The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 227 She Couldn’t Wait Any Longer

Titus’ words immediately changed the expressions on the faces of Luca and Aaron.

Their little comforting fantasy was completely shattered.

They couldn’t help but wonder, What would Simone do if she were in our shoes? She’ll most likely go to our parents and beg for mercy. And if that doesn’t work, she’ll probably kneel alongside Andrew.

Of course, that was the old Simone.

The Simone now would probably just sneer and tell Andrew, “You deserve it.”

People were always afraid of comparisons.

With such a comparison, Jodie’s concern seemed very insincere.

Aaron sighed. “Yeah, if she truly cared, she wouldn’t just say it with her words and make us beg Dad. Even if we go, it’s not her who gets scolded by Dad. But she benefits from the favor she has done for Andrew. She can still maintain the impression of being kind and caring toward him.”

He continued, “Speaking of which, I can’t help but think of the first episode of the variety show. I got food poisoning from eating the dumplings she made, and she said she cared about me, but she didn’t even stay with me.

“The next day, she completely forgot about me. The congee I drank was made by the production team. But when I had a stomachache before, Simone would make medicinal meals for me.

congee and

“She would even send messages to remind me to eat on time. For some time, she would even cook and bring me food to the company.”

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Why was I so blind back then and not see Simone’s kindness? Comparisons can indeed reveal the truth.”

Without careful consideration, they wouldn’t realize the difference between sincere and fake

care.

With that being said, Luca also felt heartbroken.

“Yeah, in this episode of the variety show, I was hurt by Jodie too. Let’s put aside the fact that she betrayed me and talk about my sore throat. Simone used to make medicinal meals for me and made candies to soothe my throat.”

“She reminded me not to drink alcohol or to drink less. But Jodie only asked it I needed her

to help me buy medicine, and when I said no, she didn’t bother. In the following days, she didn’t even ask me how my throat was doing. We used to go to great lengths to care for and spoil her.”

He said with a sad expression, “That time we went camping, she suddenly got a fever, and the car broke down on the way back to the city. We couldn’t hitch a ride, so the three of us-me, Andrew, and Aaron-took turns carrying her and ran around 10 miles to the hospital. But what about her? How did she treat us when we were sick?”

He never really thought about it before, so he didn’t have such a strong feeling. Now that it was brought up, it was quite hurtful.
