrew even stayed with Luca for a while after he transferred his luck to Jodie and suffered a string of misfortunes. Growing up, they often conspired together. They even teamed up and tricked me once. Now, there's a chance they will fall out and even turn against each other because of the video. I will invite Titus to join me in witnessing this gripping drama. Andrew could only suppress the urge to call Luca and berate him. However, it was precisely this restraint that caused him to miss out on discovering one truth. Meanwhile, Simone and her group returned to the inn and retreated to their respective rooms to rest. Simone first organized the items she had purchased. She drew a concealing talisman and affixed it to the set of knife coins, preventing the negative energy from overflowing and affecting the unsuspecting folks around. After that, she drew a holy talisman and went to give it to Ethan.When she returned to her room, she saw Jodie emerging from her room and knocking on Andrew's door. At this moment, Simone was standing at the corner of the staircase, unnoticed by Jodie. Instead of approaching, she took a step back and observed. Soon, Andrew opened the door. Upon seeing Jodie at the door, he asked, "Jo, what's the matter?" Jodie's face was still slightly pale. "Andrew, I need to talk to you." "May I come in?" she asked. However, Andrew declined. "Perhaps not. If you enter, someone might see you when you leave. It will only complicate our relationship further, and someone might even start spreading rumors about us again." He was genuinely concerned that not only would he be too embarrassed to face his family and friends after returning to Cebros, but his parents would also be livid if he and Jo were caught up in more rumors while they were still on the variety show. Moreover, he still harbored doubts about what had transpired earlier. As a result, he was reluctant to be alone with Jo at this moment. Jodie was a little perplexed. "What do you mean it will only complicate our relationship further, and someone will spread rumors about us?" Andrew didn't hold back. He told her about the video and the trending topic. Jodie's expression shifted, and anger flashed in her eyes. I knew something was off when my luck started to wane again tonight. Initially, I thought it was due to the backlash I received from the viewers over the luck-borrowing incident and the rift between me and Andrew.But no! It turns out that Luca had posted the video online, causing me to face criticism once again! She was so furious that she felt like crying. "How could Luca stoop so low? He's being incredibly petty." It was just that one time I didn't explain clearly when we were abroad and caused him to misunderstand Simone! Does he really need to hold a grudge until now?! He even went to the extreme of doing this to Andrew and me. Andrew felt the same. "Exactly. That b*stard is becoming increasingly petty. I will settle the score with him once we return." Echoing his sentiment, Jodie added, "We must settle the score. We're the ones being humiliated. What does he gain from this? He's narrow-minded, resorting to actions that harm others as well as himself. He's sick." At this point, she could guess that not only were they being criticized, but Steven and Salma would also be livid. I'm not sure if they will blame me again after we return home this time. I am seriously being treated unfairly. "Andrew, I really did faint at the sight of blood tonight. You're not mad at me, right?" Then, she earnestly assured him, "Once the variety show ends, I will return your luck to you." When that time comes, I can just find an excuse to delay it. At this point, Andrew took every word she said with a grain of salt. Still, he had no other choice. I can't just force her to resolve it now. Therefore, he nodded. "Okay. After the variety show ends, let's seek Master Shawn's help." Then, Jodie instinctively wanted to hug Andrew's waist and lean against him.But because of the online incident, Andrew was like a startled deer at this moment. He immediately took a few steps back. "Jo, let's maintain some distance for now. Otherwise, if someone sees us, we'll be heavily criticized again." Moreover, he didn't know if it was because of a grudge, but he was now somewhat resistant to being close to Jo. Jodie, who was already in an awkward situation after failing to embrace him, felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing his words. However, she was also afraid of being seen and having any inappropriate videos of her posted online. If that happened, she would once again be subjected to criticism. Every time she was criticized by the entire internet, her luck would weaken and diminish a little. She couldn't afford for it to happen. Therefore, she nodded and said, "Alright. I will be careful."Then, she asked, "Andrew, do you think that Simone's studio could have been the one that released the video?" For some reason, she felt Simone had a higher chance of doing such a thing compared to Luca. Upon hearing that, Andrew frowned. "What are you implying? Simone wasn't at the hospital that day. Moreover, she didn't film any videos. So, how could her studio release it? Are you suggesting that Luca and Aaron sent her the video?" Ha! Simone doesn't even give those two the time of day. So, it's definitely impossible for her to release the video. Afterward, he continued, "I know you are currently at odds with Simone, but don't blame her for everything." Honestly, Jo is going a bit overboard with her accusation. "You seem tired today. Go back and rest." He didn't want to engage in further conversation.Jodie was speechless. Although Andrew's reasoning makes sense, I still feel that the online incidents are connected to Simone. But right now, Andrew and I are completely out of sync. We can't communicate effectively at all, and it's seriously exhausting. "Alright. I'll go back to my room and rest then. Andrew, you should get some sleep, too." With that, she turned around and headed back to her room. After both of them had closed their doors, Simone emerged from the corner and returned to her own room. She noticed that Jodie's luck had slightly diminished compared to earlier in the day. Coupled with Jodie's angry tone when she heard about the online incident, her judgment was indeed correct. As long as Jodie faces criticism from the entire internet, her luck will weaken and diminish.In that case, I will add fuel to the fire and directly put Jodie in a difficult situation. I want to weaken Jodie's luck to the point that she has no other choice but to continue targeting Sc*mbag No. 4. I'm curious to see if Sc*mbag No. 4 will still be as conflicted and reluctant as before after being targeted. Finally, the time to test their sibling bond has arrived. Moreover, I can also use this opportunity to investigate the person pulling the strings behind Jodie and Bailey. Thus, she took out her phone and texted Gary. 'Continue leaking major scandals about Jodie depending on the situation, and crush her directly.'
