The Heiress’ Return & Revenge @51% Chapter 22 Jealousy Although his face was pale, a bright smile shone in his eyes. Looking at Simone, he said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Thank you!” She smiled at him and replied, “There’s no need to thank me. It was something I could do.” She had always had a good impression of this man. Not only was he one of the very few men who never tried to please Jodie, but he also had a genuine and open personality. Even when the reservoir’s gate was closed and the two kids were not in immediate danger, he chose to jump into the water and swim toward them, showing that he trusted what she was doing. Like her, he also did not want the two kids to be in danger, and at the same time, he had a compassionate heart. Seeing the smiles in their eyes and hearing their conversation, Leon felt an uncomfortable tightness in his chest.

He had wanted to reproach Simone for being so foolish as to risk her safety to save Zac; if she had not managed to rescue him, she might have lost her life as well. However, considering they were being live-streamed, he forcibly held his tongue. Otherwise, Zac’s fans would surely criticize him, while other viewers would also call him cold-blooded. So, he approached them, his expression full of concern as he looked at Simone, asking, “Simone, are you alright?” The smile in her eyes faded slightly. She shook her head and replied flatly, “Thank you for your concern, Mr. Foster. I’m fine.” Leon was left speechless as frustration filled his chest. He wanted to ask why she had to talk to him in such a cold and distant manner, but as they were being live-streamed, he had no choice but to keep it to himself. In the end, he managed to squeeze out the words. “Glad that you’re okay.” Aaron also wanted to reprove Simone, thinking she must have lost her mind to save Zac despite the danger. At the same time, he felt a pang of jealousy, but he also restrained himself as they were being live-streamed. Moreover, seeing her act so indifferent toward Leon, he stopped himself from approaching them to speak. Seeing that Simone was not only fine but also managed to rescue Zac, Jodie became extremely unhappy. At this rate, not only would Zac owe Simone a favor, but many viewers who were watching the livestream would see her in a different light. She would have to work even harder to do well after this, or else she would not be able to stand out in comparison to Simone.

Feeling displeased, fans of Aaron, Jodic, and Leon began to post insulting and sarcastic comments. One of them commented, “There’s no such thing as coincidence! I think the production team planned this in advance.’ Another chimed in, ‘I agree. How could she predict it so accurately? I don’t believe it, anyway! ‘Didn’t they say Simone had a sugar daddy? And Zac is from a prestigious family. This is a publicity stunt arranged especially for them. “The production team went to great lengths to promote these two. They even came up with such a publicity stunt, which is amazing. These comments

like this?’ ‘I find them annoying now, and it’s making me dislike those three as well. This time, it was not just Zac’s fans who disliked the trio; even fans of Eric and Keira, as well as casual viewers, were annoyed by these offensive comments. Naturally, the trio’s zealous fans refused to back 2/3 Chapter 22 Jealousy down, so they came into conflict again with casual viewers and fans of the other guests. Meanwhile, after Simone and Zac finished showering and getting dressed, Deuce and Uno brought their two mischievous kids to the farmhouse. They looked at Simone and Zac with gratitude, expressing, “We can’t thank both of you enough for what you did today.” They even wanted to bow to the duo to express their gratitude, but Simone stopped them in time. “Knowing that the two kids were in danger, we certainly wouldn’t have just stood by and done nothing when saving them was within our capabilities.” It was the second time she had used the phrase ‘within our capabilities’ today. Instead of turning people off, it made everyone think she was very down-to-earth. She saved lives without deliberately seeking credit for it. Deuce stressed gratefully. “No matter what, our
