The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 26 Juicy Drama

After their meal, Simone and her crew took a leisurely stroll around the village before returning to their lodging.

Meanwhile, Aaron and the others had finished their dinner..

Jodie took the initiative and quickly cleaned up the kitchen and dishes. She didn’t enjoy these chores, but she wanted to maintain a favorable image on the live stream and give the viewers the impression of being a wonderful person. So, she bit her tongue and got to work.

Just as she finished in the kitchen, she saw Simone and her crew entering, chatting away.

Jodie remembered the photos shared in the group earlier and suddenly felt a sense of unfairness. She wondered why she always did the work while Simone enjoyed meals with the others.

Meanwhile, Simone and the others settled into the courtyard; conversing and working on their storage baskets.

Seeing this, Aaron couldn’t help but recall how they had all been scorched by the sun earlier that day. He walked over and found a spot near his sister. He asked, “Did you make the straw hats you wore today?”

“Yeah!”

Simone, perceptive as always, instantly recognized his intentions. She sensed he was angling for some assistance in making straw hats, and as expected, he asked, “How about helping us make a few?”

She shot him a discerning look. “Can’t you do it yourself?” She was determined not to let him off the hook so easily. To be precise, no one from the Gray Family would be getting preferential treatment from her again.

Once again rebuffed by his sister, Aaron had to swallow his pride. “Alright, fine, forget it then.”

She nodded. “Good, I’m glad you understand.”

He was taken aback by her response and grumbled, “Geez… My sister gets more exasperated by the day.
