The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 315 Their Regret

Aaron was taken aback by Andrew's behavior. Had Jodie's provocation affected him so deeply? "Andrew, are you okay?" Struggling through the pain, Andrew replied, "No, I'm not. It hurts a lot." Aaron was worried, but he couldn't help but chastise him. "You've been so foolish. I've warned you repeatedly, but you wouldn't listen. She used your luck and even forced you to wear a mystical tool that could harm you, yet you still haven't learned your lesson." If only he had heeded their advice and distanced himself from Jodie, this wouldn't have happened. During the competition, he could've used his fall from the horse as an excuse to rest, but he stubbornly followed Jodie's advice and rode until the end."Did you ever consider that this could be the result of your stubbornness?" Andrew managed a bitter smile. "Who could've predicted this?" "Well, at least now you can see her true, cold-hearted nature. Otherwise, no matter how much we tried to warn you, you wouldn't have believed us." He still couldn't understand Jodie's actions. "We've treated her so well since she came to our house. I can't comprehend why she's treating us so cruelly." Aaron thought for a moment. "Perhaps we spoiled her too much and made her believe that our efforts for her were simply expected. It's not about how we raised her; her nature is just cold and heartless. When we treat her well, she thinks it's her due, but as soon as we become distant, she feels wronged and blames us." Andrew had a sudden realization after hearing Aaron's words. Was that it? No wonder when he got injured, Jodie didn't care about his injuries but instead felt wronged because of his words. She was blaming him again. He didn't even know how severe his injuries were, yet she still blamed him. It was absurd. His years of care and concern for her had made him look like a fool. After a moment of hesitation, he asked the question that had been on his mind. "Aaron, what do you think Simone would do if she hadn't disappeared and had grown up spoiled by us? If she were in the situation we just experienced, what would she do?" Aaron was surprised by Andrew's question. He thought for a moment before answering, "She would probably do everything in her power to protect us. Instinctively, she might push us off the horse and take the fall herself, or maybe she would pull us off the horse with her. One thing's for sure. She definitely wouldn't use us as a shield. Furthermore, I believe she'd do the same even if we had recognized her after she went missing for years."He continued, "You're asking me this because you're comparing Jodie to Simone in your mind, but you already know the answer, don't you?" Andrew's smile turned bitter. "Yes." He had imagined several scenarios, but none of them involved Simone doing what Jodie had just done. "Aaron, I regret it now. I regret treating Simone the way I did because of Jodie." Since Simone was his blood relative, and he had bonded with Jodie for over a decade, he had taken Simone for granted and hurt her without a second thought. He deserved the consequences. Aaron also wore a bitter smile. "Yes, we both regret it. But what good is regret now? The damage has been done. Simone will never forgive us. Let me ask you something. Will you forgive Jodie and treat her as you did before?" Andrew felt even more distressed by that question. "No, I won't. It's no wonder Simone treats us this way. I couldn't understand why she would cut ties with us, even though we share the same blood; I couldn't comprehend why she became cold and cruel to us. But after what happened, I finally understand. Only the person wearing the shoe knows where it pinches. Without experiencing others' suffering, one cannot advise others to be kind. I understand now. It's just a shame that I understood it too late." After speaking his mind, filled with regret and remorse, Andrew suddenly coughed violently, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His body writhed in unbearable pain, a pain so intense it felt life-threatening. At that moment, his affection for Jodie completely evaporated. The doctor immediately took emergency measures for Andrew and advised him not to speak anymore. Seeing this, Aaron stopped talking and looked on anxiously.Andrew's injuries were severe, and his life was hanging in the balance. In another country, Titus and Luca were stunned by what they saw on the polo field. They had expected Andrew to struggle, but they hadn't anticipated such a tragic outcome. Luca's face was a mix of emotions as he commented, "Jodie is utterly ruthless." Only enemies would act in such a way. How could she treat Andrew, who loved her most, like this? Titus was also taken aback by Jodie's ruthlessness. "She's a wolf in sheep's clothing, cunning and heartless." He was grateful, once again, that he wasn't on Jodie's side. Otherwise, he couldn't imagine the consequences he would face. "Judging by Andrew's reaction, he must have realized his mistake," Luca remarked. Andrew's last words indicated that he had completely lost faith in her.Titus sneered, "If he continues to protect her, then he is beyond saving." After that, they watched the scene in the ambulance. Andrew's words made them uneasy because they too regretted their actions. But it was too late for regrets. The damage had been done, and they couldn't change Simone's decisions. They had brought this upon themselves, and they had to accept it, no matter how much they didn't want to. Watching Andrew cough up blood, his face pale and contorted in pain, the doctors rushed to provide emergency treatment. His condition instantly worried the two brothers, so they called Aaron and asked him to keep them updated on Andrew's condition. Though they had wanted to see Andrew suffer, they hadn't expected him to end up in such a dire state. At that moment, Titus and Luca felt a newfound revulsion towards Jodie, a feeling they had never experienced before. Previously, they had only been disappointed by her true nature and had wanted to distance themselves from her, but they hadn't seriously considered taking any action against her. Now, they genuinely despised her and wanted her out of the house as soon as possible. Keeping her around would only invite disaster. In another country, their parents were shocked by what they saw on the live broadcast. They hadn't expected Jodie to act in such a way. While they were angry, they were also deeply worried about their son's injuries.Steven, who had initially planned to switch off his phone, decided against it. Instead, he contacted Aaron and asked to be kept updated on Andrew's condition. Then, he turned to Salma, whose expression was grim, and said, "I know you were hesitant to let go of Jodie before, and you felt relieved when I didn't insist on sending her away. I even hired a tutor to teach her manners. It was for her benefit and to test whether she deserved to be part of our family. But after everything that's happened, we can't keep such a disaster in our house. I've asked my secretary to book tickets for us to return to Cubilis today. We'll visit Andrew there." He was extremely worried about his son's severe injuries and whether his life was in danger. Salma's eyes flickered. Now that her previous thoughts had been exposed by her husband, she felt somewhat embarrassed. This time, Jodie had indeed crossed the line, so she nodded and agreed, "Alright. I will follow your lead. After this reality show shooting is over and she returns to Cebros, I will send her away." She didn't really want to go back to Cubilis because the commotion caused by this incident would surely lead to criticism from her in-laws at Gray Manor. Her friends and acquaintances in their social circle would also bring this up. However, when her husband mentioned going back, she dared not defy him. Moreover, she was also quite worried about her son's condition.
