Titus was stunned when his mother slapped him across the face. “Mom, what did I do to upset you?” Throughout his life, his parents had never laid a finger on him. He never expected to be slapped like this.

Reuben had a suspicion. “Is it because of what’s been happening online?” They had been receiving calls and messages on their way back.

Salma’s face turned serious. “What else could it be?” She looked at her eldest son and asked, “Have you been intimate with Jodie, too?”

He was taken aback by the question and shook his head. “No.”

He had carried Jodie back to her room when she fell asleep before. Occasionally, he would hug her shoulders to comfort her. Due to their age and personalities, their relationship was never as close as the younger brothers‘ with her. He had never kissed her on the check or carried her on his lap since they grew up.

Salma looked at him sternly. “You better not have, and you better not in the future. Don’t forget, you’re engaged. No wonder every time Valerie comes to our house, her relationship with Jodie seems distant. She must’ve noticed something between you and her that goes beyond just being siblings.”

She had not been happy about the strained relationship between her future daughter–in–law and her adopted daughter before. But now, she realized she might have been wrong. Jodie, their adopted daughter, had completely influenced her sons.

Reuben was stunned by these words. It was true that Valerie had caused some conflicts with. hirn before because of their special relationship as siblings. They had crossed the line with their excessive pampering of their adopted sister, but he had not paid much attention to it. After all, they had been living like this for over ten years, and it was normal for them to show some extra care for their sister.

At this stage, he could not help but think about it more. Seeing his younger brothers hugging and comforting Jodie at home did not bother him because he was used to it. When he saw the photos online and the various captions, however, he realized something was off.

His younger brothers and their adopted sister were being overly intimate in public. The kisses from Aaron, the closeness at the bar from Titus, and Luca cuddling her on his lap. These photos were stitched together and shared on social media and video platforms, and it did not sit right with him.

Salma saw her eldest son’s expression and trembled with anger once again. “Do you also have inappropriate thoughts about Jodie?”

their resentment toward Simone grew. Otherwise, excluding the drama, they had treated

close to them after she started making herbal medicine and pills and giving massages to them. It was because of this that Jodie began to feel threatened. So, behind their backs, she

realized how terrible it was. With Simone’s straightforward personality, she would
