Salma’s face darkened upon hearing her two sons‘ words.

“What should we do? Jo has been raised delicately since she was young. She has worked so hard to learn household chores and cooking just for this variety show. It’s not easy.”

After a moment of thought, she suggested, “How about asking Aaron and Jodie to withdraw from this variety show? This way, they won’t have to suffer anymore and won’t clash with Simone, aggravating the conflict.

Titus immediately disagreed, “No. If they withdraw now, it won’t be good for their reputation.”

Moreover, it would be like admitting defeat to Simone.

He added, “Jo has always wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. If we ask her to give up now, she’ll definitely be upset.”

Salma asked, “Then what should we do?”

Titus pondered for a moment and said, “Mom, how about you give Simone a call and ask her to withdraw?”

Salma was taken aback. “Are you suggesting that I ask her to come back?”

Titus nodded. “Yes. She cared so much about your health before. You can say you’re not feeling well and would like her to come back. You’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, right? It’s a good opportunity for her to come back and give you a massage. As long as she withdraws from this variety

show, we’ll compensate her later. After all, she’s our biological sister. We can’t treat her unfairly, can we?” He planned to provide good opportunities for Simone after she returned.

Andrew chimed in, ‘If she comes back, I can give her the role of the second female lead in my new drama.”

The role of the first female lead had already been assigned to Jodie..

After listening to the reasoning, Salma agreed, “All right. I’ll give her a call, but haven’t they all handed in their phones?” She had been at home watching the live stream these days.

“It’s not a problem. I’ll contact the production team and ask for Simone’s current phone number,” Titus said.

Salma nodded, “Okay.”

He quickly obtained Simone’s new phone number from the production team.

Salma picked up her phone and dialed the number.

Simone was making straw baskets in the courtyard. When she heard the phone ring, she picked it up and glanced at the incoming call.

Although the new phone only displayed the number, she immediately recognized it as Salma’s. In the

past, she had memorized the phone numbers of everyone in her family due to her longing for family

affection. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She answered the call and turned on the recording, as well as the speaker.

“Hello!” Salma’s voice soon came through. “Simone, it’s me.”

Simone asked coldly, “What’s the matter?”

Salma said, “I haven’t been feeling well these days, and my sleep quality hasn’t been good. Come back

tomorrow.”

Simone chuckled. “You want me to come back to make medicinal meals and give you

massages?”

Salma hesitated. That was indeed what she meant, but the words coming from Simone’s mouth made it feel somewhat unpleasant.

“I’m not feeling well, so I want you to come back and visit me.”

Simone asked, “It’s not that you miss me, but your body is uncomfortable, so you need me to return. Am I just a kind of caretaker in your eyes?”

Salma felt awkward.

She had been used to Simone’s care, and she did miss it a little now that Simone wasn’t around.

However, she couldn’t say that out loud; it would sound like she was surrendering. “How can you speak like this?” She continued assertively, “I am your mother, and if I want you to come back, you come back.”

Keira, who was nearby, frowned upon hearing the voice on the phone.

Simone asked, “Do you know that I’m participating in a variety show?”

Salma replied, “I know, but it’s just a variety show. It doesn’t matter even if you come back.”

Simone continued, “You don’t want me to continue participating because Jodie’s performance on the variety show is mediocre.”

She added bluntly, “And you called me to ask me to quit.”

Salma didn’t expect Simone to be so aware of their intentions. She didn’t directly admit it and said, “I watched the live stream, and Jo performed very well. She’s very outstanding.”

“Titus said that as long as you come back, he will help you find two good opportunities.”

“And Andrew said he can cast you as the second fernale lead in his new drama.”

It seemed like they were implying that they had done enough for her.

Simone sneered. “Well…. I thank you for that. But I wouldn’t dare to accept any of the good opportunities from Titus. He’s probably set too many traps for me and is just waiting for me to fall into them. I’ve experienced this before, and I won’t fall for it again. Jodie is the female lead in Andrew’s new

ma, right? Are you trying to make me play the supporting role for her?”

Salma had the speakerphone on

Andrew had a fiery temper.

Upon hearing Simone’s sarcastic remark, he couldn’t help but shout, “Simone, don’t be ungrateful. If weren’t for the fact that you’re our biological sister, we wouldn’t have bothered with you.

What’s wrong with helping Jo? Why do you always have to compare yourself with her? Can’t you just stay low?”

This statement made Keira furrow her brow even more. Could someone really say something like this? He helped his adopted sister belittle his biological sister and expected her to accept it. What was wrong

with them?

Simone sneered. “I am indeed ungrateful. What can you do about it? You made it clear before that you wanted to blacklist me from the entertainment industry, and you’ve acted on it. So, continue with your blacklist. Let’s see if I care.”

Displeased, Salma said, “Simone, don’t stay upset anymore. We are still a family. If you come back. tomorrow, we won’t blame you.”

This daughter of hers had such a strong temper.

She personally called Simone to come back and extended an olive branch. What more did Simone

want?

Simone scoffed. “Madam Johnston, let me remind you that I’ve already cut ties with your entire family. So, stop with the emotional blackmail. If you’re feeling unwell, please go to the hospital. If your family has any issues in the future, please don’t come looking for me.”

She hung up before Salma and the others could respond.

At the Gray Residence, Salma’s expression turned even more sour upon hearing the busy tone from the phone. She tightened her grip on her water glass. “How… How can she be like this?”

She felt a strange sense of emptiness inside. Did Simone no longer care about her biological mother’s health? The four brothers also wore displeased expressions.

“She has fully matured now”

Titus squinted. “Then, we’ll undermine her and ensure she never succeeds again.”

He refused to believe that with the four of them present, Simone would still be able to secure favorable. opportunities and continue her career in the entertainment industry after completing this variety

show.

She was the one who forced their hand.

Salma also wanted to teach Simone a lesson. “Good idea. She’s crossing the line at the moment.” Then, she added, “But regardless, she is still your sister. Don’t go too far.”

Titus smiled. “Mom, rest assured. We have our methods.”

If she weren’t his sister, he would have resorted to more extreme measures long ago. And because the was their sister, he didn’t want her to slip away from their grasp.

On the other hand, Keira looked at Simone with sympathy. “Your mother and brother are going too far”

She wouldn’t be able to endure it either if she had to deal with a family like that.

No wonder Simone cut ties with them.

Simone didn’t mind and simply smiled. Im accustomed to it”

She, too, couldn’t quite comprehend the thought process of the Grays.

They didn’t like her and only cared about Jodic. They also instructed her not to compete with Jodie, so her decision to sever ties and leave should have satisfied them, right? Why did they insist on holding her back! If hat a group of oddballs,

As the two were conversing, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their discussion.
