The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 208 Neither Can I Afford It, nor Do I Care

Upon returning to the Gray Family, Simone received a warm welcome. Steven immediately gave luer a bank card and told her to spend it as she pleased. If she ran out of money, she could ask Salma or him for more.

Sahna held her hand and tearfully expressed her relief about Simone finally returning home after suffering outside all these years.

Although the Gray brothers weren’t particularly warm, they didn’t have any ill intentions toward her at first. Even the coldest one, Andrew, would greet her and exchange a few words.

However, it didn’t take long for Jodie to start coming up with petty little tricks. She insinuated to the Gray Family that Simone wanted to take everything away from her, including her status as the Gray Family’s adoptive daughter.

Initially, they reprimanded Simone due to Jodie’s accusations. Simone explained herself, but they didn’t believe her. As the accusations continued, she grew tired of explaining because she realized it was pointless at all. Either way, because she constantly defended herself against their accusations of the things she didn’t do out of their trust for Jodie, the Gray Family began to think that Simone liked to cause trouble. They were biased, only believing in their adoptive daughter, whom they had raised for over ten years, instead of their biological daughter, who had been wandering outside for over ten years.

Simone felt saddened and disappointed by their unconditional favoritism toward Jodie and the differential treatment. Actually, if they had taken the time to investigate Jodie’s instigations and insinuations, they would see who was lying. But they didn’t.

For that reason, their so–called concern and care were just a joke for Simone. That was why she wanted to leave the Gray Family before she was kidnapped in her previous life. She completely lost hope in them when they chose to save Jodie first.

Salma didn’t expect Simone to not only refute her but also say such hurtful words. Indeed, Simone had treated us well and cared about us. But we’re family, aren’t we? Shouldn’t we be supposed to care about each other? Besides, we were blinded before, which led to misunderstandings.

Why must Simone keep holding onto this and not let go?

Even though Salma was angered by how Simone mocked her for being shameless, she managed to hold back her anger and said, “The past is in the past. We know we have misunderstood you.” Looking sincere, she continued, “That’s why we want to bring you back home. From now on, we will make it up to you and genuinely treat you well.”

Mrs. Gray, feel free to stay in this lobby as long as you want!” Indeed, she didn’t expect Salina to come and make amends with her.

So they start discovering Jodie’s true colors, realizing they had misunderstood me in the past, and remember my good qualities, huh? Who do they think they are for controlling me as they please?

I misunderstood her before. I wanted to mend our relationship and meet her, so I figured this was a perfect opportunity for me to do so. Little did I know that she didn’t show me any sign of respect. What do you suggest we should do? By the looks of things, I think she’s not just playing
