Chapter 491 Extra From The Past (1)

At the Gray Residence, Salma received a call from the kidnappers and immediately contacted several of

her sons to come over

Leon happened to be with Titus at the time and, upon

hearing the news, followed suit.

When they arrived, they saw Jodie and Simone sitting side by side on a long bench with their hands tied behind their backs.

The kidnapper held a gun and pointed it at the two of them.

Salma and the others negotiated with the kidnapper for a long time.

The kidnapper gave them a choice.

Jodie, with red eyes and biting her lip, said, “Mom, Reuben, Titus, Luca, Andrew, Aaron, you should choose. Simone. Although Simone is better than me in martial arts, this person has a gun, which is quite dangerous. Simone is the biological daughter of the Gray Family. I am grateful enough to have been raised by all of you. I am willing to make this sacrifice.”

Upon hearing Jodie’s words, Salma and the others, who were already biased, had only one thought in their minds-Simone was also skilled in martial arts, so there was no need to worry too much if she was taken away by this person.

On the other hand, Jodie did not know martial arts and was delicate. What if she got hurt by the kidnapper? They comforted themselves, saying that the kidnapping was here for the money, and they had already paid the ransom in full. They didn’t report it to the police so he wouldn’t harm Simone.

Upon hearing Jodie’s words and seeing the expressions of the Gray Family members, Simone roughly guessed their choice.

She didn’t say anything, as it wouldn’t make a difference.

If she asked them to choose her, they would definitely accuse her of being selfish and self-centered, and they would think they should choose Jodie.

If she pretended to be like Jodie and asked them to choose Jodie, then they would take it seriously and think that she, because of her martial arts skills, understood the situation better.

In the end, they chose Jodie instead of her.

If Simone wanted to sever ties or something, they would definitely say, “Didn’t you ask us to choose Jodic?” So, to these people whose hearts were already twisted, whatever she said would be wrong.

She didn’t want to become the kind of person she hated the most.

Hence, she would just let them choose.

Anyway, since the kidnapping began, she had mentally prepared herself and didn’t expect these family members to save her.

She had previously found an opportunity to pick up a small stone and tied it to the rope behind her back.

It was about to break, and she would save herself.

Although she had made some mental preparations, Simone still held a glimmer of hope.

After everything she had done for the family, she believed they might have a bit of affection for her and choose her. Then, she heard Salma say, “We choose Jo, so release her first.”

The Gray brothers also said, “Yes, release Jo.

The glimmer of hope in Simone’s eyes vanished, replaced by a mocking expression.

Well, it didn’t matter anyway. She had already planned to distance herself from them.

After this ordeal, as long as she could safely go back, she would sever ties with them.

Upon hearing the others’ choices, the kidnappers looked at Leon and asked, “What about you?” Simone also looked at Leon, her childhood sweetheart and boyfriend.
