The Heiress’ Return & Revenge

The man who had been guarding Jodie had died.

This time, her biological father arranged for someone else to escort her back to Cebros.

Although she was part of the geomancy association, she was well aware of what had happened in Cebros.

So, she had already figured out how to reintegrate herself back into the Gray Family.

Before returning to the Gray Family, she had the man check on Steven and her other brothers’ situation.

She found out that Steven was on a business trip with their eldest brother while Salma and the other four brothers were at home.

With this information, she made herself look haggard and disheveled before returning home.

Jodie came back during lunchtime.

Lately. Salma’s temper had become unpredictable due to the incident with the worms.

Whenever Steven and Reuben were away on business, Salma demanded that her other four sons have lunch with her every day.

Anyone who didn’t listen or tried to escape would definitely be scolded harshly.

The Gray Family brothers had been avoiding their mother like mice avoiding a cat lately.

This was because Steven had instructed them to appease Salma as much as possible.

It would be troublesome if her mood turned sour and she started causing trouble.

There was no choice but for the four brothers to have lunch at home with their mother every day.

Just as they started eating, the butler brought Jodie in.

Salma and the Gray Family brothers were a bit confused.

And when Jodie saw Salma’s appearance, she was startled.

Her face was covered in red spots, which was quite terrifying-

It was even scarier than when she had been affected by the backlash before.

However, she had mentally prepared herself for this, so she suppressed her fear and disgust.)
