The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

The Heiress‘ Return & Revenge

Chapter 75 Settling the Score

Salma stared at Jodie and the others, her mind filled with questions. When did her sons and adopted daughter become like this? When Jo first arrived, all five sons resisted and clamored for a sister. Especially the youngest, who would wake up crying and searching for his lost sister every night. He became listless and lacked vitality.

They sought help from a master who suggested that Jo should be called by Simone. This would not only help them find their biological daughter in the future but also bring happiness and prosperity to the Gray Family. The master also recommended that Jo sleep with the youngest at night to help suppress his nightmares.

Initially, the youngest resisted, but after a few days, his attitude toward Jo slowly changed. He no longer woke up from nightmares, and his mental state began to improve with Jo’s company. They developed a close bond, and Jo integrated herself into the lives of the other sons, improving their relationships with each other. The boys no longer ranted about looking for their sister.

Salma wondered when the dynamics started to reverse. The sons, apart from doting on Jo, would worry and pamper her. She remembered the incident when the eldest son princess carried Jo upstairs, claiming that Jo had fallen asleep on the couch. The sons would compete to carry Jo when the family went out, and they happily helped her finish her meals. If anyone else had asked them to do that, her fussy sons wouldn’t have done it, but they happily helped Jo.

Initially, Salma was pleased with the relationship between the adopted daughter and the sons, thinking of it as sibling–like. However, now she felt a chill down her spine, questioning if her sons were treating Jo as a sister or something more inappropriate. This is preposterous. They can’t treat their adopted sister like that. She’s a girl, Salma had never taught her about the difference in sexes, so she might not know to stay away from the boys. But you boys are older than her. You should know better.

Salma’s anger grew as she thought about it.

Jodie noticed a sharp gaze shooting at them and saw the complexity and anger on Salma’s face. Jodic, seeking comfort, sat next to Salma and hugged her, expressing her grievances. Her eyes were red, and she said, “Mom, they’re all cursing me. I’m so upset.” Jodie had gotten used to being comforted by her brothers and had forgotten to restrain herself in front of Salma.

If this was in the past, Salma probably wouldn’t think too much about it, but after the Internet’s rumors went wild and talked about how she was flirting with Aaron and looked more like a couple than siblings, everyone was starting to take it the wrong way. Salma must be keeping an eye on the Internet lately, so she couldn’t let Salma misunderstand this. Jodie believed that Simone was behind all of this, intending to harm her.

Ever since the livestream began, Simone hinted that Jodie and Aaron shared a close relationship. Now, a lot of people were replaying the show and taking a screenshot of all the intimate actions between Jodie and Aaron. Then she set up a trap for her and Leon and dragged Titus and Aaron into this, making them look like they were having a sordid relationship. She did it on purpose. To hurt me.

Determined to settle the score, Jodie continued to hold Salma and express her grievances. “Mom, I.”

Salma froze up at first when Jodie held her. Salma, listening to Jodie’s complaints, felt her anger dissipate and patted Jodie on the back. She did raise this child, and she patted her, feeling concerned for her.
