The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 319 Will They Address This Issue?

Leon felt as if he was encountering Jodie for the first time. What's going on with her mindset? He furrowed his brows and questioned, "What does Simone have to do with any of this? Why are you implicating her? For over a decade, you assumed the role of the Gray Family heiress and employed various tactics to drive her away. "And that's not all. Do you still wish to keep an eye on her? In these three episodes of the variety show, you were always the one who instigated Simone first, and then she retaliated. You're truly hypocritical. You're just adept at pointing fingers at others." How could he have ever perceived Jodie as a virtuous person just because his mother vouched for her? He had to concede that, much like the Gray Family brothers, they were all duped by her pretense, and their judgment was obscured.Aaron also retorted coldly, "Jodie, this is a dispute between you and our brothers. Why do you have to drag Simone into it again? We have already wronged her for your sake. Don't you think that's enough? And do you genuinely believe we are fools? After being antagonized by you so many times, do you think we will still trust you?" Disappointment and frostiness filled his eyes. "I never anticipated that the sister I cherished for over a decade would have such a repugnant side." Impatiently, he inquired again, "Can you cease creating problems?" Jodie's expression shifted when faced with accusations from so many people. What she found most challenging to accept was that Leon and Aaron, who used to support her, were now all blaming her and siding with Simone. She merely mentioned Simone once, but they derided and rebuked her so vehemently to protect Simone. It was truly enough.Especially that phrase, 'Can you stop causing trouble?' It used to be directed at Simone. But now, they were all aiming it at her, making her feel wounded and unjustly treated, yearning to vent her frustration. She couldn't restrain herself and yelled, "A-All of you are ganging up on me. You're all too much!" Just then, a nurse emerged with a stern face and said, "Please refrain from making noise outside the operating room. Maintain silence!" After she finished speaking, everyone looked at Jodie with disapproval and revulsion. Aaron said with a grim face, "Are you not satisfied with how severely Andrew is already injured? Do you want to shout and distract the doctor to make him suffer even more? Either keep quiet or leave immediately."He also realized that Jodie wouldn't depart. She was shameless. He could only make her keep quiet. He speculated that at this moment, Jodie might still be hoping that Andrew would be deceived by her and forgive her. Since that was the case, let her wait for Andrew's response. Jodie was livid, but she also knew that she had to endure it. She had to wait for Andrew to come out, explain to him, and appease him. If she just left like this, she might genuinely lose Andrew, who truly loved her. So, she walked to a nearby spot and sat down, looking pitiful and isolated, as she sobbed quietly. If it were in the past, the Gray brothers would have felt sorry for her. But now, whether it was Aaron on the scene or Titus and Luca watching the live stream, they all had the urge to throw her out. Zac listened to Jodie's sobbing and felt repulsed. He looked at Jodie with contempt and said, "Are your tears an endless ocean? You've been crying since the first episode. It's time to stop. Even if you keep crying, your beloved Aaron won't pay attention to you, so why bother? If you want to cry, save it for when Andrew comes out. Let's see if he will still be moved by your tears." This time, Aaron concurred. "Yes, I'm irritated and disgusted watching you cry. You better save your tears for when Andrew comes out. No one is watching now, so no matter how much you cry, it's pointless." The sarcastic remarks from the two of them made Jodie unable to continue crying. How could there be such heartless men? Don't they know how to cherish a delicate and beautiful woman? Jodie knew she couldn't argue with them, so she bit her lip and stopped herself from crying. This also made the people present feel a sense of relief. The viewers in the livestream chat were also speechless, and the insults continued to circulate. After waiting for some time, the lights in the operating room went out, and Andrew was wheeled out. Aaron quickly approached and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how's my brother?" The doctor replied, "His injuries are severe. His scapula is shattered, and the ribs on his back are broken. The surgery was successful, but he will have to stay in bed for at least three to four months before he can get up and walk. And he can no longer engage in strenuous physical activities in the future." He emphasized. "During these six months, he must take good care of himself. Otherwise, if he gets injured again, he may have to use a wheelchair in the future."Aaron breathed a sigh of relief as long as the surgery was successful. "Okay, thank you, doctor." The group followed and went to the ward. After a while, Andrew woke up. There was still anesthesia in effect, so he only felt that his body was stiff and numb without feeling any pain. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Jodie, with swollen eyes, rushing to his bedside. Her eyes and face were full of concern. "Andrew, you're fine. That's great. I was so worried." Andrew felt disgusted when he saw her tear-streaked face. "I'm almost in a wheelchair, and you're saying I'm fine? What's wrong with you? And I'm not dead yet. If you cry like this, those who don't know the situation might think you were mourning for me." Jodie's worried face froze.Zac couldn't help but chuckle. "You're brothers, indeed. You can even say the same things." Aaron added, "That's right." Andrew looked at Aaron and said, "Didn't I say I didn't want to see her?" Aaron shrugged. "She insisted on staying, saying she was too worried about you. She wouldn't be at ease until she saw you come out unscathed. I can't just throw her out, right? This is a hospital. It's too uncivilized to do that." When they doted on Jodie, they treated her like a treasure. But once they grew tired of her, they could say anything. Jodie didn't expect Aaron to become more heartless. She decided that the next time she needed luck, she would find him. She glanced at Andrew and said, "Andrew, I'm genuinely concerned about you. Earlier, I—" But Andrew didn't want to hear it. "Enough. Don't explain anymore. It's unnecessary." Jodie bit her lip and said, "I just don't want you to misunderstand. I hope you'll be fine. I also want to make amends for the accident I caused by trying to be clever." This meant that she didn't intend to drag him on purpose. After a moment of thought, she said, "I won't participate in the variety show anymore. I'll stay in the hospital to take care of you." In the upcoming variety show, she would undoubtedly face rejection and ridicule from all the guests. There would surely be a lot of online criticism, and this time, she wouldn't be able to clear her name. So, it was better not to continue participating and stay in the hospital to take care of Andrew, hoping to win him back. Just then, Simone interrupted, "Are you planning to stay in the hospital to take care of him, or do you want to continue taking his luck?" She looked sympathetically at the pitiful Andrew and said, "He's already so unlucky, in such a miserable state, and you still want to exploit him?" Since Jodie willingly handed over leverage, she might as well expose the truth. Those who didn't know would think she couldn't bear to see Andrew in such a sorry state, and that was why she reminded them. In reality, she just wanted to hurt Andrew even more. This also put an end to Jodie's hope of exploiting his luck. It also served as a warning to the other sc*mbags to be careful not to accept anything from Jodie lest they lose their luck.Because Jodie's constantly replenishing luck was not a good thing for Simone. Of course, besides this, she also wanted to put pressure on the person behind Jodie. Since Simone exposed Jodie for transporting luck, would the geomancy association address this issue?
