The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 24 Simone, Whose Side Are You On?

Leon was aware that Simone had chosen mechanical engineering as her minor in college, but he was still surprised by her ability to repair various electrical appliances.

Aaron, on the other hand, had no idea that his younger sister possessed this skill. She had been at home for over a year and had never mentioned it to them. However, he didn’t consider that even if she had mentioned it, the Grays would likely have dismissed it as unimportant. They might have even criticized her for not focusing on more substantial pursuits.

Meanwhile, Jodie couldn’t help but curse Simone in her mind. She believed that Simone had hidden her abilities too well during her time at home, and now she was intentionally showcasing them on the program. Jodie thought to herself, “Such a cunning person.”

As Jodie looked at the abundance of food on the table compared to their meager supplies, she couldn’t help but feel jealous. She wondered what the big deal was about being able to fix appliances. She thought, “She’ll enjoy her time in the spotlight for a day or two. Let’s see how long she can stay in the limelight when there are no more appliances to fix.”

Jodie stared at the pork and chicken on the table and commented, “Wow, you guys received a lot of food today. Will you be able to finish it all?” Smiling, she continued, The weather is hot, and we don’t have a refrigerator where we live. I wonder if the meat will spoil by

tomorrow.”

They had spent most of the day picking fruit, but their reward did not include any meat. The family they worked for had only given them a few eggs, rice, eggplants, cucumbers, cabbage, and potatoes.

With her statement, Jodie hoped that Simone and the others would share some of their meat. After all, it would go to waste if they couldn’t finish it, and that would be a shame. Of course, if Simone refused, it could also make her appear stingy.

Simone easily understood the implied meaning in Jodie’s words. She thought, “She thinks the meat will spoil if we can’t finish it, so they want a portion.” With a smile, she responded, “It won’t spoil. An old lady taught us to hang the meat in a basket in the well to keep it fresh. Luckily, our yard has a well.”

Jodie was visibly annoyed by Simone’s apparent pretense. She decided to be more direct. “You won’t be able to finish all of this.”

Simone raised an eyebrow and replied, “You don’t need to worry about that.”

Zac proudly added, “Simone earned all of this meat by repairing electrical appliances. Then, he looked at Jodie with a smirk. “If you want meat, earn it yourself. Don’t try to take ours. They wouldn’t even share the meat with the sibling duo, even if they were going to feed it to dogs.

Jodie was shocked by his blunt words. She thought, “Crave meat? How can he say that? He knows I’m from an affluent family and have tasted all kinds of meat. I’ve only recently learned to cook a few meat dishes during my previous cooking lessons. I just wanted to showcase my cooking skills and divert attention from Simone. But his words make it sound like I’m desperately craving meat.”

Tears welled in her eyes, and her voice quivered as she said, “I didn’t want it, and I wasn’t trying to take it. I just thought you had so much meat, and I wanted to remind you that it might go bad. That’s all.”

However, Jodie’s pitiable appearance failed to elicit sympathy from Zac. He rolled his eyes and said,
