The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 25 He Finally Understood.

Aaron realized that engaging in verbal disputes with Zac and Simone was a surefire way to invite trouble. They countered his comments every time, which frustrated him, mainly because Simone consistently took Zac’s side. Aaron began to question if she genuinely considered him her brother. The more he dwelled on this, the more discomfort and jealousy grew within him. After all, she was his sister, not Zac’s. As he directed his gaze towards Zac, a flicker of hostility became apparent on his face.

Furthermore, a previous incident concerning slots had already created a rift between them. This made Aaron wonder whether Zac had ulterior motives to separate his sister from him. When Aaron locked eyes with Simone, her demeanor appeared cold. Aaron realized that this situation couldn’t continue. He couldn’t allow Zac to take his sister away. He needed to find a way to bring her back.

Regarding the request from the four brothers to teach her a lesson and make her realize her mistake, he could temporarily set that aside. Being her brother, allowing her to win for once didn’t appear to be a significant matter. It was a means to mend their relationship and avoid giving Zac the satisfaction of victory. With this in mind, he turned to her and asked in a gentler tone, “Are you cooking this afternoon?” Even though Jodie had recently started cooking, he still believed Simone’s culinary skills were superior.

Simone glanced at Aaron and replied, “Someone invited us for a meal, so I’m not cooking.”

This left him speechless. He had initially planned to approach her while she was cooking to help mend the relationship.

On the side, Zac noticed Aaron’s attitude toward Simone was slightly off. She was generally easygoing. but there was a lingering resentment toward Aaron and Jodie. Suddenly, it struck Zac that the Gray Family had found their long–lost daughter, yet they hadn’t disclosed her identity publicly or included her in social gatherings. What perplexed him was that they still treated their adopted daughter as the family’s heiress.

When he recalled the past few days of interaction between the Gray siblings and Simone, he suspected she might be the long–lost daughter the Gray Family had found. It seemed like they mistreated her, which led her to distance herself from the Gray siblings and potentially harbor a sense of aversion toward them. At this moment, Zac felt like he finally understood.

This realization further deepened Zac’s dislike for Aaron and Jodie. He pondered, “If Simone wants to distance herself from them, why do they keep insisting on approaching her? They’re so annoying.”

He smiled smugly at Aaron and said, “Don’t worry: I’ll take pictures of the meal and share them in the group chat when we eat. Then, you’ll know what you’re missing.”

Aaron was left speechless, thinking. “Who the hell wants to see what you’re eating? That’s just masochistic.” He snickered sarcastically and said, “Well, thank you.”

With a grin, Zac responded, “You’re welcome. I’ll satisfy your curiosity since you seem to enjoy it.”

Aaron was at a loss for words, thinking, “This guy is as annoying as ever.” “That’s unnecessary; it’s too much trouble,” he refused.

Nevertheless, Zac happily said, “No worries, it’s not troublesome.”
