The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

Chapter 276 How Could She Be So Cruel?

After the recording was exposed, Salma faced criticism and became a hot topic of discussion.

Soon, her family called and scolded her for her actions.

Not long after, her mother-in-law called and reprimanded her as well.

In various social circles, people deliberately brought up the incident, mocking her for going too far as a mother.

Some even directly questioned her, asking what she was thinking. How could she show such favoritism toward her adopted daughter and suppress her biological daughter?

She felt as if her dignity had been stripped away and trampled on. So, she chose not to respond.

Already in a bad mood, her irritation grew when she heard Titus’ words.

She furrowed her brow and said, “What’s the point of saying these things now? Besides, it’s mainly because of Andrew’s foolishness. Simone is heartless. She did this on purpose to embarrass us. I don’t think this incident has much to do with Jo. Don’t blame everything on

her.”

She had raised Jodie for over ten years, treating her as her own daughter.

Jodie also treated her as a real mother, clinging to her and acting like a close companion.

Although Jodie’s behavior with her sons had crossed boundaries, she didn’t want to completely reject Jodie. Doing so would be like denying the decision they made back then. So, even though she said she wanted to send Jodie away, deep down, she wanted to give her at chance.

Her husband suggested keeping Jodie at home and monitoring her, and she agreed. They even hired a tutor. They simply wanted to bring Jodie back.

When Titus saw his mother’s reaction, he knew that she hadn’t personally experienced being deceived and hurt by Jodie. So, she wasn’t as hurt.

She still had feelings for Jodie and was willing to give her a chance.

This time, Simone was probably the one they were angry at because of the recording incident.

They felt that Simone shouldn’t have done this and made them lose their reputation. Titus didn’t say much because it wouldn’t make a difference.
