The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 71 He Is Truly Her Own Flesh And Blood

After Simone finished speaking, she averted her gaze from Leon. She playfully nudged Zac's arm. Then she pointed to the open magazine and asked, "Have you been here?" She was flipping through a travel magazine and happened to come across an article about a beautiful island. In addition to cutting ties with the scumbags and focusing on work to prolong her life, if she had a second chance, she also wanted to fully enjoy life and travel to different places whenever she had the opportunity. Zac's eyes filled with amusement. Simone's action of nudging his arm just now was so adorable! He leaned over to look at the magazine page and said, "I've actually been there. Although it's a small island, but..." Zac continued, passionately introducing the island to Simone.Simone's eyes also lit up with a smile. She was very interested and said, "When I have the time, I want to go there." Zac immediately invited in a low voice, "I'm familiar with this place, and I know a great diving spot that few people go to. How about I take you there?" She considered Zac a friend, so she didn't refuse and replied, "Sure, we can ask Keira if she wants to come too. Or we can invite a few more friends to join us." Going out with a group of people would be lively and fun. Zac actually wanted to go alone with Simone, but he knew it wasn't possible. Otherwise, if they were photographed and it ended up online, it might turn into a scandal about the two of them being in a relationship. He wasn't afraid of those things himself, but he was afraid it would have a negative impact on her. He took the opportunity to finalize the plan and said, "Then, it's settled." He deliberately looked at Leon, who was still standing nearby and listening to their conversation, with a hint of disdain. "Leon, what are you still doing here? The show is already over!" In other words, stop acting here. Just as Leon was about to speak, a flight attendant walked over. She politely asked him to return to his seat as the plane was about to take off. He swallowed the words he was about to say and maintained his composure as he nodded at the flight attendant. "Alright!" He took one last deep look at Zac and Simone before turning back to his seat. Once seated, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep with a serious expression on his face. Because they were sitting close by, he could still hear Simone's cheerful tone as she discussed with Zac how they would explore the island.What hurt him the most was that Zac suggested going together, and Simone actually agreed. Did breaking up make her this happy? He didn't believe it. Jodie tightened her grip on her skirt, her eyes filled with gloom. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that Leon would stoop so low to explain and make peace with Simone. When they were alone together, he would go along with her but still maintained a cold and dignified demeanor. So, I'm not his true love? She couldn't understand; she felt things shouldn't be like this. And she couldn't help but wonder if people did not cherish what they had when they had it. It was only when it was lost that one would realize its value, which was why she regretted it more and more.She shouldn't have schemed to make Simone leave the Gray Family and break up with Leon. If Simone hadn't abruptly decided to leave the Gray Family and break up with Leon, things wouldn't have developed into this and completely gone out of her control. Aaron listened carefully to Simone and Zac's conversation and couldn't help but feel jealous. Not even I have taken Simone on a trip before, so why does he get the chance? This guy was shameless, constantly getting close to his sister. Looking at his appearance, it was like a big wolf dog wagging its tail, shamelessly seeking favor from his sister. After about three hours, the plane arrived at Cebros Airport. The production team escorted Simone and the other six guests off the plane and headed toward the exit.Halfway there, a voice filled with joy suddenly sounded ahead. "Simone!" Simone heard the familiar voice and looked up. She saw a beautiful and tall woman waving at her from the front. This was her best friend, Gwen Foster, who was also Leon's twin sister. They used to have a good relationship as siblings, but after Leon returned to Cebros, they gradually grew apart. On the first day they met, Gwen found Simone very likable and compatible. The longer they played and spent time together, the deeper their bond became, making them each other's best friends. She showed a surprised smile, "Gwen!" Gwen rushed over, embracing Simone tightly, "Darling, I've missed you so much!" Simone reached out and hugged her back, "I've missed you too."After they let go, Simone linked arms with Gwen and asked as they walked, "Why did you come back?" Gwen had a conflict with her family before, and coincidentally, the person she liked went abroad, so she followed. In her previous life, Gwen didn't come back before she passed away, but they had always kept in touch. Whenever Simone had a fight or was in a silent treatment bout with Leon, Gwen would always stand by her side. So, seeing Gwen suddenly, she was truly surprised. Gwen looked at Simone with a tender gaze and said, "Because I saw what was trending. I knew you were coming back to Cebros today, so I bought a ticket and flew back. I was planning to go back to the apartment first to surprise you. But as I was walking, I overheard people talking about you, and when I turned around, we unexpectedly met at the airport." She saw Simone being bullied and having a fight with her brother. Worried that Simone might get hurt or upset, she rushed back to be with her. Simone felt warm in her heart and leaned her head against Gwen's shoulder. "I'm fine. You're the best, Gwen." Gwen indulged her, "Of course, I'm your heart warmer." Leon was surprised to see his sister suddenly appear. Now, seeing his sister getting cozy with Simone, it was as if she hadn't even noticed him, her brother. He couldn't help but speak up. "Gwen, did you tell the family about your sudden return?" Upon hearing Leon's words, Gwen turned to look at him. She retorted, "Why should I?" Leon frowned. "If you don't tell them, how will they prepare?" Gwen pouted. "No need for preparation. I'm not going back." Leon emphasized, "But that's your home." Gwen rolled her eyes and said, "I don't care, and I don't want to go back and deal with that woman." Leon's brow furrowed even deeper as he responded, "She's your mother." His sister had deceived him. Whenever he thought of or mentioned their mother, he automatically associated her with that individual. Gwen impatiently waved her hand and stated, "Please don't bring her up to me. It's irritating just to hear about her." Then, she released Simone's arm and turned to face her older brother. She scrutinized him, scanning Leon from head to toe.Leon was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?" Gwen displayed a look of disdain and replied, "I'm observing my dear brother, who turns out to be a deceitful scoundrel." Leon's face darkened as he said, "Gwen, you can't speak to me like that." Gwen sneered and said, "Not only do I speak like that, but I also want to physically confront you." And then, to everyone's surprise, she raised her hand and struck Leon's left cheek. While he was still attempting to react, she continued to strike him all over. "Leon, you despicable person, how dare you align yourself with those shameless individuals and torment my Simone. I'm giving you a taste of your own medicine for bullying my Simone. Since returning to Cebros, you haven't learned anything except how to be cold and repulsive like that woman. You are her own flesh and blood."
