The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 68 Is He Taking Me For A Fool?

Leon's expression turned uglier as he looked up, his gaze darkening. "Let me say it one more time: I did not betray Simone." "Don't talk nonsense." Leon felt a little panicked. Even Aaron misunderstood the situation he saw online and thought that Jodie and Leon were having an affair. What would Simone think if she saw that? Jodie hurriedly grabbed Aaron and said, "Aaron, don't say that about Leon." This whole thing was Simone's fault. Why didn't Aaron defend Leon and clarify the situation? For the first time, Aaron pushed Jodie's hand off his arm. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Jo, you know he's Simone's boyfriend, so why are you being so ambiguous with him? You're going too far." He did spoil Jodie a lot, treating her like a younger sister. After Simone came back, she was always competing with Jo, causing Jo to fall ill several times. She even almost drove Jo away from the Gray Family. That was why he was angry at Simone and protected Jo from being bullied by her. But that didn't mean he didn't care about Simone as a sister. Especially because he always felt guilty toward Simone. After all, it was his fault that he lost her when they were kids because he was playing around. In his heart, he considered Simone as a sister, so their conflicts and fights wouldn't affect their relationship. They were siblings with the same parents, sharing the same blood. They were the closest people to each other, and there shouldn't be any long-lasting grudges. Just like how he had fought with his other two brothers before, but they quickly made up. Now, it was Jo who had done something wrong to Simone, and he was also unhappy about it. Jodie couldn't believe what she was hearing from Aaron. Her eyes instantly turned red. She felt wronged and said, "Aaron, you actually don't believe me. And you're scolding me for Simone's sake." Normally, Aaron would definitely feel sorry for her and try to comfort her. But Leon and Jodie's situation had crossed a line. He pursed his lips and looked at her. "Jo, don't forget, Simone is also my sister. When she bullies you and takes your things, I will unconditionally stand by your side. But I cannot accept you secretly getting involved with her boyfriend. Why choose Simone's boyfriend when there are eligible bachelors from prestigious families or A-list actors in the entertainment industry? Why?" He was really angry. No wonder Simone treated Leon and Jo that way on the variety show. So, she already knew that these two had betrayed her? If it were him, he would be angry too! He couldn't help but wonder if Simone was taking her anger out on him as well. Jodie was infuriated by Aaron's questioning and almost fell backward in anger. This time, she wasn't pretending; the tears were genuine and uncontrollable. "I can't believe you don't trust me. Are you even my brother?" She grabbed Aaron and punched him a few times. "Ugh, I hate you. I don't like you anymore." Leon, seeing the two of them like this, became even more annoyed."That's enough from both of you." He was really fed up and raised his voice. "What are you doing, still flirting like this at a time like this?" Aaron and Jodie both looked at him. The anger on Aaron's face deepened. "Who's flirting? She's my sister, so don't you dare say that." Leon looked at him mockingly. "Which siblings are always hugging and even kissing each other? Those photos of Jodie and me on the internet were not intimate; they were taken from an angle." "But you and her being affectionate, that's for real." He hadn't known before that the siblings of the Gray Family were so close. After participating in the live variety show, he discovered that these two were very intimate in various ways. Especially when he saw a video in the car just now. The two of them were hugging and kissing in the yard, and they were caught off guard by the live broadcast. At that time, he only had one thought. Fortunately, Simone and the Gray Family brothers' relationship wasn't that close; otherwise, he would have been extremely disgusted. Of course, mainly because he was disgusted with the Gray Family brothers. But since Jodie wasn't his girlfriend, he didn't care how close she was to Aaron. But now he wanted to find an outlet. He would only retort sarcastically after being questioned by Aaron. Aaron was furious. "Our relationship as siblings is innocent. You're the one with a dirty mind, so you see others as dirty." Leon snorted coldly. "I'll return those words to you. My relationship with Jodie is pure, believe it or not." Then he didn't even eat his meal and called Jonah. He asked him to arrange another car for him. He didn't want to see the Gray siblings anymore. And if he took another car to the airport and got caught, his relationship with Jodie would be even more difficult to explain. Jonah was confused when he received the call. After asking, he found out that Leyla was in the car and would soon be near the restaurant. He asked Leon if he could take Leyla's car, as there wasn't enough time to arrange a separate car. As long as he didn't have to ride with the Gray siblings, Leon didn't mind and agreed without hesitation. He stood on the roadside outside the restaurant, waiting for the car. Aaron and Jodie were now giving each other the silent treatment. Jodie cried incessantly, and in the past, Aaron would have hugged her and comforted her. Aaron scratched his head irritably, not bothering to comfort Jodie for the first time, and turned away from the restaurant. He ignored Leon standing on the side of the road and got into the car, his face icy. This time, he took the co-driver seat instead of sitting in the back. Seeing that Aaron didn't say a word and just left her behind, Jodie couldn't help but cry in grievance. She felt a crisis coming. She knew that in Aaron's heart, his sister Simone was very important. Previously, she had used wicked means to constantly pit the Gray brothers against Simone behind Simone's back, making them believe that Simone often bullied her and wanted to force her to leave the Gray Family. She relied on them growing up together and years of feelings to stand by her side. This was the first time Aaron stood against her because of Simone. If Simone and Leon were really together, she would accept it. But she wasn't! She was clearly the most innocent and aggrieved victim. So why did Aaron blame her? And Leon was also a jerk. He didn't even comfort her and just left like that. Both of them treated her like this because of Simone, which was too much. "Simone, Simone, why couldn't that woman just move out of my way?" Jodie's resentment towards Simone grew stronger in that moment. "Why couldn't that woman just disappear before she returned?" Jodie thought to herself. Simone's return only caused more problems for her. "She is relentless, absolutely relentless." After contemplating for a moment, Jodie picked up her phone and dialed Titus' number. Titus was also feeling annoyed at that moment. When he saw that it was Jodie calling, he suddenly felt the urge to not answer. Not only was she keeping secrets from them, but she had also been involved with Leon behind their backs. He was not only her manager but also a loving brother. "Did she really not trust me? And why did she have to get involved with Simone's boyfriend, of all people?" This situation was also difficult for him to accept. Before the live broadcast, he had specifically asked Leon to take care of her. Who would have thought that these two had been secretly communicating frequently and their relationship was more complicated than it seemed? "Do these two think I'm a fool?"
