The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 131 You Have No Idea?

Jodie expressed her desire to borrow a mystical tool from Melinda, so the two masters decided to leave promptly. Steven instructed his secretary to escort them out. Harold had already left, and Freya didn’t want to stay either. She wasn’t acquainted with Jodie and knew that Jodie couldn’t assist her in borrowing the mystical tool, so she left to find a solution on her own.

After everyone departed, Steven sat there silently. Jodie was in so much pain that she couldn’t bear it, so she made a phone call to Melinda in front of them.

Due to Steven’s presence, she refrained from saying anything negative about Simone in front of Melinda. However, she did mention the need for the mystical tool and requested Melinda to lend her one, a precious antique that could ward off bad luck.

Melinda readily agreed.

Observing Jodie and Melinda conversing so familiarly on the phone, Steven couldn’t help but furrow his brows slightly. He hadn’t forgotten that his biological daughter, Simone, and Leon were once a couple. According to online rumors, Simone and Leon broke up due to his ambiguous relationship with Jodie.

Steven had business dealings with Adam and would often meet up to play basketball or have a meal together. Their relationship was quite good. He had a favorable impression of Leon, so he had assumed that Simone’s relationship with him was fine.

Little did he know that not only did they break up, but it also became widely known

As a result, his impression of Leon plummeted. Now, seeing Jodie and Melinda, it seemed more like a mother–in–law and daughter–in–law relationship. This disgusted him. Not only did Jodie lead his son astray, but she also snatched Simone’s boyfriend, crossing a line for him.

If it weren’t for his plan to investigate the relationship between Jodie and Master Shane, he would want his wife to send her away now. Anyway, she was already an adult and could survive on her own outside of the Gray Family.

Witnessing his two wayward sons, Steven was furious. “I’ll be going on a business trip abroad. in a few days, and you two will accompany me.

Steven responded coldly, “If I tell you to go, then go. Don’t bother asking why.” Then, he ushered them out, saying, “I still have some business to attend to. You can go back first.” He planned to keep his two sons away from Jodie for a while.
